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
When Jessie and Aaron heard the commotion on the walkway, they thought something bad had happened. So, they stood up and walked outside. But as soon as they opened the door, they heard what Jaylene had just said, and Jessie's expression immediately darkened.When Darcie saw Jessie and Aaron appearing at the walkway, she suddenly felt the urge to disown Jaylene right there and then.'I can't believe how stupid my daughter is!' Darcie thought to herself.Then, Jaylene heard someone shouting angrily from behind. "You little wretch! Who are you calling fat and ugly?!"Jaylene paused, turned around, and saw Jessie with an angry expression and Aaron looking pale.Aaron was not really fat, but his face was somewhat round. His build was sturdy but did not look bloated. His features were very delicate; if Stella had been there, she would have immediately noticed that his eyes looked very much like Keegan's.Keegan was a very attractive man. Jackson, who looked just a bit like him, attract
After saying that, Grace went back to the private room, grabbed her handbag, and left.Jaylene held her face as her eyes turned red.Keegan handed a tissue to her and whispered, "Are you okay?"She felt a lump in her throat, and tears welled up in her eyes.Darcie, who stood next to them, lost control of her emotions and pushed Keegan away.Keegan lost his balance, stumbled, and hit himself against the wall. Then, his face turned pale as he winced in pain.Jaylene became anxious. "Mom! What are you doing?"Aldor, who had just "coincidentally" settled the bill, saw what happened and rushed over to help Keegan. "Mrs. Saun, what is this all about?" he spoke in a slightly angry tone.Jaylene looked distressed and wanted to check on Keegan. However, before she could get any closer, Darcie slapped her in the same spot where Jessie had just hit her. "If you dare to walk over there, I'll disown you and never want to see your face ever again!"Darcie slapped her hard. She had slapped J
'It's about time, but Keegan still hasn't called,' Stella wondered to herself.She got a bit worried and could not help but think if their plan had failed.So, she called Keegan. After a while, the call connected, but Aldor answered. "Mrs. Kane, it's me."Stella was taken aback. "Where's Keegan?""Mr. Kane..." Aldor paused momentarily, then said under Keegan's intimidating gaze, "To make the act more convincing, Mr. Kane drank a couple more drinks and got drunk."Stella got a little concerned. "Is he okay?"Aldor said, "He's fine. He drank some tea and will probably sober up in two hours. The plan worked very well. Mrs. Esper and Mrs. Depp left the restaurant angrily. When Mr. Kane wakes up, he'll tell you all the details.""Okay," Stella said but was still somewhat worried about her husband, who had an extremely low alcohol tolerance. "Where is he now? I'll go check on him.""That won't be a good idea. Mrs. Saun looked at Mr. Kane strangely when she left just now. I'm worried
With red eyes, Jaylene said, "What about you? You tried to arrange a marriage between me and Aaron without even telling me. Are you giving your daughter away for the sake of your career and client?"Darcie was furious. "Sometimes I really wonder if you have a brain or not. It was just a simple meal. How was I giving you away? Do you realize what year it is now? Could I possibly hold a knife to your back and force you to marry Aaron?"If I didn't do this, do you think Mrs. Esper would agree to meet us? She and Mrs. Depp are good friends, and she treats Aaron like her own son. Aaron has feelings for you; if you'd just played along with me, I could've definitely won Mrs. Esper back as my client!"But what did you do? You offended both of them at the same time! Do you know how many ongoing projects the Esper family has with our company? Mrs. Esper is only going to deal with Stella now. Do you realize how much money we're going to lose?"Jaylene muttered while still crying, "Even so, th
'Keegan Kane... Keegan Kane...' As Darcie thought to herself, an idea suddenly popped into her head.As soon as Jaylene got out of the car, she started crying. She called Keegan, but Aldor picked up, saying that Keegan was drunk and resting at the office. After a brief pause, he added, "Ms. Saun, after you left today, Mr. Kane told me he won't answer your calls anymore."If there's an emergency, you can contact me. After all, you have saved his life. He doesn't want your relationship with Mrs. Saun to be affected because of him."He ended the call after saying that.Jaylene called again, and sure enough, there was no answer.Her heart broke. Suddenly, an unsaved number called her. She answered it, and the person on the other end asked, "Is this Jaylene Saun, Ms. Saun?"Jaylene responded with a hoarse voice, "Who are you?"She had just cried, so her voice carried a heavy nasal tone. The person on the other end hesitated for a moment before asking softly, "...Ms. Saun, did you cry
He rolled down the window and called out, "Ms. Saun." Jaylene lifted her head and met his gaze.Then, she noticed the Toyota Corolla he was driving, worth over a hundred thousand. She furrowed her brows slightly and asked, "Why did you come in this car?"Larry Bard explained, "This is my own car. Ms. Hall is resting today, so I didn't use her car."Jaylene felt somewhat disdainful, but in the end, she didn't say anything. She put away her phone, opened the back door, and got in.The car was neatly organized inside. Though a bit cramped, the comfort level was just acceptable to her. There was also a car perfume inside. It was their company’s product; one that was not considered cheap. Among this series of car perfumes, it was her favorite.She couldn't help but size up Larry. Could this poor-looking guy afford it?It must have been a gift from Stella Hall, that hypocritical woman, trying to win people's hearts. With this thought, she labeled Stella as "hypocritical" once again.L
