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
Keegan started massaging Leighton's hand with his thumb before he could finish speaking. Keegan was so strong that Leighton's hand felt numb, and he yelled in pain.Stella reminded Keegan. "Knead and rub. Don't just press your thumb down."Keegan replied gently, "Sure. Have a seat and rest."However, he did not go any easier on Leighton at all.Leighton was in so much pain that he clenched his teeth and said, "Stop it. Fuck... It doesn't hurt anymore!Leighton kept signaling Estelle to get that madman out of there. But Estelle persuaded him after seeing how commanding and elegant Keegan was, "You're a big man. Just hang in there."'Fuck! This useless manager is such a coward!'Estelle looked at Stella before shifting his gaze to Keegan.'Something's going on between these two. The man looks so polished, yet he turns into a doting and soft man when he talks to Stella.'He looks just as good as the pit bull too. He even has this composed aura that could only be nurtured by exper
Keegan would start arguing with Stella without hesitation if he were to hear the same thing back then. Aurora was different from Dahlia to him as he really treated Aurora as his sister.Keegan and Quentin both looked forward to Aurora coming into this world. Aurora used to like him very much. She always kept the best things from everybody else because she wanted to give them to Keegan.Keegan started living with Cordelia after Quentin passed away. He spent most of his childhood with Cordelia ever since he almost drowned.Cordelia was worried that Dahlia would make a mistake while raising Keegan. She also hated how she viewed things. All Dahlia thought about was the Crosbys, and she did not want Dahlia to corrupt Keegan. So, Cordelia decided to raise him despite her age.However, Aurora was too young and could not live without her mother yet. Dahlia would not let Cordelia take Aurora away from her either, so Cordelia let her take care of Aurora.After Quentin passed away, Keegan an
