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
So, even if Keegan kept yawning, he still held Stella's hand tightly. Stella's arms were wet from the sweat of his palms. She could not help but say, "Go to bed if you're sleepy."Keegan half-closed his eyes and said, "I'll sleep when the money is saved on your card, or you'll have to leave again."Stella was speechless. She said to herself, 'I'll leave regardless if I save the money or not. We're already divorced. This place is no longer my home.'However, Stella did not say anything when she saw Keegan's stubbornness. Even if she had said something to him, he would not remember when he woke up."Stella." Keegan hugged her, lay on the pile of money, and called her softly.But, Stella said nothing."Stella." Keegan could not get her response, so he called her again.Stella whispered, "What?""Don't fall in love with Trevor." Keegan rubbed her neck and whispered, "I'll change what you think I'm bad at, but I can't change my face. Look at me more frequently. It'll be pleasing to
"What? You don't remember anything at all?"Keegan was massaging his temple.He tried to recall his memory but all that he could remember was that he hugged Stella and slept on this pile of money.He could vaguely remember what happened in between that. The last thing he could recall clearly was giving Stella a piece of shrimp on the dining table.Keegan looked hungover, and he was frowning when Vermont said to him disappointedly, "You managed to bring her back home with you, yet you didn't do anything that an adult is supposed to do?"Keegan glowered at him. "Would you stop being so dirty-minded? Do you think everyone is like you who'd only think about things like that?"Vermont's mouth twitched. "You're such a gentleman. Why don't you become a priest instead and leave Stella alone, then? Why did you even get married?"Keegan said flatly, "I got married because I want to do the deed legally. Not everyone is as irresponsible as you."Vermont scoffed and roasted him without hold
Keegan sat in the living room. He looked at all the dollar bills scattered around his house and said to Aldor, "Deposit everything into her account."As a competent assistant, Aldor immediately understood who Keegan was referring to.Keegan thought to himself for a while before he said again, "If she asked...""I'll just tell her that it's her allowance from you." Aldor quickly spoke.Keegan suddenly looked a lot more relaxed.Aldor had been working for Keegan for so many years, and his certification alone could allow him to earn a million dollars a year. Not only was he exceptionally good at what he did, but he could also read his boss's mind very well.He knew that he could not tell Stella that the money was a part of the property settlement because it would mean that Keegan acknowledged the divorce.Even though they were legally divorced, his boss clearly did not accept it. So, he understood what he had to do as an assistant."How long did Blake Crosby stay after I left last
The only reason Blake would come to Keegan was for work.Somebody reported the Crosbys for not complying with the fire safety regulation on two of their production lines yesterday.The relevant authorities conducted a spot check on them, and Blake was caught off guard. Not only that their fire control equipment was incomplete, but they also violated the regulations by placing inflammable materials in the escape route. So, both of that production lines were instantly suspended.A chemical plant in Rivera exploded last year, and there were hundreds of casualties. A major safety accident like that had to be taken seriously by everyone, so authorities began to take very strict measures in fire prevention.The two production lines went right against what the authorities were trying to enforce, so the officials had to punish them.Blake did not realize the seriousness of it, and he even tried to bribe his way out of trouble. However, not only that it did not work, but he also almost got
