Darcie chuckled. She played the role of an affectionate elder and gently adjusted a strand of Kayla's hair, "You always know how to make me laugh, my dear."Kayla quipped back, "I'm serious. My mom always questions how you look younger than her when both of you are similar in age. She's practically green with envy."Darcie glanced at Stella, whose expression remained cool and detached. Her smile deepened. After a bit of small talk, she finally asked, "Are you here for something?"Kayla could not resist venting, "It's those jewelry pieces I ordered earlier. The designer did such a horrid job. My dad could not stop laughing when I showed it to him. He asked me why I was wearing a rooster around my neck. It really got under my skin."Her friends around her burst into laughter, "Mr. Wilson sure has a sense of humor!""Why not return it?""Custom-made jewelry usually can't be returned unless there's a quality issue, right?""That's so unfair! Kayla paid so much money for the jewelry,

Darcie's smile dropped at the sound of Kayla wanting Stella to be her image consultant. She initially thought Kayla's arrival was an opportunity to stir things up even more. She had even strategically placed new personnel in The Velvet but never expected such a turn of events.Stella did not see it coming either. She had not interacted much with Kayla lately. Most of the design matters were handled by Maggie.Kayla was quite pleased with the piece, so she went ahead and paid the deposit. The item was delivered just a couple of days ago. It was personally sent to the Wilson residence by the company staff.So, when Kayla showed up at the store today, Stella genuinely thought it was because she was dissatisfied with the product.Every word Kayla uttered, though harsh, seemed aimed at steering the situation in her favor. Stella could not help but think of Keegan, who similarly appeared cold and aloof but gradually showed a warmer and caring side.She looked at Kayla, her gaze softenin

Stella chuckled when she heard what Darcie had said, "If I were truly ruthless, I would have invited his wife, daughter, and mistress to join us today. I spared him out of respect for you, Mrs. Saun."Darcie's face turned even paler. Without a word, she turned and briskly walked away.Stella watched as she retreated, her gaze cold.Not long after Darcie left, the police arrived. They escorted Chris out of the store through the back door. Only then did Stella return to the lobby.Upon entering, she spotted Kayla looking at her. She was about to greet her, but Kayla immediately turned around to chat with someone else.Stella was taken aback.Kayla sat on the sofa and pretended to engage in conversation for a while. When she turned her head, Stella was nowhere to be found.She looked left and right while furrowing her brows, wondering where Stella had disappeared to. Just then, a cup of coffee appeared in front of her."Looking for me?" Stella said as she smiled at Kayla.Kayla d

Stella spotted the approaching figure and momentarily froze.It was Marshall.'Okay, fine. I'll admit he's good-looking. But Keegan is slightly more handsome than him,' thought Stella.She had infrequent encounters with Marshall following the banquet her family held to announce her return. Due to a prior commitment, he was unable to attend the product launch, but he made sure to send two flower baskets in his absence.Over a month had passed since then, and Marshall seemed a little slender. His features had become more defined, but his smile remained gentle. His appearance suggested he had been at a party. He was dressed in a crisp white suit, projecting an image of refined sophistication.When Marshall approached the store, Stella greeted him with a smile and said, "Mr. Moore, what brings you here?""I attended a wedding nearby and figured I'd stop by since I haven't been here since you took over. Not gonna lie, I was worried you wouldn't be here," he explained, offering a bag o

Marshall nodded and said, "Take your time."Despite having promised to be with them after ten minutes, Stella got caught up with work and could not break free. Ten minutes turned into twenty, and she was still nowhere to be found.Kayla looked at the time and asked, "Mr. Moore, how is it that you're friends with Ms. Hall?"Marshall looked at her, seemingly surprised by the question. Nonetheless, he responded, "Stella has a good personality. She's warm-hearted and loyal to her friends. She's someone worth knowing.""But didn't you say you don't like people who don't value punctuality? She said she'd be here in ten minutes, but it's been twenty, and she still hasn't come down yet. Don't you want to write her a note and leave?" Kayla queried.Marshall was taken aback. He then realized who she was. The recent string of arranged dates was more of a family obligation for him. He did not intend to pursue any romantic relationships. So, he made excuses to end each date.Kayla's mention o

After some convincing, Stella managed to drag Marshall and Kayla out for food. She had messaged Keegan to come to the gathering, but he was busy with work.Upon hearing that she would be out with Marshall, he could not help but feel a pang of jealousy. However, knowing that Kayla would be there, Keegan begrudgingly swallowed his anger. He advised Stella to leave promptly after the meal and return to the Royalpark Villa, saying he had something to discuss with her.Stella could guess what Keegan had in mind. It was her birthday tomorrow. 'He probably wants to give me a birthday gift,' she thought.Wenham had initially planned an elaborate celebration, but Stella declined the effort. She was not close with many of the people in her social circle. Considering the recent banquet thrown to announce Stella's return to the Saun family, throwing such a huge event might not only be unfavorable but also be seen as excessive.After much persuasion, Wenham settled for a smaller gathering with

Kayla looked at the two and suddenly noticed that Marshall regarded Stella as more than just a friend.Before the group finished their meal, Stella's phone rang. Her eyes immediately lit up when she saw the caller ID. She grabbed her phone and said, "Excuse me while I take this call outside."Marshall was visibly disappointed once Stella left.Kayla calmly took a sip of her water as she thought, 'Does Marshall have a thing for his friend's partner? Woah. The romantic dynamic in the entertainment industry is wild.'Meanwhile, Stella walked to the terrace and answered the phone."Why did it take you so long to pick up?" The person on the other line sounded displeased."It was too noisy inside. I just stepped out of the restaurant," said Stella. "Are you done with work?""Yeah," Keegan replied. "I'm on my way to pick you up. We won't have time if I go any later.""What do you mean?"Keegan lowered his voice mysteriously, "I prepared a surprise for you."Stella laughed and asked,

Stella soon realized that she had avoided a close call with death just a moment ago. She got goosebumps and broke out in cold sweat.Marshall held her hand, his tone unusually tense, "Are you okay? Did the car hit you? Why aren't you saying anything? Are you hurt?"Stella pressed her lips together and suddenly withdrew her hand from his palm.Marshall was momentarily taken aback.Stella lowered her head and pretended to adjust her clothes. "I'm fine," she said. She then looked up at him and smiled, "Thank you."Her gaze suddenly grew distant, and Marshall watched her in a daze. He could read her emotions without the need for words. She was rejecting his affection.Marshall lowered his eyes, feeling a pang in his heart. "I'm glad you're fine," he whispered.Stella clutched her phone. She wanted to say something but did not know how to begin.Stella always thought that Keegan was overthinking when he got jealous of Marshall. But the urgency and relief in Marshall's eyes made thin

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
