Erick's wife was a good friend to the Kane family, so he was very familiar with them too. Also, he was working on a few ongoing projects with Keegan, and he knew very well who he was.Olivia and Dahlia were best friends. Dahlia started to look after her more after how she fell out with her brothers. His wife's relationship with Dahlia was also why he could achieve many things in his career. So he knew that his wife would definitely cause a big scene if she were to find out what happened today.Erick was about to get a promotion, and he figured that he would most likely lose the opportunity to do so if anybody ever found out about this.'They're so dumb! Isn't what I'm doing obvious enough for them to shut up? How stupid!'I shouldn't have dated this woman who's only good for her looks! Even her child is a disappointment!'Erick then said to his assistant, "Send them back home now. Make sure you reflect on yourself!"Stella was not going to let them off the hook that easily.So,
'Library? Mr. Kane?'Harrison was shocked when he saw Robert's respectful attitude toward Keegan. 'Is this the Mr. Kane from the Vinci Rivera Group who donated the library to our school?'He experienced tingling in his back, which had broken into cold sweats. He looked at Erick in disbelief, "Mr. Chapman, this..."Erick just ignored this foolish man!"No." Keegan faintly said, "Someone at school beat up my family's kid. Your school indiscriminately said that you all wanted to expel him. So, I accompany my wife to come here to understand the situation."Robert's facial expression instantly changed when he heard that. He twisted his head to ask Harrison, who was standing next to him, "Mr. Harrison, what happened? Why did you want to expel the student?"Julian pursed his lips.'This couple, one can lie better than the last. He was the one who beat someone up. But he became the victim when the couple talked about that incident.'Harrison shuddered. His face broke into a cold sweat
'What's the definition of pushing your luck?This is it! Julian started the fight. I'm embarrassed to talk about medical expenses. But Stella is so shameless. She mentioned so many expenses.'Only Keegan looked normal. With Stella's personality, five thousand dollars was considered a conservative amount.She did not care about the compensation. She did that because she wanted to demoralize the other party. Erick looked a lot unhappier.He was a respected person with high status. So, of course, he was not happy about being made difficult by a girl.But Keegan was there. So, he could only swallow his anger even when he was furious.He turned his head to signal his assistant to transfer her the money hurriedly. He did not want to stay here any longer. Stella smiled slightly when she looked at the payment on her phone. "Mr. Chapman is more reasonable than Mrs. Chapman."Erick was speechless."Mr. Chapman, there's one more thing that I need your help with. Do you mind?"Erick coldl
"Bam!" William suddenly tapped the table.Everyone was frightened, "Mr. William, what're you doing?"William tapped his leg as he said, "I remember now! I thought he was familiar. That Mr. Kane is the Mr. Kane from the Vinci Rivera Group. I was there that day when the agreement of the library was signed. I glanced at them from afar. He was the one who signed the agreement."Everyone was shocked!'No wonder Mr. Harrison slipped this time. He buttered up the wrong person. The other party has a stronger background.'Come to think of the married couple's vibe, all of this suddenly feels strange but justifiable.'Finally, there are people who can control the mother and son of the Chapman family.'Stella was extremely happy after solving the serious matter. She was humming along the way.Julian still felt a little unreal, 'This issue was resolved so easily. Not to mention that we didn't have to compensate them. We even received some money for medical expenses.'He took a look at Ste
The shop assistant smiled slightly, "Although our shoes are expensive, the quality is very good. We have many repeat customers. You'll know it when you wear them. And it comes with a lifetime warranty and cleaning. If there's a quality problem within two months, you can come and exchange for a new pair."Stella took out a card, "Okay. We'll get this pair. Let's pay now."Julian frowned, "I don't want it."He removed the shoes as he said that. Then he wore his old shoes and ran out of the store. Stella explained to the shop assistant and got up to chase after Julian. After searching for him for a while, she noticed Julian leaning over the fence, looking downstairs.She walked toward him and stood beside him, "You're not happy that I'm buying you a gift?"Julian pursed his lips. He spoke after pondering, "That's not something I can afford. It'll look weird on me if I wear it. I'd become a laughingstock for others."Stella winced. 'I forgot to consider this. Although he's quiet, he'
Eastern Alley Welfare Center is small. They did not accept any new kids these two years. Including Shelley and the others, fewer than twenty people were in the center.Rainee transferred a hundred thousand dollars to them every month. This was enough to keep this small welfare center going.'A hundred thousand dollars. It should be enough.'Julian pursed his lips, "The donation from Ms. Spade has stopped since last October."Stella's expression changed, "What did you mean by stopped?"Julian did not know much. Once, when he went to find Shelley, he overheard the conversation between Shelley and Cecilia at Shelley's door. Only then did he know that the Jewell family's donation had stopped since October last year.The social donation to the welfare center was very limited. They mainly needed donations from the Jewell family to keep the center going. So, when the donation stopped, the welfare center did not last long until they encountered difficulty.Initially, Shelley thought som
A light gray tarp was covering the safe. There were dishes on it, as Shelley used it as a dining table. Shelley said, "Your mom gave it to me a month before she got into the accident. She said some critical documents and ledgers for the company were stored inside. I was told to keep it safe no matter what and not to disclose it to anyone. The things inside were vital to her; she would find time and get them back. But she got into an accident before she could come and retrieve it."Shelley sighed, "I intended to send them to your father after something happened to your mother. Yet, he had a horrible tone when I mentioned your mother on every phone call and hung up before we could even communicate. Hence, I did not bring it up again. If you hadn't asked me about it, I would have totally forgotten about this."After Stella's mother had an accident, Albert was focused on dealing with the company. He even wanted to give up a few times. Stella was not surprised that he was preoccupied duri
No matter how late it was, Stella would always apply a face mask and do her skincare routine before sleeping. She originally had a great complexion and paid extra attention to caring for herself. It can be said that she had delicate skin.Keegan watched as she worked on herself at the dressing table for half an hour before bed. Her skincare products were not aromatic. Only the faint fragrance of her body shampoo wafted from her. The light sandalwood fragrance inexplicably stirred up his emotion.Stella closed her eye, thinking about unlocking the safe tomorrow, and wondered what Rainee could have put in the hidden safe. Ultimately, she found the safe because she asked Shelley about it when she inadvertently found the numbers on the tape. 'Was it the company's important documents and account book? Why did she need to hide it?'As Stella was lost in thought, she suddenly felt a heavy weight on her body. She opened her eyes to find Keegan leaning over her and looking at her with his bu
