Dahlia looked at the photo, and it really was Stella and Marshall.She frowned and did not speak.Aurora was so furious that she kept cursing. "That bitch! She's tramping around with that manipulative face of hers. I'm going to tell Keegan immediately!""Wait." Dahlia stopped her."What can a photo prove? The two aren't holding hands or acting intimate. If you send this to Keegan, he'd even think that you're deliberately stirring up trouble."Aurora gritted her teeth. "They are walking out of the same room. Isn't that enough for proof?""That's Xianna's side of the story. It wasn't captured in her photo."Aurora liked Marshall, so she naturally felt pissed off when she saw him in a hotel with another woman.However, Dahlia was a bystander, so she was much more clearheaded compared to Aurora.'Stella is very busy due to a bunch of nonsense happening in the Jewell family. She's even divorcing Keegan recently, so she wouldn't have the time to get involved with other men. If Xiann
Xavier raised his eyebrow and thought, 'I'm sure he's interested in Mrs. Kane... No, I should call her Ms. Jewell now.'She just got divorced recently and he's already so eager to get her. His intention is so obvious.'I wonder if Mr. Saun would break Trevor's leg if he knew about this. After all, this is too not cool,' Xavier thought.After Stella had ended Trevor's phone call, she turned her head to ask Marshall, "Mr. Moore, where's your office? I'll take you there."Marshall did not reply to that question. He asked, "Are you still filming Jurisdiction?"Stella shook her head. "No. I went for a screen test with a production crew a while back. I'm filming this show at Hatun recently.""Filming?" Marshall was suddenly interested. "What kind of show is that?""A show featuring power and love struggles in the palace.""What role are you playing?"Stella looked serious as she said, "Look at me. Of course I'm playing a concubine who will bring calamity to the country."Marshall w
Stella stopped moving, and she slowly turned her head.She did not fake it. She could not make large movements because the thing on her head was too heavy.The doors of the dressing room were wide open, and Aurora came in with two men and a lady.Stella had never met the two men before. They looked young, and they dressed like street thugs. They were even holding baseball bats. They were probably the rich kids in Aurora's circle.Stella knew the girl, however. 'Isn't she Xianna, the grumbler who bought the bracelet?'When the actresses in the dressing room saw their attitude, they either dodged aside or immediately ran out to ask for help.Stella's eyes were gloomy. She faintly glanced at Aurora and said, "Your mouth doesn't hurt anymore?"Aurora's expression suddenly changed. "You bitch, it was really you!"Stella looked in the mirror as she slowly put on the hairpin. "Aurora, if you came here to mess with me, you should get lost before it's too late. If you provoke me, I'll m
Aurora covered her face as she screamed.The temperature of the water in the insulated cup was at least one hundred- and seventy-degrees Fahrenheit. Although it would not burn her skin, it was extremely painful.Xianna was so scared that her legs turned to jelly. She wanted to come and see how Aurora would deal with Stella. At the same time, she also wanted to come by and get back at Stella. But, she did not expect Stella to be so crazy!'She's Aurora! She's Keegan's sister. The Kane family's favorite daughter!'Is she insane?' Xianna thought.Maybe Xianna had stared too directly at Stella because Stella faintly glanced at her and said, "There's still some water in the cup. Ms. Anne, do you want to try it too?"Xianna did not dare to step forward to help Aurora. She frightenedly stared at Stella.The two men did not dare to walk forward too. Stella was the daughter-in-law of the Kane family. They dared to smash things, but they did not dare to hit her.Stella tutted, "I've wast
Aurora was in disbelief. Her eyes were red as she said, "Marshall, you believe her and not me?""I only believe in what I see."Marshall coldly glanced at her. "Leave with your friends now!"Stella said at the side, "Pay for the mirror before you leave. It's quite expensive."Everyone was left speechless.Marshall's attitude broke Aurora's heart. She ran away with her reddened eyes.Xianna was frightened when she stared into Stella's eyes. She took out all the cash in her handbag and put it on the table before she left with Aurora.'Bunch of dregs!'Daniel came in after they left.He heard that someone came to make trouble and harassed Stella. So, he hurriedly rushed over there.However, he did not see anything when he came. He only saw the broken glasses on the floor.Stella was sitting in a chair while Marshall stood beside her. Her assistant, Shea, was holding a first aid kit and treating Stella's wound.Daniel frowned as he said, "Where are the troublemakers?"Before S
Keegan's expression changed slightly."Are you saying my mother switched the medicine?"Of course, Aldor did not dare to suspect that. He merely said, "Mr. Kane, how does Mrs. Kane treat Ms. Stella?"Keegan was stunned for a moment.Dahlia did not treat Stella well.When they got married, Dahlia was the person who opposed them the most.She believed that Stella's background was not good enough for the Kane family. She also felt that Stella was not dignified like how a lady from a respectable family should be. So, she was very dissatisfied.Dahlia should be the one who talked about the marriage with Cordelia. But, she was not happy with Stella. So, Keegan got past Dahlia and discussed the marriage proposal with Cordelia.After his marriage with Stella was confirmed, only then did Dahlia know about it. Dahlia's face was gloomy the whole time when Cordelia announced their marriage.After Keegan and Stella got married, Dahlia did not contact them much because they lived separately
Keegan pursed his lips and transferred another million dollars. The message said, [I'm worried about you...]For that message, Stella was too lazy to even take a look. She honestly thought that there was something wrong with Keegan's brain at that moment. She felt that the ruckus she and Keegan had caused was ugly enough, yet Keegan was still here as if she was the one who was fooling around with him. She even thought that Keegan transferred money to her non-stop because he believed that Stella had divorced him for the money.Keegan waited for a long while, but he did not see Stella's reply. His heart was unavoidably slightly depressed.Aldor saw Keegan's expression, and he knew that Keegan had hit a brick wall regarding the madam.Thus, he comforted him. "Mr. Kane, this is not an urgent issue. The madam still has anger in her heart. You have to give her time to cool down."Keegan replied with an "Mhm." Then, he continued, "Get some people to put out news about the advantages of s
Stella really liked children, and she was very adept at wrangling with them. Bo used to be very naughty, but when he was with Stella, he would be very well-behaved. Just when they were having fun, a phone rang.Stella saw that it was Dahlia with a glance, and her face fell even more. She hung up the phone, directly blacklisted Dahlia's contact, and deleted her contact. No one picked up the phone call. Dahlia furrowed her brows and called again. This time, it would not even get through.'Stella isn't brave enough to not pick up my phone calls. It looks like their marriage was, as Aurora said, divorced,' Dahlia thought.Bo was slightly tired from playing, so Stella took him to the couch to rest. When she came back to the dinner table, the phone rang again. It was an unknown number this time, so Stella accepted the call."It's me," Dahlia's voice came from the other end of the phone. It sounded like a crouched poisonous snake that was spitting its snaky tongue on a person's body. It m
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
