Elegant Media.Trevor finally went back to the office after going on several blind dates. He had five meals and four cups of coffee in just a day. He felt like skinning Keegan alive. The women Keegan introduced him to looked decent, but their personalities were very weird.Three of them were considered normal, but one asked him when he planned to marry her right after she saw how handsome he was. The other directly asked him if he wanted to rest in a hotel.'Is going to a hotel on the first date even appropriate?'Are we really going just to take a rest?' Trevor thought to himself but did not expose the lady who suggested it. He even suspected Keegan was not trying to get him a girlfriend but just a friend with benefits.'Why would he sign the divorce paper if he worries I'll be with Stella? Does he think that Stella will still belong to him even after the divorce? Where did he get his confidence from?'Trevor was thinking about ways to take revenge on Keegan. He waited for a lon
However, Jaylene was too young then and forgot about that woman after seeing that photo. Also, they did not want to remind themselves of that woman, so they put away all her photos.She looked at that woman's face again and felt like that woman looked surprisingly familiar to Stella. Then, she realized why her father looked like that when he met Stella at the dinner that day.She stared at the photo for a while before putting it back. Then, she closed the drawer and left with the essential oil.Keegan said he wanted to grab a meal with Trevor but did not eat after they met. Instead, he ordered some alcohol. Trevor felt strange after seeing how gloomy he looked."Did your uncle chase you out of the company?"Keegan glared at him. "If anything, I'd be one chasing him out.""Oh, then..." Trevor squinted and said in a low voice, "Did you find out that I'm getting together with Stella?"Keegan paused and said without holding back, "She's not attracted to people like you."Trevor's m
The text was from Xavier. Jaylene paused for a while.'What result?' She thought to herself.Trevor only came back with Keegan about ten minutes later. He was not looking very happy as he started scolding Keegan as soon as he sat down, "Keegan Kane, you're so useless. It's been over ten years, yet you still can't drink!"He reached for his phone and unlocked it. He paused for a moment after looking at that text message. Then, he dialed Aldor's number.Jaylene spoke after he was done speaking to Aldor, "Trevor, we can send Mr. Kane back home. There's no need to trouble his assistant so late at night.""Why should we do that?" Trevor sipped on his alcohol. "He's a man who just got divorced, and you're an unmarried lady. Your reputation will be tarnished if anybody ever sees you two together.Jaylene looked mad as she mumbled softly, "How close-minded!"Aldor came after a while.He thanked Trevor and Jaylene before taking Keegan away. Also, he took care of the bill before leaving.
Felicity's phone rang when she was scooping the mashed potato. She picked her phone up when she went to the dining table and looked at it. Then, she cursed."That scumbag Keegan has a new girlfriend already!"Stella paused without doing anything else.Felicity placed her phone in front of Stella. "Look at this scumbag. He's hugging another woman right after the divorce!"Even though Stella told herself to ignore it, she could not help but sweep her glance across it. Felicity was showing something that Vermont posted. It was a photo of a woman holding Keegan's arm. It looked like it was taken in a pub or a bar.Keegan's eyes looked red and squinty like he had too much to drink. However, the woman looked very sober, and she was frowning worriedly. The woman was not a stranger to her, but someone that she had met just not long ago, Jaylene Saun.Vermont posted that photo with the caption: [A perfect match.]Stella picked up a piece of grilled eggplant with her fork, "Let's eat. The
'How could it be negative?'He stared at the report for a while before he picked up his phone and called someone. Then, that person picked up."Yvette, is the result out yet?"A woman's voice could be heard on the phone. "I was just done with a meeting. I'll go and ask about it for you. It's probably ready by now."The lady paused and asked, "Trevor, do you have an illegitimate child?"Trevor frowned. "Cut it out. Go on and send it to me if it's ready.""Okay."After hanging up, Yvette sent him the test results about ten minutes later. Trevor looked at it and brought his brows even closer together. Both tests used the same sample, yet the two hospitals' results differed. He picked his phone up again. "Yvette, is the result accurate?""Of course, it is. We're specialized in doing this. We should look for another job if something goes wrong with this."Trevor personally gave her the sample to do the test. Nobody else other than the two of them knew about it. It just could not go
The officer said, "The system can't be wrong. It shows you have a mansion in Midvale Mountain and a four thousand square feet property in Clouditude International. Therefore, following the relevant legislation, you cannot purchase another house."Stella was confused.Midvale Mountain was a very popular residential area in Rivera with many mansions. Royalpark Villa, where she used to live with Keegan, was located at Midvale Mountain. Stella had no idea if that officer was referring to that.'What's happening? Also, Clouditude International? What's that about? I have no idea at all.'Stella said in a low voice, "Could you check when my name was registered under these two properties?"The officer did something on the computer and said, "It was March last year for the mansion in Midvale Mountain and September last year for the unit in Clouditude International."The look on the seller's face turned angry after hearing what the officer said."Why would you waste my time if you're not
Ever since Stella discovered the dates her name was registered for those two properties, she felt uneasy. They were not transferred to her by Keegan after their divorce. Instead, it was transferred to her before their marriage fell apart.The discovery left Stella with an indescribable feeling. Unlike expensive bags or beautiful clothes, a house provides security. She used to browse forums and often came across posts similar to topics like these:[I've been married for five years and have two kids, but my husband won't add my name to our property title. I'm starting to wonder if I should divorce him.][My fiancé paid for the down payment on our new house, but he wants me to cover the renovation costs and split the mortgage with him. When I asked him to add my name to the property title, he said I shouldn't be so materialistic. Should I still go ahead with the marriage?][I've been paying off the mortgage for our house for three years and just recently found out that the property ti
"Those houses are yours. The Housing Authority office close at five-thirty, so we should be able to make it. Hurry up and come over," said Stella.Keegan felt that Stella did not want to dwell on when he transferred the properties to her name; she was more concerned with cutting ties with him. He clenched his fists and said coldly, "I'm busy."Stella furrowed her brows and asked, "Then when are you free? I'm in a hurry to buy a house.""If you hurry, go— Mhm..." Before Keegan could finish speaking, Vermont, who had just run over, covered his mouth and said, "Hey Stella, it's Vermont. Keegan and I are outside. We're about to kick off a new project, and Keegan's been joining me for on-site surveys lately. Unfortunately, I don't think he'd have much free time."Keegan glared at Vermont, wanting to pry his hand off. Pressing the phone tight, Vermont whispered to Keegan, "If you still want Stella as your wife, you better watch what comes out of your mouth."Keegan's hand stopped, and h
