Dahlia boiled with rage as soon as she heard that. 'What a waste of my time! He told me straight up that he can't perform!'Then, she figured that Cyrene would also try to ask Mrs. Lewie. But, it's impossible that Mrs. Lewie would risk offending her by saying yes to Cyrene.When she thought about that, she felt more at ease.Since both of them were unable to invite Lancelot, then they would have to depend on their respective capabilities to be at the center of attention.Who would have expected Lancelot to be present?Dahlia looked at Mrs. Chapman with an unpleasant expression.Mrs. Chapman did not accomplish the task assigned to her, so she was not too happy either. She could not voice out her troubles, but she still consoled Dahlia and said, "It wasn't Cyrene who invited Lancelot. Mrs. Lewie won't turn me down because of Cyrene. We were quite close during our school days.""If it wasn't Cyrene, then who was it?" Dahlia was upset. "You couldn't even do a simple task right!"Mr
Even though Felicity's words were vulgar, the impact they had was that of a boulder tossed into the water, which caused thousands of waves and ripples."Is she talking about Stella Jewell?""How can it be? If she had the brains and ways to do this, would she have divorced Keegan? Stop joking.""But, there's nobody else named Stella here, right?""I think the girl who shouted is the girl standing next to Stella Jewell.""I think it really was her..."Dahlia's face went red, and then green, and then blue with emotions. Never in her wildest dreams could she have predicted that Stella invited Lancelot.'With Lancelot here, Cordelia is already overwhelmed with joy. There's no room left for excitement for my grand finale.'Stella stole the show!'When She was one of the Kanes, Cordelia liked Stella the most. Now that she is divorced, she still managed to steal my thunder!'Dahlia stared at Stella with fiery eyes full of rage. Stella looked indifferent and calm as if accomplishing t
Felicity scoffed. "Stella is the best. She could get anything done if she wanted to," She spoke as she glared at Keegan. "She doesn't need a man!"Keegan kept quiet.Vermont tried to hold back his laughter as he wrapped his arm around Felicity's shoulder. "Miss bandit, why are you still just a stage supervisor if your best friend is so impressive?"Felicity shook his arm off and glowered at him before she said, "Your friends are only twenty-something, and they're already CEOs of different listed companies. You're thirty, yet you've achieved so few things in your field. All you know is to mess around with women. I would die of shame if I were you."Vermont's mouth twitched. 'I didn't expect this woman to be meaner than Stella.'Felicity went to look for something to eat after she said that."Nothing nice would ever come out of that filthy mouth of yours. You'll never be attractive to any man!" Vermont said.He was about to whine about it to Keegan. However, he turned around and f
Olivia paused and scolded Stella, "What nonsense are you talking about?"Stella smirked. "Mrs. Chapman, do you remember what happened between you and your husband over Dragon Lagoon?"Olivia's face darkened. Clearly, she did remember.Stella wanted to rent Dragon Lagoon, but Olivia told Stella that somebody had already rented it before her to brush her off after Dahlia told her to do so.However, Olivia's husband suddenly asked her about it after two days.Then, Olivia proudly told Erick how she lied to Stella.She thought that Erick would praise her for doing that, but Erick gave her a good scolding instead.Erick scolded her for being shortsighted and told her to stay out of the conflict between Dahlia and her daughter-in-law. He even said that Keegan would be the head of the Kane family sooner or later, so it would do them no good if they upset him and his wife.Olivia did not take what Erick said seriously. She figured that Stella would not necessarily have any power in the
Olivia's eyes turned red. "I did so much dirty work for her, yet this is how she repays me?!"Stella got the reaction she wanted. So, she put on a concerned look on her face and patted Olivia's shoulder. She sneakily tried to smear the cake that was in her hand onto her dress."Think about your future carefully. You have three daughters, after all."Then, she went to get cakes again with the plate, leaving Olivia there to suffer alone.Olivia lowered her head to look at the photos as her fingers shook uncontrollably.Erick could only be so successful because of how she had helped him behind his back.She personally did a lot of nasty and filthy things for him.She always thought that her marriage was different from all her rich friends in her circle. She thought that the love she had with Erick was free and true.They had been married for so many years, and they were very deeply in love. Erick would specifically pick a gift for her for every special occasion, and Olivia's frien
Stella's hands were finally free when Keegan took the plates from her. She shook her sore fingers and gazed at Keegan."Did you see how many kids were around the cake? The ones with tasty fruits would be gone if I were to make a second trip there."Keegan said resignedly, "That doesn't mean you have to build two forts with the cakes, right? Don't you feel embarrassed for fighting with those kids over cakes?"Stella picked up a piece of mango with her fork and said while eating it, "Why would I? Those kids are so much kinder than you. Each of them took a piece for me. Otherwise, how would I get so many pieces?"Keegan did not believe her.He was about to speak, but a child ran toward him with a handful of candies. The child put on an incredulous look on his face when she saw Stella eating those cakes."Miss, didn't you say that you were going to give those cakes to uncle?"Stella was speechless.Keegan had no idea what the child was talking about.Stella struggled to swallow th
Stella was speechless."Knock it off!"Felicity racked her brain and shared her love experience from reading romance novels. "Don't ever say yes if Keegan tries to get you back. Uh... Not so soon, at least. Make him want you."You've got to let him know that you can live without him, and he's the one who needs you to live."Stella's eyelid twitched. "Do you think Keegan is the type of person whose life would be affected if somebody left him?""I thought you couldn't live without him back then. You were so in love with him. You would come to my house whenever you got into a fight with him, so we could scold him together. I always had the urge to ask you to divorce him, but you'd go back to him the next day just because he called you."Stella kept quiet. 'Why would she remember so clearly about something so embarrassing?'"But, you're a different person now, and Keegan became the old you. He would team up with Stinky Cucumber to kidnap me just because he wants to see you..." Felic
Keegan grabbed her wrist and looked at her from head to toe with a cold face. Then, he said in a stern voice, "Are you okay?"Jaylene followed right behind them. She said concernedly with a frightened look on her face, "Miss Jewell, Mr. Marshall, are you guys all right?"Stella did not respond to Keegan, and he got a little nervous. He asked, "Did you get burned?"Then, Stella shrugged his hand off while looking downward. "No."Keegan was about to heave a sigh of relief, but he heard Stella say, "I'm a lucky person. The sparks will avoid me if they see me. How would I be burned?"Keegan was speechless.He wanted to say something, but Trevor came to them.Trevor looked at Stella first to make sure that she was okay before shifting his gaze to Jaylene. "Jaylene, are you okay?"Jaylene replied gently, "I'm fine, brother. I would've gotten hurt if Mr. Kane didn't drag me away just now."Keegan furrowed his brows.Trevor paused and gazed at Keegan after hearing what Jaylene said.
