Aldor returned, and Marshall came into the room with him.Stella was surprised to see Marshall. "Mr. Moore, what are you doing here?" she asked."I have a meeting with Keegan to talk about work stuff," Marshall replied kindly.He added, "Are you waiting for Keegan to finish work?""Who wants to wait for him to finish?" Stella pouted.She didn't want to talk about her issues with Keegan, so she changed the subject."Do you still have work stuff to do together?""Kind of," Marshall said without going into detail since it was work-related.Aldor checked his phone for a text message, then looked up and said, "Mrs. Kane, can you keep Mr. Moore company? I need to go to the conference room."Stella waved her hand. "Of course, go ahead."As Aldor left, Stella offered Marshall a cup of tea. "Have some tea, Mr. Moore," she said kindly.Marshall thanked her but didn't take a sip."Don't you like tea? Would you prefer some coffee?" Stella inquired."It's not that I don't like tea; I o
"You looked that up?" Marshall asked, amused. "My colleague at work put that together. It might be a bit exaggerated."'While some things might be exaggerated, all those journal articles and college degrees are real. Marshall is so impressive, it's almost unbelievable.' at the thought of that, she grinned, "Since it's right there on the website, let's just consider it all real. And if it's not, we'll work hard to make it real."Marshall grinned back. "Deal. I'll give it my all," he replied, pausing for a moment."I noticed you deleted your Dusk Galaxy social media account."Stella thought he might be concerned about gathering evidence for the lawsuit."I've got screenshots of everything," she assured him."That's not what I meant," Marshall said, pursing his lips. "There are other ways to clear up those false rumors. You didn't have to quit social media.""What other ways? Sue her?" Stella smirked. "She never mentioned my name, so she could deny it even if I sued her. If I staye
Marshall could tell she was feeling conflicted."For the past few days, I've used the firm's official account and contacted these people in private. I told them to delete their hateful comments and pin their apologies on Facebook. Then this matter will be considered settled in private. Otherwise, we'll take the legal route. Guess what they told me?"Stella looked at him and did not speak."Every single one told me to sue them if I can. Not only did they not delete their comments, they even edited my private messages and posted the edited photos on Facebook, claiming they were being threatened. They encouraged netizens who don't know the truth to condemn me," Marshall paused.He continued, "They don't think they're wrong at all, so how could they sincerely admit their mistakes?"'How threatening could a mere apology letter be?' he thought."There's no way to convict them, but I can ask for compensation. When faced with this type of person, asking for compensation might work even b
Marshall had a softened expression."Keegan's outstanding. Not only is he outstanding in the eyes of the elders, but he's also outstanding in the eyes of his peers. During exams at school, none of us could be as good as him, no matter how hard we tried. Even at sports, he was also always better than us. He's good-tempered, patient, skilled at his profession, and treasures talent. You can see how much everyone trusts him from how his schoolmates came to help him when he started the company right after he graduated," he said in a gentle tone.'Keegan's good-tempered? Keegan's patient? Do we both know the same Keegan?' wondered Stella."You must have some kind of misunderstanding toward Keegan. So, you're saying he's good-tempered?"Stella could not help but say, "Up till this age, I've never seen a person with a worse personality than his. He puts on a long face every time he's unhappy. He'll pick on your mistakes whenever you ask why he's unhappy. If you act like you don't see his e
There was a photograph of the two on Keegan's desk.In the photograph, Keegan wore a suit as he sat in a chair, while Stella stood beside him in a red dress.The man had an icy expression, while the woman had an alluring smile.It was taken during the break time of their wedding photo shoot back then. The photographer thought the two made a beautiful scene, so he took a photo of them doing these poses.The finished product looked good. It was also Stella's favorite photo. This photo was also the huge wedding photo framed on the wall of their living room.Stella even deliberately developed a smaller copy and had it framed into a photo frame. Then, she sent it to Keegan's office. After Aldor signed the parcel, he placed the photo on Keegan's desk.What Stella was currently drawing was that photo of them.However, Stella drew herself beautifully, while the place Keegan stood had a dog. Besides that, Stella had a dog leash in her hand."What're you drawing?" the man's icy voice sou
Marshall said, "How does Japanese sound?" Then, he turned to the two beside him, "What do you two want to eat?"Stella said, "Sure. There's a pretty good Japanese restaurant at Elias Street.""How about you, Keegan?" Marshall asked Keegan.Keegan did not answer. Instead, he asked Stella, "I thought you didn't like Japanese food?"Marshall was a little surprised."If you don't like Japanese food, we'll have something else. I was just suggesting."Stella rolled her eyes at Keegan, "Nope, don't listen to him. He doesn't even know what I like. I love Japanese food."Keegan frowned as his gaze darkened. Then, he stopped talking and had a tense expression.'Marshall loves Japanese food. I can tell from his extensive knowledge of Japanese cuisine. Besides that, his dining etiquette is incredibly elegant. Previously, we ate together at a cheap eatery in front of my college, but I didn't feel a thing. It was probably due to the environment at the time. Now we're dining at a Japanese wit
Keegan was speechless.'Vermont's also my friend, but I don't see her hesitating when she rips him off,' he thought.He studied Marshall carefully.'I suddenly realized... Marshall is pretty good-looking,' he thought again.The more Keegan thought about it, the more uncomfortable he felt. So after that, he did not speak during their meal.However, Stella seemed unaware of his emotions. She was all smiles as she ate and chatted away with Marshall.Keegan paid the check and went outside. Stella was talking to Marshall while they stood at the curbside."Mr. Moore, where are you heading? We'll give you a ride there after this," Stella said in a slightly warm and gentle tone.Since they all came in a car, Marshall would have to hail a cab if the two of them left.Marshall handed her a few mints he had taken from the counter just now. Then, he smiled, "There's no need. I have something to do nearby, so I'll just walk and stimulate digestion."Then, he saw Keegan walking over, "You
"Mr. Moore was taking photos on the rooftop, and I mistakenly thought he was secretly taking photos of me. I snatched his phone away, and this is the first meeting you speak of! You're making accusations at me, but have you ever respected our marriage yourself?"Stella's pent-up anger had almost dissipated, but Keegan's words once again stirred up the frustration she had experienced today."Other husbands respect and love their wives, but how about you? Maya went to your company and caused trouble. Yet, you were worried that you'd take things too far, causing you to lose your support and damage your reputation. And so, you asked me to come and made me the scapegoat. You let me become the bad person and take the blame while you get the good reputation of someone who treasures his old employees. How cunning of you."Keegan's expression darkened, "In your heart, I'm a villain who shirks my responsibility to a woman?"Stella was furious, so she said without thinking, "You're not only a
