Keegan glanced at Stella and said, "No. What happened?"

As Stella shuffled the playing cards, she recounted, "During my SAT, Sophia was gearing up for her high school entrance exam. Since we were both at boarding school, we only went home every two or three weeks. Most of our time on campus was spent studying. When holidays rolled around, I just wanted to kick back and relax, but not Sophia."

Even during semester breaks, Sophia would return home with a stack of hefty reference books and practice exams. She would dive into her studies after meals and recite vocabulary words every morning before dawn.

Back then, Sophia told Albert that she wanted to get into Rivera High just like Stella.

Albert was thrilled to hear that. He praised Sophia's diligence to everyone he met, boasting about her academic achievements.

But when it came to Stella, he always said, "All she does during school break is play. She never picked up a single book."

Stella used to argue back, but eventually, she sto

    One of Stella's classmates joked, "What? Did you have a baby? You were the first to get married in our class. Your kid must be running around by now, right?""Yeah. They stick to me like glue," Stella chuckled."You're not very thoughtful, you know. You got married without even telling us, sneaking off like that.""Oh, come on. We had just graduated back then, and none of us had much money. How could I have the heart to tell everyone? I couldn't just let you guys spend on me," Stella replied.Everyone laughed upon hearing that. "After we're done visiting Luanna, let's all hang out. Bring your husband along, too. I want to see who managed to snag our class's beauty."Stella put her hands together and begged, "Please spare me, everyone. My husband isn't anything special. He just runs a small business to make ends meet. He's decent-looking, but he's got a temper. If I bring him, and he says something unpleasant, all of you will think twice about inviting me out again.""Stop pretend

    Stella paused and turned around.Marshall had a coat on, carrying a briefcase. His hair was slightly tousled as if he had just rushed over.He nodded at Stella, walked to the bed, and said to Lina, "Ms. Saab, you shouldn't act so rashly. Luanna is already declared dead. Once someone looks it up, you'll be exposed. You might even be sued for fraud."Lina was somewhat agitated. "Then what should I do? You said the suicide note can't be used as direct evidence and that we need something more. How am I supposed to do that?"I'm not familiar with anyone around her, so this is the only thing I can do! Do you expect me to just watch those who killed my sister walk free?"Marshall said, "You can call the police."Lina scoffed. "When Luanna was still alive, all the anonymous tip-offs she sent were ignored. After she was exposed online, her accounts were locked before she could clarify anything."If calling the police worked, would she be dead? Would she be dead?!"Stella lowered her gaz

    Keegan suggested sarcastically, "I think you should just join them."Aldor was speechless.Then, he texted Aurora: [I bought you a cup of coffee. Come over now.]After that, he sent her the location of the café.Marshall was about to order Stella a cup of coffee, but she waved her hand, saying, "It's okay. Let's get straight to the point. I have something to attend to shortly. I won't stay for long."Marshall paused, ordered a latte for himself, and lifted his gaze. "How has Keegan been lately? Is he starting to remember anything yet?"Stella shook her head. "Still the same. The doctor suggested trying hypnotherapy. Mr. Moore, do you happen to know any reputable hypnotherapists?"Marshall nodded. "I did meet one when I was undergoing treatment abroad. I'll forward you his contact information later."He looked indifferent as he spoke, showing no signs of anything unusual.Stella smiled. "Sure, thank you."The waiter brought over a glass of water. Stella took a sip of it and lo

    The pain and sadness in Marshall's eyes felt too genuine. If the same thing happened in the past, Stella would have surely blamed herself for saying such things.He had helped her so much during her most difficult times, such as before and after her divorce from Keegan. She would still consider him a friend even if he were not Keegan's childhood friend.However, when she realized that Marshall might have something to do with the kidnapping, she could not bring herself to trust a word he said anymore.Stella closed her eyes, trying to calm herself down. After a while, she said, "I'm sorry. I was just too shocked."Marshall lowered his gaze and asked hoarsely, "Stella, did you find the days I spent with you when Keegan went missing repulsive?"Stella pursed her lips. After a long pause, she said, "I'm very grateful for your help during that time, and I feel ashamed for using you to force Keegan to come back. I only lashed out at you because I was worried that he might be involved in

    It was not until Keegan took the watering can from Stella's hand that she regained her senses."I'm back," Keegan said.He sat down next to her and asked in a low voice, "Is everything okay?"Stella said, "Keegan, have you been to The Hox Club?"Keegan's expression remained calm. "Do you want to know if I have anything to do with Luanna's death?"Stella frowned. "Of course, I know it has nothing to do with you. I just want to know what you were doing there at that time. Be honest and tell me everything. We've got to plan our next step very carefully."Stella finally figured everything out after listening to Keegan. He had mentioned before that Luanna looked familiar, probably because he had seen her once in the club.However, it was perfectly normal that he could not remember her immediately as it was just a passing encounter. What Stella was worried about now was that Luanna's case might involve him.The photo was like a time bomb. Even if he had nothing to do with it, there w

    Stella paused then said, "Are you saying that Lina has other intentions?"Keegan shook his head. "Not necessarily her, but it could be someone else who directed her to Marshall."Keegan figured that if Marshall wanted to use this matter against him, he would not have waited until now.Marshall had yet to find out what exactly happened back then, and he would not act so recklessly. That was just not his way of doing things."Why would that person lead Lina to seek Marshall's help for this case? Who could be behind it, and what's their purpose?" After listening to Keegan's speculation, Stella felt even more confused.Keegan thought for a moment and lifted his gaze, saying, "Marshall is different from other lawyers. He has the Moore family behind him, so he dares to take on cases that others wouldn't. Maybe that person saw this as an opportunity."'That person was probably worried that Marshall wouldn't agree to help, so they used this photo as bait to lure him in. It seems possible

    Carter sounded a little irritated. "Can you check the time before you call? Just because you don't have a wife, do you think others don't as well?"Keegan said inwardly, 'I do, and even two kids!'He swallowed the urge to brag and cleared his throat before saying, "Hey, Carter. I'm sorry to disturb you at this hour, but I need a favor."Carter was puzzled at how polite Keegan was.Then, he pursed his lips and asked, "What is it?""Can you hack into Lena's office system and help me check—"Carter ended the call before Keegan could finish speaking. He called again, but it went straight to voicemail.Meanwhile, Carter shoved his phone into the drawer, not wanting to look at it at all.Upon hearing the footsteps from the bathroom, he immediately unbuttoned his shirt, pulled back the blanket, and slipped inside. Then, he grabbed a book from the table and pretended to read it.After Lena dried her hair, she lifted the blanket and sat on the bed. Then, she picked up her phone to chec

    Carter pressed his temple, saying, "Keegan Kane, are you ever going to ask me to help you with something legal? I'm going to end up in prison sooner or later because of you!"'What an asshole! He can act like a law-abiding gentleman in public because he has me handling every illegal thing for him!' he cursed inwardly.Keegan said, "I'm sorry, but there's no other way. You're the only person who can help me with this."Then he added, "Only you can openly invade their system and help fix their bug. You hacked so many fraudulent websites and helped the police dismantle so many scam centers. If a person like you gets punished for doing something like this, that just shows that the law is not perfect enough."Carter was not fooled by this flattery as he angrily said, "Shut up! I don't want to hear you talk right now!"Keegan needed a favor, so he immediately did as Carter said.Carter was still annoyed as he asked with a tense face, "Why did you say those things to Lena?"Keegan answ

    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
