Sophia realized that money was more important to Albert than his children. 'He had callously watched me descend to this state without any concern. I have no reason to cling onto a nonexistent father-daughter bond.'Even though Sophia had made up her mind, she still did not trust Xenia entirely. "What's your motive behind all this? Why should I trust you?" she asked in a cold tone.Upon hearing this, Xenia sensed she had gained about eighty percent of Sophia's trust. She lowered her voice and said, "Well, wouldn't you like to know?"I'll hand over the evidence in exchange for a house and five million dollars. You can give them to me when you inherit Albert's assets. How does that sound?" she continued."Are you even worth that much?" Sophia sneered.Xenia smiled and said, "I overheard Albert say that the Jewell family company is valued at ten billion dollars. I'm sure it will still be worth at least one billion dollars with inflation. Plus, Albert has several other properties. I'm
The police frowned. They were merely responding to a reported incident and had not even begun the interrogation. Hence, they did not understand why Albert was so agitated. His reaction made him look even more suspicious."We'll conduct an investigation to find out whether you are involved in this case. Now, come with us to the station," said one of the officers.And so, Albert was escorted away by the authorities in a state of bewilderment.At the hospital, Stella watched intently, as the doctor carefully treated Xenia's wounds. The sutures on her neck were prominent."Cost is not an issue, doctor. Please make sure that there won't be any noticeable scars on her," Stella told the doctor in a hushed tone."Don't worry. Since the wound isn't too deep, it shouldn't leave any scars," the doctor reassured her."Even if it does, it's no big deal. It's not like I need to be on camera or something," Xenia commented."No one wants a scar on their neck," Stella countered.Xenia offered a
"I'm going to focus on my acting career. I want to win some major awards and become the highest-earning actress so that you won't have to lift a finger once we get remarried. You can relax at home, and I'll take care of everything," said Stella.Keegan was stunned to hear that. His lips twitched, as he said, "Is that what you wanted to tell me? That I should be a stay-at-home husband? Only you could say something so audacious!"Stella playfully pinched his cheek and said, "Well, I can't let you strut around and have people drool all over you. It's better if you stay at home.""I doubt you can support me with the amount of money you make," Keegan snorted.Stella blinked and said, "What? But you hardly spent a dime when we were still married. Look at the clothes I've bought you. My handbag alone probably costs more than your entire wardrobe."Her words left Keegan at a loss for words. "And, you have the audacity to say that out loud?"Stella could not help but laugh. "If you know t
"That happened several years ago, right? I'm not aware of her condition back then. But, based on her current state, there shouldn't be any major issues if she were to get pregnant, as long as she takes good care of herself during the pregnancy," said Luke.He paused and chuckled, "You shouldn't stress too much about the pregnancy. Unless your wife has a history of recurring miscarriages or underlying health issues, the likelihood of a miscarriage isn't high. According to the report, she is in good physical health, and her blood regulation has improved over the past few months. So, you might not need any contraceptives."Hearing that, Keegan breathed a sigh of relief. The weight that had been pressing down on him was finally lifted.Luke then prescribed some medicine for Stella and gave her a lot of advice while Keegan eagerly memorized and wrote down every word he said.On the other hand, Stella did not pay much attention to what the doctor was saying. Instead, she was highly focus
Stella expressed her gratitude profusely. She could easily share the prescription with Felicity if she asked for it. This also meant that she could stay in the loop.As Stella was leaving, another thought occurred to her. She decided to ask Luke about it. "Dr. Quinn, is it considered a medical issue if a person struggles to perform well during sex after consuming alcohol?"Luke was shocked to hear her question. He chuckled and said, "Well, for most people, it's perfectly normal not to perform well when heavily intoxicated. In fact, if someone is able to perform under those circumstances, it usually means they aren't actually all that drunk."Stella sighed in relief after confirming that it was not a grave concern.Keegan had been waiting for a considerable amount of time when Stella emerged from the consultation room. "Did you get your questions answered?" he inquired.Stella nodded."What did you ask?""Curiosity killed the cat, you know?" said Stella.Keegan looked at her mom
"I've prescribed a few dietary supplements for you to try out. Come see me again if you don't find any improvement in your condition. I'll tailor the treatment accordingly," Luke said to Keegan.He then considered Stella's concerns and added, "This condition isn't a big deal. Many people experience it, especially with the high levels of stress nowadays. There's no need to be ashamed. Seek help early, and you'll be holding your little one in your arms soon."Keegan's expression became ugly. He gritted his teeth and said, "Thank you for the advice, doctor."Aldor clutched onto the steering wheel as his eyes looked straight ahead. Keegan's appearance was too scary at the moment.'Mr. Kane is in good health. That means that the prescription Mrs. Kane got was not for him. Why would she request such medication on his behalf?' thought Aldor, stealing a glance at his boss before quickly averting his gaze. 'He looks furious. I hope nothing serious happens to Mrs. Kane.'Meanwhile, Stella w
Nicole could not stop glancing in Stella's direction as she touched up her makeup. Seeing Stella quickly regain her composure, she murmured, "Not bad."Lindy immediately stepped in front of her and blocked her view of Stella. "Focus on your acting. Don't let your heart wander!" She warned.Nicole was stunned to hear that. "I'm not interested in her, okay?" Nicole shot her manager a glance and said. "I'm just a bit surprised she managed to keep up with me."With all the rumors circulating, she had genuinely believed that Keegan had married some random eye candy. Though, it seemed that he had found a hidden gem.Just as Nicole was thinking about this, Leighton suddenly walked by her, and she extended her leg subtly. As expected, Leighton tripped over it and almost fell flat on his face."Hahaha..." Nicole burst out laughing.Once Leighton steadied himself, he glared at Nicole, his face dark. "Why the hell did you do that?" He asked.Nicole innocently shrugged. "It's not my fault y
Stella was in an apron, with a spoon in one hand and her phone in the other. Her eyes were fixed on the screen, completely unaware of the person behind her.The pot on the stove bubbled and simmered, its aroma filling the kitchen.'I can't believe she's cooking up a soup for the erectile dysfunction I clearly do not have! Was she planning to prepare and deliver it to someone?' thought Keegan as he approached Stella. He held his breath and gently wrapped his arm around her waist. "What are you cooking?" He rested his chin on her shoulder and inquired in a deep voice.Stella was startled, but she relaxed upon recognizing his voice. Initially, she had planned to give Felicity the medicinal recipe directly. However, Stella realized she did not have an answer for how effective the remedy was. So, she decided to prepare a batch for Keegan to try first. This way, she could gauge and relay his reaction to Felicity later."Dr. Quinn gave me the recipe for a nourishing soup that helps replen
