Stella was still thinking about how to peacefully gloss over what transpired last night with Keegan. 'Yesterday was an accident. It can't be helped since even adults can sometimes be rash.'He didn't even ask in the end. It even feels like he can't be bothered by it.'Her mood immediately turned a little sour.'I'd better not throw a tantrum. Blowing up here would make it seem like I'm self-conscious about last night.'Seeing it from another angle, let's treat it as getting a free night service since Keegan seemed willing to serve me.'Following this train of thought, her heart felt a little at ease."I wrote it half-heartedly," said Stella, naturally not telling Keegan. Fifty million was the lawyer fees she wished Marshall charged her over the divorce case.Obviously, she would not bring Marshall on board to fight her case since he was Keegan's friend, not expecting him to side with her even if he was onboarded.That half-hearted contact name was not a lie at all.Keegan did
"What news?" Stella pressed the corner of her eyes from the strain of reading the script on her phone."All of Zeckary's work had been taken off the shelves. I assumed she was suspended.""Who is it?""It was the original actress that was supposed to roleplay this role. She's a pretty famous female artist with many awards under her belt."Since Stella signed the contract, Felicity joined the backstage crew's WhatsApp group. That was how she came across news like Zeckary being signed up for the role before Stella did."Why was she suspended?""Rumor has it that her stand was questionable regarding a sensitive topic she published. She had eluded to being exposed a few times in the past since those were groundless accusations with no evidence. She was ruined this time because someone dug out her published remark from ten years ago. I'm guessing Daniel knew this right from the start. That's why she was dropped."'No wonder...'Such an important role should not be empty, yet they we
But Stella obviously was cuter than Albert. Thinking about the fact that Stella helped earn more than 30 million dollars, Vermont immediately felt that she was still quite pleasing to the eye.He was even gifted a box of oysters."Albert not only wants to invest in the Northon project, but also in Semiconductor Technology. Where's he going to get so much money?"The Jewell family's trump card could not be more apparent to them than it currently was.The Jewell family can only be considered a third-rate enterprise in Rivera before Stella married Keegan. The fact that they were even a third-rate enterprise was thanks to the wife's guidance.When his wife was met with an accident, he hastily took control of the company and chased away a lot of key staff. It was a pity that his ambition did not match his capabilities, causing the company to meet its current plight within two years.As the turnover rate increased and more orders were delayed, he began to plot against his soon-to-be gr
Vermont started to have a terrible impression of her ever since that.The Kane family could definitely afford that, but it was very spiteful of her to do that without telling her husband about it.However, Keegan told him to keep his mouth shut. Otherwise, Cordelia would never have a good impression of Stella just because of that.However, Stella had surprised Vermont too much in the recent month. He could not help but wonder if he was just prejudiced against her.'Why would Stella set Albert up if she's really on his side?'She should do whatever she can to be with Keegan if she's the type who puts money before everything else. Why would she file a divorce?' Vermont thought to himself.Besides, Stella was Dusk Galaxy.The person he idolized for so long turned out to be the person he used to hate. Perhaps he loved Dusk Galaxy so much that he could not bring himself to her anymore.Vermont glanced at Keegan and asked, "You didn't allow Albert to invest because of Stella, right?"
Stella was speechless.On the other side of the screen, Vermont tried very hard to hold his laughter back.Keegan was just mean.Fortunately, Stella was shameless enough to not show her anger out loud. She felt a lot better after reminding herself of her intention of coming here."I was too inconsiderate. I only realized that I should take care of you since you were hurt because of me. I read a few jokes recently, and they're hilarious. Do you want to hear them?"Keegan was uncomfortable by Stella's sudden change of attitude. From what he knew about her, she would never speak like this.Normally, Stella would not hesitate to talk back at him if he were to speak to her like that.'What's she up to?'Keegan went silent for a few seconds before he said, "Sure."He took a sip of milk as he said this.Stella thought for a moment. Then, she said, "One day, Mama Fly brought Baby Fly to a pile of poop for lunch."Then, Baby Fly asked Mama Fly, 'Mama, mama, why are you eating poop?'
"I... don't think I'm going. Keegan hasn't recovered yet, and I have to stay here to take care of him."Stella spoke in a hesitant manner. Clearly, she was still very tempted to go.Vermont responded, "He's not a kid that needs you to hug and tuck him in. Just leave him at home. I'll bring you there."Keegan's eye twitched. Suddenly, he felt like stuffing something into Vermont's mouth to shut him up."Oh... Maybe... I should go then?"She asked Keegan tentatively.Keegan gazed at her. "Do whatever you want. Why are you looking at me?""Oh." And so, Stella began to ask more questions about the exhibition. "What time does it start?""Probably seven to eight at night. We'll only be able to witness the beauty of the Luminous Pearl when it's dark. Just get ready by then, and I'll come to pick you up."Vermont went offline after saying that.The study room suddenly went quiet. Stella had yet to get what she came here for, so she did not leave.Keegan was starting to find her pres
Stella kept looking at Keegan's reaction after saying that.However, he did not have much of a reaction, and the look on his face did not change either. "Oh." That was all he said before he asked, "Why?"'Could it be true that Keegan really doesn't know about it?'Stella wondered to herself as she continued, "Somebody found out about something she said on the internet once, and most people disagreed with her. So, she got canceled, and all her shows were dropped."Keegan kept quiet.Stella spoke again, "I'm sure she crossed somebody or offended people that she shouldn't have. Otherwise, why would people purposely dig out something she said more than ten years ago?"Keegan responded frankly, "She wouldn't end up like this if what she said wasn't problematic.""I heard she got a role in a new show, but somebody else wanted it too. That was how everything started. She got canceled by everyone because of just that. Don't you think the people who did this are too evil?""Business is
There were more than thirty sets of clothes stacked up on the sofa. She probably placed them at the side because she did not like them after trying them on.Stella was always a more conservative person, and she would only wear dresses that had buttons all the way up to the collarbone.However, she was not happy with all the dresses she tried.She took off the dress she was wearing after spinning for a bit in front of the mirror.Her waist looked attractive. Keegan could see a small part of her skinny and fair waist when she removed that dress. Her legs were slender and long too. She had all the curves in the right places, like a goddess.Keegan leaned against the railing of the stairs on the second floor. He sipped on his coffee while openly enjoying the beautiful view downstairs.Then, Stella answered a call. It was probably Felicity."I'm trying on clothes for a jewelry exhibition tonight." She spoke while fumbling through the pile of clothes before she continued irritably, "I
