Wren seemed a bit bashful, clasping her hands as she spoke in a subdued tone, "This is the medical bill for my grandmother's treatment at the hospital. Ms. Lark arranged to cover it for me earlier. It's a hundred thousand, and the password is six zeros."

Stella didn't reply immediately. Instead, she set down her pen and inquired, "Where did you get the money from?"

Wren remained silent.

Stella calmly stated, "If this money wasn't obtained through legal means, even if I accept it, it would still need to be returned."

Wren hurriedly responded, "It's nothing illegal. I applied for a consumer loan from the company."

One of the perks at Caline was a consumer loan with a very low interest rate, approximately around three percent for three years.

However low the interest rate might be, it still needed to be repaid, and Wren was already under significant financial pressure, making it worse.

Stella lightly ran her fingers over the mouse on the desk and suddenly asked, "Are you afraid tha

    The face was unremarkable, easily forgotten, but the eyes beneath the surface sent chills down her spine.Instinctively, she took a step back, accidentally bumping into a vase on the ground, making the vase emit a light sound, pulling her back to reality.Stella also heard the noise and instinctively looked at her. Wren quickly lowered her head and said, "I'm sorry, Ms. Hall."Her voice trembled slightly, but it wasn't noticeable, and Stella didn't pick up on it."It's okay." Stella handed the signed documents to Wren. "Go ahead, it's signed."Wren took them, hugged them tightly, gave a slight bow to Stella, and turned to leave.As she closed the door, she glanced at the driver again. Sensing something, he also looked toward the door. She quickly lowered her eyes, pulled the door shut, and walked away.Wren held the documents, her mind blank, feeling somewhat lost. She clenched her hands tightly, leaving uneven creases on the papers. In a daze, she collided with someone, and the

    Jaylene felt a bit perplexed. Darcie had been adamantly against it before, and the two had argued over it countless times. Suddenly, a sense of relief washed over her, and Jaylene even wondered if she had misheard.After a while, she realized what had happened and exclaimed joyfully, "Mom, are you really okay with this?"Darcie replied impatiently, "What's the point in me opposing? Have you ever listened to me once? You practically treat me like an enemy!""Mom, are you really not tricking me?" Jaylene asked again to confirm.Darcie sighed, "What parent can outsmart their child in this world? Look at how tangled up you've gotten over Keegan and still refuse to stop. What else can I do?"Jaylene hugged Darcie, brimming with joy. "Mom, it was all my fault before. I just love Keegan too much. You can rest assured that as long as you don't oppose me loving Keegan, I'll listen to you from now on."Darcie gently patted her back, her eyes clear. "Don't get too excited yet. Remember the

    After reaching out to several sources, Jaylene finally received an update: the watch wasn't available in stock, but if she didn't mind waiting, it could be obtained in seven days. However, there was a chance to acquire one sooner; a customer in Bostown wanted to return a watch today, so if she needed it urgently, she could opt for that one.Bostown was just a short distance from Rivera and could be reached by tonight.The manager on the phone informed her, "You're the second customer today inquiring about this watch. Lacey mentioned that you're her good friend, so I'm prioritizing your request. If you're ready to make the purchase, I'll arrange to obtain the watch for you immediately."Curious, Jaylene asked, "Who was the other person inquiring about this watch?""Sorry, Ms. Saun, we respect the customer's privacy and can't disclose that information," the manager replied.Without much thought, she knew it must have been Stella.Feeling a sense of satisfaction, Jaylene thought to

    Stella's interest was piqued. "Who?"Keegan handed her the phone. "My 'mistress'."That single sentence nearly caused Vermont's brain to overheat on the other end of the line."What in the world are you talking about?" Stella glanced at Keegan, and from his expression, she could sense his "appreciation", instantly feeling relieved.Excitedly, Vermont burst out, "What's going on with you two? How can you acknowledge your mistress so boldly in front of your wife?"Ignoring Vermont's outburst, Stella decided to investigate the situation a bit. Instead of replying to Jaylene's message, she asked, "Jaylene, is your injury better now? Are you still in pain?"Keegan's eyelid twitched. "That’s too much! Am I the kind to be so cheesy?"Reflecting on it, Stella deleted the "are you still in pain" part.Still unsatisfied, Keegan said, "Don't make it sound so intimate. When I met Mrs. Esper last time, I made it clear I wouldn't contact her again. If she sees this, she'll think I've loosene

    Jaylene figured Keegan must still be grappling with what went down at Cotton Rose Restaurant earlier, uncertain how to face her. And after she got hurt by his aunt later, he must be feeling particularly guilty, hence his careful consideration of his replies.Glancing at the message box, Keegan asked, "What did you reply?"With irritation, Stella responded, "Nothing seems to satisfy you. How am I supposed to know what to say? I'm clueless."Before the words could settle, Jaylene's message popped up. "Keegan, about what happened at the restaurant that day, my mom was being pushy. I understand why you replied like that; you had no choice. I don't blame you."Stella and Keegan exchanged looks, both falling silent.The other party had maneuvered themselves successfully; there was no need for further debate.Stella replied, "How's your health? I'm sorry about the Crosby family matter."Jaylene became more certain that Keegan's lack of recent contact was due to this, and quickly replie

    Keegan was puzzled, but he got up and handed it to her anyway.Stella took it and whispered, "Turn around, face away from me, and put your hands behind your back."Keegan instantly realized what she had in mind.After giving Stella a deep look, he obediently turned around, clasping his hands behind his back.Excitedly, Stella securely tied Keegan's hands with the belt.After practicing how to tie belts for so long, it finally came in handy today.Once she finished tying, Stella told him to turn back around.Following the same posture as before, Keegan knelt in front of her with his hands behind his back.Having just showered, his hair was still damp, casually swept back with his hand. He slightly bowed his head, with a few strands falling over his face, partially obscuring his expression, revealing only his deeply submissive eyes. Stella felt her heart skip a beat.No wonder everyone enjoys seeing a man in a suit kneeling; it's just too tempting!"Do you like it?" Keegan aske

    She cleared her throat, her tone firm. "What's the question? Hurry up and say it; I want to sleep after you're done."Keegan whispered, "You said you like it when you don't want to, but I insist. What if halfway through, you get angry and no longer want to? I can't tell if you really don't want to or if you're pretending, and then if I do something wrong, what do I do?"Stella asked, "Why would I suddenly get angry?" Keegan said. "Look, you're angry right now, even though we were just flirting. You always get angry without warning."Stella was speechless.She rolled over, glaring at Keegan as she began to argue with him. "Are you saying I get angry easily?"Keegan shook his head. "I'm afraid of doing something wrong and mistaking your unwillingness for willingness. What if I really hurt you?"Stella snorted. "If I really didn't want it, I'd bite you!"Keegan seemed to understand. The next second, his hands, which had already been untied, pressed down on her wrists, and he lowe

    Keegan had always been considerate in bed, rarely causing her any discomfort. It wasn't exactly disappointment; it was just that sometimes she had some curious thoughts.But with Keegan pressing her at this moment, Stella felt embarrassed. She pulled the blanket over her head and muttered, "Let's just sleep!"Keegan chuckled softly, pulling her into his arms along with the blanket. Teasing her in a low voice, he said, "Let's hold off on sleeping; we need to have a chat about this. How else will I know how to keep you happy in the future?"Drawing closer to her ear, he deliberately called out, "Stella, Stella? Explain it to me clearly."Explain what? Was she out of her mind, teaching him how to please her?Keegan teased her for a while before turning over to lie on his back, slowly beginning to talk to her. "Today, I scrolled through the Facebook posts on my alternate account. I never realized how immature I used to be."Stella snorted, "You've always been a big kid, even your onl

    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
