Stella's expression immediately changed. "You useless thing! My average cost has been raised to six dollars now! How can I show off my thriftiness to Keegan?"Keegan was speechless.He cleared his throat softly, and Stella stopped, quickly hiding the cup behind her back.Keegan looked at the broken pieces on the floor and suggested, "Why not just sit on the floor? I can still see them."Stella froze.She angrily brought her hand from behind her back, glaring at Keegan. "Why didn't I hear you coming up? Are you trying to scare me?"Keegan glanced at the door, which had finally stopped swinging after he had pushed it, and remarked, "My bad, next time I'll just tear the door down."His comment left Stella completely speechless. She cursed in her mind, 'What an asshole!'Ignoring him, Stella grabbed another cup, determined to give it another try.Keegan approached and crouched down. "What are you doing?""Isn't it obvious? I'm drilling the cup."Stella marked the bottom of the c
Keegan stared at the leaves for a while before saying, "It's not symmetrical."Then, with a gentle flick of his finger, he made one leaf fall off. Satisfied, he remarked, "There, that looks better."'I'm going to kill him!' Stella seethed inwardly.She gritted her teeth and swiftly reclaimed her cherished plant. "You're such a troublemaker!" she snapped.Keegan grabbed her hand. "It's getting late. Maria can help you out tomorrow.""Maria doesn't really know how. She just waters them, but some flowers don't need much water. I haven't been here for a while, and many of my flowers died. I can't just leave them alone."Gently cradling the potted succulent, she turned to Keegan with a smile. "Do you think it's beautiful?"Keegan found himself ensnared in her sparkling eyes.Stella did not have any makeup on, revealing smooth skin, and her disheveled hair cascaded gently around her ears.In the breeze, her hair danced, and her long lashes fluttered slightly. Keegan couldn't help bu
As soon as Aurora entered the room, she overheard Dahlia speaking in a hushed tone, looking nervous as she held her phone, engaged in a conversation.What Dahlia had said left Aurora deeply shocked."Are you saying Cordelia knows about it too? No wonder she immediately agreed with Stella staying in the Royalpark Villa!"Calm down? How can I calm down? It's easy for you to say! If Keegan remembers what happened, I'll be the first person he kicks out of this house!"She's been taking that medicine for so long, why can she still get pregnant?"Absolutely not!"We can't let the baby stay. Keegan would never allow her to live in the Royalpark Villa without the baby. I'll have nothing to worry about as long as he can't remember what happened."Aurora's face turned pale. She tightly gripped the glass to prevent her hands from trembling.However, the sound of the door closing caught Dahlia's attention, causing her to abruptly end the call. Upon seeing Aurora, she breathed a sigh of rel
"Okay," Aurora murmured, lowering her head.Dahlia gestured dismissively. "You should go back and get some sleep."However, Aurora remained rooted to the spot. Instead, she asked Dahlia, "Mom, is Stella pregnant?"The look on Dahlia's face changed as she spoke in a serious tone, "What did you hear?""I couldn't catch everything. I just heard you mention her being pregnant," Aurora inquired softly. "Is it true?"Dahlia had raised Aurora from infancy, and Keegan had once locked her up for a few days because of Stella. Considering the deep-seated conflict between them, Dahlia seemed to believe there was nothing she couldn't share with Aurora."Your brother was previously planning a divorce," Dahlia disclosed, "but suddenly brought her back to the Royalpark Villa, claiming he needed her assistance."Even Cordelia hired a nutritionist to take care of them. I suspected something was amiss and had your uncle investigate."Turns out, your brother lied about why he wanted her to stay. T
After all, in high-society families, the collective interest of every member always came first.As Dahlia thought about that, her expression relaxed. "Alright then. Find a reason to move into the Royalpark Villa and seek the right moment. Also..."Dahlia lowered her voice as she continued, "Keep a close eye on Keegan and Stella. See if he really treats her coldly as rumored.""I got it," Aurora affirmed.Dahlia picked up the glass of collagen drink from the table and handed it to Aurora, instructing, "Drink it."Staying there longer will make Stella drop her guard. It's crucial that no one suspects your involvement."Aurora took a sip of the collagen drink and asked, "Mom, is it true that Jackson is unrelated to Keegan's case?"Dahlia paused momentarily before saying with a cold expression, "Would the police release him if he were involved? Stella is the sole reason Keegan was kidnapped. If she hadn't interfered with Marshall, the kidnappers wouldn't have mistaken Keegan for him
Aurora halted for a moment, then asserted, "Maria, are you thinking straight? Every room in this house belongs to my brother. Who is she to have a room here?"She pointed at the room as she spoke, "Throw her things out now.""Where will Ms. Hall stay if you stay here?"Aurora started to get impatient. "What do I care? That's none of my business!"Maria looked at her before shifting her gaze to Stella. "Ms. Hall... I..."Stella was surprisingly calm as she said flatly, "Maria, help me pack my things up. I'll go out to make a call.""Okay," Maria responded. Then, Stella went outside with her phone to call Keegan.Keegan was en route to the meeting room when he noticed Stella's call. He paused and informed Aldor, "You head in first. I need to take this call."Aldor acknowledged and proceeded ahead.Stepping aside to a quieter area, Keegan answered the call. Stella's voice emerged from the other end, "Keegan, did you invite Aurora to stay in your house?"Keegan furrowed his brow.
As Stella and Aurora heard the door open, both turned their heads toward the entrance."Hi, Keegan," Aurora greeted.Stella couldn't help but notice a hint of relief in Aurora's tone.'What's she so tense about? Is she worried I might confront her without Keegan around?'Keegan hung up his coat and asked, "What brings you here?""Grandma said Stella came here to aid in your memory recovery. Why didn't you inform me? We've grown up together, and shouldn't I be spending more time with you? That way, you might recover faster. That's why I came here," Aurora explained.Keegan furrowed his brows. "Did Grandma request you to come?"Aurora pouted. "No, I came on my own.""Go back. There's nothing for you to do here," Keegan insisted.Aurora grew upset. "If Stella can be here, why can't I? I don't care; I'm not leaving. I want to help you."Keegan countered, "What can you help me with? This is not—""Not what?" Aurora interjected.Keegan paused momentarily before continuing, "This
"Let me stay and help you. I won't cause you any trouble," Aurora said.Keegan looked at her with his deep gaze. After a long pause, he said, "I promise you. Can you come down now?"With shaking legs, Aurora sat on the railing. Keegan got worried again. "I've already promised you. What else do you want?"Aurora's face turned pale as she said in a hoarse voice, "I can't climb back in..."Keegan and Stella were both left speechless.After getting Aurora down, Keegan scolded her for a long time.Stella stood on the side, silently observing everything.She figured that if Keegan had been stricter with Aurora when she was younger, maybe she wouldn't have acted this way.In the end, Aurora still stayed there.After she went back to her room, Keegan explained to Stella, "It's too late today. I'll have someone send her back tomorrow.""It's okay. She's just worried about you. Let her stay here if she wants."Stella was unexpectedly understanding.Keegan was also a little confused b
