A familiar voice came from the other end of the line when the call patched through.

To his surprise, it was Marshall.

Keegan clenched his jaw and pursed his lips, not saying anything.

Having received no reply from that end, Marshall hesitated for a while before he called out, "Keegan?"

Keegan then gave a short "Yes" as a reply.

Marshall said, "Why can't your phone be reached?"

"No battery left." Keegan paused. "Are you looking for Stella?"

Marshall smiled. "I'm looking for you. I could not reach your phone, so I tried calling Stella instead."

'Stella...'

Keegan pondered over the name as he pressed his lips.

"Is there anything you need?"

Marshall's cleared his voice. "I've been busy these few days. When Aurora brought up the topic of your injury when I chatted with her this morning, I went to Vermont for further details. How are you feeling? Are you better now?"

Keegan pinched his eyebrows and said, "I'm fine."

"Vermont said the person had been caught. Do you need my help?"

    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

    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
