Chapter 1544

Author: Eleven Jewell
"Do you think Barbara earned her reputation on her own? I heard she was the head of the design team at The Velvet before she left. With that kind of authority, who would dare to question her actions? Just look at the jewelry she designed for Kayla. It lacks creativity. It's just a jumble of tacky elements," said someone from the crowd.

"I find Chad to be the most shameless one in this scenario. When Maggie was plagiarized in Grandeur Gallery and exposed the culprit, he blacklisted her. Now that she left them and joined a new company, she still gets plagiarized by his associates. Did Maggie kill someone in her past life or something? Why do they keep targeting her?"

"Birds of a feather flock together. None of them are good people."

"The integration of the logo is rather smart. Maggie sure is something special. Are these pendants only for old clients? What about potential new clients?"

"I want one too."

Barbara's expression turned ashen. She could not fathom why Maggie had not broug

    "I-I let my emotions get the better of me. I didn't think it through. And, Barbara manipulated me. She's the one who plagiarized Maggie's work. If you want to hold someone accountable, she's the one."Chad shifted the blame onto Barbara, trying to distance himself.Stella did not believe his nonsense. She knew that Barbara would not act brazenly if no one backed her up behind the scenes.Barbara grew anxious before Stella could say anything. "Mr. Benson, I came here at your request. Why are you pushing everything on me?"'What a fool! Does she think that her previous outburst wasn't enough?' Chad's voice was stern. "What do you mean you came at my request? Don't be silly. When you gave me the design, you told me it was your original work. That's why I put my position on the line and help you fight for your rights. But, it turns out that you have deceived me. I literally said so many good things about you to the boss earlier. Now, you need to go back and explain everything to him yo

    "Guys, that piece is made of alloy, and the jade on it is just leftover scraps. It's so thin that the raw materials probably cost only a few hundred bucks. This is just a marketing strategy to entice people into spending. What's there to brag about?" Someone from the crowd said."Well, someone's bitter. We have to factor in labor costs. Sure, this thing isn't worth much, but they're giving away thousands of it for free. It still costs over a million dollars. And besides, it's not like they're forcing you to buy from them. There's no need to be so petty.""Cartier uses alloy material too. Why didn't anyone think that was cheap? The Velvet is considered high-end jewelry in Hustuabourg with its impeccable quality. Why does everyone put foreign brands on a pedestal but quick to criticize a local brand?""Exactly. Why not donate a million dollars to show your wealth if you think it's too little?"The person's face turned ashen. He was unable to utter a single word in response to the peo

    'Keegan had completed his postgraduate studies. Even though he didn't pursue a Ph.D., he did spend a year studying abroad at a prestigious institution... It's true that Keegan lacks conversational skills. But, even so, his tongue can be quite sharp. As for kind-hearted?'Stella pondered for a moment. Before she officially met Keegan, Wenham had visited their home under the pretext of seeing Luna. There, he encountered Keegan, who managed to keep Wenham standing for a solid twenty minutes with a slant board.'Well, being kind-hearted isn't exactly Keegan's strong suit.'Stella struggled to find any strong arguments in his favor considering these aspects.Wenham's friend could not help but wonder, "With all these points against him, why did you agree to let your child date him?"Wenham waved a hand dismissively. "It's not like he doesn't have any merits. He's reasonably good-looking and on par with Trevor. He runs a successful chip-making company, which is no small feat. While he's

    Keegan gritted his teeth and said, "Did Uncle Wenham say that, or you?"Stella held onto his arm and whispered."Of course it's him who said that. I'm crazy about you. Why would I make up something like that?"Keegan was a bit dazed by her words. He bit his lip and asked, "Does Uncle Wenham really think that of me?""Yeah. And, he's got a point, you know? I couldn't even find a way to defend you. He also said that his calf is still trembling because of your little prank," she explained.Suddenly, Keegan recalled his unkind actions. He almost instantly trusted Stella's words. He frowned and said, "I thought he was there as a matchmaker for Trevor. I just wanted to get some information from him. I'll find an expert later to give Uncle Wenham a proper evaluation of his legs."Vermont could not believe what he was hearing. 'What is Keegan thinking? How could he fall for such a crude lie? Is his intelligence slipping due to his age?'Thinking of that, Vermont said, "Keegan, I have a

    Vermont's words left Felicity stunned. "That's how I usually sleep," she said and defended herself."Oh, really?" Vermont did not believe her. "I remember you answering the door without a bra on when you didn't live with me. How do you explain wearing one to bed now that we're together? Are you putting up your guard against me? I can't even get a boner. What in the world can I do to you?""I-I'm not guarding against you," Felicity denied stubbornly. "I wear a bra because... because I read online that sleeping with a bra on prevents your boobs from sagging and spreading apart. Why would you think that I'm putting my guard up?"Vermont stole a glance at her chest and said, "Can't you just put it on after you've stimulated me?"Felicity blushed. "You don't even get a reaction when you watch explicit videos. How can I possibly help you?""I feel stuff when I lie in bed with you. Plus, the doctor suggested you to do it."Even though their voices were very low, Stella was sitting next

    Vermont had assumed that Corbin was the biggest hurdle in his relationship with Felicity. However, little did he know that her resentful best friend was the real impediment.He knew his lies would be exposed if he consulted Luke. He tried looking for a way to dissuade his eager girlfriend from actively seeking medical attention for him. "Baby, we just consulted a doctor a few days ago. Let's finish one course of treatment to see the results before deciding if we should consult Dr. Quinn. Each doctor has their own approach, and I can't follow both. What if their methods conflict with each other? It might worsen my condition."Felicity hesitated upon hearing this."Dr. Quinn will be around for a while. Seeing him a few days later won't hurt," Stella casually added.Vermont wanted to shut Stella's mouth right then and there. He found her to be just as annoying as Keegan.Completely unaware of the turmoil beneath the surface, Felicity happily said, "Alright, let's finish this course o

    The fact of Barbara's plagiarism was undeniable. However, she remained tight-lipped about how she obtained the design drafts. In other words, she refused to confess.The person in charge of Grandeur Gallery had also arrived at the scene. They claimed to have no knowledge of Chad's actions and declared that it was his personal endeavor. Nevertheless, they stated that they would appropriately compensate for any losses caused to The Velvet due to Chad's behavior since he was their employee.Barbara's file had not even been registered yet. She had not signed any contract with Grandeur Gallery, which meant that she was not officially their employee and, therefore, not under their jurisdiction.Barbara was ready to argue with the head upon hearing this. She accused them of colluding to deceive her. If it were not for the police's intervention, she might have gotten into a brawl with the person in charge.Grandeur Gallery distanced itself completely from the situation. Consequently, the m

    The change in Stella's revenge tactics was all thanks to Keegan. He acted as her legal expert and educated her daily.Stella used to think that Keegan had a bad temper, but he was actually just stubborn. Deep down, he was a kind-hearted person. As for Stella, she held onto grudges, and she wanted to settle every score. This demonstrated the importance of having a partner with stable emotions and aligned values.Of course, there was so much more about Keegan that Stella had learned from. For instance, she imitated his calm and authoritative demeanor to assert dominance.Chris was clearly intimidated by her. His face turned green, as he bit his lips. "You're right, Ms. Hall. I'm sorry for being too soft-hearted."Darcie watched Stella and the others leave in the police car. She thought about the situation and turned to Wenham. "Honey, Aubrey called and said something came up at the company. I have to attend to it."Wenham nodded. "I'll have the driver take you.""It's okay. I can t

    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
