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
Arthur's insult was mainly aimed at Albert. Stella then felt that he wasn't a confused old man. Albert smiled apologetically and said, "Keegan treats her very well. Stella is blessed to have married him. How is she in a lion's den?" The old man snorted and did not speak again.Keegan's appearance was rare at the Jewell residence. Albert wanted him to at least stay for a meal. Initially, Keegan and Stella planned to pick Arthur up and leave, but Albert insisted on them staying. After having lunch with the Jewells, they rested there for a bit before driving the old man back to their place. It was already 3:00 or 4:00 p.m. when they got in the car.Stella asked her great-grandfather if he wanted to lie down for a while, but the man wanted to sit up. He said he could not see from the window if he lay down. Stella thought that it was funny, but she obeyed his wishes.Arthur had lived in his hometown all his life. But now, he was in Rivera, the farthest place he had ever traveled. Aldor i
After Aldor had reported his work that day, something came to his mind. "By the way, during our meeting today, Mr. Ray called and said that this year the chamber of commerce will be held on a cruise ship. He even sent an invitation. Mr. Ray said I have to update him about whether you would show up. Are you going, Mr. Kane?""No," Keegan replied without lifting his head.Aldor nodded. "Okay, I'll call Mr. Ray right now."The chamber of commerce underwent a massive change a long time ago. They cared more about how big the event was going to be rather than the content. They even had a cruise ship this time around.'Hold on. A cruise ship?' Keegan paused and called for Aldor, who was about to leave his office. "Wait. Leave the invitation here."Aldor was surprised. "Are you going to the event, sir?""Didn't she always say that she wanted to take a cruise? I'm going to take her on the cruise so that she would at least experience it once," Keegan said lightly.Aldor raised his eyebrow
