As Stella approached Keegan, he immediately reached out to remove her sunglasses. She frowned and was clearly unhappy with the gesture. So, she asked, "Why did you take off my sunglasses?"

Keegan responded, "You're wearing sunglasses on stage. It distracts the audience's attention away from the recruitment talk."

Stella snorted. "Yeah, you can control me. But, can you also control the audience's attention?"

"Pfft," Aldor could not help but laugh. "Madam is truly a performer. She has a bit of comedic talent."

But, as soon as Keegan shot Aldor a glance, Aldor cleared his throat, trying to act natural.

Keegan folded the sunglasses and put them in his pocket. "Stella, sit next to me and behave yourself. Don't talk nonsense."

"Okay," Surprisingly, Stella did not argue with Keegan this time.

At three in the afternoon, the recruitment talk had officially begun.

Mr. Jackman started by giving a brief introduction to the collaboration between the Vinci Rivera Group and the university. Th

    As Sophia was speaking, the large screen behind her switched to a presentation slide interface. However, what appeared on it was not what she had mentioned about the "Rising Star" project but a paternity test report. Scrolling down, it revealed Sophia's birth certificate and her parents' information.The presentation slides detailed Sophia's parents — Albert and Hylda — having an extramarital affair and giving birth to her, putting her in a welfare home, and then arranging for Albert's wife — Rainee — to adopt her.The sudden revelation left the audience bewildered, and the media quickly realized that something was amiss. They were frantically filming the scene."Holy shit. Sophia is Albert's illegitimate daughter!""Who's Albert?""He's the husband of the couple who adopted Sophia. Isn't he her adoptive father? How could he be her biological father?""It's written on the slide that Albert had an affair with his secretary, resulting in the birth of Sophia. To cover it up, they pu

    Sophia turned around with a confused look on her face. As soon as she saw the content on the presentation slide, her face went pale.The information displayed on the presentation slide was beyond belief. The perpetrators mentioned in it did not have any morality or decency. Worse still, everything on the screen was true and had happened to Sophia herself.Sophia had been upholding her image for so long, deceiving so many with her fabricated stories. How could her fans ever forgive this kind of deception?In the ivory tower of academia, the students' experiences were relatively simple, and the way they expressed their emotions were straightforward. They shouted and demanded Sophia be kicked out of their campus. Some threw water bottles; some threw fruits; one even threw a shoe, which landed right on Sophia's face, causing her nose to bleed profusely.The university's top officials quickly instructed teaching and non-teaching staff to maintain order. As for the Vinci Rivera Group's s

    Within just half an hour, topics such as "Sophia is A Bastard" and "The Vinci Rivera Group's Recruitment Talk at Trinity University Failed Miserably" made it into the trending list.Sophia had set a perfect image beforehand. Those hashtags, including "#orphan", "#inspiring", and "#rising against all odds", which had meant to be her labels, became sharp weapons against her after her image collapsed. Since she was in high school, she had used her "orphan" status to gain attention from the public and become a well-known "inspirational internet celebrity". Almost all of her fans followed her due to her "miserable" childhood and "never give up" attitude toward life.Therefore, when her image collapsed, her former supporters turned on her instantly. Every time her social media page was refreshed, she would lose hundreds or even thousands of subscribers. In just ten minutes, she could lose tens of thousands of fans.Sophia had often said on her social media that, [I've been through the sto

    "You grew up with Sophia in the same house, yet you didn't see the signs. But, now that I think about it, Sophia's round face and bulbous nose are obviously inherited from Albert, aren't they? And Albert, that shameless man, not only cheated on your mother but also had her help him raise his bastard child. He's not even worthy of being called a human!"Felicity kept talking like a hindsight expert, feeling that many things had already foreshadowed Albert's despicable behavior. After she finished speaking, she noticed that Stella was silent. So, she spoke softly, "Stella, you're not mad at me for cursing Albert, are you?"Stella came back to her senses and calmly said, "I don't care." Albert no longer deserved to be called "father" by Stella for what he had done."Felicity, do you know how the Vinci Rivera Group is doing now?" Stella asked."They're being roasted on social media. Many reporters are waiting outside their office building for interviews. The Vinci Rivera Group has been

    Some netizens started to make up stories using a picture. They claimed that after they had sent their CVs, the Vinci Rivera Group's HR staff discriminated them based on their education and region and even verbally harassed them.The collapse of Sophia's image resulted in the fall of the Vinci Rivera Group into a corporate reputation crisis. People began to question its corporate image. After all, before Sophia's scandal, there was another incident caused by Jackson six months ago.Behind the incident, it seemed that someone was deliberately fanning the flames and directing the blame toward the Vinci Rivera Group. The discussion on corporate image and employee quality was more heated than that of Sophia's scandal. This outcome deviated from Stella's initial expectations.Meanwhile, after the incident, Keegan and others were able to keep the situation under control with the help of the university's top officials and police who arrived later. They did not leave Trinity University until

    Sophia, on the other hand, got agitated. "Mr. Kane, it must be Stella. She had the motive. When we were discussing the process of the recruitment talk, she was absent for a long time. That must have been the time she swapped the files in my USB drive! We should check the surveillance footage—""Enough!" Keegan's voice was cold. "Do you think that at this point, anyone cares who's the culprit? Can this salvage the damage that has been done to the company's reputation?"Sophia turned pale. Her lips were trembling, and she could not say another word.Jackson glanced at Keegan. "Keegan, isn't it possible to investigate the root cause while also salvaging the company's image? If someone hadn't intentionally caused this incident during the recruitment talk, how could we have ended up in this mess?"Keegan looked at Jackson and said, "I've always said that we should focus on promoting the project instead of putting in personal agendas. Look at what you did. You relied on Sophia's image to

    Cordelia stood outside the door, listening to the discussion. She pursed her lips for a long while before she finally said, "Keegan really lacks interpersonal skills. Only a handful of the old guard really supported him."Baldwin was speechless. He thought, 'I was under the impression that you were worried about how you should handle this matter while you were standing at the door. I never expected you to be so nonchalant about it and only concerned about your grandson's personal connections. They said that you were biased, and you didn't deny it at all.' Baldwin then said, "The young master's expertise lies in research and development, not handling these sorts of situations."Cordelia commented, "When Keegan was growing up, I put all my effort into training him to excel. But, I neglected to teach him the art of eloquence. He really needs to learn it from Stella. Look at her. She's strong when she needs to be, and soft when appropriate. And, she never backs down from what she wants.

    The PR manager did not notice Keegan's darkened expression and continued, "In the wake of this incident, we've seen a lot of netizens sympathizing with Stella. If it's revealed that Stella was the one who brought Sophia into the company, the focus will shift to her being deceived and her mother bringing Sophia into their home. It will potentially divert attention away from Vinci Rivera Group."Sophia's face turned pale. She thought, 'He's planning to abandon me completely!'Everyone looked at Keegan.The fastest way to calm things down was to shift the public's attention.If this incident had happened at any other time, it might have been manageable. The Vinci Rivera Group's PR team was known for their expertise, and they could have easily mitigated any damage. They did not care much about Sophia's reputation, but they could not let her involvement harm the company's image. Unfortunately, it happened today, and the incident was captured by numerous media cameras and broadcasted liv

    Keegan moved from initial resistance to reluctantly listening, and eventually to questioning."Why do these novels portray men as so stupid and brainless, yelling at the female lead as if they have intermittent explosive disorder?""Is the male lead sick? Forcing the female lead to donate a kidney, is he out of his mind?""How many years would they get for calling the police in their world?""Why is he so dumb? The supporting actress claims the female lead pushed her into the water and he believes it? Is checking surveillance footage illegal?""Stella, are you making fun of me?""I can't learn this. It all feels so neurotic. What does the female lead see in him?"Stella retorted, "Who cares if it's neurotic? Just mimic that stupidity, that's how these innocent women like men who protect them like that."Keegan was very reluctant, but his brain was more compliant than his body. Without needing to study deliberately, everything he heard stuck in his mind.So when Keegan mentione

    Keegan's expression darkened with anger. "You're being completely unreasonable!"Stella crossed her arms, wearing an expression that seemed challenging. "You let her take it. Let's see if I dare."Jaylene hadn't actually wanted those junk items in the first place; she was deliberately trying to stir up discord between them. Now that her goal was achieved, she put on a sympathetic look."Keegan, I don't want it anymore. Don't be angry. Your health is more important. Didn't the doctor say to keep your emotions stable?"Turning her head, she reproached Stella. "Stella, are you here to help Keegan recover his memory or just to provoke him?""Shut up, you brat! Do you even have a say here?"Acting under the guise of a drama, playing the role of someone lacking in manners, was incredibly satisfying.She’d wanted to curse this brat for a long time!Jaylene's lips twitched, but she held back, tearfully saying, "Stella, if you don't like me, I'll leave. There's no need to humiliate me l

    Jaylene understood the situation perfectly. Even though she didn't particularly like these cold, mechanical devices, she put on a pretense of surprise, saying, "Really, Keegan?"Keegan nodded. "Choose one you like.""Keegan!" Before Stella could finish her sentence, she couldn't hold back her sharp voice, "With your pile of junk that I can't even touch normally, she takes a look and now you want to give it to her? What's the meaning of this?!"Keegan frowned, apparently not comprehending her current anger at all. "Jaylene gave me a gift, and I'm giving her one in return. What's the problem?""What problem?" Stella's eyes started to redden. "I can't touch them, so why should she be able to? Have you forgotten, or do you have inappropriate feelings for her?"Keegan's expression darkened. "This makes no sense!"Jaylene secretly delighted in this, hypocritically trying to calm things down, "Forget it, Keegan. Since Stella minds so much, I don't want it anymore. You've strained your r

    The standoff lasted for over twenty minutes before Keegan grabbed a book and knocked the beetle off Jaylene's neck. The beetle fluttered twice and suddenly flew up, landing on Jaylene's face.Jaylene screamed, rolled her eyes, and fainted.As she collapsed, the bug flew off again."Jaylene?"Keegan called out to her.He looked up at Stella and said, "You go start the car, I'll carry her to the hospital."As he spoke, he signaled to Stella.She understood and coldly grunted, "So troublesome."Walking over to Jaylene, she squatted down beside her and slapped her face twice.Jaylene immediately opened her eyes and reached out to push her away. "What are you doing!"Stella was prepared and had already moved back before she could be pushed.She shook her tingling hand and innocently said, "Jaylene, you fainted because of the bug. I was just saving you. Don't believe me? Ask Keegan."Jaylene nearly ground her teeth. Did she think she hadn't heard? She was intentionally exposing h

    Her fingertips trembled with a mix of horror and excitement. Just as the teapot was about to slip from her grasp, Keegan suddenly said, "Jaylene, don't move."Jaylene froze, instinctively thinking Keegan had regained his memory. She had barely twitched when Keegan loudly stopped her again, "Don't move, absolutely don't move."Jaylene wanted to say something, but then felt an itching sensation on her neck, as if something was crawling slowly. Goosebumps erupted all over her body.By now, Stella had turned around and saw Jaylene standing stiffly with the teapot in hand. Her eyes quickly assessed the situation and then she noticed the beetle crawling on Jaylene's neck.It was an unknown species, not overly tentacled but as long as a little finger, its mouthparts slightly twitching, genuinely alarming in appearance.Stella murmured, "It's so big."Jaylene couldn't see what was on her neck, unsure if it would bite or if it was venomous. She stood frozen in place, her voice trembling,

    Seeing him, Stella even lowered her eyes and softly praised, "Mr. Kane, you acted very well."Keegan glared at her, his voice low and intense. "If you keep watching like this, Coco will cut ties with me tomorrow."Stella replied confidently, "No, she won't. After accepting the red envelope, she can tolerate you a little longer."Keegan asked sharply, "Did you teach her to ask for red envelopes like this?""Don't falsely accuse me; I didn't teach her.""You may not have taught her directly, but you set an example. Have you forgotten how you always make me buy things for you?"Stella was speechless. Whenever she wanted Keegan to buy her something, she would often say, "Gifts are only surprises when given voluntarily. If reminded, it shows they don’t like me that much."It had to be said, Coco had learned the essence of it.Stella also felt a bit awkward, thinking that in the future, she needed to avoid such flirtatious conversations between spouses in front of the children. They

    Could she figure all this out?Keegan frowned, casting a disappointed look at Coco. "Are you not listening to me now?"Coco raised her gaze defiantly and stated, "Aunt Stella taught me that if I don't want something someone gives me, I can say no. I don't want this hairpin.""Didn't she teach you that even if you don't like something, you should still say thank you?"Coco fell silent for a moment, then reluctantly said to Jaylene, "Thank you, Aunt Jaylene, but I don't want it."Jaylene hesitated with her hand extended, unsure whether to retract it or leave it there, managing a strained smile. "Then what do you like? Next time, I will get you something you do like."Coco asked, "Do you want me to do something for you?"Jaylene was taken aback. "What?"Coco replied seriously, "Aunt Stella says offering help without reason is either deceitful or thieving. Since you don't like me, why else would you give me something? You want me to do something for you, right?"Jaylene forced a s

    Leighton's incident did indeed revive their suspicions.Jaylene was gullible, but Darcie might see through this scheme. "Keegan, why didn't you go to work today?" Jaylene chose to ask directly at first.Keegan remained composed. "I've been busy with the press conference lately and haven't had much rest. Now that things have slowed down, I thought I'd take a break and relax."Jaylene spoke gently, "You should rest well. Since you came back, you've been busy, and you've been postponing Dr. Stone's follow-up appointments. Keegan, I'm really worried about your health. Since you're resting these days, I'll arrange for Dr. Stone to give you another check-up. Stella has been living here to assist your recovery for so long. We need the doctor to give a clear assessment of whether there's been any improvement. Otherwise, it's not good for Stella's reputation to stay here so long, unmarried and under one roof."Keegan nodded. "Okay, please arrange it. Thank you."His response was decisive,

    Stella had just descended the stairs when she heard that remark, causing her eyelids to twitch as she thought to herself, “Damn it! He really knows how to come up with excuses!”Upon hearing this, Jaylene's eyes briefly flashed with disdain, but she ultimately accepted the shoe covers Keegan handed her. As Keegan led Jaylene into the house, her eyes continued to scrutinize every corner.There were a couple of pillows on the sofa, couple mugs on the table, wedding photos of Keegan and Stella on the walls, and even headbands and hair ties scattered on the table. The house exuded an unmistakable feminine touch.Jaylene's expression darkened, but when Keegan turned to ask if she preferred tea or coffee, she adopted a gentle, harmless demeanor. "Tea would be perfect."Keegan invited her to take a seat and called for Maria to prepare tea. Jaylene spoke softly, "Keegan, I heard from Stella that you brew Dragon Well tea better than anyone else. Is there a special technique?"Stella paused
