"Tell her she made the wrong move by thinking that she can make the news with that incident. I'm going to make her regret ever sending me those things," Keegan said with a deep voice, as he was on guard. He hung up after that.Stella looked puzzled. 'What the fuck is he on about??? Who's trying to make the headlines, and who sent him stuff?'Marshall was also confused. "I thought he knew that it was you," he said. "He wouldn't recognize me even if you put my voice-acting work in front of him," Stella smiled and said."That's because your work is immaculate. Even I can't recognize that it's you just by listening to it," Marshall said with a smile.Stella smiled back and said, "I hope everything goes well tomorrow."Many people gathered at the gates of the Court of Rivera at 9:00 a.m.Since several of the people Dusk Galaxy sued were big fans of Bella, other fans decided to show up to support them. They treated the matter as their duty; to back up the heroes who fought for their
"I mean, how would she go viral without Bella? Didn't she say she was taking a break from social media? Why is she still doing all this then? Clearly, she's trying to make a comeback through the lawsuit.""Wouldn't it be a slap in the face if she comes back online?""She wouldn't have dragged Bella if she cared about that. Didn't her fans keep bragging about how another actor is her face double? Imagine the horror when they find out how ugly their idol is!""Yeah. Why would she stick with being a voice actor if she's good-looking and great at her lines? I can't wait to see what she looks like, and the shock on her fans' faces.""Turn down the exposure a little and don't put a filter on," said one of the girls behind Keegan."Okay," the other replied.Keegan was expressionless. Although he could not quite hear what the two were discussing, he figured that they did not like the voice actor, Dusk Galaxy. He turned around and asked Aldor, "Do all celebrity fans act like this nowadays
[You really want to buy the shares?] Trevor asked.[Yes.] Keegan replied.[Swing by my company in the afternoon, and we'll talk.]Just as Keegan was about to text him back, the court started to fill with noise. Keegan looked up and saw the judge, the plaintiff, and the defendant enter the courtroom one after the other.Beside Marshall sat a woman with a baseball cap and a mask covering her face. However, her figure seemed inexplicably familiar. Keegan frowned, wanting to find out who she was, but the woman suddenly stopped and shot him a look. When their eyes met, Keegan's heart trembled. 'Stella?!'Before he could process why Stella was involved in the trial, he noticed she glanced at him fiercely and followed Marshall to the plaintiff's table.Keegan subconsciously stood up, but the bailiff stopped him, saying he had to remain seated because the trial was about to start. Hence, he had no choice but to suppress the restlessness in his heart and sit down with a sullen expression.
Stella had no bad angles. Her looks were outrageously perfect, whether viewed from the front or the side. Though her facial features may not be the best-looking when separated, they looked amazing when combined.Looks were based on more than just refined and prominent facial features. Cosmetic surgery was getting more advanced nowadays, yet people would still know if someone had any work done on their face. That was because the excessive pursuit of perfection for each facial feature often causes the neglect of facial alignment, the most challenging aspect to control during plastic surgery.Stella was striking at first glance because her facial alignment was perfect. She did not possess what society deemed women needed to be beautiful— small shoulders, voluminous hair, or an hourglass figure. Stella's shoulders were broad, and her hair was flat due to the hat she wore, but neither affected her beauty.The haters who wanted to capture ugly photos of Dusk Galaxy and bash her on the int
'On the night Marshall brought Stella as a date to the charity event, he didn't know she was Keegan's wife. He even called her Ms. Thompson. At that time, Marshall smoothed things over for her and told us that he was involved in her family lawsuit. He even mistakenly thought that her surname was Thompson.''Could this be the lawsuit that he was talking about back then? There are so many famous lawyers in Rivera. What a coincidence it is that Stella met Marshall, who had just returned to the country?' Keegan stared at the plaintiff, and his eyes darkened. He did not believe that there were so many coincidences in this world.The judge's assistant read out the court rules, but Stella could not focus. When she entered the venue and saw Keegan there, her heart sank.Keegan had made an inexplicable warning in a call last night. He must have known about the lawsuit, but he did not know she was the plaintiff. So, it was clear that he was not there for her.A few days ago, Marshall asked s
Stella's health was not in a good state, and she was still a child at heart. Keegan did not understand why she wanted a baby. 'It's like a child taking care of a child!' he thought. Keegan felt like it was not the best time to have children, so they had a huge argument about it.At that time, the quality of Albert's products was also a problem that involved Stella. This incident made an impact on Chandler's project, and the board members of the company kept asking Keegan for an explanation. Paired with the disagreement about the children, the two got into a serious argument.After they quarreled, Keegan went back to cleaning up Albert's mess, so he was not home for a while. 'Both of these issues occurred during July of last year...' Keegan thought, and his heart tightened.He did not know about the sleeping pills nor when the medical report was released. A lump started to form in Keegan's throat as he realized that though Stella hid Dusk Galaxy from him, she never once hid her feeli
After deliberation from the jury, the judge said, "You may proceed."Ted looked Stella straight in the eyes and said, "Ms. Jewell, from your background profile, we can see that you graduated from acting at Trinity University three years ago with the highest distinction. Yet, you were unemployed. Can you tell us what you have been doing for the past three years?"Marshall frowned. The other party obviously came prepared. Keegan looked sullen while Ted tried to divert the case to public opinion. Stella looked at Ted without fear and said, "Does my life after graduating have anything to do with today's case?"Ted paused and said, "Not for now.""Then I refuse to answer that question.""The plaintiff has the right not to answer questions that are unrelated to the case at hand. You may ask another question, Mr. Eldrich."Ted nodded and asked the second question. "According to the documents, Ms. Jewell, your mother was bedridden." He paused for a while and continued, "You must've been
Stella looked over to where the shrieks came from and saw Keegan standing sullenly at the public gallery. He was staring at the two girls in the back row with a cold and gloomy expression. Before the girls could process what was happening, they trembled as they met Keegan's eyes. "W-What are you doing?"Keegan gave them a cold look and replied expressionlessly. "Calcium deficiency. Leg cramps."The girls' mouths twitched when they heard that. 'Who the hell kicks someone else's chair when they have a leg cramp?' However, Keegan emitted a scary aura, so they did not dare retaliate, even if they knew he was making things up.Aldor glanced at the two haters in the back and thought they were lucky to be girls. Otherwise, Keegan would have kicked more than just their chairs. 'People who sexualize women because they're pretty are disgusting,' he thought.The bailiffs maintained order at the scene by saying, "Silence in court."Stella did not see Keegan kick the chairs, so she had no idea
