Stella marveled to herself, "Wow, he's quite something! That nose, those eyes, and that mouth seem tailor-made for me! With looks like his, he could easily rival Keegan when he was in his twenties. If there's any flaw, it's probably that he's too perfect, which gives off a slightly artificial vibe, like his eyes lack sincerity."

Keegan had the kind of looks that made her fall for him at first sight, especially those expressive eyes; this one was almost there.

Skimming through the resume briefly, she noted: “Skylar Sadler, 28 years old, local to Rivera, master's graduate, works at Semiconductor Technology in chip design. Isn't that Keegan's company?"

Stella replied, "Auntie, please give me his WhatsApp. I'd like to chat with him."

Immediately, Prosperous Blossoms sent Skylar's WhatsApp to her.

A few minutes later, Keegan received a friend request, and the profile picture was all too familiar—it was his wife, who was pregnant but not entirely honest.

He accepted her friend request

    Stella asked, "Mr. Sadler, would you be interested in joining a singles group I'm part of? It's a community of young people, where everyone's profiles are transparent, and we can chat openly. Later, when we arrange social events, you can come along and see if you're interested."Keegan was confused. With a "nothing ventured, nothing gained" mentality, Keegan replied, "Sure."So Stella added him to a WhatsApp group named "Socializing Group Seven."Upon entering, the group flooded the chat with "Welcome, newcomer," giving him a warm reception.Keegan was pleasantly surprised and responded with an emoji. Then, the group leader—his restless wife—@mentioned everyone with an announcement.The announcement contained personal introductions of every group member, except him.As Keegan scrolled through, he noticed he was the only male among nine members, with all the others being girls, and everyone worked at Caline.While Keegan was still processing this, girls in the group had already

    Feeling overwhelmed by the female spirits of the group and unwilling to lie or provoke his wife's ire, Keegan opted for honesty and spilled the beans about the entire situation.Stella's expression turned stern. "So you believe I'm secretly going on blind dates behind your back? That’s why you added me on a fake account, trying to catch me cheating?"Keegan promptly refuted, "Absolutely not! How could you ever doubt me?""Then why did you use a fake account to deceive me?"Keegan whispered, "Aunt Jacobsen mentioned you added seven or eight blind date candidates, and I was just curious why."Impatiently, Stella retorted, "What else could I do? Didn't you see? I'm contemplating replacing you!"Keegan, acknowledging his fault, softly apologized, "Stella, I genuinely didn't doubt you. I was just envious. Your uncle and aunt suggested so many blind date candidates for you, and I realized they don't favor me much. It hurt my feelings."Stella's anger was calmed by his admission, espec

    "I don't, but Aldor does. Initially, he found all the blind date candidates for your brother. Whether they were teachers, doctors, or civil servants, he had them, all the types that are popular in the blind date market."Stella's eyes lit up. "Then ask Aldor to find some for me. Between the ages of 25 and 35, no history of marriage, stable job, decent appearance, just send them all my way! Once it’s done,' I'll give Aldor a big red packet!"Keegan, with a smirk in his eyes, replied, "I'll talk to him later."Aldor Hart, who inexplicably kept sneezing while making amendments on a document for Aurora Kane, suddenly felt a foreboding sensation creeping up his spine. He suddenly felt the urge to take a vacation.Glancing at the time, Stella whispered, "Wait for me after work today. I'll take you somewhere."Keegan asked, "Is it for my birthday?"Stella exclaimed, feigning annoyance, "Oh, come on! You're unbelievable! Even if you know, at least pretend you don't! There's no sense of a

    This question was indeed quite bold, especially after Wren had "betrayed" her.Stella understood why Wren didn’t pursue the issue when she stood up for her. For a girl with no background and a seriously ill family member, this job was crucial. If she didn't accept the olive branch offered by Darcie Arnold, she would be seen as ungrateful, and her future in the company would become increasingly difficult.Stella knew Wren had her reasons, but she couldn't help feeling hurt. She wanted to say, "What does that have to do with you?" but seeing the cautious look in Wren's eyes, she couldn't help but remember the time she found Wren crying in the bathroom because she couldn't afford her grandmother's medical bills.Having experienced such helpless moments herself, Stella couldn't bring herself to say anything too harsh. However, she wasn’t ready to forgive Wren easily either, so she responded with a cold "Hmm."Wren's eyes dimmed. She seemed to want to say something else, but the elevato

    Stella said coldly, "I'm not Jaylene. Don't try your flattery on me, and don't blame me if my words get harsh."Julia's face turned a mix of green and white. Her lips trembled, but she couldn't get a word out.The elevator arrived at the seventh floor, and Wren, Julia, and the others stepped out. Stella, expressionless, closed the elevator doors.Once the doors were fully shut, Julia looked up, her face openly showing her resentment. "She just got lucky being born into the right family. People call her Ms. Hall and she really thinks she's something!"A colleague quietly cautioned, "Stop it, someone might hear you."Julia dismissed the warning, "Let them hear! Everyone in the company knows Caline belongs to Ms. Arnold. We're just humoring Stella by calling her Ms. Hall. Even Wren knows who to listen to. Doesn't she get it?"The colleagues exchanged glances but said nothing.Last month's paychecks showed that employees in Stella's department received a bit more money. The surprisi

    Kiara Lark was the one who stepped in, having just finished her business and witnessing the scene."What are you doing? Fighting in the company?"Julia, still fuming, pushed Kiara away. "Stay out of this. I'm teaching this ungrateful wretch a lesson for Ms. Hall!"Wren refused to back down. "Stop using Ms. Hall as a shield! You just want to play both sides, and now that Ms. Hall isn't buying it, you're taking it out on me!"Julia, fearing that Jaylene might hear this, retorted angrily, "Who's playing both sides? You ungrateful wretch! You're the one taking money from Ms. Hall while benefiting from Ms. Arnold! Isn't that true?"Wren responded coldly, "I'll say it again, I didn't take Ms. Hall's money. Keep slandering me, and I'll call the police."Kiara tried to mediate, "Alright, both of you, calm down. We're all colleagues here. Is this really necessary?"Julia, emboldened by her aunt Aubrey's position as Darcie's confidant, was used to bullying weaker colleagues like Wren. Wre

    Wren didn't say anything more and turned to leave, carrying her files.As Stella left the company, she ran into Larry Bard. He had become a security guard, responsible for company security and occasionally helping park cars. When Stella saw him, he was frowning at his phone. He looked up alertly as someone approached, meeting Stella's indifferent gaze.Larry was taken aback and awkwardly greeted her, "Ms. Hall."Stella responded, "They transferred you here?"Larry nodded.Stella said nothing more. She didn't ask if he was adapting well or if he was doing a good job. As Keegan had advised, she had to let go of the urge to help others; everyone has their own fate, and she had done all she could.She waited with her hands in her coat pockets for Samuel Herston to bring the car from the underground parking lot. Larry stood nearby, fidgeting with his fingers. After a while, he mustered the courage to approach her. "Ms. Hall, this is a drawing my son made. He asked me to give it to you

    Stella suddenly got a strange feeling about Larry.Here was a guy with just a middle school education, yet he had impeccable handwriting. He had a wife with mental health issues and a son with hearing impairment, and he was the sole provider for the family. And yet, he somehow managed to afford his son's lessons in painting and calligraphy. Instead of cutting back on his son's expenses to save for a cochlear implant, he took on extra jobs on the side, even if it meant risking his main job.Stella had seen parents sacrifice and scrimp to give their kids the best education, but something about Larry's situation didn't sit right with her. She couldn't quite put her finger on it.Even as she met up with Keegan, her brow stayed furrowed. When Samuel finished his shift and went home, Aldor took over driving duties. Keegan tossed his jacket onto the front seat and joined Stella in the back."What's up? You look troubled," Keegan asked, buckling his seatbelt.Stella shook her head. "It's

    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
