Maya was shaking with anger. Stella had been too kind and gentle for too long. Everyone thought she was a weak little bunny. But she was, in fact, a lion who was ready to bite back. 'How would I ever stand out from the crowd if I continue being an obedient bunny?' she thought.'So what if Dahlia sent her here? She's just a housemaid. Keegan doesn't even bat an eye at her. I'm bound to be the lady of this house if I can secure my place as Keegan's wife. She won't even be able to secure her job!'Maya was unhappy, but she did not dare to provoke Stella again. She had every right to fire her. Maya lowered her head and said in a hoarse voice, "My apologies, Madam. I won't do it again."Stella did not eat dinner that night. Instead, she went to her room and hit the sheets. Keegan's return was unclear to her, but she was alone in her bedroom when she woke up the next day. She asked Maya about it and found out he came home at around 11:00 p.m. last night. 'He must have spent the night in t
Stella did not answer Albert's calls. Finally, after more than an hour, Albert asked someone to remove the search entry, but a new one popped up after the old one was deleted. The trending searches on the matter were like a ticking time bomb; there was no way to suppress it.Albert paced back and forth when he thought of what would happen to him if he did not settle the problem. "Is she still not picking up?" Hylda put a cup of warm milk on the coffee table and asked. Albert frowned, shook his head, and said, "No, she's not."Hylda glanced at the time and said, "She should be awake by now. Is she not answering on purpose?""But she has no reason not to answer my calls.""Maybe she felt guilty and dared not pick up," Hylda snorted coldly. "I mean, you called and told her to ask Keegan to talk to Vermont yesterday. Don't you think it's too much of a coincidence that something like this happened today? 'Merchant gave Hermes bag as a gift.' He only gifted her the bag two to three days
All the words that came out of Stella's mouth were uttered seriously. Albert even began to wonder if he was overthinking it. Finally, after pondering for a moment, he whispered, "Didn't you see the headlines today?""What headlines?" Stella asked blankly. "I just woke up and saw that you called. I had no time to look at anything else. Why? What happened?""Mr. Anne's purchase of the platinum bracelet is on the news," Albert replied with a sullen face. "Isn't it normal for such an expensive piece of jewelry to make the news?" Stella did not seem to understand the severity of what was going on. "What's the problem?""How will Mr. Anne get a refund now that everyone knows about it?" Albert frowned. "Why don't you ask Keegan to talk to Mr. Snyder again? Ask him if it's possible to say that there was something wrong on the manufacturing side and that they need to take it back."'How could I possibly ask Keegan to do such a shameless thing? He never thinks about what it's like for me,' S
Albert heaved a sigh of relief, and his attitude toward Stella began to soften. "I'm sorry for making things difficult for you," he said softly."We're a family, dad. I'll do my best to help with anything I can, but I really can't do this. You could ask Mr. Anne to try and return it. Mr. Snyder had already agreed. I'm sure he'll keep his promise. Don't you think?""I'll think of another way. By the way, two boxes of oysters from New Zealand just arrived at my doorstep. I'll have someone deliver them for you and Keegan to enjoy later. So just be happy together, and I'll have one less thing to worry about."Thanks, dad."'Oysters for Keegan to enjoy? I'd rather feed it to the dogs!' Stella thought. Before she hung up, she added, "Oh, right. Dad, I persuaded Ms. Anne to think carefully about her purchase. But she was with Sophia that day, and you know girls... She gave her a few words of praise, and she was soaring through the air in no time. It would be fine if it were someone else,
Stella called Vermont before she arrived at his company.At that time, Keegan was sitting on the couch drinking tea in Vermont's office. Vermont lost a few rounds of a game. He was quite angry as he stared at the person who had an indifferent look sitting opposite of him, "You didn't go home after you finished work. You told me you had something to do when I asked you to go to the nightclub. And the thing that you wanted to do was sit in my office drinking tea for an hour?"Keegan faintly glanced at him, "You don't have anything else to do, too, do you? Continue playing your game."Vermont was speechless.He squinted as he said in a probing manner, "Are you still fighting with Stella?"Keegan stopped moving. He expressionlessly said, "No."Vermont was sure once Keegan denied it, "Seriously? It'd already been a few days. If you're unhappy, go home and talk to your wife. Why are you spending time with me and venting your anger on me? You have a wife, but I'm still single. I want to
Vermont coughed when he saw Keegan's ruthless look. He asked, "What I meant was, was she still a minor when you first met?"Keegan petulantly said, "Mind your own fucking business!"Vermont then spoke obscenely after Keegan, "I wanted to mind my fucking business too. How do I get the chance to do that if you don't leave?"His phone rang as he said that. He then glanced at it. He suddenly perked up when he saw it was Stella who had called him. He quickly put her on speaker before he accepted the call."Mr. Snyder, it's me."Keegan stopped moving as he abruptly looked over.Vermont smiled as he said, "Stella, is there something I can do for you?""Are you in your office?""I am. What's wrong?""It's nothing. I just need you to be there. I have a box of Newblaubia oysters with me now. I'll leave it at your company's front desk later. Remember to bring it back after work.""Newblaubia oysters?" Vermont glanced at Keegan, "It's not easy to get that. Keegan loves to eat those. Why
As soon as the car door was opened, Keegan went in too. He even sat in the front passenger seat.Stella did not like it. She frowned as she said, "Why did you get in?"Keegan put on the seatbelt. Then, he petulantly said, "If you can go with him., why can't I?"Vermont was afraid that they would argue again. So, he defended Keegan, "Keegan is going help me to look for girls. He has experience in looking for a wife."Stella was speechless.'He has that experience, my ass. But he had many two-timing experiences, though!'But Stella wanted to earn money. So, she just put her unhappiness aside and drove them to that singles party.Stella was asked to join this party out of a sudden. So, her outfit looked overly simply compared to the girls who dressed up very beautifully.She was in a ponytail, wearing a white tee shirt, blue jeans, and a pair of canvas shoes. She looked out of place beside the two men in suits and ties.Before they went into the venue, Vermont said to them, "I'll
"Not at all." Stella clearly did not say what she meant, "Why'd I be angry with you? That'd make me look so unappreciative. Mr. Kane, you've overthought."Keegan frowned, "Don't call me Mr. Kane! It's annoying."When Stella called him 'Mr. Kane,' she sounded like she was insulting him. It made him extremely uncomfortable."How should I address you then? Kee? Keegan?"Stella acted like she seriously pondered for a moment. She said, "Why don't you pick one?"Keegan stared at Stella, who put on an act. He hated it very much. "How did you address me back then?"Stella paused.She had called Keegan "honey" back then. Since he did not disapprove of it, she had always called him that. She began to wonder, 'When did I stop calling him that? I don't really remember it. Probably after I realized that he wouldn't like me no matter how hard I tried.' Stella then said, "It's just a form of address. You like being addressed as Mr. Kane back then, so I'll call you that in the future."Keega
