Chapter 1553

Author: Eleven Jewell
Keegan had been waiting in the car for Stella. As soon as she got in, she fumed, "How dare he strut around in front of me! I may not have caught him red-handed, but I'm not a fool!"

Keegan opened a water bottle and handed it to her. "Here. Take a sip and tell me what happened."

Stella took a few sips and cleared her throat before she said, "I know all this happened because of Chris! But, I don't have any concrete evidence that could link him to this incident. Otherwise, I would've fired him on the spot!"

Stella had noticed the financial assistant as soon as she joined the company. She was quite attractive and about the same age as Stella.

Stella had been busy with the new product launch recently and spent a lot of time in the store. She would run into the staff casually gossiping whenever she went to the break room or restroom.

From those conversations, Stella learned that the financial assistant had been specially recruited and had a close relationship with Chris. Some of them ha

    Back then, Keegan's memory was a blur after a few too many drinks. He could not recall what had happened. When he saw Stella in tears, he had no choice but to take her words at face value.Keegan was not one to offer apologies to smooth things over. Instead, he sent Aldor a snapshot of the Clivia and asked for his assistance in procuring a replacement that matched as closely as possible."Didn't you try transplanting it?" Aldor asked.Keegan replied, "I think I might've stepped on it. It didn't look salvageable."His words left Aldor at a loss for words. Aldor distinctly remembered that it was Stella who accidentally knocked over the plant. 'Since when did it become Mr. Kane's doing?'At that moment, he could not help but think that his boss was a little gullible. Keegan seemed to believe everything Stella told him.As Keegan reflected on bringing back the new plant, he recalled gauging Stella's reaction and noticing that she did not seem entirely pleased. So, in a misguided atte

    Felicity hurriedly finished buttoning up her clothes and opened the bathroom door in response to Vermont's knock. "What's up?" she asked."The grilled fish is getting cold. Come on out and eat," Vermont urged."Alright, I'm coming."Vermont was already seated at the dining table when Felicity emerged from the bathroom. He waved her over. "You took a while in there. Were you constipated or something?"Felicity was speechless. "You're quite the pest," she shot back, as she glared at him. "Other couples go on dates. They sip on coffee or wine and explore various places together. But, with you, all we do is eat, drink, and sleep.Vermont handed her some cutleries with a grin. "Those are the basics of life. Who spends their days in an RV with a glass of wine? Will you be drinking when we have children?"Felicity was feeling a little stifled. "Can't we have a bit more romance? I feel like you didn't really woo me. The more I think about it, the more I feel like I just settled with what

    Felicity wanted to retort, but she could not find a good reason to do so. 'I guess being rejected after a confession and pursuing someone else doesn't really harm anyone,' she thought.However, she still felt that something was a bit off. 'How could he shift his affection for someone to another person so quickly?'Felicity bit her lip and expressed her concern. "Did you really... like your ex-girlfriends?"Vermont sighed. "Do you really want to discuss this when we're spending time together?"Felicity did not say anything, but her expression showed her discontent.Vermont wrapped his arms around her waist and kissed her head. "I don't want to hide anything from you. I definitely had feelings for my exes. I wouldn't have dated them otherwise.""I grew up in the town with my grandpa. Even after I made money, I didn't have any grand aspirations. I thought treating your partner well was about sharing what I found enjoyable, but they didn't see it that way. I worked so hard to find af

    "I need to go out for a bit," Felicity declared.Vermont was surprised. "What? Why?"As Felicity hurried toward the bedroom to get changed, she explained, "My supervisor got ambushed. Turns out her boyfriend is a married man. A bunch of people showed up at her place and wrecked the whole house. I'm going to take her to the police."Vermont followed her with concern etched on his face. "Why didn't she just call the cops herself? It's already so late.""They shredded all her clothes. She's got nothing to wear now. She probably didn't want to call the cops and have them show up while she's in this state."Worried for her safety, Vermont said, "Let me come with you. What if those guys haven't left yet? It's not safe for you to go alone.""It's fine. Aren't you hungry? Go grab a bite. I'll be back in no time."As she spoke, she moved toward the entrance to put on her shoes. Vermont swiftly grabbed her wrist and pulled her back. "I know you can handle yourself, but can't you let me be

    "Scripts that don't turn a profit won't keep selling, no matter how many favors you owe. No one's in the industry for charity," Vermont factually stated.Felicity seemed to grasp the concept, but there was still a hint of confusion in her expression. She cut to the chase and asked, "Can you be more specific?"Vermont laughed and said, "The average price for an apartment in the neighborhood we just left is only slightly lower than Clouditude International. She's a screenwriter with an average family background and who hasn't written a blockbuster. How do you reckon she affords a place like that?"This caught Felicity off guard.Her supervisor's place was anything but small. It was around 4000 square feet, with an average price of over ten grand per square foot. It was a mansion worth nearly half a billion and definitely not within financial reach for a screenwriter like her superior."Why did security let those people in? Have you considered that perhaps the house is registered und

    "What did you say?" Felicity asked, as she did not catch Vermont's words."Nothing," Vermont replied and shut his mouth. 'Bringing up the lie at a time like this might only stir up more conflict. It's best to let it slide for now,' he thought.Vermont felt uneasy because he could not confess what he had done. He had little appetite for dinner that night.Felicity was also preoccupied with the matter and did not eat much. They were having fish. Normally, they would finish it, but not today.After dinner, they went out for a stroll. Upon returning, Vermont took a quick shower and headed straight to the bedroom.Meanwhile, Felicity still had to revise her scripts and said she would sleep a bit later.As Vermont was on the verge of dozing off, he felt a slight dip in the bed beside him. A faint smell of shower gel lingered in the air. While he was half asleep, he turned over and instinctively pulled the person into his arms.Felicity froze for a moment before gradually relaxing.Ve

    Vermont was taken aback when he heard Felicity's words. "Aren't I still looking for a cure with the doctors? Be more optimistic, baby."Felicity frowned. "How can I be optimistic? I really didn't feel a thing that night when we slept together," she said, looking at Vermont skeptically. "Have you had this condition for a long time? Or did you take advantage of me using the cupping technique and falsely accuse me of your erectile dysfunction?"Vermont could not believe his ears. He gritted his teeth and said, "I was perfectly normal, okay?" He paused and added, "There was nothing wrong with me when we had our first time."Felicity furrowed her brows. "Then, why do I have no memory of being pleasured at all? I bled that night, but why didn't I feel anything?"This left Vermont speechless. He was also wondering the same thing.Vermont did not have any recollection of that night either. He had way too much to drink on his birthday. The surveillance footage only showed the two of them e

    Stella could hear the sarcasm in Keegan's remark. She paused and suppressed a laugh. "It's been a long time since I watched his livestreams, okay?"Keegan let out a light snort and sat down beside her. "Must be because you've been too busy. You'd probably tune into his live streams if you had the time."Stella chuckled softly. "Oh, come on. I stopped watching his content because I didn't want you to get jealous. You were so salty the last time I watched him dance online. I wouldn't dare to do it again."Keegan scoffed at her attempt to defend herself. "He was swaying his hips and thrusting it. How is that considered dancing?"Stella clicked her tongue. "You're being narrow-minded. He has a great body. What's wrong with him showing it off?""Does that mean I can watch other women dance online?" asked Keegan.Stella turned serious in an instant. "The internet is a treacherous place. I don't think you can handle it."Keegan could not help but chuckle at her double standard. "How co

    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
