Stella furrowed her eyebrows. "If Arthur wants to see Keegan, I could just bring him over. Since we both work in the morning, no one would be home. Who would take care of him if you were to send him here? Arthur's mature in age, and if accidents were to happen, won't I be the target for complaints?"She whispered in a low voice. "Keegan's just like us. What part of him is so good to look at?"Albert was not satisfied and reprimanded, "What are you trying to say? Have you forgotten the time you returned to your great-grandparent's home when you were young? Arthur, who loved you the most, would give you the best of everything. Won't you fulfill his last wish since his days are already limited? How will this trouble you since you're living so well? Besides, even if Keegan has gone to work, you are still idling at home, right? How would I answer your aunts and uncles if you disagree? Pass the phone to Keegan so I can talk to him."'He made a promise even before calling, and yet he blame
'Albert has such good timing. Stella didn't have to work that day, and Albert just had to do something like this.'"Good morning, Mrs. Kane." Stella heard several people greeting her as soon as she woke up and went downstairs. She was shocked and almost slipped.There were some domestic helpers cleaning the house, and Stella had no idea when they arrived.The glass table in the living room was spotlessly clean, and the huge wedding photo looked as good as new too.Everything in the house looked so pristine, just like when they first got married and moved in.'I don't understand what Keegan's doing.'Not only did he agree to let somebody else live here, but he also told them to clean the house as if it mattered.'Nonetheless, Stella was pleased because she did not have to do anything.Keegan came down from upstairs just after Stella poured herself a glass of water.He had a suit on, and he purposely styled his hair. He walked down as he fixed his sleeve.Keegan's body proporti
After that, Rainee got into an accident, and Stella got married to Keegan right after she graduated. She came from such a prestigious university, yet she became a housewife instead. So, her relatives took the chance to get their revenge.One of Stella's cousins scored higher than the minimum score required to get into Calton University. Calton University was second only to Trinity University and was one of the leading universities.Her relatives brought it up during a gathering, and one mentioned what happened when they were young. That person said Stella was very good at studying, yet he used her as an example to tell the children there that it was no use for a girl to be so knowledgeable because she would end up being a housewife if she did not have a broad vision.One could already imagine how furious Stella felt at that time.She lost all her appetite after reminding herself of those people.Keegan was already waiting in the car when Stella finished changing.Keegan drove a L
The Vinci Rivera Group was the core of the advanced technology sector in the country, and the professional requirements of working with them were extremely high. So, they worked with some of the best local universities to specifically train the students as the future workforce to meet their demands.They needed a few people to promote their new campaign, and Sophia happened to be one of the chosen ones.Firstly, the university she graduated from was one of the universities the Vinci Rivera Group was interested in. Secondly, Sophia was an online celebrity and influential among university students. She used to be an orphan, yet she joined the Vinci Rivera Group after she graduated. Her life story is pretty motivating for most people.Sophia graduated in the same year as Lydia's son. Even though her university was not as good as Calton, she managed to get into such a good company. She even became the spokesperson for Vinci Rivera before her probation ended. There was just no way that L
Sarah ran back into the house and shouted, "Stella's back! She's here!"Lydia scolded her after seeing her over-the-top reaction. "So what, if she came back? Did you have to shout? Is this your first time meeting her?"Then, she saw Keegan entering the room while holding Stella's hand.Everyone went silent.'Didn't we say that we'll send great-grandpa over later? Why did she come with her husband?'Keegan had never attended any family celebrations in the Jewell family. Dahlia thought that the Jewells was a massive family from the countryside, and she was afraid they would not know the standards of a marriage ceremony, so she did not invite any of them to avoid embarrassment.A lot of people there had yet to meet Keegan.Even though all of them criticized Stella for getting married right after graduating, they were actually jealous of her.The Kane family of Rivera had achieved so many things that they were on a level that could never be reached by most people.Did somebody say
Stella was speechless.Everyone there went quiet too.Those things were worth at least a few million, yet Keegan made it sound like they were not enough.And, he purposely mentioned that Stella was the one who bought them just to tell Sophia that Stella did not ask him for money.Sophia was certain that Keegan had heard what she and her relatives said just now, so he only said those things to target her.It did not matter if Stella really bought those gifts or not, but the fact that Keegan was willing to accompany her to be there said a lot about their relationship.All the relatives that were looking down on Stella did not dare to say anything anymore.Lydia felt very good after looking at how Sophia was embarrassed. Then, she added fuel to the fire."Albert, you're such a fortunate man. Just look at how many things Stella and her husband brought here today. I guess Keegan is like your son now."Albert felt very proud that Keegan made his way there. His face glowed as he humb
There was a tradition in the town where a family would hold a big banquet with friends and relatives once their child was accepted into college. The guests would also give the kid their best regards for their future.That was why when Stella was accepted into Trinity University, Rainee hosted a banquet with eighty-eight tables at their old home. She did not charge their relatives and friends a single cent. It did not matter if any of them made snarky remarks toward her and Stella because they were jealous. She still boasted her daughter's achievements to everyone she saw.Lydia, on the other hand, started telling everyone that her son was having a celebration the second his high school admission letter arrived in the mail. She even asked the guests to donate what they could to have a feast. However, when the time came, they found out that Lydia had only set up a few tattered tables on the front porch. She then asked everyone to enter the house to eat.When they entered her house, th
"T-That was not what I meant..." Lydia stammered."What did you mean then, Aunt Lydia? My wife married me at a young age. She woke up every morning to prepare breakfast and clean the house. She worked hard to care for me and the house day and night so that I could focus on my work. Tell me, why is she a joke?" Keegan widened his eyes and said.Stella stayed quiet. She could not believe her ears. She was blushing from Keegan's lies. Stella only woke up when it was noon, and the meals she prepared were inedible. The only thing she was diligent at was shopping and buying stuff with his credit card. From Keegan's point of view, she was ungrateful to have wanted a divorce.Lydia's face was flushed, and she did not utter a word for a long time. On the other hand, Elaine gloated as she watched Lydia get schooled. 'Hah! You deserve that, bitch,' she thought.In the end, Albert said, "I don't understand why someone as old as you would act like a three-year-old."Lydia finally calmed down a
