"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
Bella was tempted as she asked, "Didn't you always want to be an actress?"Tammy replied, "I don't have what it takes to be one. The industry is filled with gorgeous ladies like you. Look at me. Would anybody ever want me to be in their show? I should probably start learning how to be a celebrity manager instead. I'm sure I'll be able to make a living as soon as you're famous."Undoubtedly, Tammy made Bella very happy by belittling herself and praising Bella at the same time.Then, Bella said gently, "I'm glad that you think this way. I'll get Wein to guide you once this is over. We can run our own office after you got more familiar with being a manager, and I'll give you a share of my earnings."Tammy smiled. "We're cousins. Anything will do."It was a perfect opportunity for Tammy to prove herself by getting Bella out of this sticky situation. The salary of a personal assistant was just too little for her. She figured that being Bella's manager and gaining control of her finance
Keegan glared at her. "What is so important that made you come here personally?"Dahlia said with an angry face, "Something bad happened to your uncle's company. Why aren't you helping him?"Aldor lifted his brows after hearing how Dahlia questioned Keegan.The Kane family was not obliged to help the Crosby family at all, yet Dahlia dared to come to Keegan so confidently and asked for his help. Aldor was surprised.Keegan swept his gaze across her. "Do you know why his production lines were suspended?"Dahlia frowned. "It's because he failed the fire safety check, right? How serious could it be? You know someone working in the fire administration, don't you? It'll be very easy for you to get it done."Keegan's face darkened. "The escape route in his factory was filled with inflammable materials, and none of them were supposed to be there. There are so many people working there. Have you ever thought about how many people could've gotten hurt if there was a fire? Who's going to be
