Stella could not help but laugh when she heard what Estelle had said. 'No wonder they call her Tiger. It seems like she's ready to bite at any moment,' she thought.

Although Stella had failed to uncover the identity of the female lead, she decided to stay and rehearse lines with Leighton.

Despite not attending acting school, Leighton's talent and genuine passion for the art shone through. He would throw himself into his roles every time he performed his scenes.

Stella would offer him a few pointers even though she felt somewhat unqualified to be an acting coach. At the same time, Leighton was a fast learner. He would listen to Stella's suggestions and implement them into his performance.

Estelle was left in awe after watching them rehearse one of the scenes. "With a bit more effort, you might even snag an award this year," she said as she saw Leighton's potential in acting.

He had risen to fame through an idol talent show. Considering the current state of the entertainment industr

    Leighton's face darkened as he stared at Nicole. "I didn't quit because I can't handle the role. I quit because I don't want to act with you as my partner.""You said the same thing last time, yet you couldn't even nail a simple kissing scene. You kept bumping into my teeth. It's been two years since then. Have you finally figured out how to handle kissing scenes?" Nicole asked with a smile.Stella was shocked to hear that she said that in front of everyone. Leighton seemed to take Nicole's words to heart, and his expression grew even more unpleasant.Leighton was a top-tier idol, and Nicole was the youngest three-time award-winning actress. Both of them had high national recognition. No one dared to intervene in their conversation. Rather, they were glad to not be involved in the drama.Estelle was terrified when she noticed that Leighton was on the verge of exploding. Stella gently tugged at his arm and whispered, "Don't be rash. You've portrayed this role brilliantly. Are you su

    "Well, maybe you should leave it at home then," Stella suggested, referring to the engagement ring."No! You gave me this engagement ring! I'm not going to just leave it at home," said Keegan.Stella paused and said, "So, what do you suggest?"After considering Carter's advice, Keegan cleared his throat and proposed, "Since diamond rings are more durable, shall we consider getting a pair of diamond rings?""But diamonds are expensive, and they don't hold value," said Stella.Keegan was a little annoyed. "It's not like I'm planning to sell them.""But what if you don't get ahold of Vinci Rivera and go bankrupt?" Stella countered.Keegan's lips twitched upon hearing that, "Can't you have more faith in me?""I'm just being practical. Sure, we can get a pair of diamond rings if you want. But my income is limited right now, and I can't afford to buy you the best one," Stella chuckled.Aldor, who was listening to the conversation, had expected Stella to reject the idea wholeheartedl

    Hylda froze when she heard the housekeeper's words. "Wh-What did you just say?" she asked anxiously.The housekeeper, who did not reside in Hylda's place, had to return home late at night. She was concerned about the killer on the loose since the area where the suitcase murder had occurred happened to be very close to her residence. Though she pretended to be brave, her fears were genuine.Over the past few days, the housekeeper had been closely following various sources for updates on the case. She hoped more than anyone that the police would apprehend the killer soon so she could feel safe during her daily commutes.Early that morning, the housekeeper read a message in one of her group chats about how the police had sealed off a section of Cornelia Avenue. It seemed they had found crucial evidence related to the suitcase murder case. Some rumors suggested it was the victim's phone, while others claimed it was the murder weapon.Hylda's face turned even paler when she heard the me

    Hylda's face turned sour. "Haven't I been by your side, working hard and contributing to our family all these years, Albert? Didn't I have Ian assist you behind the scenes when you took on the Northon project? Thanks to me, you nearly earned a hundred million dollars from your shares in Semiconductor Technology. I didn't even ask for an equal share of our assets. I'm only asking for fifty million dollars from you. Is that too much?"You invested eight million dollars in Semiconductor Technology, and Ian lent you another million. It's been over half a year, and we still haven't seen any returns. Shouldn't you be repaying the capital?"Semiconductor Technology was a sore topic for Albert. His face turned ugly the moment she mentioned it. "You sure have the nerve to talk, huh? Do you know how much effort and money I invested when Ian got involved with the Moore family? Despite not gaining any benefits when he married Irene, I never asked him for anything!"And you! Don't forget the foo

    Hylda cut Albert off abruptly and said, "Don't you think it's disgusting to say all these things now? Whether you choose to marry her or not is your business. I've already decided on the divorce and made myself clear about the money. I'm giving you one day to transfer it to my account, and that's that."Without waiting for Albert to respond, Hylda ended the call.Meanwhile, Albert was so furious he wanted to throw his phone against the wall. Xenia, who was visibly pregnant, emerged from the bedroom and went up behind him. Seeing Albert in distress, she asked, "Is everything alright, Mr. Jewell?"Albert quickly regained his composure and assisted her in sitting down. "Didn't you say you were unwell? Why are you up?""I woke up and didn't see you in the room. I got a bit scared, so I thought I'd come out and check," Xenia said softly. Then, she continued, "Who did you talk to on the phone? Why do you look so angry?"Albert did not want to delve into the issue, so he said, "Oh, it's

    The police had discovered new evidence in the murder case.A homeless woman had found Walter's wallet and called Lena. This woman's son had died on the job, and an autopsy was conducted to investigate the cause. Lena was the forensic examiner involved in the autopsy at that time. It turned out that the woman's son had died from cardiac arrest during work hours. With this cause of death being overworking, the family was able to claim some compensation. Since Lena had helped them considerably, the woman had kept Lena's phone number in her contacts all this while.Therefore, when she found the evidence, she reported it to Lena instead of the police. Lena was unsure if the woman's story was true, so she visited the scene to confirm whether the items belonged to Walter. Once it was verified, she immediately contacted her colleagues, and the police arrived promptly to secure the area for evidence collection.The authorities took Walter's shattered phone to the tech department to recover i

    Carter fiddled with the motherboard for a while and then looked up confidently. "I believe I can recover this," he said.Lena was elated. "How long do you think it will take?""About an hour, give or take," Carter replied.Upon hearing this, Benjamin could not contain his skepticism. "An hour? You're quite confident, aren't you? Even our top tech expert, Mr. Everhart, wouldn't dare claim he can recover data in an hour. You must be joking."Malcolm Everhart was the renowned tech expert who had been temporarily reassigned to another bureau to aid in a different case.Benjamin was the second most skilled technician in the department after him. However, with Malcolm overseeing everything, he had limited opportunities to prove himself.When the murder case came up, Benjamin thought it was finally his moment to shine. But unexpectedly, Lena brought in an outsider, who confidently claimed he could do it in an hour.'This young man appears to be inexperienced and naive. What is he think

    Realizing that Carter was truly a genius, Benjamin's face flushed red. He found himself at a loss for words.Carter flashed a smile and said, "Are you interested in learning now?"Benjamin instinctively nodded."Apologize to my wife, and I'll teach you," Carter continued.Benjamin hesitated to do as he was told.Lena then quickly pulled her husband away.Carter was disgruntled. "What? You're kicking me out after the job's done?""You can't look at the data. They're confidential," Lena said in a low voice. She glanced around to ensure no one was eavesdropping, then leaned in and gave Carter a peck on the corner of his lips. "Thank you for your hard work. Go home and rest for now. I'll try to come home early today, and we can have dinner together."Carter froze for a moment and pulled her into his arms. He lowered his head and deepened the kiss. After some time, Lena was red and breathless. Only then did he release her. "I'll be waiting for you," he said in a husky voice."Okay,

    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
