Larry knelt there, his shoulders drooping, making his already gaunt body look even thinner. He heard the door open and lifted his head, his eyes brightening slightly. He shuffled over to Stella and said in a hoarse voice, "Ms. Hall, please punish me."

Stella clenched her hands, her expression somewhat grim. She didn't immediately help Larry up but said sternly, "Larry, stand up."

Larry didn't move, his shoulders trembling slightly, his voice hoarse, "Ms. Hall, I’ve caused you so much trouble, and yet you still protect me. I feel so ashamed. Please punish me; I'll accept anything."

Stella closed her eyes briefly and raised her voice, "I said, stand up! Are you kneeling outside my office to make a spectacle of us?"

Larry's face turned paler. "I didn't mean to..."

"Then stand up!"

Stella had always spoken to Larry gently, considering his age, even defending him downstairs just moments ago. He had never seen her so angry.

Larry rubbed his fingers together, suddenly feeling uncertain

    "Secondly, you caused trouble during your side job. Instead of telling me right away, you let others find out and point fingers at you. If Sonia hadn't managed to concoct that bottle of essential oil today, do you realize how much responsibility you would have to bear?"Lastly, you shouldn't have knelt at my office door to beg for leniency. I really dislike people kneeling, whether it's to apologize, show remorse, or for any other reason. It's undignified and inappropriate! A person can kneel to the heavens, to their parents, or to benefactors, but we have an employer-employee relationship, and you're much older than I am. I can't accept your kneeling. To me, it feels like you're trying to force my hand."Larry couldn't speak. His face turned paler with each point Stella made, each one well-founded, leaving him no room for rebuttal. After a long pause, he finally muttered weakly, "I'm sorry."Stella pressed her lips together and after a moment said, "Choose one. I'll try to negotiat

    Darcie's office."What am I going to do with you? With so many eyes watching, you docked Wren's bonus just because she accepted a set of clothes from Stella?"Darcie, who had been holding in her anger outside, couldn’t contain it once they reached the office.Jaylene was indifferent. "Mom, she's in the finance department. She accepted something from Stella right in front of me. Doesn't that make us look bad? If I don't do anything, won't others follow suit? I was just giving them a little reminder for your sake.""A reminder?" Darcie snapped. "Over a set of clothes? Is that all the tolerance you have? When you saw Wren take something from Stella, why didn’t you find out why? She’s struggling to pay for a family member's medical treatment. If you had helped her out, not only would she have remembered your kindness forever, but others would have seen your generosity."Instead, you docked her bonus, adding insult to injury. Now, when she eats in the cafeteria, she has to endure snide

    Her voice trembled with sorrow as she spoke. "Mom, is Dad still mad at me?"When she was hospitalized after being injured by Keegan’s aunt, Wenham Saun visited her every day. But he no longer treated her with the same warmth and intimacy he had when she was a child. There was a newfound distance and coldness.She had been deceived by Dahlia because she couldn’t let go of Keegan. Wenham had already warned her once when he noticed her feelings, but she had knowingly ignored his warning. He was utterly disappointed in her.Jaylene didn’t think it was wrong to love Keegan. She believed the fault lay with Stella. If she had been lost for over twenty years, why did she have to come back and disrupt everything? Why did she have to come back and steal her father and brother?Their family of four had been so happy. Stella’s return had caused her parents to fall out of love, her brother to shift his affection toward his biological sister, and her father to no longer dote on her as he once di

    Darcie looked away and asked, “Is there power downstairs?”Someone replied, “Yes, it seems only our floor is affected.”Darcie glanced at the surveillance camera above and said calmly, “Call someone to check it out. Everyone else, go back to your workstations.”She then looked at Jaylene. “You should go too. Don’t forget to review the materials I gave you. I’ll be testing you.”Jaylene pouted and said softly, “I know, Mom.”After everyone left, Darcie glanced around and pursed her lips before heading to the stairwell.The stairwell had no windows, and there was a faint smell of smoke. The sensor light didn’t turn on, leaving the area dimly lit. As soon as Darcie entered, she saw someone standing against the wall on the stairs, holding a cigarette.She closed the stairwell door and hissed, “This is the company. Are you out of your mind?”“If I didn’t, the cameras would have caught me. How would you explain that?” The man’s voice was deep and raspy, tinged with sarcasm.Darcie’s

    The man stayed quiet until he finished his cigarette. Then Darcie spoke up again, “If you hadn't let such a big threat hang over us, Jaylene and I wouldn't be in this tough spot.”Of course, by "threat," she meant Stella.Bringing this up made the man's face darken subtly.He only found out about the fact that the baby girl hadn't died shortly before Stella was recognized by the Saun family.Back then, the woman had shown him a dead baby, claiming it was Freesia's. It turned out the baby wasn't the Saun family heiress; she had taken a dead infant from elsewhere and falsely claimed it was Freesia's.He hadn't seen his own daughter being born, but he had seen the baby who would soon replace his daughter in life. He had felt deeply guilty at the time, so much so that he didn't dare to look too much, thinking that once death was confirmed, his purpose was achieved. But he never expected that one of the people he bribed would have a soft heart.If Stella hadn't died, the Saun and the

    Stella glanced at Aldor. "You don't seem well. Have you been overworking lately? Work has calmed down, so you should take a break. If Aldor gets burned out, you'll be the one dealing with the consequences down the line."Keegan handed her the thermos. "Do I seem like the type of boss who doesn't care about my employees' well-being? If Aldor needs time off, I can grant it anytime."Aldor quickly responded, "That won't be necessary, ma'am. I'm perfectly fine and don't need time off."Normally, Keegan would have approved Aldor's leave request without hesitation, but after what had just occurred, Aldor didn't dare to ask.Keegan didn't react much when he found out about Aldor’s night fishing plans with Aurora during his call with Stella.After they hung up, just a few hundred meters later, Keegan asked, "About your night fishing... How many people are there?"Aldor replied, "There's a night fishing group, about twenty-something people. Depending on everyone's schedule, there could be

    Stella quipped.Keegan chuckled, "Worried you'll go soft, huh? Seems I was overthinking."Stella said, "I was indeed feeling a bit soft, but something just happened that made me very uncomfortable."She briefly mentioned Larry kneeling down, "I wasn't that angry before. But when I saw him kneeling outside, my temper flared up instantly. With so many people watching, I felt like he was pressuring me, so I took the opportunity to reassign him."Sighing, she continued, "Actually, on the way here, I felt a bit guilty. I wondered if I was being too harsh. He's currently short of money to get a cochlear implant for his son. His new position will surely pay less than before."Keegan patted her hand. "A cochlear implant is just an assistive device; it's not a matter of life and death. If he wants to get one for his son, there's no rush for it. But going behind your back to take on a side job, I find that hard to justify."Stella blinked, asking softly, "Do you think he's lying?"Keegan

    Stella glanced up and saw Trevor sitting in the Bentley next to them, glancing their way.Their car windows were closed, so Trevor couldn't see much, but he recognized Keegan's car. Since they hadn't gotten out of the car for a while, Trevor figured Keegan was up to no good.Hearing Trevor's voice, Keegan let go of Stella's hand, straightened up, and tidied her clothes, sitting upright.Aldor had a vague feeling like he was seeing his own future mistakes.Trevor got out of the car, wearing a khaki casual jacket and black pants, his hairstyle and demeanor reminiscent of Leighton Hall's. With sunglasses hanging from his nose, lips slightly pursed, broad shoulders and long legs, he looked both suave and commanding.Previously, they didn't think he looked much like Leighton, but now, dressed like this, wearing sunglasses, if someone unfamiliar saw him, they'd probably mistake him for Leighton. They were too alike.Stella got out of the car, carrying her bag, and walked toward Trevor,

    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
