He halted the conversation right then, turned around, and headed into The Deli.Bella's expression turned gloomy. 'Having been used to the core, I've already lost all usefulness to Keegan, yet he had not shown a single interest in our relationship for the past few years. I've worked so hard to climb to this position. And, what is it about Stella? What am I lacking, and what does she have that made her so quickly to be able to find such a good man like Trevor the instant she was divorced?'Still sulking, she took out her phone and dialed a number. When the call was connected, she said in a low voice, "It's me, Bella."Before the person on the other end could respond, Bella continued, "I've done it as you said, yet Keegan did not respond. You have to help me."...Once they were in the elevator, Stella said, "Mr. Saun, thank you for helping me out."Trevor smiled and said, "I didn't really do it just to help you. He blocked my way, so I had to get him back.""Huh?""He thought th
Stella's eyes suddenly jumped out of their sockets. Wenham, on the other hand, was elated and he hurriedly greeted. "Keegan, why are you here?"Keegan lifted up the two bottles of white wine in his hands and politely said, "I heard that Trevor invited you over for a meal, so I had to come to bring these two bottles of white wine."Trevor twitched and thought, 'What an extraordinary excuse.'Wenham may not be a drunkard, but he still loved to drink. He was not used to drinking spirit and red wine was too mild for him. That was why he deeply loved to drink white wine. Having been overseas for some time and having a wife that was worried about his drinking habits, he rarely had the chance to enjoy locally produced white wine. His desire for wine was instantly reignited when Keegan brought two bottles of wine from his favorite brand when he was younger. He could not order wine since Darcie would forbid it, but the wine Keegan brought over is another matter entirely. The moment Wenham sa
Wenham didn't say anything more after Keegan's response. He felt content seeing the strong bond between Trevor and Keegan. Knowing Keegan was practical and hardworking compared to his dreamy son made Wenham happy about their closeness. He hoped Keegan's good qualities would influence Trevor positively.Stella silently shifted her seat slightly toward Jaylene. Wenham was overjoyed and started babbling to Keegan about Stella's attempt to save Jaylene. He even exaggerated a little. Darcie, at the side, amusedly said, "Keegan knows more than you think. After all, he is married to Ms. Jewell. How would he not know?"At that moment, everyone grew uneasy. The younger group already knew about Keegan and Stella's divorce; the news spread quickly within their social circle through Stella's group chat. Only the older folks like Darcie and Wenham were unaware. Wenham, oblivious to Stella being Keegan's ex-wife, wouldn't have shared so enthusiastically if he'd known.Stella pursed her lips. She
Wenham's expression suddenly turned grim, as he was oblivious to the mastermind of the incident.Keegan looked toward Stella, but her poker face remained and she did not look back. She was waiting to see how Keegan would cover for Aurora. Sure enough, Keegan responded without wasting another second. "Uncle Wenham, this matter was truly caused by Aurora. The fault is on our part for not disciplining her. I'll make sure she personally comes and apologize for the trouble she caused."Stella was astonished. She was hoping that Keegan would stand up for Aurora. She did not expect he would admit Aurora's wrongdoing so straightforwardly. 'Is he trying to feint ignorance?' she thought.Since Keegan had apologized, Wenham did not try to shame Keegan in front of everyone anymore. He said with a frown, "Aurora is too disrespectful. Jaylene's issue aside, she shouldn't have locked Ms. Jewell in the ladies' room just because they were at odds with each other. How was she even brought up? "Keeg
Keegan was definitely ashamed to reject it since Wenham said so. Thus, he picked up the mug, moved his Adam's apple, then raised his eyes and said, "Feel free to drink as much as you like." Keegan gulped down the drink as he spoke.The glass was at least 300 milliliters, and Trevor filled up the glass for him. It was at least half a pound.Keegan could even get drunk with red wine, and Stella had never seen him drink white wine. He could not hold red wine, let alone white wine. For others, drinking was enjoyment, but it was purely suffering for Keegan.When Keegan finished the glass of wine, his first reaction was to pick up another glass and drink some water. He drank half of it in one go.Stella was left speechless. 'Sometimes, I don't know if I should say he's a fool or just stupid. Don't force yourself when you can't drink. Just spit the wine from your mouth into the glass while you're drinking water. Doesn't he know how to act in a slick way?'Stella did not know Keegan grew
As soon as Keegan spoke, Stella knew the bastard was drunk. This was the point that Keegan would bluff to people. As long as he was awake when he was drunk, he would look normal while he was sitting there without talking.Wenham obviously did not realize that and asked surprisingly, "Really?"Stella frowned and said softly, "Don't listen to him."Keegan frowned and added, "You told me that."Stella was left speechless. She decided not to answer. When Keegan was drunk, she could not continue to talk with him because no one knew what nonsense he would say next. So, the best way was to ignore it.Keegan stayed silent when he saw that Stella ignored him. He just kept putting unpeeled shrimp on her plate. In a short while, the plate in front of Stella was piled up into a hill. Everyone hardly touched the plate of shrimp as Keegan put them on her plate.Stella was speechless. She looked up at the four silent members of the Saun family and immediately felt that Keegan had embarrassed he
"Let me go!" Stella stared at Keegan.Instead of letting go, Keegan tightened his grip. "Are you going to look for Trevor?""Don't care about who I'm looking for. Ask Aldor to pick you up immediately!"Keegan frowned. He ignored Stella's words automatically and said, "Trevor is a sissy. Why do you like him?"Stella's eyelids twitched. 'Trevor is a sissy? When he is drunk, he not only talks nonsense but also starts rumors.'Seeing that Stella did not respond, Keegan frowned and pinched her chin, "Am I not as good as him?"Keegan was like a stubborn child who insisted on getting answers. Stella was a bit annoyed by his nonsense at the dinner table just now. So, she glanced at him and said, "He's better than you in every aspect. You don't look as good as him, you're meaner than him, and you're very stingy. How can you compare to him?"Keegan stared at her blankly and seemingly unable to accept this answer. He asked after a long time, "Am I stingy with you?"Of course, Keegan was n
Stella thought she was dazzled. She waited for three seconds before turning on the light again. Immediately afterward, her eyes were blinded by the bright red banknotes all over the room.The floor was covered with stacks of banknotes and was at least a dozen centimeters thick. It extended from the entrance to the entire living room. There was even a three-dimensional pyramid piled up with gold bars on the coffee table.Stella felt as if she had entered Rowan Steven's house, a drama character who accepted bribes. If the police came to arrest her right now, she would be so frightened that her legs would be like jelly.Keegan wrapped his arms around her waist from behind. He placed his chin on her shoulder and whispered, "Do you like it? These are all yours."Stella was speechless. 'It's not that I'm spineless. It's true that a person who is perfectly sane and sensible while looking at a room full of banknotes and gold bars is a saint. However, I'm not a saint.'"Who is more generou
