After Stella had bandaged his wound, Keegan had already fallen asleep.She put away the first-aid kit and pondered a bit before lying down next to Keegan.Every half an hour, Stella would get up to check Keegan's temperature. At two in the morning, Keegan's temperature finally dropped to 38 degrees. Only then did she finally breathe a sigh of relief and fall asleep as she could not stay up any longer.The next day when Keegan woke up, he felt much better, except for his shoulder, which felt like there was a heavy rock on it.He frowned and opened his eyes, wanting to push whatever was on his shoulder. But, before he could touch it, he saw Stella's sleeping face. He could not help but recall what had happened in the bathroom last night.After staring at Stella for a long time, he slowly moved his outstretched hand and moved her head aside.Keegan looked at Stella with disgust as soon as he felt the wet drool on his shoulder. He then picked up a blanket and clumsily covered her wit
"What?" Felicity did not understand what Stella meant."Well, sometimes Sophia's methods can be pretty effective," said Stella.Felicity was still trying to figure out the meaning of Stella's sentence. Soon, she saw Stella's countermove.After half an hour, Dusk Galaxy posted on Facebook, [Nothing in the world is as mean as the human heart.] Just ten minutes later, she posted again, [All work suspended indefinitely.] And ten minutes after that, she took down all of her Facebook posts and deactivated her account, quitting the platform entirely. Shortly thereafter, some netizens discovered that she had not only deactivated her Facebook account, but all of her social media accounts. Soon, the topic "Dusk Galaxy Quits Social Media" climbed to the top of the trending list in just a few minutes.Dusk Galaxy did not offer any explanation for Kelly's interview or respond to any of the netizens' questions. With just the phrase "as mean as the human heart" as her farewell message, she had co
Felicity had never thought that Stella would take this opportunity to deactivate the Dusk Galaxy account.It was a clever move. On one hand, as Dusk Galaxy, Stella portrayed herself as a victim; on the other, she withdrew at the peak of her voice-acting career. In the minds of her fans, she would be the perfect and innocent victim.If Dusk Galaxy were to return after this, it would undoubtedly cause another storm.Unfortunately, the account has ten million followers. It was a pity to just give up like that. If it were Felicity, she would not be able to let go.Felicity suddenly realized that Bella's abilities and vision were far more inferior than Stella's. 'I will never understand why Keegan Kane, that blind bastard, would choose a pile of shit over a rose.'In the office of Vinci Rivera Group, Keegan sneezed several times.Aldor quickly handed him a glass of water. "Mr. Kane, do you need to take a break?"Keegan pinched his forehead and waved his hand. "Make me a cup of coffee
Sophia was momentarily taken aback. Then, however, she followed along with the crowd, eager to see what was happening.As soon as she stepped out of the lift, she heard someone crying in the lobby. "Why are you firing me? I've been dedicated to serving the Kane family for almost twenty years. And now you're letting me go without any compensation. This is going to ruin my life! I'm going to take legal action against you!"The HR manager downstairs explained, "Ms. Lane, we tried to reach you multiple times yesterday and explained the situation. But you refused to listen and hung up on us. You didn't come to handle the procedures, nor did you come to work. So we had to mark it as an unexcused absence. If you're not satisfied, you can apply for labor arbitration. It won't help to create a disturbance here.""You're the ones who didn't want me to come here, so how can this be considered an unexcused absence? You're bullying me! I demand to speak with Mr. Kane! I want to see Keegan Kane!"
"I went to an art exhibition with Ariel. She liked a painting, so I bought it. Unfortunately, it cost a few million. So I had to borrow money from friends."Dahlia frowned, "Did Ariel accept it?""No, Ariel said it was too valuable. And I couldn't return it, so I stored it."Dahlia's mouth twitched. "Stay away from Marshall from now on.""Why?" Aurora protested. "Didn't you support me dating Marshall?""That was based on the condition that Marshall was interested in you too. Didn't you see how he avoided you at the jewelry exhibition? Now you're chasing after him. Don't you understand that?""I'll go after him no matter what it takes. There's no other woman in his life, and I'm not bad-looking. Plus, we've been friends since childhood, and Ariel likes me. So it's just a matter of time before we start dating.""If Marshall isn't interested in you, marrying him would make you miserable.""Well, dad didn't seem to like you very much at first. But you're doing fine now, aren't you?
Stella finally had a free day. After dealing with those annoying matters online, she ate something and went downstairs to read the script.Although her role was important in the entire drama series, the screen time was short. Most of her scenes were in the latter half of the series.The queen's character was less likable than the concubine's. If she followed the conventional acting methods, the impact would only be mediocre.Actors portraying antagonists often appear one-dimensional, failing to make a deep impression on the audience. Stella knew that if she wanted to use this drama series as a stepping stone for her career in showbiz, she could not afford to give a mediocre performance.She kept reviewing the classic works of those experienced actors in showbiz and repeatedly pondered the character development, gradually coming up with some ideas.Before she could savor her thoughts, Aldor's call interrupted her."Madam, Mr. Kane left a document at home, and it's urgently needed
Keegan descended the stairs and found a sizable crowd gathered downstairs. Maya sat outside the railing on the second floor, crying and pleading to the onlookers. Some snapped pictures while others chattered away.Sophia first spotted Keegan, and she promptly called out, "Mr. Kane!" Instantly, the crowd hushed and parted to make way for him.Jackson, who had someone bring him a chair to the second floor for a better view, was sitting there, sipping his coffee. When he saw Keegan, he paused and smirked. "Keegan, you finally showed up."Keegan glanced at Jackson and looked around. He said in a cold and authoritative voice, "Everyone, get back to your work!"Those few words exuded an overwhelming sense of intimidation. Then, seeing the crowd begin to disperse, Jackson spoke up, "Keegan, Maya has served our family for a long time. If you don't handle this matter fairly and transparently, even if it's resolved, people will think our company is using its power to suppress others."Maya
Keegan's face darkened.Maya thought she had the upper hand and continued to speak out, "I worked for the Kane family for sixteen years. They not only fired me but also refused to give me any compensation. I have a family to support; my husband is unemployed. They are pushing us all to the brink."Jackson chimed in, "Keegan, you are too heartless. Isn't it ruthless to treat an employee serving us for over a decade this way?"Keegan's eyes narrowed, and he spoke coldly to Maya, "I followed the contract, and I don't see anything wrong with how I handled the situation. If you're dissatisfied, you can apply for labor arbitration. Threatening me here won't change anything, and I can even sue you for slandering the company's reputation!"As Keegan spoke, he turned to Aldor and ordered, "Call the police!"Maya's arm trembled, and she began to feel anxious. Dahlia had told her to take a couple of days off and promised to talk to Keegan when he was calmer.But just one day later, Maya rec
