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
Stella was so tired that she did not want to open her eyes. She even thought that Keegan was annoying, talking beside her. She drawled, "Was it because you thought I did a good job serving you yesterday, so you're rewarding me some whoring fee?"The corner of Keegan's eyes twitched. "Let's be clear. Who was the one serving yesterday? The part where you moved a little while lying down?"Stella...Stella was never submissive in dissing Keegan's opponent, so she retorted with thick skin, "I was merely being real. You seemed to enjoy hearing my moans."She even acted like the actresses in porn and grunted twice. Her main purpose was to tease Keegan. Yet, her voice was hoarse since it was just after the lovemaking. She was being pretentious, but in his ears, she sounded a whole different way.His eyes darkened. He grabbed Stella's thin and soft waist and said in a deep voice, "If you moan a few more times, no one will be sleeping tonight."Stella shuddered instantly and did not dare t
Keegan remembered his promise and told her he had forgotten it. Stella was upset with him, but she did not express it. However, she has been acting oddly irritating and shady ever since. Every morning, when Keegan dressed up and wore his watch, Stella would mock beside him, "Well, that's a nice watch, Mr. Kane."At first, Keegan thought she was casually asking, so he replied, "It was a gift from grandma." The next day, Stella still asked him the same question when he was wearing his watch. "Well, that's a nice watch, Mr. Kane."Keegan frowned. 'Is she stupid? She just asked me this question yesterday. Has she forgotten it already?' Stella continued asking him the same question when he was wearing his watch on the third day. "Well, that's a nice watch, Mr. Kane."A whole week later, Keegan realized with hindsight. Stella had a good memory. Instead, she was intentionally shady, blaming him for forgetting to return home with her gift. After half a month, Keegan was finally fed up with
Stella snorted, "You won't be held responsible even if there was a mishap. So tell me, are you going to buy it or not?"Keegan glanced at her, "Go to sleep. Everything you want will be in your dreams."Stella was silenced. 'Bastard!'The next day, Stella had already left when Keegan woke up. She appeared to be really energized after being so exhausted last night. Aldor reported that Albert had signed the stock purchase contract regarding Semiconductor Technology. 80 million dollars was wired to the company's account. Albert has probably been waiting for this very day for too long as the money was instantly transferred to the company's account.Semiconductor Technology will be listed on Northon Trading Center on May 29th. From past conservative evaluations, the company's share price was expected to increase by sixty points on the day of the listing. So if Albert sold them on the same day, after deducting some fees, he would still receive tens of millions in profit.Aldor felt Keega
Keegan almost popped a vein. "You know about Toy Boy too?""Stella is a big fan of his. She likes his videos every day.""You know her Instagram account name?"Vermont paused and took a guess, "You don't know what's your own wife's Instagram account name?"When Instagram had just become famous, Vermont registered an account for Keegan. But after he bought a new phone, he did not download the application, let alone use it.Keegan pursed his lips. "I don't have it downloaded."Vermont's jaw fell open. 'No wonder Keegan was so chill about Stella looking at handsome guys online daily. I thought he was so liberal that he could accept his wife cheating on him mentally. It turns out he doesn't have the slightest idea of it.'Vermont thought about the videos that Stella had liked, cleared his throat, and advised, "I think you shouldn't download the app if you don't use it much."For days, Keegan got mad at Stella for giving Marshall a pair of socks. If he saw the videos that Stella had
