With a stern face, Stella glared at Keegan as she thought, 'I knew he'd never hire a good-looking man to be my assistant. He was just messing with me last night!'Although Samuel had an average appearance, he was very eloquent. He answered fluently about the entertainment industry, the job responsibilities of a celebrity's assistant, and Stella's acting experiences.Clearly, Keegan had trained him before he took the job. He was a very smart and sharp young man.On the day Wenham and Darcie's flight arrived, Stella and Trevor went to pick them up.The airport was crowded with people. Stella stood by the car and looked around with her eyes squinted. Soon, she saw Wenham, wearing sunglasses, dragging two large suitcases out from the airport while Darcie followed behind him with a tiny suitcase and an expensive handbag.Darcie dressed elegantly and exuded a refined air, looking completely different from the old photos, in which she stood next to Freesia in plain attire that almost ble
At first, Stella did not know that Darcie was going to meet Grace.However, before going to bed last night, Olivia called her and talked to her about this.Of course, Darcie was not going to give up on such a big client like Grace just like that.She had asked Jessie Keller, also known as Mrs. Depp, to persuade Grace to meet her. Jessie was Grace's good friend; her eldest daughter's wedding was also held at a venue owned by Olivia.Olivia was everyone's friend and particularly good at business. She decorated the wedding venue exceptionally well, which gave her something to brag about among her friends.Later on, Jessie also organized her grandson's birthday, company team-building activities, and family reunions at Olivia's properties. So, they became closer to each other over time.If Darcie were to call Jessie directly and ask for her help, Jessie would not necessarily be willing to intervene because she had proposed a marriage between her youngest son and Jaylene before, but Da
Stella snapped out of her thoughts and looked at Wenham with a puzzled expression. "What's wrong, Dad?"Wenham said, "When you smile like that, it reminds me of your mother when she was pregnant with you. She would smile at me like that whenever she got mad. Then, she'd make me tie a watermelon around my belly and do house chores while joking that I looked like a frog. I'm traumatized."Stella was speechless.Trevor laughed out loud. "It's because you teased her about having spots on her face. She wanted you to experience the feeling of pregnancy and being called unattractive."Wenham got confused. "But I said that the spots were cute. I guess us men can never figure out what women think, huh?"Stella imagined the scene of Wenham getting tortured by Freesia and could not help but laugh. 'It seems like I got my traits from my mom, huh?'In Vinci Rivera, Jaylene was speaking to the receptionist with a lot of things in her hands. She had not made an appointment, and the receptionist
The receptionist rolled their eyes and looked at Jaylene.Jaylene's eyes were filled with malice, as if saying, "Just wait. You're finished."The receptionist kept a straight face.Aldor said, "Ms. Saun, please hand over what you brought to the receptionist. Mr. Kane is meeting clients, and neither of us is in the office."Jaylene paused, and then her expression turned ugly. "If Keegan is not in the office, why did the receptionist keep asking me if I made an appointment? What's the point of having an appointment if he's not even around? What kind of people did you hire?"Aldor said flatly, "Many people need to see Mr. Kane every day. I can't imagine what would happen if the receptionist just let everyone in."Jaylene's face turned even redder in anger as she said to herself, 'Aldor, I'll get you back when I finally get together with Keegan!'However, she needed a favor from him now, so she had no choice but to swallow her displeasure and say in a low voice, "Aldor, I apologize
Darcie did not believe Jaylene at first. "Stella said you met her in the morning and told her that you would drive to the airport alone. Why didn't she mention that you were sick?"Jaylene cursed Stella for being nosy and continued with her lie, "Why would Stella be so kind as to tell you about me? She would be more than happy if I didn't go pick Dad up, so he'd be upset with me."Then, she coughed again before continuing, "Mom, I'm really at the hospital now. Check my location if you don't believe me. I didn't mean to ignore your calls. I'm just feeling too unwell. I put my phone on silent and forgot about it."Darcie looked at the location Jaylene had sent her and began believing her words. She then briefly asked about her condition. Jaylene said, "I'm still waiting for the doctor to see me."Darcie said in a deep voice, "Come over here immediately once you're done. I'll give you a maximum of forty minutes. I'm going to meet Mrs. Esper today because you messed up, so you'd better
One could imagine how happy Aaron was when he heard those words. He thought that Jaylene must have had feelings for him but had not realized it yet.He was not officially dating that girl yet, so he decisively rejected her and became Jaylene's "best friend," hoping to win her over in the future.When Jaylene was abroad, she had many admirers, but Aaron always believed that he was different from them. Although she rejected him, she was still extremely nice to him.She gave him birthday gifts, took leave to take care of him when he was sick, and even shared intimate moments with him.He even had Jessie find out if the Saun family was interested in matching them up. However, once Jaylene found out about it, she ignored him for a month. After that, Aaron did not dare to bring it up again.He figured Jaylene might be concerned about the status difference between their families, which was why she hesitated to be his girlfriend.When Jaylene returned home last year, Aaron still had a ye
Jaylene paused as her expression darkened momentarily, but she quickly put a smile back on and asked softly, "Keegan, did you remember something?"Keegan massaged his temples as he frowned and said in a hoarse voice, "My head hurts..."Jaylene noticed that he was resisting something mentally and quickly grabbed his arms to stop him. "Keegan, don't think about it if your head hurts. It'll stop hurting once you stop thinking about it."Keegan pushed her away and said sternly, "Don't touch me!"Jaylene was startled. At that moment, she thought that Keegan had regained his memory and started panicking. Suddenly, she remembered something and quickly took out a bottle of medicine from her bag, put two pills in the tea, and handed it to Keegan."Keegan, drink this. It'll relieve the pain," she said.Aldor's expression changed, and he rushed toward the private room.Keegan, unable to bear the intense pain, drank it all in one gulp.Jaylene played the tune used during the hypnosis in Ke
Jaylene paused, lifted her gaze, and saw Grace and Darcie standing in front of her with a suspicious expression. She was bewildered, not knowing why they would be at Cotton Rose Restaurant. 'Aren't they supposed to be at The Deli?' she wondered.Grace wore a mocking expression as she glanced at the stern-faced Darcie with a smirk. "Your daughter said she's sick, but instead of going to the hospital, she looked for a man to take care of her. It seems like she can't live without throwing herself at a man, huh?"If she's not interested in marrying into the Depp family, you can just say so. There's no need to lie to Aaron and make him foolishly wait for nothing!"Grace's demeaning words immediately made Darcie's expression sour, but she suppressed her anger. Just as she was about to speak, Keegan, who was standing next to Jaylene, beat her to it."Madam, please show some respect in your words. Jaylene only came here to bring me some tea. Please do not say such things about her," Keegan
