Aurora was stunned."Here?"Jaylene nodded, "I ran into him in the corridor. He must be having a gathering with his friends in a different room."Aurora frowned, "But he clearly said he has work tonight when I asked him during the day.""Maybe he's here to discuss work with someone," said Jaylene.Aurora frowned. Suddenly, she stood up and went out in a hurry.Jaylene lowered her gaze and gently fiddled with the tea leaves using the lid of her cup."Keegan, do you like to drink tea?" she asked softly.Keegan still had not gotten a reply from Stella, so he was a little uninterested. He glanced at Jaylene and said indifferently, "So-so."Jaylene thought she had found a common topic between them, so she enthusiastically talked to Keegan about the taste and craftsmanship of various teas.Keegan listened quietly. While he did not show many emotions on his face, he also did not interrupt her. This caused Jaylene to grow more confident. She continued for a long time, but Keegan stil
'However, she didn't. Dahlia and I will never be as close as she and Aurora. She only cares about my emotions because she's worried about grandma reprimanding her or for the benefit of her own family;'it was never simply out of a mother's concern for her child. And it's not that I had never told Dahlia what I like; it's just she had never taken it to heart,' Keegan thought.He stared momentarily at the chili crab on his plate. Moments later, he grabbed the plate and dumped it into the trash bin beside him.Dahlia did not see his actions, but Darcie did. She glanced at Keegan and had a thoughtful expression.Stella immediately put on a drunk act the moment Marshall opened the door. She wobbled about as if she could not stand steadily.She even tripped when going through the door. She would have fallen to her feet if Marshall had not caught her in time.Stuart was startled by her "stumble." He hurriedly asked, "What's the matter with her?"Marshall half-dragged her and said in a
Aurora had already let her anger get the better of her, so she was not bothered to watch her words. She said through gritted teeth, "Am I wrong? She hit on you right after she dumped my brother. Forget about my brother letting his infatuation for her get the better of him. But Marshall, how could you also get bewitched by this woman?"Aurora naturally had a powerful voice. Now that she was speaking loudly with a high pitch, she instantly caught the attention of everyone present.Marshall darkened his expression."Did you not cause enough trouble on the set previously? Now you're here spouting nonsense and ruining other people's reputations. Is this how Madam Crosby raised you?" he said.Aurora's face fell, "Everything I said is the truth! Right now, the Jewell family doesn't see her as their own, so she's nothing in the social circle. She's deliberately seducing you because she wants to reenter the circle. Don't let her fool you, Marshall!"Stella watched how exasperated Aurora lo
'She actually dared to splash boiling water onto someone. If Leighton hadn't shielded me, most of the boiling water would've gotten onto my body and face,' Stella thought.Leighton's neck was severely scalded. Even after rinsing the scald with cold water on time, a circle of blister still appeared. He also had a red patch on his back which looked gruesome.'He's an idol who makes a living using his face. I really regret my actions now that he's gotten scalded on his body. Why did I provoke—that mad dog—Aurora? I should've just beaten up that motherfucker!' she thought.The ruckus outside quickly reached the private lounge Keegan was in.Dahlia frowned, "What're they doing outside? Why is it so noisy?"Aurora took a sip of her tea with a pale face. She was so nervous her hands were trembling.Keegan glanced at her. Suddenly, he stood up and said, "I'll go outside and take a look."Aurora stiffened and tightly gripped her cup. Jaylene followed suit and stood up."Keegan, I'll go
Stella was startled momentarily.'Isn't he at the office? Did he teleport here?' she wondered.Before she could respond, Jaylene followed behind him and said, "Marshall, Ms. Jewell."Stella froze and looked at Jaylene. Then, she glanced at a nervous-looking Keegan, and her gaze darkened slightly.Marshall explained, "Stella is fine. Someone else got hurt."Then Keegan saw Leighton, who had gotten scalded. He felt a little relieved knowing Stella was not hurt. He wanted to say something, but the car downstairs was ready. So Stuart told everyone to make way and send Leighton to the hospital first.Stella withdrew her hand. Then, she followed them with a dark expression. Marshall wanted to run after her but was stopped by Keegan."What happened?" Keegan asked in a low voice.Jaylene also chimed in, "Marshall, what's going on?"Marshall glanced at the two."Aurora barged into the room just now and splashed boiling water onto Stella. Mr. Hall shielded her, so his back got scalded.
"Mr. Kane..." Jaylene went to him and said his name, "Should we go to the hospital?"Keegan kept quiet and went back to the private room with a cold face.Aurora had left long ago. Dahlia was shocked when she saw him coming back with an angry face. Keegan cut to the chase and directly said, "Where's Aurora?""She's not feeling well, so she went back."Keegan's face darkened. Then, he took out with phone and dialed Aurora's number.Aurora had just gotten into the cab when she saw Keegan calling her. She got so scared that she declined the call without hesitating. Then, she said hurriedly, "Drive now!"The driver asked, "Where to?'"Anywhere! Just start driving!"She handed the driver some notes. "Now!"The driver then immediately started the car.Keegan called his bodyguards after Aurora hung up on him.He said coldly after the call connected, "Bring Aurora to me! Break her legs and drag her back to me if she resists!"The look on Dahlia's face changed as she stood up abrupt
"You have two endorsements coming, and both are even skin care products. How are you going to take the job now? Do you know how much money we're going to lose?"Stella pursed her lips and softly said, "I'm sorry..."Leighton cut her off as soon as she spoke and said to Estelle annoyedly, "You're spitting all over my wound. Are you trying to make things worse for me?"Estelle glared at him. "Why did the company assign me to such a troublemaker?!"'He'd lose his ability to think whenever he saw his crush and do anything to defend her!'Leighton lay on the bed and buried his face in the pillow. Then, he said in a low and muffled voice, "Find somebody better to work with, then!"Estelle rolled his eyes at the ungrateful guy. He was about to say something, but his phone rang. Then, he went outside to answer it.Stuart was very distressed as he looked at Leighton's wound. Then, he pursed his lips and said, "Get some rest. You don't have to come when we start shooting. I'll reschedule
'Stella is grabbing my hand! She cares about me!' Leighton thought to himself.Stella massaged him more and asked softly, "How do you feel? Any better?"'Not only do I feel better, but I also feel like I'm floating in the sky!'He replied in a low voice, "I feel okay.""I'll keep on massaging for you then."Estelle was stunned as soon as he came inside. He saw Leighton burying his face in the pillow and letting the doctor clean his wound.Stella was holding his hand, and his ears looked extremely red. She massaged his hand while talking to him. Leighton looked just like a tamed golden retriever puppy. He could not convince himself that he was the same pit bull he used to manage!The door was pushed open again when he was still hesitating about talking to Leighton. An elegant man dressed in a suit came inside.Estelle frowned. "Who are you?"Keegan ignored him and directly walked toward Stella."Stella." He said softly.Stella paused and looked at him coldly. "Mr. Kane, you s
