After loading everything onto the truck, Trevor drove Stella and Felicity to Clouditude International, a really nice area in Rivera.Unlike Stella's previous place, here, everything looked great - the greenery was well-kept, and the water was clean, not all covered in algae.The apartment buildings were far apart, which let in a lot of sunlight. Each floor had a cool balcony where they could have a BBQ and hang out with friends.At first, Stella thought Trevor's place might be kind of far away, like on the top floor. But it turned out it was actually the biggest and fanciest apartment in the whole building.The building had fifteen floors, and Stella and Felicity were on the 9th. When they opened the curtains, they saw this awesome water system and a rockery right in the middle of the community from their window walls. The view was amazing, and the apartment was huge - almost 3000 square feet.Felicity looked around the place excitedly from room to room but Stella hesitated. "How
Stella felt taken aback. Trevor's generosity with the accommodation and the agent seemed excessive. 'This feels a bit... too much. Besides, I'm not that interesting,' Stella thought to herself.Moreover, Trevor didn't strike her as someone who had a crush on her. 'Maybe... he believes I have potential to become an A-list movie star? Is that why he's investing so much in me?' Stella pondered mockingly. 'Oh well. Never mind. I've already signed the contract and moved in. Let's just see how things unfold.'Suddenly, her phone buzzed with a notification. Stella checked and found that Keegan had sent her money again. As she glanced at his message, her expression remained neutral initially, but her lips twitched when she read, [I didn't even get mad at you for hugging Marshall.]'How dare he dig up the past!'She stared at the text and continued reading it. [Can you stop being mad at me?]Stella sent him one dollar with a message. [No.]Keegan quickly transferred one million dollars to
'That mutt! Did he think Julian staying at his place would make me want to send him to his college entrance exam? Well, I'm not going!' Stella thought.Shortly after, Shelly gave her a call."Stella, I'm really sorry to bother you. The place for Julian's test is so far from the orphanage."Ms. Cecilia and I don't know much about these college tests. We almost booked a hotel close by, but by the time we tried, they were all taken."I was worried Julian wouldn't get enough rest, but thank goodness for you."Every year during the college entrance tests, hotels near the exam center would get fully booked, and their prices would skyrocket.A regular room would start at three thousand dollars, and they weren't anything special. They weren't even soundproof. The nicer rooms went for five or six thousand dollars, but those got snatched up really fast.Originally, Shelley thought about renting an RV and hiring a driver to take Julian there so he could rest in the car during the break.B
Julian remembered Stella's words about Keegan graduating from high school more than ten years ago. 'Can he really teach me?' he pondered.However, Julian soon realized that Keegan's approach wasn't conventional; it was rooted in his problem-solving experience.Keegan rarely needed to write out calculations for multiple-choice questions. He simply studied the question and deduced the answers from the options. Sometimes, he directly inferred the numerator or denominator from the provided data, eliminating incorrect choices.Julian's teacher had introduced a similar method, but learning it from Keegan made it much easier to grasp and apply.After that, Julian enthusiastically delved into the practice. Once Keegan finished explaining two sets of questions, Julian eagerly brought out a fresh batch to tackle. With a solid groundwork and quick understanding, within two hours, his speed in answering multiple-choice questions had improved by over ten minutes, achieving an accuracy rate of 7
Even without proof, Trevor remained convinced that what occurred wasn't accidental. Yvette had mentioned that the chances of the hospital mixing up samples were incredibly slim. Trevor's inability to uncover the true reason suggested to him that they were adept at concealing it.Despite reaching out to the nurses and doctors responsible for delivering the babies at the time of the incident, it had been too long ago for them to recall specific details. So, Trevor found himself in a waiting game, hoping for any follow-up.Looking at Stella's photo on her profile, Trevor sighed heavily. Due to Stella's striking resemblance to their mother, he discovered he had a sister.Suddenly, just as he was thinking about this, the door was pushed open. Trevor paused. When he saw that it was Jaylene, he said in frustration, "Jaylene, where are your manners? You don't even knock on the door now when you enter my office.""The door was open," Jaylene said with a smile as she walked over. "Besides, y
Trevor was taken aback, and his expression turned cold. "You signed a contract with Bella Young?"Unaware of the change in his demeanor, Jaylene proudly exclaimed, "She terminated her deal with Green Hill Media, and I managed to snatch her from Royal Deluxe Entertainment for you. I offered her an 8 million dollar signing bonus. Quite the steal, right?"Trevor was grim. He glanced at the contract bearing Bella's fingerprint, his expression souring. However, Jaylene continued talking excitedly. "I'm expecting some appreciation this time. It's not too much to ask. I just want you to—"Before Jaylene could finish her sentence, Trevor sharply interrupted, "Who gave you the authority to bring her on board?!"Jaylene was taken aback. Trevor had never shown anger toward her, let alone raised his voice. It took her a while to gather herself."I only wanted to assist, Trevor. Bella's contract with Green Hill Media ended, and many companies were vying to sign her. The highest offer for a sig
Jaylene was with Trevor both times she had an asthma attack. This made Wenham feel that Trevor did not take good care of Jaylene. "You really are something, huh? How could you get mad at Jaylene? Don't you know that she isn't in good health? Can't you just tell her off nicely?"All she did was sign a contract with a celebrity. What's the big deal? Just let her do it if she wants to. It doesn't matter whether that girl can get popular. We don't need the money. So why the hell did you yell at her?!"Trevor said nothing.Darcie brought over some water and tried to calm Wenham down. "Forget it. Jaylene is fine. You always go to war if there's any trouble regarding Jaylene. Trevor was thinking about the company. You know how much he cares for Jaylene. It was just a small quarrel. You saying all this is ruining their relationship."Jaylene was awakened by the noise and went downstairs. "Dad, I told you I'm fine. Why did you ask Trevor to come?""I'm just giving him an earful. If anythin
Upon learning that Bella wouldn't be playing the role of the Queen in "The Palace," her fans expressed their dissatisfaction. Consequently, when Elegant Media reposted the Facebook announcement, Bella's fans were unsure of its significance. Some speculated that it might have been an attempt to undermine someone involved in the situation.Soon, the search [Terminated Contract] became trending, and Bella's fans boldly spoke out against Elegant Media.Initially, Bella was happy because of the signing, but when she saw the trending search, her mood soured. She quickly contacted someone to help suppress the news."This bunch of idiots is utterly insane!"Bella was furious. "It was difficult enough to get signed under Elegant Media, and here they are, causing trouble. They actually think that they're the shit after getting some attention, judging here and there. I can sign with whoever I want to sign. What does it have to do with them, huh?""Bella, please keep your voice down. You shou
