Vermont was still indulging himself in his dirty thoughts when Felicity suddenly lifted her head. Then, her lips accidentally brushed against his chin. Both of them were stunned, and the awkwardness followed.

Of course, Felicity was the more embarrassed one, and there did not seem to be any special expression on Vermont's face.

Felicity cleared her throat, breaking the awkward silence. "How do you feel? Is it too tight?"

"It's fine."

Vermont replied as he secretly observed Felicity's reaction with an indifferent face.

"Good." Felicity then asked, "Why did Keegan call you just now?"

Vermont's hand trembled, and he almost fell from his seat.

"It's nothing. We just chatted."

Felicity did not ask any further as she filled his bowl with the dish she made. Then, she sat beside him and asked, "Does your company have a group chat?"

"Yeah. Why?"

Felicity's eyes sparkled. "Can you ask them to boost Stella's viewership, then? Bella's new drama is going to be aired on the same day as Ste

    Keegan read Stella's message and replied in a serious manner.Aldor took a peek, and the edge of his eyes twitched.Keegan replied, [Did you get rid of the mole on your foot?]Aldor's eyelid twitched even more as he quickly grabbed Keegan's hand which was about to hit the send button."Mr. Kane, that's not Madam's foot."Keegan paused and glanced at him. "How can you tell?"Aldor immediately explained himself. "This picture went viral a while ago, and a user turned it into a WhatsApp sticker."He took his phone out, and indeed, there was a sticker of the exact same picture on his phone.Keegan looked at it and said curiously, "Why would she suddenly send me a picture of someone else's foot?"Aldor thought about it and came up with an assumption. "Maybe the shoes she is wearing don't fit her, or maybe she's just messing with you."Keegan asked, "How can we find out?"Aldor found a picture of heels stretched out by chubby feet and sent it to Keegan. "Send this to Madam," he sa

    The housekeeper had already tidied up the room, and Stella wanted to quickly show her old classmate around.However, her old classmate seemed very interested in her house and insisted on meeting Stella's husband to thank him in person.At that time, the big wedding photo in the living room hadn't been put up yet, and there weren't any photos of Stella and Keegan on the first floor.Her old classmate kept talking, sounding regretful, saying Stella shouldn't have married so early, considering how well she did in school. She even said that marriage shouldn't be based only on material things but on shared values. She also mentioned that a big age gap often leads to relationship problems.Stella listened to her words and realized that she was implying that she had married an older man for his money.Stella immediately got a little mad at her. However, she did not confront her about it out of politeness. Instead, she began to treat her old classmate a lot colder.Stella's old classmate

    When Stella asked Keegan about it, Keegan shot her another question. "Do you want her to stay for another year?"Clearly, Stella did not want that. Instead, she was more than happy that her old classmate left. She just could not understand why she would just leave without saying anything. However, Stella did not think much about it.Stella would have forgotten about this incident. However, after two months, her old classmate posted a paragraph on her Twitter account that was a thousand words long, describing how she was harassed by her classmate's husband when she was staying at their house.In the paragraph, she claimed that she did not tell her classmate about what happened and kept everything to herself out of "good intentions". However, she saw the husband flirting with other women again, and she could not stop herself from exposing him anymore.A lot of people knew that the old classmate had gone to stay at Stella's house, so everybody knew very well who the old classmate was

    Keegan replied, "I didn't. I snapped at her."Stella paused and burst out laughing.Keegan was never going to let things go her way.Stella didn't know that there were other reasons why Keegan scolded her classmate, aside from that incident alone. While her old classmate stayed in their house, she spoke ill of Stella to Keegan many times.The old classmate said that Stella was too focused on money and material things. She accused Stella of bullying her other classmates and being very arrogant at school. She also mentioned Sophia and called Stella unsympathetic for rejecting an orphan into her family.At first, Keegan stayed quiet, not wanting to upset Stella. However, he began to lose patience after she kept repeating the same things.He knew very well what kind of person his wife was, and he did not need other people to tell him otherwise.After seeing how resistant Keegan was toward her old classmate, Stella could not help but laugh.

    The words, "having connections" carried a strong sense of bitterness, and they made Stella immediately stop walking.The crew members around them heard what Bella said and looked at Stella.In showbusiness, when someone said that an actress had connections, it would often imply that she was a sugar baby.After all, only a few people who were as rich as Nicole would venture into the entertainment industry.It would take an enormous of luck for an actress to participate in a big production without having anyone to support her at the back. It was extremely difficult.So, a lot of them believed it when Bella said that Stella was a sugar baby.With Stella's gorgeous face, it was hard for others not to be convinced that no one was backing her up in exchange for her body.Even though some actresses did not want to take that path, once someone took an interest in the actresses, there were various ways for one to force them into complying.There were rumors among the crew members about

    Stella and Bella had nothing to do with each other back then, and Keegan could be the only reason why Stella looked her up.Although Stella knew that Keegan did not have anything going on with Bella, she was still provoked by what Bella said.'I'm never going to remarry him if this jerk can't give me a reasonable explanation after this!'Stella suppressed her rising anger and put on a smile. "I don't need anyone to tell me that. That drama was so popular among all the major platforms back then. I'm also a big fan of that drama."Someone at the side chimed in. "You're talking about Legacy, right? It was amazing. I still rewatch it every year.""It's already been four years, and I heard that they are still generating tens of millions from their annual royalties. It shows just how many people are still rewatching it."Bella smirked, brimming with confidence.It was just an achievement that anybody would be proud of.Yelena, who had just finished her makeup, walked over at that mom

    Keegan moved from initial resistance to reluctantly listening, and eventually to questioning."Why do these novels portray men as so stupid and brainless, yelling at the female lead as if they have intermittent explosive disorder?""Is the male lead sick? Forcing the female lead to donate a kidney, is he out of his mind?""How many years would they get for calling the police in their world?""Why is he so dumb? The supporting actress claims the female lead pushed her into the water and he believes it? Is checking surveillance footage illegal?""Stella, are you making fun of me?""I can't learn this. It all feels so neurotic. What does the female lead see in him?"Stella retorted, "Who cares if it's neurotic? Just mimic that stupidity, that's how these innocent women like men who protect them like that."Keegan was very reluctant, but his brain was more compliant than his body. Without needing to study deliberately, everything he heard stuck in his mind.So when Keegan mentione

    Keegan's expression darkened with anger. "You're being completely unreasonable!"Stella crossed her arms, wearing an expression that seemed challenging. "You let her take it. Let's see if I dare."Jaylene hadn't actually wanted those junk items in the first place; she was deliberately trying to stir up discord between them. Now that her goal was achieved, she put on a sympathetic look."Keegan, I don't want it anymore. Don't be angry. Your health is more important. Didn't the doctor say to keep your emotions stable?"Turning her head, she reproached Stella. "Stella, are you here to help Keegan recover his memory or just to provoke him?""Shut up, you brat! Do you even have a say here?"Acting under the guise of a drama, playing the role of someone lacking in manners, was incredibly satisfying.She’d wanted to curse this brat for a long time!Jaylene's lips twitched, but she held back, tearfully saying, "Stella, if you don't like me, I'll leave. There's no need to humiliate me l

    Jaylene understood the situation perfectly. Even though she didn't particularly like these cold, mechanical devices, she put on a pretense of surprise, saying, "Really, Keegan?"Keegan nodded. "Choose one you like.""Keegan!" Before Stella could finish her sentence, she couldn't hold back her sharp voice, "With your pile of junk that I can't even touch normally, she takes a look and now you want to give it to her? What's the meaning of this?!"Keegan frowned, apparently not comprehending her current anger at all. "Jaylene gave me a gift, and I'm giving her one in return. What's the problem?""What problem?" Stella's eyes started to redden. "I can't touch them, so why should she be able to? Have you forgotten, or do you have inappropriate feelings for her?"Keegan's expression darkened. "This makes no sense!"Jaylene secretly delighted in this, hypocritically trying to calm things down, "Forget it, Keegan. Since Stella minds so much, I don't want it anymore. You've strained your r

    The standoff lasted for over twenty minutes before Keegan grabbed a book and knocked the beetle off Jaylene's neck. The beetle fluttered twice and suddenly flew up, landing on Jaylene's face.Jaylene screamed, rolled her eyes, and fainted.As she collapsed, the bug flew off again."Jaylene?"Keegan called out to her.He looked up at Stella and said, "You go start the car, I'll carry her to the hospital."As he spoke, he signaled to Stella.She understood and coldly grunted, "So troublesome."Walking over to Jaylene, she squatted down beside her and slapped her face twice.Jaylene immediately opened her eyes and reached out to push her away. "What are you doing!"Stella was prepared and had already moved back before she could be pushed.She shook her tingling hand and innocently said, "Jaylene, you fainted because of the bug. I was just saving you. Don't believe me? Ask Keegan."Jaylene nearly ground her teeth. Did she think she hadn't heard? She was intentionally exposing h

    Her fingertips trembled with a mix of horror and excitement. Just as the teapot was about to slip from her grasp, Keegan suddenly said, "Jaylene, don't move."Jaylene froze, instinctively thinking Keegan had regained his memory. She had barely twitched when Keegan loudly stopped her again, "Don't move, absolutely don't move."Jaylene wanted to say something, but then felt an itching sensation on her neck, as if something was crawling slowly. Goosebumps erupted all over her body.By now, Stella had turned around and saw Jaylene standing stiffly with the teapot in hand. Her eyes quickly assessed the situation and then she noticed the beetle crawling on Jaylene's neck.It was an unknown species, not overly tentacled but as long as a little finger, its mouthparts slightly twitching, genuinely alarming in appearance.Stella murmured, "It's so big."Jaylene couldn't see what was on her neck, unsure if it would bite or if it was venomous. She stood frozen in place, her voice trembling,

    Seeing him, Stella even lowered her eyes and softly praised, "Mr. Kane, you acted very well."Keegan glared at her, his voice low and intense. "If you keep watching like this, Coco will cut ties with me tomorrow."Stella replied confidently, "No, she won't. After accepting the red envelope, she can tolerate you a little longer."Keegan asked sharply, "Did you teach her to ask for red envelopes like this?""Don't falsely accuse me; I didn't teach her.""You may not have taught her directly, but you set an example. Have you forgotten how you always make me buy things for you?"Stella was speechless. Whenever she wanted Keegan to buy her something, she would often say, "Gifts are only surprises when given voluntarily. If reminded, it shows they don’t like me that much."It had to be said, Coco had learned the essence of it.Stella also felt a bit awkward, thinking that in the future, she needed to avoid such flirtatious conversations between spouses in front of the children. They

    Could she figure all this out?Keegan frowned, casting a disappointed look at Coco. "Are you not listening to me now?"Coco raised her gaze defiantly and stated, "Aunt Stella taught me that if I don't want something someone gives me, I can say no. I don't want this hairpin.""Didn't she teach you that even if you don't like something, you should still say thank you?"Coco fell silent for a moment, then reluctantly said to Jaylene, "Thank you, Aunt Jaylene, but I don't want it."Jaylene hesitated with her hand extended, unsure whether to retract it or leave it there, managing a strained smile. "Then what do you like? Next time, I will get you something you do like."Coco asked, "Do you want me to do something for you?"Jaylene was taken aback. "What?"Coco replied seriously, "Aunt Stella says offering help without reason is either deceitful or thieving. Since you don't like me, why else would you give me something? You want me to do something for you, right?"Jaylene forced a s

    Leighton's incident did indeed revive their suspicions.Jaylene was gullible, but Darcie might see through this scheme. "Keegan, why didn't you go to work today?" Jaylene chose to ask directly at first.Keegan remained composed. "I've been busy with the press conference lately and haven't had much rest. Now that things have slowed down, I thought I'd take a break and relax."Jaylene spoke gently, "You should rest well. Since you came back, you've been busy, and you've been postponing Dr. Stone's follow-up appointments. Keegan, I'm really worried about your health. Since you're resting these days, I'll arrange for Dr. Stone to give you another check-up. Stella has been living here to assist your recovery for so long. We need the doctor to give a clear assessment of whether there's been any improvement. Otherwise, it's not good for Stella's reputation to stay here so long, unmarried and under one roof."Keegan nodded. "Okay, please arrange it. Thank you."His response was decisive,

    Stella had just descended the stairs when she heard that remark, causing her eyelids to twitch as she thought to herself, “Damn it! He really knows how to come up with excuses!”Upon hearing this, Jaylene's eyes briefly flashed with disdain, but she ultimately accepted the shoe covers Keegan handed her. As Keegan led Jaylene into the house, her eyes continued to scrutinize every corner.There were a couple of pillows on the sofa, couple mugs on the table, wedding photos of Keegan and Stella on the walls, and even headbands and hair ties scattered on the table. The house exuded an unmistakable feminine touch.Jaylene's expression darkened, but when Keegan turned to ask if she preferred tea or coffee, she adopted a gentle, harmless demeanor. "Tea would be perfect."Keegan invited her to take a seat and called for Maria to prepare tea. Jaylene spoke softly, "Keegan, I heard from Stella that you brew Dragon Well tea better than anyone else. Is there a special technique?"Stella paused
