Only when Aldor called out to Stella did Keegan notice Stella.She stood there emotionless, casting a glance at the headband in Keegan's hand and then at Keegan himself.Tightening his grip on the headband, Keegan pursed his lips and approached her. "What are you doing here?" he asked.Stella said nonchalantly, "Don't worry. I'm not stalking you." She held up the test reports she was carrying and said, "Your mother asked me to come here for a medical check-up."Keegan's expression changed upon hearing that. His eyes narrowed in a frown. "She's here with you?""Yes," Stella answered.Keegan kept furrowing his brows. His strange reaction did not go unnoticed by Stella, but she was not in the mood to decipher it. The mere sight of Keegan at the hospital so early in the morning had already put a damper on her mood.'Who else could it be in the hospital that is important enough to make Keegan rush to the hospital at six in the morning and hold a headband?' She sneered inwardly, think
In the video, the drunken woman lowered her head and planted a kiss on the man's lips. She then attempted to remove the man's clothing, but her efforts were in vain after a lengthy struggle. Finally, turning her attention to herself, she easily removed her bathrobe. Once the belt was loosened, the bathrobe slid off her shoulders.At this moment, the man quickly intervened by raising his hand and grabbing the phone, causing the screen to shake before the video abruptly ended momentarily.The bold woman in the video was no other than Stella Jewell, who had forced a kiss on Keegan.Stella's eyes widened. She tried to grab Keegan's phone, but he was quick and dodged her attempt. Then, holding his phone high, he smirked and asked with an indifferent gaze, "Trying to destroy the evidence?"Fury filled Stella's face as she spat, "How dare you take advantage of me, Keegan Kane?! You filmed me while I was drunk. How could you be so shameless?"Keegan laughed at Stella's attempt to twist th
Dahlia scowled, "Am I conservative now? Come on! There's a limit even to having fun. There are tons of eyes on the Kane family. When she acts inappropriately, and it gets around, we'll be plagued by rumors every day. People will think this is what the Kane family is all about!"Keegan's head ached while he was listening to Dahlia's nagging. He turned to Stella and said, "Get me some water."Stella handed Keegan the water she had just bought. He grabbed the bottle, unscrewed the cap, and took a couple of gulps. Dahlia noticed his pale complexion and stopped her rant. Instead, she asked, "What brings you to the hospital so early in the morning?""I'm here to visit a friend," Keegan answered briefly. He then asked, "Why did you bring Stella here for a check-up? Wasn't she just checked two months ago?"Dahlia composed herself when the topic shifted. "It's just a routine check-up. She's been taking that fertility drink for a while now. I just want to see if it had any effect. Mrs. Valle
Keegan looked at her confusedly.Then, Stella took her wallet out of her bag and said flatly, "However, I'm not as heartless as you. Even though I'm the reason you were hurt, it was you who provoked me first. So, I'll pay for your medical bills. However, there's nothing else I can do if you think it's not enough. This is everything I can afford to pay you before the divorce."After that, she handed him a signed check. Keegan looked at it and saw twenty thousand written on it.Keegan's face turned ugly as he tore the check in half. "Stella Jewell, cut it off!"Stella looked at the torn check on the floor and said calmly, "I'll just take it as you accepted it. As for the divorce, I hope you can settle everything as soon as possible. I don't think I can hide that I'm infertile from you any longer."Stella's shoulders dropped dispiritedly as soon as she left the hospital.She felt so awful because nothing went her way at all.She knew that she had done something wrong. Clearly, she
The look on Albert's face turned ugly. "Mr. Anne, I have no idea that this took place. I'll ask my daughter about it. I'm sure that it's just a misunderstanding.""Misunderstanding? What could it be? My daughter explicitly told me that Sophia instigated her to do it. I'll give you two options now. Think of a way to return the bangle or pay me back the money! Otherwise, you'll be in big trouble!"Then, Henry hung up the phone.Albert's face darkened as he put down his phone. Then, he lifted his head and asked Sophia, "What happened? A bangle that cost thirty million?"Sophia cursed inwardly at Xianna before telling Albert about what had happened that day.Obviously, she omitted the part where she hinted to Xianna to buy that bangle.Then, she said pitifully, "I admit that I wasn't thoughtful enough. I shouldn't have followed Ms. Anne into the shop when I knew that Stella didn't like me. That shop belongs to Mr. Snyder, and he's a very good friend of Stella's husband. Mr. Anne did
"No, I'm not. However, I have something to ask you."'What is this about?' Stella thought to herself."Stella, are you close with Mr. Snyder?""No," Stella said instantly without hesitating.She was not lying when she said that. But, more specifically, she was not close with anyone in Keegan's social circle.That was because Keegan rarely brought her to meet his friends. Perhaps he only did that because he knew their marriage would not last, so he did not want to spend too much effort to let her blend in.'Why would he suddenly be interested in Vermont?'Stella knew the answer to that very soon after.Albert said, "Sophia told me she met you when she was shopping in a jewelry store with her friend yesterday."Stella squinted and said flatly, "Yeah, she did. What about it?""You know her friend spent thirty million on a bangle, too, right?""Yeah." Stella said before she said sarcastically, "Ms. Anne has excellent taste. I heard that the bangle was the best one that the shop
"Hello, who's calling?"Stella heard Vermont's serious voice through the phone. He did not sound as flirtatious as he usually would.Stella wondered, "I thought he had my number, no?'Did he not save it?'She quickly responded without dwelling on that thought, "I'm Stella."Vermont was surprised as he said, "Oh, it's you. How may I assist you?"Stella became a little awkward after hearing how straightforward Vermont was. However, she knew she had no time to waste as she got straight to the point, "There's something I hope you could help me with."Vermont laughed. "Are you sure? Keegan is so much more capable than me."He implied that Stella should have asked for her husband's help instead.Stella responded without trying to hide anything, "We're fighting, and I don't really feel like talking to him. Besides, you're the only person who can help me with this."Vermont got curious. "Fighting? Because of what? Tell me more about it."Stella was at a loss for words.She just cou
Stella wanted him to widely advertise the sale and let every person in the upper-class society know about it.Henry was a person that cared about what other people would think of him very much. He would never want them to laugh at him for returning the bangle.'This is unbelievable. Stella's plan is just perfect. Albert would stop pestering her if Henry gave up the idea of returning the bangle himself. Even I've never done such an evil thing before!'After not hearing any response from Vermont, Stella asked tentatively, "What do you think?""Stella, did you major in public relations?"Stella did not know what to say."I was in the theater department."Vermont licked his lips. "In my opinion, you should've ventured into public relations. I would spend a fortune just to hire you."Stella took it as a joke. "So, what's your thought on this?""It's wonderful. The manager talked to me about the marketing campaign a few days ago, and I think this is a very good opportunity to promot
