Darcie whispered, "You shouldn't have gone so far anyway. I just received updates that the Kane family has dropped all the search and rescue teams. It won't be long before they publicly announce his death."Wenham was taken aback. "So soon?" he said."It's been almost a month. The entire Kane family has been through a lot, and it's time for them to have closure.Wenham felt a pang of sorrow and remained silent for a long time.Stella had waited for Keegan's return, but she received news of his tragic fate through an announcement from the Kane family instead.The Kane family had told the public about Keegan's accident, and his memorial service was scheduled for the day after tomorrow.Stella stared at the words on her phone and felt a sense of suffocation overwhelming her. It felt as if she was being choked, and her head became dizzy and heavy. Every word on the screen seemed as though it was spinning, and she could not comprehend what the announcement was saying at all.A wave o
The main living room was transformed into a memorial hall. Dahlia wore a black dress as she stood next to Aurora beside Keegan's photo. They were welcoming the guests who came to pay their respects to Keegan.Cordelia sat in the wheelchair, and Baldwin stood behind her.Her expression was solemn, and her hair seemed even whiter than before. Her once chubby face turned bony, making her wrinkles more obvious.Keegan was the eldest grandson of the Kane family, and he died before he could have any child. Despite the grand setup of the memorial hall, there was an indescribable sense of sorrow.As soon as Stella stepped inside, she saw Keegan's photo hanging on the wall. The image was cropped from their wedding photo, but it was now in black and white.Dahlia, initially welcoming the guests, burst into anger as soon as she saw Stella. She approached Stella with a cold face and scolded, "Get lost! Keegan doesn't want you here!"Cordelia held her cold necklace in her hand as she watched
Stella was not worried about the wealth distribution but the blood-related kin Chandler mentioned.'Beside Dahlia, who could that person be?'Chandler smirked, "You've been married to Keegan for so long. Don't you know he has a daughter?"Stella instinctively denied it, "That's impossible!"Chandler replied indifferently, "Do I have a reason to lie about such things?"As soon as he finished speaking, Stella saw Aurora coming inside with a little girl dressed in a full black outfit.The little girl looked somewhat tanned and skinny but had large, lively eyes. Her facial features looked very prominent, too. Aurora was holding her hand while she looked at the unfamiliar faces around her curiously.When she saw Stella, her eyes instantly lit up. However, she quickly looked away, took small steps through the crowd, and walked to the center of the memorial hall. Then, she called out to Dahlia in an adorable voice, "Hello, Grandma."Dahlia's eyes turned red as she bent down to pick th
That voice was so familiar that Stella could instantly recognize it. However, she hesitated to turn around, fearing she would be disappointed."Keegan Kane!" Felicity exclaimed as she looked at the person who appeared at the door.Never before had Felicity found Keegan's face so endearing.Stella felt like she had lost all her strength as she turned around stiffly with reddened eyes.Keegan was seated in a wheelchair when he came in with someone pushing him from behind.It had been a month, and he had visibly lost weight. His hair was cut short, making his facial features look sharper. His complexion was extremely pale as if he had been seriously ill.Behind him was Jaylene pushing the wheelchair.A hostile aura surged within Stella almost instantly. She knew that she was right. After Keegan's disappearance, Jaylene acted strange, and it was not just her imagination. It was true that Jaylene had hidden Keegan.She shook off Marshall's hand with reddened eyes, overwhelmed with a
Hushed conversations filled the air. Some in the room understood what was happening, while others did not."Are you Jackson Kane?" The police officer pressed.Jackson snapped back to reality. He suppressed his emotions and replied, "Yes.""Do you know a Cody Hunter?""No, I don't," Jackson stated."No?" The police officer scrutinized him, "Cody Hunter was present at the club where you were drinking. Why was he at your gathering if you don't know him?"Jackson frowned, "I attend gatherings organized by friends. I don't keep track of who's present. Who is Cody Hunter?""He's the brother of one of the kidnappers involved in Keegan's disappearance," said the officer.He then shifted the focus and added, "Jackson Kane, we suspect you're connected to Keegan's kidnapping. Please come with us to assist in the investigation."These words unleashed a storm of emotions in everyone present.Chandler had been reorganizing the company's structure since Keegan's accident. Positions once hel
Keegan spun his wheelchair around to face the people in the room, "Apologies for taking up everyone's time. We've witnessed quite the spectacle today. Regardless, I want to thank each of you for supporting my family during my absence. Your support means a lot. I wasn't fully prepared for today's event. However, I plan to express my gratitude once I recover."His words clearly indicated that the guests were now free to leave. Being a group of wise individuals, they offered words of comfort and began to make their exit.At that moment, Chandler spoke up, "Keegan, since we're all here today, why not take advantage of this opportunity to introduce Coco to everyone? This will help prevent any future misunderstandings or rumors that might harm the child."Chandler's intentions were far from benevolent.Keegan, having brought the police to take Jackson away upon his return, was not one to tolerate this humiliation.Chandler intended to use Coco to overturn Keegan's previous will and crea
Felicity immediately elbowed Vermont and shot him a glare, "Oh, you and your big mouth!""Uncle Chandler, do we need to take a paternity test for you to believe me? We both know that our family tree is small. Grandma hopes I can contribute more to the family. Why would I let Coco stay outside if she were my daughter?" asked Keegan.Chandler was at a loss for words.Cordelia did not want her family to create any more headlines and become a laughingstock. So, she spoke up, "Chandler, you and Baldwin should arrange to send everyone back."Chandler took a deep breath after hearing that. He suppressed his frustrations and agreed to arrange transportation for the guests.Cordelia turned to Keegan and said, "Keegan, come to my room later. I have something to discuss with you.""Sure, Grandma." Keegan nodded.Cordelia felt a sense of relief upon the safe return of her eldest grandson. Feeling fatigued, she let Corrin help her upstairs to rest.Guests who had attended the memorial servi
Everyone fell silent when they heard Keegan's words.Stella wore a look of utter disbelief, "What did you just say?"Keegan maintained his indifference, "When I arrived, I saw news of you kissing Marshall in the concert hall. Did you divorce me because you got involved with him?"Trevor's face turned cold, "Keegan, are you out of your mind? It's fine if others don't get it, but you should know what kind of person Stella is. What nonsense are you spouting?"Stella's expression turned unpleasant. She thought Keegan was jealous due to those rumors. However, he said, "I'm sorry. I don't remember much. I was just making wild guesses without any offense intended."After a pause, he continued, "Trevor, are you close with my ex-wife? You seem to know her quite well."Trevor was dumbfounded, "She's my sister. What's wrong with you? Are you out of your mind?""Sister?" Keegan was puzzled. "Isn't your sister Jaylene?"It was then that the group noticed that something was wrong with Keegan
