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
Stella's temple twitched as she gritted her teeth and replied, [Does he really think that I won't spend his money?]Aldor replied instantly, [Mr. Kane said that he wanted you to manage his money for him. You can do whatever you want with it, and it's totally up to you if you want to spend it or not. It's just a bonus for the one quarter anyway.]'Tsk, tsk. Look at this.'Just a bonus for one quarter, yet most people would never be able to earn so much money for several lifetimes. He's just making me hate rich people even more.' Stella thought.She stopped asking Aldor more questions after looking at his replies.She decided to let Keegan do whatever he wanted. She did not want to play his little games because she had something more important to do.The case regarding her reputation was going to commence in two days, and she was planning to attend it in person. So, she talked to Daniel about it.Daniel became worried as soon as he found out that her case was related to Bella."H
However, Bella had no plans to do that at all. Tammy had been her assistant for more than a year, yet all she did was fetch coffee and suchlike for Bella.Tammy made friends with other celebrity assistants after working for Bella on the set for so long. They were earning at least twenty thousand even though their bosses were less popular than Bella, yet Bella only paid her eight thousand.Eight thousand sounded decent, but Rivera was a very expensive place to live in. Tammy would not have a lot of money left after paying rent and her basic living expenses.She talked to Bella about getting a raise a few times now, but Bella would always reject her by saying that she was still young and inexperienced.Tammy did not have a degree. She would have no other choice but to apply for some lowly job and physically demanding job to earn a living if she were to leave Bella.She would not have left the factory for Bella if she could put up with those jobs.Nobody would want to turn back afte
Tammy shrugged and said softly, "My father knew that you've been using my account, and the lawsuit got on the trending list. He found out about it himself. I didn't tell him anything."Bella looked a little angry."Whatever. Stay out of this. I'll talk to your father. You don't have to say anything about this lawsuit to him and don't keep in touch with him. Also, don't ever give him my number, okay?"Tammy quickly nodded.Then, she asked, "Bella, is Mr. Kane going to be in court?""I can't reach him."Bella was very annoyed. She was not worried about losing the lawsuit because she had Tammy to be her scapegoat. The netizens would probably talk about her for a while, and her career would not be affected at all.However, that person specifically wanted her to make Keegan present in court.The deal between her and Keegan had ended. He would not even pick up her call now, let alone listen to her and go to court.That person knew too many of Bella's secrets, and she had to rely on
