'She's an illegitimate daughter. Are you going to send her flowers to celebrate that?' thought Vermont.Vermont quickly called Keegan. "Forget about the flowers. Didn't you see the news? Something happened to your wife!"Keegan was startled. His voice immediately turned nervous. "What happened?"Vermont told him what happened at the court proceedings."That mutt—Albert Jewell—is seriously so heartless. He kicked Stella aside right after you divorced her! He's leeched off your wife all these years, yet he didn't even think of their past relationship now that she's useless to him. You'd even have feelings for your pet if you've spent more than 20 years with it. He's trying to completely ruin your wife's reputation in Rivera's social circle! Did you know that your wife's eyes turned red after hearing the news at the court proceeding? She probably cried after the court proceeding ended."Keegan asked with a dark, tense expression, "Where was the court proceeding?""At XX Courthouse.
Stella grabbed her keys and said, "If the benefits are good, they'll definitely have high requirements for our performance. Is there a capitalist who isn't a leech in this world?"Felicity gave it some thought before she said, "You're right. But, Mr. Saun is pretty handsome. I was shocked the first-time I saw him. He's handsome and familiar-looking. For some reason, I really like him. It's like I've seen him somewhere before."Stella opened the door. Then, she bent down and grabbed her slides."You have a new crush already? Don't you want Doctor Steven anymore?""Sigh! What I have for Mr. Saun is pure admiration. I don't have inappropriate thoughts of him. How can I be good enough for him when he comes from a family like that? Doctor Steven is still better. He's a doctor! Not only does he have a respectable occupation, but he and I are also considered to have the same family background."Then, the door closed.Keegan frowned and looked at the person grabbing his hand."Why did y
She struggled as she scolded him, and Vermont could not contain her."You Jerk, do you think I'll neglect my friend for a guy? Let me tell you something, I won't go and meet Doctor Steven even if you remove all his clothes today. Ask Keegan to come out. If he dares to touch Stella, I'll make you both... Hmm..."Before she could finish her sentence, the door of the elevator opened. Vermont just kissed her on the lips to make her swallow all the nasty words that she was going to say.Coincidentally, a few of the property owners were waiting there to take the elevator. They looked a little awkward when they saw the scene.All of them stepped aside. They watched Vermont carry her out of the elevator in his arms as he kissed her.Vermont only stopped kissing her after he saw the people leave the area. He gasped for air. Then, he squinted as he said, "I wasn't discussing with you. You must go and meet him tonight whether you like it or not!"Felicity was boiling with rage because she w
Keegan turned his head to look over when he heard the door opening sound.They then looked into each other's eyes. Stella could see a hint of grievance in his eyes.'Why didn't he have an expressive face like that when we divorced?' she thought.The sound of the elevator could be heard, and a few people came out of it. All of them looked at them when they saw an able-bodied man squatting in front of her door.She said in an unfriendly manner, "Get in here!"Keegan immediately stood up. But, because he had been squatting for a long time, his legs felt a little numb. He even tottered.Stella was frightened. She subconsciously reached out her hand. She could not help but feel annoyed when she saw him hold the door frame to steady himself.Keegan was frustrated too. He thought, 'I shouldn't have held onto the door frame.'However, Stella did not bother Keegan. She turned her head and went inside her house.Keegan then closed the door and followed Stella. Stella turned her head and
Stella took the first-aid kit from Keegan. She then looked for some useful items. However, she only found medical alcohol, plasters, and cotton swabs. There was no gauze or medical tape.Felicity was used to enduring wounds. She bought this first-aid kit from some group for only a dollar.The medicines inside the first-aid kit were left-over cold and fever medicines, which were all expired.Keegan was lucky that there were plasters and medical alcohol inside the kit.Stella grabbed the cotton swab and dipped it into the alcohol. She lowered her eyes and treated his wound.Stella still had not removed the mask on her face. So, Keegan could not see her expression clearly. But just from how she lowered her eyes, it had melted Keegan's heart.The cotton swabs in Felicity's first-aid kit were not medical cotton swabs. They were small cotton swabs that were used for makeup. The cotton was small, and it felt hard and a little painful when it was used to rub the wound.Keegan frowned ri
Keegan was not good at flirting. Although he was not tender, he was not rough either. But, the kiss gave Stella the experience of being treated in a rough way.He almost tore off her lips. After he initiated the kiss, he was extremely bossy and reckless.Stella was almost instantly covered by his scent. She was surprised, ashamed, and angry at the same time. She opened her mouth and wanted to bite him.Keegan was physically hurt by her many times, so he remembered her moves. When she showed her canine teeth, he immediately pinched her chin.One of Stella's hands was shackled above her head. And, she was still holding a cup with another hand. She then poured the water on Keegan's face without hesitation.But, Keegan just stopped moving for a moment.There was a drop of water on his eyelashes. He sharply raised his eyes slowly. The waterdrops then fell from the bridge of his nose to the end of his nose.Keegan lowered his head to make the waterdrop on the end of his nose fall on S
'Why is Felicity taking so long to move the scooter?' Stella thought.She grabbed her phone and called Felicity. The phone call was connected very quickly."Felicity, what's taking you so long?"But, the person who answered the call was Vermont. "Stella, Felicity is with me."Stella frowned. "She's with you?""Doctor Steven asked her out, but she was shy. So, she wanted me to accompany her."Stella wondered, 'Since when did Felicity get so close to Vermont?'Felicity went out in her sleeping gown just now. She probably won't wear that to go on a date, right?'"Pass the phone to Felicity. I want to talk to her.""Sure," Vermont answered. Thirty seconds later, Felicity's voice could be heard."Stella, I'll be back late tonight."Stella was surprised and asked, "Are you really going on a date with Doctor Steven?"Felicity vaguely murmured, "Don't worry. I'll go home when I'm done having fun.""Okay, then. Be back early.""Okay."After the call ended, Felicity's eyes were re
"There's no need for that," Stella did not even open her eyelids. "I have already entrusted this case to Mr. Moore. What's the reason for switching to another lawyer halfway? If I switched lawyers, what would the others think? They would assume that I didn't trust his professionalism, so I changed to another lawyer. I can't tell him myself."Keegan replied, "I'll tell him. There is no need for you to say anything.""Is the main issue really about whether you say it or I say it?" Stella angrily asked, "I've already paid a portion of it, so I should demand it back from him?""What's wrong with demanding it back?" Keegan asked with furrowed brows. "Does he even need the money?""He doesn't need the money, but I can't embarrass him," Stella said while glaring at him. "Besides, this is my problem. You should stop meddling in it!"Keegan scrunched his eyebrows from hearing it. Just as he was about to speak, Stella said, "If you nag on again, you can take your shirt and leave!"Keegan t
