Chapter 1957

Author: Eleven Jewell
Stella, skeptical, rolled her eyes. "So, you improvised the second half of the story?"

Vermont replied, "Not exactly. It's a rough account of the events. Willow had a small family so Keegan organized her funeral, which I attended.

"The emptiness of the hall reminded me of my exam answer sheets. If her husband truly loved her, wouldn't he have been there?"

He continued thoughtfully, "Willow's disappearance might be tied to the Moore family. The car accident was due to Marshall's condition, but they likely covered it up. It's a complex situation, and perhaps it's better that Marshall doesn't remember."

Felicity, frowning, interjected, "He's fortunate to have forgotten. Willow's life was lost because of him. Stella, whatever happens with you and Keegan, avoid someone with baggage like Marshall. He and his family are a web of problems."

Stella had been silent until Felicity mentioned her name.

Suddenly, Stella asked, "Did Willow and Marshall have any children?"

Vermont, taken aback

    Stella's questions only deepened her confusion. She had hoped Vermont's insider perspective would clarify things, but crucial details remained murky.Vermont's account hinted that Keegan had been involved in handling the fallout from Marshall and Willow's incident. Stella found it hard to believe Marshall would be ungrateful, yet if he was implicated in the kidnapping case against Keegan, perhaps Willow's accident was not as straightforward as it seemed.Stella, deep in thought, suddenly asked, "When did Willow's car accident happen?"Vermont replied, "Seven years ago, in September. I remember it very clearly. I was doing a double degree and graduated a year later than them. That summer, I went abroad with some friends and didn't return until mid-September."Stella froze. 'That was the same month me and my mother had a car accident. So why was Keegan at the accident scene?'She remembered Detective Karl's findings about a cab involved in their collision. Two fatalities and a pregn

    "Got it. I won't spill the beans, and don't let Keegan know I asked you about this," said Stella."I would never. He'll be the first to come knocking if he knows that I talked to you. Back then, he was the one helping Marshall's mom silence people like us. I'm sticking my neck out here just telling you all this. So, don't screw me over," Vermont replied.Felicity sneered, "Look at you, all weak-kneed. Is Keegan gonna eat you alive?""You go up against him if you're so brave," Vermont said.Felicity hesitated for a moment, suddenly recalling the time when Keegan landed her in the slammer. She cleared her throat and said, "He hasn't crossed me. Why the hell would I go up against him?"Vermont laughed and taunted, "You're just a little chicken. The only person you dare mess with is me."Stella left the group voice call and dropped a WhatsApp message to Detective Karl, whom she hadn't contacted in a long time. [Can we meet up?]Detective Karl shot back instantly. [I don't provide ad

    "Stella, I've saved a lot of money. Can I take you out to play tomorrow? No Uncle Keegan this time," Coco said via voice message.Stella paused for a moment, then grinned. "Sure, but I've got something going on during the day. Can we meet up in the evening?"Coco, who hadn't slept yet, texted almost instantly, [Okay!]Perhaps feeling she was too forward, she took a while to type another message, [Stella, why are you not asleep yet?][Just waiting for your Uncle Keegan,] Stella replied.[Is he working overtime again?] Coco questioned.[Sort of.]Coco then sent another voice message saying, "You're a nice person, Stella."Stella was confused."Uncle Keegan said you're a good-looking, a good cook, and a good actor. Now that I've met you, I think you're better than he described. Chatting with you is great. You're good at comforting me. And you're nice because you wait for Uncle Keegan. Everything about you is nice. I really like you," Coco explained.Taken aback, Stella thought,

    Stella suppressed laughter and spoke warmly, "It's hard to tell with kids. I used to spend a lot of time outdoors as a child, and I didn't get fair right away. As you grow up and take care of yourself, your skin will naturally lighten over time. But even if it doesn't, that's perfectly fine. What matters is that you're healthy and confident. All skin tones are beautiful."Coco perked up when she heard that. She then set a time to meet up with Stella and turned off her phone.Stella looked at the photos Coco had sent her. She couldn't quite pinpoint who Coco resembled, but it definitely wasn't Marshall.'Marshall must have seen Coco during Keegan's "funeral". At that time, he didn't seem to have any particular reaction,' thought Stella.'Am I overthinking things?' she sighed.Meanwhile, Cyrene and her friends were playing poker."Cyrene, your luck is really something today. How much did you win?" asked one of her friends.Cyrene grinned and replied, "What do you mean? I just mana

    "Who do we have here? The heir of the Kane family. To what do I owe the pleasure?" Cyrene's tone was casual, but upon closer inspection, it carried a hint of sarcasm.She still harbored resentment toward Keegan for reporting Jackson to the police earlier. Even though Jackson returned safely, Cyrene couldn't swallow her pride as a mother.If it weren't for Chandler consistently advising him not to act impulsively, she would have had her whole family come over and demand justice.Keegan remained composed facing Cyrene's cold remarks. His tone was mild, "My mom got arrested."Cyrene chuckled. "Well, what goes around comes around."Keegan pressed on, "Chandler's not home, is he?"Cyrene paused. "Why do you ask?"Keegan explained, "My mom needs reinforcements. Who else can she turn to in the Kane family besides Chandler?"Cyrene's expression darkened. "Are you calling to mock me?""No, I'm here to pick you up."Cyrene was taken aback. "What did you say?"Keegan explained calmly,

    Cyrene had firmly decided that under no circumstances would she allow Chandler to bail Dahlia out tonight. With that determination, she sent a message to her two brothers at home.Turning to Keegan, she remarked, "I didn't know you were cold-blooded toward your mom."Keegan responded with calm indifference, "She's not exactly a loving mother to me either, Cyrene. Have you ever seen a mother so eager to divide the family property when her son was missing?"Cyrene remained silent.To be honest, she didn't dislike Keegan. If it weren't for Dahlia flaunting Keegan's achievements in front of Cordelia and belittling her son every time, she wouldn't mind if Jackson spent more time learning from Keegan.Unfortunately, Dahlia didn't know when to shut up. Jackson's grades weren't good, and every time they met, she would deliberately bring it up in front of many people.After asking about Jackson, she would immediately mention that Keegan scored several perfect grades again and that she was

    Chandler ignored Cyrene's words and said in a low voice, "Stop making a scene. Wait for me in the car."Cyrene grabbed his shirt and said sharply, "I said you're not going! Does she not have children to help her? Why are you even here?""Would she still need to call me if Keegan and Aurora are willing to come? I'm sure that she has no other options."Cyrene was furious. "Why are you helping her if even her children don't want to? Even if they don't come, she still has her brother. Who do you think you are?"Chandler's expression turned unpleasant momentarily, "Why are you saying things like this? Isn't Dahlia a part of our family too? Do you think our family's reputation won't be affected if something happened to her?""So, you do care about the Kane family's reputation, huh?" Cyrene sneered. "Do you know exactly what happened tonight and why she was arrested then?"Chandler frowned. "Regardless of what happened, we can't just leave her alone, right?"Cyrene explained, "Erick Ch

    Cyrene took out a marriage certificate from her bag and said, "Sir, this is just a misunderstanding. "He's my husband and those are all my nephews. They specially arranged this surprise party for him. "He's just causing a scene because he's afraid of getting drunk tonight."Chandler's face turned red in anger. "She's talking nonsense!" he said with his jaw clenched.The police officer glanced at him, looked at the marriage certificate, and returned it to Cyrene. Then, he waved his hand and said, "Move the cars away. Don't block the entrance.""Yes, sir. We'll leave right away." Cyrene apologized and turned around. The smile on her face disappeared as she opened the car door and got into the front passenger seat. "Let's go," she said in a cold voice.In the back seat, Chandler was sandwiched between the two nephews who had served in the military. Whenever he tried to move a little, he would be pinned back down on his seat.Chandler had never felt so embarrassed in his life. H

    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
