Chapter 2027

Author: Eleven Jewell
As Aldor checked the reports Aurora had worked on, he chuckled. "Mr. Kane is very focused when he works, often losing track of time. He doesn't always mean to delay everyone's time.

"If you have something to attend to, you can go first. I'll give Mr. Kane a heads up later," he continued.

Aurora rolled her eyes. "Everyone else is still here. Wouldn't it mean I'm getting special treatment if I leave early? Keegan would definitely scold me again later. Besides, have you forgotten that Grandma asked you to go to her place for dinner tonight?"

"Can I not go?" Aldor seemed conflicted. Cordelia was rather cunning; dinner at her place meant he had to be careful.

"Sure. But you have to inform her yourself," said Aurora.

Aldor remained silent. He glanced at Aurora, who was sipping some water, and said, "Tell your grandma we're going on a date tonight. Say you want some alone time with me."

Aurora spat out a mouthful of water. Her face turned red as she said, "Who wants to spend time with y

    It was not without reason that Aldor could effortlessly navigate his position as the boss's assistant. While others may butter up the boss according to their preferences, he often flattered his boss's partner instead.Keegan hurriedly rushed home, only to find Stella packing her bags. He paused and asked, "Heading out?"Stella continued organizing her suitcase, explaining, "When you were missing, I went to the wishing well in Jorgeville to pray for you. Now that you're back in good health, I thought it was time to show my gratitude."Keegan was puzzled. "Why the sudden urge to do that now?""I had completely forgotten about it until Aldor reminded me. You've been back for a while, and all my prayers have been answered. It's time to light up some candles and offer a small donation."'Aldor... So, that cunning fellow is behind this!'Keegan thought Stella's urgent call meant something serious. Little did he know it was Aldor's clever ploy to get him off work early for the festival.

    Keegan remained silent before asking, "Do you think I did it on purpose?"Stella sighed and said, "I was thinking of returning the talisman to Marshall if you minded. But now it seems like you don't really—""Okay, I did it on purpose!" Keegan immediately interjected, his face darkening. "How dare he give you a talisman in front of me?! He and Spencer are the same. They're both no good!"Marshall gave Stella gifts in front of Keegan while Spencer poured his heart out in his presence. They had no shame.Stella chuckled. "Actually, I had no intention of accepting it at first. But you were so careless, dropping the talisman into the water. It would be embarrassing for you if I rejected him."Keegan was taken aback. "Why didn't you say it earlier?""You didn't give me a chance to say anything. You just recklessly dropped the talisman into the water. It wouldn't have been appropriate for me to refuse at that moment."'Does that mean I created an opportunity for her to accept the gift

    Stella chuckled, "This necklace is so heavy; I doubt flushing it down the toilet would work."Keegan gritted his teeth and said, "How could you say that? You deliberately put it on the bedside to make me uncomfortable, right?"Stella nodded unapologetically and replied with a smile, "I just wanted to see how long you could pretend."Keegan was at a loss for words.Feigning anger, he said, "You have no sense of boundaries! How many times have you received gifts from him?""Not many. Just a necklace and a talisman."Keegan's fake irritation turned into genuine annoyance. "What about the phone he gave you?"Stella chuckled nervously upon hearing that. "It's been too long; I forgot." Then she justified herself. "Besides, it's not like I accepted it for free. I gave him a tie in return. It cost me 6999 dollars. When I think about it, it feels like a loss. That phone wasn't worth that much either."Keegan had a deadpan face at that point. "It cost you 7098; you missed ninety-nine dol

    Keegan glanced at Stella. "I'll print and give you other photos of me. What's so nice about this one? I look so innocent and ignorant.""No way. I think you look very handsome." Stella smiled and flattered him, "Much more handsome than now. You were at your peak when you were twenty years old, don't you think so?"Keegan's mood brightened upon hearing that as a smile appeared on his face. "I still prefer how I look now," he said flatly.Looking too handsome and attractive was not necessarily a good thing in the corporate world. Imagine someone with a charming and youthful aura; even with innovative and cutting-edge ideas, the appearance may make them sound less convincing.Over the years, Keegan had maintained the habit of exercising not because he particularly enjoyed it but because having a robust physique helped him look older and more mature.Although he still had a beautiful face, his bulky build and the aura accumulated from years of business experience left no one daring to

    Irene was always the spotlight in every Moore family banquet.Whether it was the uncles who came from afar or the younger son's family taking care of Frederick, none of them could ever gain Frederick's favor.It was not about his bias toward daughters but rather because Irene resembled his past lover, whom he had abandoned back then.In every aristocratic family, one could date any woman but only marry someone from an equal background.Janet Yarrow, Frederick's current wife, was a woman from an equal background. Rumor had it that his past love had jumped into the river on his wedding day. Some also claimed she married a carpenter and moved to Lakerock. Regardless, no one had ever seen her again.The Moore family's playboy became Janet's devoted husband after tying the knot with her.However, Janet had poor health and suffered three miscarriages from four pregnancies. Their only son was intellectually disabled, and the Moore family was reluctant to acknowledge him as a part of the

    'How interesting,' Marshall thought as he smiled to himself.As Irene lifted her gaze, she coincidentally caught sight of that smile. She asked, "Marshall, I heard that you've been getting close with Mark's daughter. Are you guys dating?"Frederick furrowed his brows upon hearing that name. "That uncultured nouveau roturier?"The frown made his face, which was already full of wrinkles, appear even more stern.Marshall responded in a flat tone, "Mr. Wilson may have limited education, but he has great vision and judgment. Otherwise, how could he become a leading figure in the energy industry?"Frederick scoffed. "Even a fool can be rich by catching the right trend."Marshall chuckled. "Irene should be one of the pioneers in the energy industry. Did she not catch the trend because she's not interested?"The Moore family had extensive connections built over the decades. They would undoubtedly be among the first to know whenever there was a new business opportunity.When the energy

    Marshall remained silent as he stood next to Irene, gazing downstairs. His lowered gaze concealed his expression; Irene could not tell what he was thinking about.After a while, he asked, "Do you have another one?"She tossed him a box of cigarettes and a lighter. Marshall swiftly took one out, flicked it a couple of times on his fingertips, and then lit it.Perhaps it had been too long since he last smoked. When he took the first drag, he could not help but cough a few times.Irene glanced at him and said flatly, "You used to listen to everything he says. You've changed a lot since you came back to Hustuabourg.""Really?" After a brief pause, Marshall took another drag and said, "I don't remember what I used to be like, but I'm pretty happy with who I am now."Irene paused. Then, she silently scrutinized Marshall's expression.The smoke surrounding him veiled his face, shrouding his emotions in mystery.She chuckled and said in a flat tone, "It's better that you don't remember

    Wallace said, "I was just about to go up."Ariel looked at him, feeling somewhat frustrated, "Forget about it; I'll go. You should spend some time with them in the dining hall. Don't drink so much.""Okay," Wallace said.Then, Ariel went upstairs with a first aid kit.Irene watched their interaction and suddenly said, "Ariel is still as virtuous as ever."Wallace paused. When he looked up again, Irene was already going back to the dining hall.The polite and lively conversations continued, but he felt a chill spreading all over.He took a deep breath, adjusted his mood, and followed behind Irene.Keegan and Stella went to Jorgeville in the middle of the night. Then, she led him to Arthur's house in the dark. Before they could even put down their luggage, a dog came out of nowhere and barked at Keegan, pouncing toward him.At that moment, he erupted with a sudden burst of strength. He quickly lifted Stella off the ground and ran into the courtyard before he could even see the d

    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
