Keegan replied: [Do you think actors would use their ID to register a phone number for work?]'Well... he's not wrong,' Joe thought to himself.With that phone number, he found "Stella's" Twitter account, where there were indeed photos of Stella that he had not seen online before, and he immediately believed it.After all, he was still an innocent kid.'You want to be with Stella, huh? Dream on!' Keegan mocked him inwardly.Suddenly, Keegan received a message from Stella. It was a screenshot of Grace's profile on her computer along with the text: [Look at who I stole from Darcie! Impressive, right?"He chuckled and replied: [Utterly impressive! How did you do it?]Stella smiled: [Let's buy some ingredients tonight and go to Clouditude International to celebrate with Felicity and Vermont. I'll tell you the details later."Keegan texted back: [Looking forward to it.]Stella paused before she typed: [You sound too submissive. Be more arrogant.]Keegan replied: [Hmph, is this rea
Jaylene felt guilty for a moment but regained confidence shortly after thinking that Stella must have felt the same. "Those are two different things! Of course, I'll find out who leaked 'Cloud Nine.'"What I'm asking now is why you let Mrs. Esper try it when you already knew it couldn't be sold. Don't you think you're responsible for what happened earlier?"Stella chuckled. "What else could I do? Directly tell Mrs. Esper that she can't try 'Cloud Nine' and upset her? Should I just let Caline lose this client because of me? Are you mad because the story didn't unfold as you expected?"Jaylene got exposed, and her expression turned extremely unpleasant. "What are you trying to say? What does the leak have to do with me? You'd better not accuse me without any evidence!"Stella glanced at her. "Did I say that you have anything to do with the leak?"Jaylene was taken aback as her expression turned even uglier. "You're so sharp-tongued and unreasonable! I have no idea why Keegan would e
Larry walked in, closed the door behind him, and called out softly, "Hello, Ms. Hall."Stella was taken aback. Then, she asked, "Larry? Is there something you need?"Larry nodded. "Yes. Ms. Hall, today is my son's birthday, and I'd like to give him something. Could you please approve my leave? I only need two hours."Stella smiled. "Of course, but our company has a dedicated person who handles leave requests for drivers. You can look for Mr. Payton on the second floor, but I'll approve it for you this time. Next time, just go directly to him."She paused, then looked at his empty hands and asked, "Where is your leave request form?"Larry looked somewhat embarrassed as he said softly, "I was afraid that you wouldn't approve it, so I haven't filled it out yet.""You're not taking leave without reason, and there's not much for you to do now anyway. A kid only has one childhood, so spend as much time as you can with him."As she spoke, Stella printed out a leave request form from he
Stella wore stockings, and some of the hot water splashed onto them, causing a sudden burning sensation followed by a pickling pain.She then quickly pulled the stockings away from her skin.Larry was shocked. He immediately bent down to pick up the broken pieces and apologized to Stella.Stella waved her hand. "It's fine. Be careful not to cut your hand."Upon hearing the noise from the next room, Xavier rushed over, saw what happened, and checked on Stella. "Ms. Hall, are you okay?" he asked.Stella nodded. "I'm fine. Please ask the janitor to clean this up."After making sure that Stella was okay, he went out to call for the janitor.Larry held the thermos cup lid in his hand, looking a bit pale as if he had been startled.Stella rubbed the area where the hot water had splashed onto her and said to Larry, after seeing him still standing there, "Go to the back office tomorrow and get a new thermos cup. These glass ones shatter easily and are not safe to use."Then, she remem
Stella shook her head.She had asked Trevor about this before.Jaylene's full name used to be Jaylene Arnold. When Darcie first married Wenham, she did not have Saun as her last name. Later, during a parent-teacher meeting, Darcie fell ill and could not attend. So, Wenham went on her behalf.Wenham had never attended Jaylene's parent-teacher meetings before. Her teachers did not know him, so they had to find out their relationship first. That was when the teachers found out that the father and daughter had different last names.They only realized that Darcie had remarried then. Being in elementary school, the most talkative and insensitive age, Jaylene's identity as a stepdaughter quickly spread across the school.She got upset and refused to go to school. She cried and asked Wenham why Trevor had the same last name as him while hers was different. Everyone was saying that she was not Wenham's daughter.Wenham had always been a soft-hearted person. If Darcie had said it, he might
Vermont was technically chasing them out of the house.Unfortunately, Felicity did not catch on as she said, "Stella didn't even eat much. What's there to digest? What she ate could barely feed the two little ones in her belly, right Stella?"Stella blinked her eyes. "Not at all. I'm actually very full."She then turned to Keegan. "What about you, are you done?"Keegan said, "I'm stuffed."So, they said goodbye and left. Once they got into the car, Stella began complaining."Vermont is such a fake gentleman! I told him to have a baby with Felicity first so his mother-in-law would accept him, but he accused me of betraying Felicity."I thought he was a good man back then, thinking Felicity had finally found the one for herself. It turns out that everything is just a lie!"Keegan was not aware of the condition Florence came up with and was puzzled upon hearing what Stella said. After understanding the situation, he remained silent for some time.Then, he said, "He's fulfilled th
Felicity frowned. 'Is Stinky Cucumber messing with me again?'She came out of Vermont's bedroom and called out his name. However, there was no response, and he was nowhere to be seen in the house.She went to the study, pushed the door open, and heard the sound of something falling.She gazed downward and saw the study floor covered with dominoes. Her opening the door knocked down the first one, causing a chain effect that toppled the rest. When every domino fell, it revealed a huge portrait of herself on the floor.Felicity had never considered herself attractive, but her portrait on the floor had a bright smile, looking radiant and charming, with indescribably beautiful features.'Is this how I look to him?' she wondered.She blushed and thought of getting her phone out to take a picture of it. But before she could turn around, the lights in the study went out. Then, the area where her portrait was located was lit with fluorescent letters, forming two words that said "Marry Me.
Vermont took a box from the table and opened it in front of Felicity. "I bought you fifty-two of them. You can change one every day and won't be wearing the same one for a month."If you get tired of the design, we'll melt it and redesign it at a jewelry store for just a few bucks of craftsmanship fees."Felicity's face turned red in anger. "Do you think I'm a lion's mane jellyfish with a lot of tentacles? Why would I need fifty-two rings?"'This is outrageous! What's going on in his head? What exactly do I see in this stupid thing?' Felicity cursed inwardly.Vermont hugged her closely. "Aren't you touched at all? You have fifty-two rings. All of your friends will be jealous of you once you post them online."Felicity struggled and said, "I'll be laughed at! Who gets proposed to with dozens of rings? Are you crazy? Which one am I going to wear at the wedding? Should I change one every minute? What were you even thinking?"Vermont immediately came up with a silly idea. "You can st
