Chapter 1570

Author: Eleven Jewell
Keegan remained silent, as he debated with himself on whether to speak or not. He felt that Stella was good at this. 'Why did she have to get me involved in such an embarrassing situation?'

Keegan suppressed his irritation and reached out to gently support Stella. "Grandma, are you okay? Can you stand?" he asked. His tone was filled with genuine concern.

Stella responded with theatrical groans. "Oh, my goodness... it hurts so much..."

The crowd around them buzzed with commentary, drawing parallels to similar incidents they'd heard of. Some speculated on the authenticity of the pregnant woman's condition, while others pointed out the suspicious nature of the entire situation.

"Why would this old lady prick him with a needle? I can't believe he would say that just to evade responsibility."

"I think I've seen this pregnant woman before."

"There was news about a pregnant lady who got into an accident and demanded over ten thousand dollars for compensation. The police came, and she ar

    "Alright. Just keep an eye on him. Don't take any unnecessary risks. Otherwise, the consequences—" The man in the cap abruptly ended the call before the person on the other line could finish.He pulled out another cigarette, lit it, and squinted at Keegan's photo on his phone. The face was blurry, leaving only a faint resemblance.The person on the other end could not help but curse, "That fucking idiot!" He then dialed another number to report the situation. "Boss, this guy is unpredictable. I'm worried that things might go south.""He can't even remember someone's face. What kind of trouble could he possibly cause? Just keep a close eye on him," came the dismissive response.The man hesitated and spoke in a low voice. "Understood."Stella did not waste any time. The next day, she approached Vermont to discuss the possibility of opening a company together.Vermont was in his office, as he listened to the plan. Stella painted an optimistic picture of their potential collaboration

    Upon hearing this, Keegan promptly pulled Stella to her feet, "Let's go. We can do this thing ourselves. We don't need him.""Hey, hey, hey, aren't we still discussing this?" Vermont gritted his teeth, "Fine. We'll do 70-30. Ugh. You're so petty!"Vermont knew Leighton's commercial value was far greater than this small profit. He could clearly distinguish between the two.With the agreement settled, the two parties immediately began preparations.There was an available space at Green Hill Media for the live stream, and the processing could be done directly in Vermont's jewelry processing workshop.Early that morning, when Chris arrived at the store, he saw bags of jade and stone materials being moved out of the warehouse and loaded onto a truck. He frowned and quickly stopped one of the workers, "What are you doing? Who told you to move these?"The worker was sweating profusely and did not even have a chance to respond when Stella's voice came from behind, "I told them to move it

    There was no doubt that Stella's actions were deliberate. She had taken the time to investigate the prices of these gemstone scraps and knew that their raw materials were of high quality. The price for one bag of scraps was at least 200-300 thousand dollars higher than what Chris was selling them for.Naturally, Stella suspected Chris of taking a cut of the profit. She even sent someone specifically to the factory to gather information. However, the factory manager was tight-lipped. He insisted that every batch of material was different, so the prices varied. He would not even give a final quote until he saw the goods. The manager spoke in vague terms the whole time.As the jewelry store manager, Chris lived in a luxury villa worth over twenty million dollars in Rivera. His children attended prestigious schools; he even had spare money to support a mistress. All this couldn't possibly be sustained by his salary alone. His wife was a full-time homemaker, and their familial background

    "Let's see. Could it be five hundred thousand dollars?" Keegan asked.Stella bit her lip and shook her head. She then let go of Keegan's arm and held up ten fingers, "I made eight hundred thousand dollars!"Keegan chuckled and gently put two of her fingers down. "You held up two extra fingers," he said.Stella tugged at his tie, her voice soft but playful, "You have to admit that I'm quite impressive, right?"Eight hundred thousand dollars might not be much in Keegan's eyes, but it was enough to make Stella happy. So Keegan graciously said, "Yeah, very impressive. Otherwise, how could you have won me over?"Stella smiled dreamily, "If only you had been this good with words when we were still married, I would have birthed ten of your kids in a year!"Keegan found her funny. He knew she was drunk but still wanted to tease her, "Does that mean you'll have one kid per month and take two months off?"Stella leaned in close to his ear and whispered, "Yeah. Those two months are reserve

    Keegan's query left Stella taken aback.Having had a few drinks, her mind was not as sharp as usual. After a few seconds of contemplation, she hesitated before responding, "Maybe... he wasn't feeling well. When I went there that day, he looked pale and couldn't even stand properly. He had some water and took a moment to recover."Keegan furrowed, "Why didn't you mention this to me at the time?"Stella snorted, "You were giving me a hard time already. Who knows if you intentionally let Sophia in?"Keegan was baffled by her accusation. Annoyed, he said, "How could I have let her into the room in the state I was in? Why can't it be Marshall who let her in?""Don't be silly." Stella poked Keegan's forehead and said, "Mr. Moore wouldn't do that. Even if he did, I'd say he's quite the character. He took advantage of you being drunk and gave you a little bonus. What a good man."Keegan was at a loss for words, 'She must be playing a trick on me. How could she say something like that?' H

    Sophia worked as a copywriter at Ethan's new media company. Knowing that she was incredibly skilled at crafting articles that grabbed people's attention, Ethan took advantage of this to introduce new internet celebrities.A video of a drunk guy hitting on a girl and getting rejected went viral not long ago, propelling a figure known as HungryBaby into online stardom.This influencer was a recent success story from Ethan's company. She did not have any notable talents or wit. She claimed to be a mukbang expert, but the videos of her eating are often off-putting. That was when Ethan brought Sophia in to help strategize her videos.Truth to be told, Sophia had a keen understanding of trends online. She knew exactly what topics to focus on to draw in the crowd. Since HungryBaby lacked skills to talk about, Sophia decided to hone in on the most contentious issues of the day. These include wealth disparity and gender conflict.The video that went viral was a classic case of gender confli

    That slap was incredibly hard, leaving Sophia feeling dizzy.Just as the man was going to slap her again, she closed her eyes in despair.However, the second slap never landed. Instead, she heard a familiar voice saying, "Gentleman, I've recorded a video of you assaulting this lady. If you do it again, I'll submit this video to the police. Your face is captured, and I'm sure you'll be detained for a few days."The man gritted his teeth and said, "Mind your own business! She owes me money!"Aldor stopped speaking to the man and pretended as if he was about to call the police. Seeing that, the man immediately let go of Sophia and threatened her, "Just wait and see!"Then, he took the money from Sophia's wallet and threw it on the ground before leaving.Aldor picked up the wallet, dusted it off, and handed it back to Sophia."Ms. Jewell, do you have a moment?"A cold smile appeared on Sophia's face, "Why's that? Has someone ordered you to add insult to my injury?"Aldor replied w

    "It was..." Sophia paused and smirked. "Find me a place to stay and help me get rid of Ethan. Then, I'll tell you the rest."Aldor frowned, "You're giving me too little information. How can I be sure that you're not lying to me?""What happened that day was too strange, so I took a picture of the note," Sophia replied.She took out her phone and showed Aldor the picture as she spoke.The number "0713" was written on the note, and a room card was next to it. The date in the picture showed that it was taken on Vermont's birthday, so Aldor knew that Sophia was not lying.As Aldor was about to take a picture of that note, Sophia quickly put her phone away, "You do what I asked, and I'll send you the picture."Aldor frowned, "Weren't you worried it might be a trap? Why would you just go to the room without knowing anything?""Your trick is not going to work on me," Sophia said coldly. "If you want to know who gave it to me, do as I say."Aldor glanced at her and said in a deep voice

    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
