After Aldor left, Stella turned to look at Keegan.'He didn't even take off his shoes. How will Julian sleep here when he comes back later?' she thought.She went up to Keegan and took off his shoes. Then, she held his legs and pushed his body further into the bed.While she was doing so, she suddenly tripped over her feet and fell right onto Keegan.Stella's chin knocked onto Keegan's belt. It was so painful she gritted her teeth.She propped herself up from the bed. Just as she was about to get up, she suddenly felt something on Keegan's body, which was under her, poking her.Stella was startled. In the very next moment, her expression darkened. She grabbed the pillow next to her and threw it at Keegan's head."Go die, Keegan!" she said and promptly left after.When Aldor came back from buying the boba drink, he saw Keegan sitting by the bed alone in low spirits. Meanwhile, Stella was nowhere to be seen in the campervan."Mr. Kane, where's Mrs. Kane?" asked Aldor.Keegan sa
After Detective Karl concluded his conversation, he departed.Stella remained in place, her expression deep with concern. Her thoughts consumed her: 'Keegan was indeed the one who rescued me from the car accident. But I never contemplated why he was there in the first place.'Both vehicles had flipped and caught fire after the accident. Onlookers kept their distance, fearing they'd be impacted. Additionally, Keegan tends to maintain an indifferent stance toward strangers, making his rescue of me quite unusual.'Initially, I presumed the accident was a deliberate one-sided attack. Yet, there seems to be too much uncertainty now. As Detective Karl suggested, creating friction between them is the most direct approach.If they were complicit in the murder, causing discord between them could fracture their partnership. Then, I wouldn't need to anguish over uncovering the truth.'With this in mind, she retrieved her phone and dialed a number.Meanwhile, Albert had been in awful luck th
Seeing this, Sophia set down the bag in her hand."Dad, mom's just worried about you. You've been working hard for many years, so she just wanted to buy you something nice," she said in a low voice."You call this being worried about me? You're spending my money to worry about me?"At the mention of this, Albert's pent-up anger finally blew up. He continued, "She goes to the mall a few times every week. Does she have that many things to buy? How many clothes, bags, and shoes do you all have in your closets? Yet you're still buying more."Hylda was fed up with his words. "Do you think I'm buying this many things because I'm vain? I'm only doing this because of you! If I don't dress well and wear nice bags, how will I join the social circle of rich ladies? I'll only get the chance to bring you business after I get acquainted with them!"Albert did not appreciate her actions at all."This is my second marriage. Who in the circle doesn't know this? Those rich ladies in the social cir
Stella grabbed the phone. After she muttered something, she hung up the phone.Felicity placed the final dish onto the table and turned to Stella."My Queen, it's time to eat!" she shouted.Stella laughed. Then, she slipped on her shoes and walked over.There were four dishes and a bowl of soup, which was mushroom soup. It was amazing."Felicity, your idea's brilliant. Albert was scared shitless."Felicity's eyes lit up."Tell me more, tell me more!"Stella told Felicity what happened at the Jewell residence today.After Detective Karl told her about sowing discord, she discussed the matter with Felicity.Felicity was quick-witted and suggested starting on their youngest son first.Firstly, it was easier to coax children. Secondly, children acting this way was terrifying. It was like how children in western films made drawings that foretold death.'Who wouldn't get scared? Not to mention that Albert's a coward,' thought Stella.Stella and Felicity worked together. After th
"What a coincidence! I didn't expect you guys to be the tenants of 901."Then, Vermont smelled the aroma of the food and stared at them."Stella, you made those yourself?"Stella said, "Felicity made them, not me."She paused.'Why'd Vermont move here?' she wondered.Stella only learned that the unit they were living in was under Trevor's name a few days ago when she was cross-checking the property owner's information with the management.Then, she tentatively asked her agent, Kaiden.Kaiden said the houses the company was letting the artists stay in were all currently under Trevor's name. This was because the company had just been established, and this was the most hassle-free method.Then, he told her the units on the few floors above and below hers all belonged to the company. When the time came, they would arrange for other artists to move in. They might also rent the units to influencers and such to get rent money.Stella did not ask any more questions after hearing his
Stella was also troubled.'I can't throw him out. Back when Rainee was hospitalized, Vermont had helped me, so I can't be too harsh. But Felicity looks like she doesn't like Vermont, so I can't just let him stay. I'm in a dilemma,' she thought.Vermont searched around the kitchen and could not find a plate or cutlery.In disbelief, he returned to the dining table and said, "Do you guys only have four bowls?"Stella said, "We only moved in recently, so we don't have many things yet."Each of them had a bowl and a soup bowl, so there were no extra bowls.Felicity was not as polite as Stella."There's only two of us staying here. Why would we need that many bowls?" she paused.She narrowed her eyes and continued, "Why don't you eat with your hands? Since you're so thick-skinned, the food probably won't burn you."Vermont's lips twitched. "I don't have a problem with that. But can you still stomach the food after I touch them with my hands?"Felicity was at a loss for words."I'
Keegan was stunned.This was the second time he was amazed by the character she portrayed.The last time was when she portrayed a psychopathic cannibal serial killer in Jurisdiction.Stella glowed when she was in front of the camera.Even though her face was familiar, she would make people feel that she embodied the character she played when she was in front of the camera.In the eyes of others, she was like a luminous pearl covered with dust. The radiance could not be hidden when the dust was removed.But in Keegan's eyes, she was never covered with dust. It was just that the glimmer of radiance was kept in his secret compartment back then. Only he could enjoy it.But a luminous pearl shined brighter in a darker place. It was meant to be admired by the world.He could not hide it at all.Stella came out after she was done cutting the fruits. Her eye twitched when she saw the scene in the dining area.Keegan, Vermont, and Felicity were sitting at the dining table.Keegan was
They even argued about which was the nicer pie, apple pies or pumpkin pies.Vermont was a southerner. He stubbornly said apple pies were better. Felicity was a northern girl. Naturally, she felt pumpkin pies were the best.At the end of their debate, Felicity bragged. "I'll make a whole pumpkin pie for you tomorrow. I'll show you which is the best."Vermont slightly smiled. He looked serious as he said, "Show me. But apple pies will remain on top!"Felicity's expression was ugly. She said, "You just wait!"She then immediately got up and ran to the kitchen to prepare the ingredients for the pumpkin pie. She wanted to give Vermont a brutal slap in the face with the Northern pumpkin pie.Stella saw Vermont looked smug. She felt that Felicity fell into his trap.The four of them finished eating all four of the dishes and the soup.Truthfully, Keegan ate quite little. Stelle did not eat much either because Keegan was there. Felicity ate as much as Stella. Only Vermont ate a lot.V
