Trevor clenched his fists, veins bulging on the back of his hand, but he did not get angry. He simply reached out and gave her a stack of cash, "Who did you give the child to?"Under Trevor's cold gaze, Venice's voice trembled."After we handed the dead infant to the family of the woman in labor, Dillon left. I was afraid that the family would discover the matter, so I followed her to ask when she would give me the money. What if it was discovered? I needed to discuss what to do when that happens with her."She went to the rooftop alone, and I saw her talking to a man. I wanted to call out to her, but that man asked Dillon if the baby had died. I was startled and hid."Dillon said the child was dead before being born and then asked him when he would pay up. That's when I found out someone didn't want to buy the child; they wanted the child dead."She shuddered as her hands trembled, seemingly still haunted by the past. She took a few sips of water before continuing, "After Dillon
Venice was shocked, "Wh-What do you mean?"Trevor's face darkened, "I'm asking the questions here!"Venice shook her head fearfully, "I don't know. You should find Dillon. She knows more than I do. I only know about the infants switching. As for what really happened to the mother and whether she did anything, I honestly don't know."I just wanted the money. I never thought about harming someone's life. There were four people in the delivery room at that time. You can ask the other two. They were responsible for the delivery. They should know more than me...""They are all dead." Trevor interrupted her. He coldly stared at her and continued, "You didn't know?"Venice muttered with a bewildered expression, "Dead? How could they be dead?"Trevor observed her expression. The fear and confusion in her eyes seemed genuine."Think carefully about the appearance of that man. I'll pay you double if you're willing to return to Hustuabourg with me and make a statement."Venice snapped bac
'And that medicine...'Keegan thought of the sound of wind chimes he heard every time he was in a daze. Lowering his gaze, he absentmindedly tapped the tabletop with his fingers.Aldor was very intrigued by Keegan's insights, so he asked, "How do you know?""I..." Keegan paused and said lightly, "Asked about it before."'Asked about it? Mr. Kane isn't mentally ill, so for whom did he consult?' Aldor thought to himself.Keegan stood up, took the documents to the shredder, and tossed them in. The documents were instantly shredded into bits.He threw those bits into the ashtray, took out a lighter, ignited the bits, and watched the flames flicker. "Don't tell anyone about this matter," he said flatly.Aldor asked in a low voice, "Including Mrs. Kane?"Keegan nodded.Aldor was about to say "Okay" but suddenly froze. He just called Stella "Mrs. Kane," but Keegan said nothing!Aldor cautiously asked, "Mr. Kane, have you remembered everything?"Keegan's gaze remained lowered as he
Keegan was at a loss for words. He wore a dark expression and gritted his teeth, saying, "Do you think I'll be afraid of that?"Aldor replied, "It's not about being afraid or not. It's about respect."Keegan pursed his lips, "I'm just going to pick up some medicine."Aldor nodded, "I understand, but don't expect Mrs. Kane to do the same. As you said, don't try to reason with her because she's the least reasonable person."Keegan remained silent. Then, he said, "If you don't tell her, how would she know?"Aldor chuckled, "You're overestimating me. Mrs. Kane can find out what color of underwear you're wearing if she wants to. Do you seriously think I can hide anything from her?"Keegan gritted his teeth, "Just keep your mouth shut then!"Aldor stood still and made a zipping motion across his mouth. He then picked up his things and left.Suddenly, Keegan realized something and wondered, 'Could she really do that?'Meanwhile, at the Royalpark Villa, Stella sat in the living room.
Stella then stood up and headed to the kitchen with the strawberries in her hand.Coincidentally, Aurora came down from upstairs. Stella paused, asking, "Are you going out?"Aurora glanced at her and ignored her.Stella asked again, "I'm making strawberry pudding for Keegan. Do you want some?"Aurora hesitated for a moment and casually replied, "I don't care."Stella gritted her teeth, 'If it weren't for you doing me a favor these past two days, I wouldn't even talk to you!'She took a deep breath, telling herself not to argue with Aurora, 'I'm pregnant and have to keep myself happy, happy..."Stella had not cooked anything in a long time, so she was afraid of messing it up. She called Felicity to get the recipe again and then started working.Meanwhile, Felicity had just hung up the phone and told Vermont, "After Stella got pregnant, it seems like she's become more amiable. She used to hate Aurora, but just now, on the phone, she even said she would make strawberry pudding for
Felicity's eyes widened as she grabbed Vermont, who was about to make a beeline for the dining table, "Tell me, Vermont. Who's the guy Jaylene is arm-in-arm with?""Huh?" Vermont was confused. He looked in the direction she was pointing and thought, 'Fuck.'"Jaylene? Where?" He asked.Felicity's lip twitched, "You stinky cucumber! You're truly loyal to Keegan, huh? You're lying straight to my face, and you think you've got a shot with me? Dream on!"As she spoke, she pushed him away and tried to storm off."I was just kidding, Felicity. Why take it so seriously? I'm not blind. I see those two clearly," Vermont said as he hurriedly followed her.He knew he could not stop Keegan from digging his own grave, 'It's better if I focus on my problems.'Felicity scowled and gritted her teeth, "Stella just called, asking for a strawberry pudding recipe. She said it's Keegan's favorite. But what's going on here? She's at home, playing the ideal wife while being pregnant, and Keegan is arm-
Felicity hesitated before finally voicing her concern, "But what if Keegan falls for Jaylene during this time?"Her question amused Vermont. He answered, "Baby, Jaylene and Keegan go way back. They're childhood friends. If Keegan had feelings for her, he wouldn't have gotten together with Stella. I will personally show Jaylene the way out if Keegan ever betrays your best friend."Vermont's response left Felicity surprised. He certainly had a way with words.Despite Felicity's initial resentment, she somewhat agreed with Vermont after his persuasive spiel. Finally, she pressed her lips together and said after a while, "If you don't follow through—""I'll never be able to have children," Vermont interjected, completing the latter half of her sentence.Felicity's anger toward him dissipated.Vermont took her hand and said, "Let's go. It's time to see why Keegan is hanging out with Jaylene."Jaylene handed Keegan a glass of wine, "Keegan, try this. It's a special selection from a wi
Keegan took the glass and sampled the wine before downing the rest. He casually picked up a tissue and wiped his lips. Felicity observed as the tissue slowly soaked wet before Keegan disposed of it."Not bad," Keegan commented.Jaylene finished her drink with a bright smile on her face, "The groom really loves wine. He personally chose the drinks for this banquet. Each table has a different selection of wine, but they all taste exceptional."She gestured for a waiter and ordered another drink, "Keegan, do you want to try this one? It's a fruit wine but packs more punch in terms of alcohol content. It also has a richer aroma."Keegan accepted it. He sniffed and said softly, "It's very fragrant. I can smell the fruit."Jaylene smiled, "It's my favorite."After a brief pause, Keegan raised the glass and finished it in one go. He sipped some water and remarked, "The taste is a bit bitter. It's not as impressive as the previous two."Jaylene chuckled. "That's because you downed it to
