Chapter 1408

Author: Eleven Jewell
The Jewell family's affair had finally come to an end, and what followed was the sentencing.

Rainee's birthday happened to be around that time, too. Stella planned to go to the cemetery alone to celebrate Rainee's birthday quietly.

However, Keegan was already waiting outside when she was about to leave after getting ready. He dressed formally in a black suit without a tie, with a white flower tucked into its welt pocket.

His suit coincidentally matched Stella's black outfit and white hat.

He stretched his arm out and said softly, "Let me go with you."

"Aren't you afraid she might hate you for not kneeling during the funeral?" Stella asked.

Keegan nodded. "I am. That's why I want to make amends quickly and reassure her that I'll take good care of you."

Stella smiled.

Then, she held Keegan's hand and spoke gently. "My mom may be sharp-tongued, but she actually had a very soft heart. Just bring some of her favorite food and speak nicely to her. She'll forgive you."

    Stella's mouth formed a thin line.'Cunning face...'That description seems to suit you better, Trevor.'Stella sighed and said, "Trevor, I believe you can find someone better than him, but I won't like any of them."I can't deny that Keegan has his flaws. He could be mean, stubborn, and difficult to deal with, but he also has redeeming qualities. He would try to cheer me up whenever he made me angry. He wouldn't get mad at me even if I locked him out. He has never gotten physical with me. He doesn't force me to do anything I don't want to do, and if there's something I like, he buys it immediately without looking at the price. Also, even if I hit him when we argue, he would never raise his hand against me."Trevor retorted, "Not hitting you is literally the least he can do. How can that be considered a good quality?""Let me finish." Stella continued softly, "After divorce, many couples would speak ill of each other in the worst way possible, but Keegan has never said a bad word

    Stella nudged Keegan with her elbow. He got her message and said, "Trevor, let's have a meal together after this."Trevor put down the flower and stood back up. Then, he said, "It's fine. I have a meeting with someone later. By the end of this month, we'll host a banquet to celebrate Stella's return to our family and reveal her identity to the public. Take good care of her. If anything happens to her, you won't be invited."Keegan was taken aback and did not say anything in response.Trevor frowned. "What's wrong? Do you have a problem taking care of her? If so, I'll—""I don't!" Keegan recollected himself and immediately interrupted him. "I'll do everything in my power to take care of her."A faint smile appeared on Trevor's face. Then, he walked up to Keegan and said in a low voice, "There's still something between us that isn't settled yet."Keegan kept quiet.Stella hurriedly asked right after Trevor left, "What did my brother say to you just now?"Keegan thought about what

    Vermont's assistant said inwardly. 'You're sitting right here. Why should I answer it?'Vermont furrowed his brows after seeing how his assistant just stood there. "What are you waiting for? Come over here and answer it." He paused for a moment before adding, "You're going to get extra pay for this."Then, the assistant immediately went over and picked up the call.As soon as the call was connected, he heard Felicity's voice coming from the other end. "Stinky Cucumber! Do you know what time it is now? Why haven't you come back yet?"The assistant looked at Vermont.Vermont pointed at the sofa and gestured as if he was sleeping.The assistant understood and said, "Hello, I'm Mr. Snyder's assistant. Mr. Snyder worked overtime and has fallen asleep in his office."Vermont gave him a big thumbs up. Although the assistant could not compare to Aldor, he was pretty clever."He's asleep?" Felicity frowned. "When is he going to wake up then?"The assistant looked at Vermont again, and

    The experiment team was made up of all men, and they spoke without restraint."Did I hear that correctly? Did he just say virility soup?""Yeah, he did. I heard that too.""Wow. I thought I was the only one who needed that. It turns out that Mr. Kane is just another middle-aged man like us.""With how many hours we work overtime every day, I'd have a hard time getting it up even if Megan Fox is standing in front of me.""I suddenly feel like Mr. Kane is just a regular man now.""Aldor, who is the wife that the person mentioned on the phone? Is that Mr. Kane's new girlfriend?"Aldor replied flatly, "It's Mr. Kane's private matters. How would I know?""You're with him all the time. How could you not know?"The group clearly did not believe Aldor."If you're that curious, we should swap roles for a day. Try to spend one day with Mr. Kane, and maybe you'll find out," Aldor suggested.Everyone fell silent after hearing what Aldor said.While they had signed a confidentiality agr

    Keegan paused and chuckled mockingly. Then, he said, "You deserve it. You should've been honest from the beginning, yet you just had to come up with such a despicable lie."Vermont retorted, "Scumbag! How can you have the nerve to judge me? Your methods in pursuing Stella were far from honest!"What Keegan did was not entirely honorable.He was not any less of a schemer than Vermont. He knew that Stella was drugged and could not control herself, yet he still seduced her and took advantage of the situation.However, that was something that Keegan would never admit to Vermont. He replied flatly, "We both genuinely love each other."Vermont really wanted to mock him, but he figured he would still need Keegan's help, so he held himself back and said in a low voice, "Stop showing off. What should I do now?"Keegan thought for a moment and said, "How about finding an alternative medicine practitioner to get a prescription to lower your sex drive and neutralize the effects?"'That's me

    Vermont put on a fake smile. "You're too thoughtful. It's dangerous for a girl like you to come out so late at night."Felicity replied, "Don't worry, Stella dropped me off here. She went to send Keegan supper, too. She'll pick me up after she's done."Vermont was speechless. He gritted his teeth while continuing to fake his smile. "She's really helpful."Felicity said, "Stella treated me really well. She purposely consulted a doctor before helping me make this soup." She paused briefly before continuing, "She said that it significantly affects Keegan. You've been having it for a week now. Do you feel anything?"I've been wanting to ask you about it, but you'd run off every time you finish it, and I don't get a chance to do that at all. Stella said that something should be happening after a week of drinking it. Otherwise, she suggests we go to the hospital for a comprehensive checkup."Vermont said inwardly, 'You'll see it happening with your naked eye if I didn't run off.'"I'm

    "And you kept asking me to leave. Did you do something wrong?" Felicity thought of what Vermont did in the past and glared at him. "Are you hiding a woman in your office?"Vermont was speechless. "Am I that kind of person to you?""Why do you keep asking me to leave then?"Vermont was at a loss for words. 'I can't possibly tell her that I just don't want her to see my reaction, right?'So, he pursed his lips and said, "I really have work to do. Don't you know me well enough? Do you think I'd work overtime if it weren't urgent?"Felicity continued scrutinizing him and noticed that he did not seem to lie. So, she said, "Go ahead and work then. I'll just sit here quietly and won't disturb you."Having a clingy girlfriend could be a good thing, but that was not the case for Vermont at that moment."There's a bed inside the lounge here. You can rest in there.""I'm not tired."Vermont felt helpless. "Well, I'll go in to have a rest myself then. I'm tired."He stood up and was abou

    Keegan finished his soup and said, "The date for the banquet has been set. Has Trevor told you about it?"Stella replied, "Yes, he did. He told me not to worry about anything, and all I've got to do is show up on that day. However, I'm still a little nervous about it. Is there really nothing I have to do?"Keegan smiled. "Just prepare yourself mentally. I've had Aldor order a few gowns, which should be here soon. You can choose the one you like and let everyone see how beautiful the heiress of the Saun family is."Stella laughed. "How beautiful can I be? I just don't want to embarrass them. Everyone's attention will shift to Jaylene anyway once she appears."After spending some time in the industry, Stella learned how to read people well. Judging by their manners and etiquette, she could easily distinguish between fake and real socialites.Jaylene had the elegant aura that only a well-raised lady could possess. Although not exceptionally beautiful, her discerning demeanor set her

    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
