After collecting the money, Vermont tossed the dice to the person beside him and poured two glasses of liquor. He handed one to Marshall and sat down next to him. "Did you come from the office?"

"Yeah," Marshall responded and took a sip of the drink.

"Why are you and Ms. Thompson fighting?"

Vermont's expression instantly turned sour upon hearing Marshall's question. "We're here to have fun. Why do you have to ask about such unhappy things?"

Marshall said gently, "Ms. Thompson is a very genuine and nice person. She's younger than you, and you should be more accommodating to her."

"Am I not being accommodating enough to her?" Vermont put down his glass and spoke with a stern face. "I've had so many girlfriends; have I ever been as open and sincere with any of them as I am with her?

"I know she's a genuine person, but she spends all her effort on her friend. When does she ever care about me? She isn't even willing to bring me to meet her mother. Am I such a bad boyfriend that she ca

    Carter's eyelid twitched, and he quickly interrupted Vermont. "Have some water. Do you want me to walk you to the washroom?"Vermont pushed him away and rested his hand on Marshall's shoulder. "I really don't understand. What's so good about that woman? She got married to someone else right after breaking up with you. What exactly do you see in her?"Is it because she was pregnant with your child when that accident happened, so you've been feeling guilty and can't forget about her?"Carter had a sudden urge to stuff the dice into his mouth to shut him up. 'How come I didn't realize this guy talks so much when he's drunk? Does he even know what he's talking about right now?'However, Marshall's expression remained calm. He took a sip from his glass and calmly asked, "Who is Willow?""Do you really not remember? Why aren't you willing to get a new girlfriend and settle down if you don't?" Vermont poked his chest as he added, "When Felicity and I went shopping the other day, we bumpe

    After a while, Vermont came back.As the alcohol took its toll, Marshall leaned back on the couch. He loosened his tie with one hand and turned to Vermont, who was sprawled drunkenly on the couch with a glass of alcohol in his hand. He said, "Cheers."Carter was just like Marshall. Although they had their fair share of drinks, they were still sober.He looked at his phone and propped himself up on the couch. "I'll call a cab. Let's send Vermont home first."Before Marshall could speak, Vermont instantly said upon hearing that, "I'm not going back. If you guys are leaving, I'll just stay here tonight."Carter paused. "Stay here? Aren't you afraid that Ms. Thompson will find out?"Vermont scoffed. "So what if she did? Do you think I'm scared of her? She doesn't even want me to meet her parent. I'll just break up with her if things don't work out."His phone on the table rang as soon as he finished speaking.Carter glanced at the caller ID "miss bandit." Then, he bent down, picked

    Felicity snorted. "Quit pretending. Do you think I can't smell all the women's perfume on you?"Vermont lifted his arm and took a sniff. "Is there any?"Then, he laughed and added, "You didn't even touch me. How could you smell anything on me? Are you a dog?""Stop the nonsense. What's up with you? You pretended to be drunk when drinking with them and wanted me to call first to pick you up?"Vermont leaned back on the seat, took a bottle of water from behind, and twisted the cap open. He said, "If I hadn't been this drunk, do you think they'd let me leave?"Felicity rolled her eyes. "Why bother drinking with them then?"He thought inwardly, 'Do you think I want to? I'm only doing this for your scheming best friend.'However, he said something completely different from what he thought. "Well, I just wanted to show off that I have someone to pick me up now when I get drunk outside."Felicity shot him a disdainful look. "You're out of your mind."Vermont took a sip of water, then

    Stella swept her gaze across the three people before her and compared each of them to their submitted resumes.The youngest applicant seemed to have experience driving for corporate leaders, and he spoke somewhat arrogantly. Every time Stella asked a question, he would habitually add a sentence like "My former boss would...", which irritated her.Then, she turned to the second applicant and asked him about his preferred working hours and if he had any salary requirements. He revealed that his daily wage was above average, he was only willing to work eight hours a day, and he also requested that the company provide accommodation.Stella was fine with his request, but there was one thing she was curious about. "With such a high daily wage, why did you quit your last job?"The second applicant was taken aback as he stuttered and said that he got bored of working at the same place and wanted to change jobs.Stella glanced at the company where the second applicant previously worked and

    The man was in so much pain that he could not even get up.Stella was stunned. Then, she turned around and saw the driver she had just hired, Larry Bard.He looked calm as he stood between Stella and the man who tried to attack her.Xavier quickly stepped forward and subdued the man on the ground with the help of others."Ms. Hall, are you okay?" Aubrey hurriedly asked.Stella recollected herself and said, deeply and coldly, "Aubrey, is this the person you carefully screened? He has such unstable emotions and even a history of fraud. How could you not know about that?"Aubrey's expression stiffened before turning somewhat unpleasant. "Ms. Hall, we only checked the driver's driving experience and accident history during our previous screening. As for why they left their previous company, we don't usually delve into that.""I don't care what your previous screening is like. You're working for me now. Have I not explained myself clearly enough to you?"Aubrey paused for a long tim

    Stella nodded.She was about to say something else when Jaylene pushed the door open and said, "Ste—Ms. Hall, can you come out for a moment? I need to talk to you."So, Stella held her tongue and said to Larry, "The HR department will assist you with your onboarding. Just do whatever they ask."Then, she turned around and walked out.Larry glanced around and heard the HR manager calling him, so he went to fill out his information.Jaylene waited for Stella in the walkway. Stella walked over and asked, "What is it?"Jaylene said flatly, "Trevor's flight is arriving at eleven. Did you know?"Stella nodded."Are you going to pick him up?""Yeah," Stella responded."Let's go together then."Stella was taken aback. "You're going too?"Jaylene frowned. "What's wrong with it? He's not just your brother; he's my brother too! We lived together for more than twenty years!"Stella shrugged her shoulders. "Whatever."She did not care if Jaylene went or not. She was just a little surp

    Stella laughed. "Did Keegan tell you this?"Jaylene spoke gently, "Keegan cares a lot about the relationship between the Kane and Saun families. He also doesn't want to make things too embarrassing for you. Actually, our house isn't very far away from Royalpark Villa."If you really want to see him, it won't take long to drive there. This way, you'll get to maintain your image and not put Keegan in a tough position. What do you think?"It seemed that the flowers from the past few days had really made Jaylene feel elated, thinking that Keegan had developed feelings for her. She ordered Stella to leave the house as if she was Keegan's wife."I don't really care where I live, but initially, Keegan was the one who asked me to stay there. If he doesn't want me there anymore, let him come and tell me himself. I'll move out of the house immediately as long as he's the one that says it."Jaylene chuckled. "Stella, with how polite Keegan is, how could he possibly chase you out of his house

    Sonia nodded at Jaylene and greeted her, "Hello, Jaylene."Jaylene held her hand and took her suitcase. "Let's get in the car first. I'll take you to settle down, and then we can have a meal together."Sonia did not refuse and followed her to the car.Stella stood in place and watched the two of them walk away. Then, Trevor grabbed her wrist. "Come on, stop looking. They've known each other for a long time. Also, Sonia doesn't have many friends here, so it's normal for her to be close to Jaylene."Stella shook her head. "I'm not concerned about that. I just feel like she's too young. Is she really as capable as you say?"Trevor held her hand as they walked. "Don't underestimate Gen Z. She's definitely more capable than you think she is.""No, I'm worried that a young girl like her will be corrupted by all the cunning people in the perfume blending department. Putting someone so innocent there seems a bit risky."Trevor chuckled.Stella looked at him and asked, "What's so funny?

    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
