Chapter 1415

Author: Eleven Jewell
"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

    The group of wealthy wives were gossiping in their group chat:[Isn't Jaylene the Saun family's daughter? When did they discover they had another daughter?][Someone is a bit behind on the news. Jaylene is actually the child of Darcie and her ex-husband. It's true that she grew up in the Saun family, but she's not Wenham's biological kid.][Wait. Wenham had a daughter with another woman while he was with Darcie?][No. He's not Albert, you know. Wenham's ex-wife gave birth to the girl. She's a full-blooded Saun. She shares the same mother as Trevor.][So she's Freesia's child?][Yep.][But I heard Freesia had a difficult childbirth and didn't make it.][I heard that, too. They said the child didn't survive. Did the Saun family make a mistake?][I don't think so. They've already arranged a banquet to announce the return of their long-lost daughter. I doubt a prestigious family would make a mistake on something like this.][I've heard some rumors that she's the child Freesia gav

    Olivia paused momentarily and said, "The Saun family raised Jaylene from a young age. I'm sure they're not going to treat her poorly even if they've reunited with their biological daughter. So don't worry. They won't hinder you from your dreams of having Jaylene as your daughter-in-law."Dahlia's eyelid twitched at the sound of that. 'Why would I go for Jaylene if the true heiress of the Saun family had returned? The Sauns are the perfect in-laws for our family. Keegan should marry the real heiress instead.'Despite thinking that, Dahlia was not invited to the banquet because the Kane family disowned her. Therefore, she did not have the chance to see who the true heiress of the Saun family was."Olivia, did you receive an invitation to the celebration?""Though I really want to attend the party, I don't have much connection with the Saun family. So, no. I did not receive an invitation. Maybe you should ask Mrs. Kane Sr. She has a good relationship with both the Sauns and the Halls.

    Olivia was as quick-witted as ever. She immediately connected the dots and asked, "You're the Saun family's long-lost daughter?""It seems that everyone acknowledges that I am as beautiful as a celestial being," Stella responded.'How shameless,' Olivia smiled wryly and said to herself. As she thought about Stella's face, she remembered seeing Trevor from previous events, and it suddenly clicked. 'No wonder he looked oddly familiar; they have the same features.'Olivia did not believe that Rainee had cheated on Albert. Despite not interacting much with her, she knew Rainee was a force to be reckoned with. 'She literally gathered evidence about her husband's affair and filed for divorce. I don't think someone like that would betray her marriage.'So, she almost instantly accepted the new narrative when she found out that Stella was not Rainee's daughter.She then recalled Dahlia's eagerness to latch onto the true heiress of the Saun family and burst into laughter.Dahlia had been

    Stella fell silent when she realized that Darcie and Jaylene were the ones with the most to lose from her return. Though her suspicions might be unfounded, the mother-daughter duo might not be as welcoming as they appeared.During the dinner, Darcie had shown genuine warmth, and Jaylene had been polite. The meal had been harmonious. As the conversation shifted to the choice of venue, Darcie had been thoughtful by providing Stella with several options."Stella, I've personally visited these hotels, and each of them has a unique style. While we want the banquet to be grand, your comfort is our priority. Take a look and choose the one you prefer."Stella casually flipped through the options and noticed Olivia's hotel among them. So, she made her selection.At the time, she did not think much about it. But later, when Trevor drove her home, he revisited the topic. He suggested the event be held at either Dragon Lake, which had the best outdoor scenery, or Emperor Suite, the highest-rat

    Keegan had arrived at the location earlier than expected. As Stella entered, she found him seated on the sofa, flipping through fashion magazines in boredom. Upon hearing her footsteps, he looked up, rose, and took her hand.Stella had rushed over from the set, so she just dressed lightly. Her hands were cold from the air. Keegan casually tucked her hand into his pocket and whispered, "Didn't you turn on the heater in the car?""Well, it was just a ten-minute drive," Stella chuckled.Hearing that, Keegan removed his coat and draped it over her shoulders. They were snuggling close to each other when a familiar voice sounded nearby."The banquet is for Stella, not me. Why should I bother picking out a dress? I don't want to outshine her.""Relax. You're not going to outshine her."Vermont slung his arm around Felicity's shoulders and said, "There will be quite a few people from the wealthy circle tomorrow. I previously mentioned I was off the market, but they didn't believe me. I h

    Coco had made significant progress in her recovery over the past month."I'm completely fine," the determined little girl declared."Is that so?" Keegan responded calmly. "Then head to the field, run a couple of laps, and ask your caretaker to record a video. After that, grab a jump rope and jump 200 times. If you're not too out of breath, I'll come pick you up."Coco could not believe what she was hearing. "Do you treat Aunt Stella like this, too?" she asked.Keegan chuckled, "Of course not. I like her too much to see her get tired.""Don't you like me?""Not really," Keegan joked.Coco was frustrated. "Then why do you care about me if you don't like me?"Keegan sighed, "Don't throw a tantrum, Coco. Just take your medicine. The sooner you get better, the sooner I can pick you up.""Will you adopt me?" Coco pouted and asked in a soft voice."No. You have your own family.""But why aren't they here to take care of me?""They..." Keegan paused and lowered his voice. "They're

    Vermont trailed behind Felicity and Stella as they browsed through the dresses. After trying on over a dozen options, Felicity finally settled on one she was satisfied with. She put it on and eagerly approached Vermont for his appraisal."What do you think, Stinky Cucumber? Does it look good?" she asked with a playful grin.Vermont was just about to nod in approval when he noticed the back of the dress was almost entirely open as she twirled around. He immediately changed his tone and said, "Hmm, I'm not quite sold on it. It makes your legs appear shorter."Felicity's lips twitched, and she shot him a determined look. "It's because I'm not wearing high heels right now. Once I put them on, it'll be perfect.""Can you even walk in high heels? You wouldn't want to trip before we get to the venue, would you? You should probably consider changing into something else," Vermont advised."You're such a buzzkill! You clearly have no sense of fashion. Stella even said that I'd turn heads in

    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
