Felicity took it as just something that a playboy would typically say, so she curled her lips and said, "Well, this has got to be tough for you then."

Just as she was speaking, her phone rang. It was a call from Stella.

"Are you coming back tonight? Or are you staying at Vermont's place?"

Felicity immediately stood up, "I'm coming back!"

Then, she grabbed the iPad and left. Vermont froze in place.

'Keegan is such a useless guy. When is he going to marry Stella and take her home? He's literally the reason why I'm still single!"

Keegan told Stella that he would find a lawyer for her, and he did. The next day, someone contacted Stella and told her that Keegan had given him her number.

Stella told the lawyer to meet her at a secluded café nearby. She pushed the door open and was a little taken aback.

It turned out that the lawyer was someone she had seen before. It was Ted Eldrich, the same lawyer who represented Bella in the previous defamation case.

Ted stood up as soon as he sa

    Ted was taken aback. "Of course not. He has to be heartless to ask me to help someone in a lawsuit against his ex-wife."Stella frowned. "But I saw you talking to each other during the recess.""Well, we were schoolmates, after all. Besides, we were pretty close back then too." Ted said."Why would he be in the courtroom that day then?"Ted was puzzled. "Wasn't he there to see you?"Stella kept quiet.'See me, my foot! Keegan didn't even know I was the plaintiff.'Stella initially thought that Keegan was there for Bella. However, after discovering that Bella shared those flirtatious messages visible only to her, she realized that was not the case.Moreover, Bella was not the person getting sued. Stella figured that Keegan would not bother himself with a lawsuit between her and Bella's fan if there were really something going on between him and Bella.Stella could not help but think to herself. 'Ted just said that it wasn't Keegan who appointed him. Could it be that Bella hired

    Before the lawsuit, Ted had only seen Stella in photos shared by their classmates in the group chat during the wedding.Ted simply found her attractive back then and nothing more.He did not pay much attention to her. He could not believe that someone as prestigious and unattainable as Keegan would marry a woman with only superficial beauty. He figured that Keegan knew that too, which was why he never brought her to any class reunions.Ted still had the same impression of Stella before coming to this café.However, he suddenly felt like he was the superficial one for judging a person solely based on their looks. He realized that Stella was actually a very interesting person.'Keegan probably didn't bring her out because he was over-possessive rather than being ashamed of her.'Ted chuckled softly as he thought about that and said in a gentler tone than before, "Is there anything else you'd like to ask?""You mentioned that Bella's case is handled by your friend's law firm, right

    Everyone fell silent, and Lydia walked around the kitchen and said, "Just cut off the sprouted parts of the potatoes, and they'll be good to go. Why did you throw them away? Do you think I got these potatoes for free? Also, don't peel the eggplants. The skin has all the nutrients! Why are there fish? Who bought these? Fish has so many bones. How are you expecting the children to eat it? How many times have I told you to buy chicken only? Chicken is rich in protein and good for the children..."She lectured the kitchen staff while pointing at the different items. All of them held their heads down with their lips pursed, dared not to refute her.The kitchen supervisor followed her, nodded, and said, "You're right Ms. Night. These newcomers aren't familiar with our operations yet. I'll make sure to train them better."Lydia was about to say something, but a teacher knocked and came inside. "Ms. Night, there's a letter for you."She frowned. "From who?""It's from a law firm."Lydia

    Hylda replied coldly, "What do you think? You were supposed to look after Hugo, yet you managed to lose him as soon as I sent him to you!"Lydia defended herself. "It wasn't entirely my fault. It was dark, and Hugo ran out on his own. There are so many children in the kindergarten. How am I supposed to keep an eye on everyone?"In fact, Lydia was not feeling guilty at all.Albert invited all the prominent figures of Rivera to his second wedding. Lydia wanted to attend and take this opportunity to expand her social circle. She wanted to know more people of higher social status so that her son would have better opportunities in the future.However, Hylda did not allow her to be there and made it clear that she did not want any of Albert's "poor relatives" to attend her wedding.Although Rainee did not like them too, she still invited them to her wedding. So, the fact that Hylda was not even bothered to hide that she hated them made Lydia furious.Lydia thought to herself. 'Not only

    Bella's fans were still trying to defend her one week after Andrea's fall got exposed.They flooded Bella's Facebook account with messages like [We believe in you.], [Justice will prevail.], etc.The fans argued with the netizens and agencies. They were like a doting mother refusing to believe their child was a murderer, as others claimed.Instead of finding those comments funny, they were rather pathetic to Stella.Fans would always be the ones who suffered the most behind every fallen idol. They regard their idols as shining lights and role models, but knowing a person's true nature through a screen is impossible.After all, fans were also the victims of the capital packaging of idols. Stella found it pathetic that when the idol failed to uphold the law and moral boundaries, their fans became the ones who had to face ridicule and scorn from the public after their idol's wrongdoings got exposed.Perhaps someone could not bear to see how these irrational fans blindly defend their

    "You traitor!" Felicity gritted her teeth. "Why didn't you tell me you were on call with Keegan?"Stella could not stop laughing. "I was about to tell you, but you were too quick."Felicity threw a pillow at Stella's head. "You're the worst!"Then, she went to grab her jacket and put on her shoes. Stella sat up. "Where are you going?"Felicity glared at her while putting her shoes on, "Running away for my life! Keegan is downstairs, isn't he? He's going to kill me if he sees me here later."Then, she opened the door and hurriedly ran to the unit next door.The doorbell rang less than two minutes after Felicity left. Stella went to get the door and saw Keegan standing outside with a bag in his hand.She could not help but laugh after seeing him.Keegan went inside and closed the door. Then, he gazed at Stella and asked, "What's so funny?"Stella crossed her arms and replied playfully, "Thank god Felicity can run fast. Otherwise, she'd be stuck in here with you.""Am I the kind

    Keegan replied flatly, "Aldor found out that Tammy had tricked Bella into signing some sort of transfer agreement, claiming to help her manage her assets. However, Tammy did not fulfill her promise and ran away with the funds. It was she who leaked the recording online. Maybe she's taking revenge on her."Bella was never an honest person, and she had been taking advantage of others and exploiting them in the entertainment industry. Tammy was the closest person to her and naturally became one of her victims.Not only that Tammy had not earned any money from Bella over the years, but she also had to endure Bella's reckless humiliations and insults.There was solid evidence that proved Bella's wrongdoings, leaving no room for suspicions. Tammy knew that Bella's glory days were over because there was no chance of turning the situation around, especially in a criminal case like this.So, she lied to Bella and told her that she could be released on bail, but it would require a huge amoun

    "Just ask her to stay with her boyfriend for now."Stella was speechless."Are you working together with Vermont? Is he just trying to get Felicity into his bed?"Keegan kept quiet.It was nothing like that at all. He simply got inspired by his grandmother's words.However, he could not think of another better idea than letting Vermont take the blame at that moment."No, Vermont is not that kind of person at all."Stella became even more convinced of her assumption upon hearing what Keegan said. "What a scum! He only started dating Felicity not long ago, and he already wants to do the deed with her!""I guess he just loves her too much," Keegan said."My foot!" Stella retorted, "He's been spending nights with Felicity these days. Felicity would have been his victim if I hadn't called her!""You're overthinking. Vermont wouldn't force Ms. Thompson if she is not willing to..." Keegan paused before he corrected himself. "Vermont can't force her into doing anything anyway. He's n

    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
