He was slightly keen on knowing about Keegan's reaction after she fell off the horse before Keegan. On the other hand, Bella was in a big conundrum. She had risen to popularity within these two years. Just as she debuted, the resources she obtained were great.However, the piece of the pie was only so big. If Stella ate a bigger part, it was natural that she had taken other people's share of the pie. The actresses who were in the same field and career path had a deep resentment toward her. Yet, for some reason, Bella's crew was highly obnoxious. The popular searches they bought off were either used to demean others or to show dominance.During the event of the massive pile-up previously, the incident about her monopolizing the popular searches to sensationalize herself had already displeased everyone. In a few days, she caused another issue that riled the people mockery. Even the fans were unable to control the comments.Bella was so furious that she wanted to curse at someone. Neve
Stella's lips twitched. "Was your family business this huge because you used dirty tactics like this to scam people? Why don't you go and rob people instead?"Keegan answered, "That would be illegal. I am still quite compliant toward the law."Stella glared at him for a long time and could not think of any words to rebut him. In the end, she scrambled away with the excuse of using the washroom. Keegan watched her fleeing silhouette and then glanced at the deep marks on the sofa. He paused, then stretched his hands to loosen his tie.When he exited the company building, Keegan detoured to fetch Aurora. Aurora usually did not like to attend these types of events. She thought that the people were being phony and there was too much small talk. In addition to that, she frequently spoke outrageous things, was arrogant, and easily offended people. Hence, even Dahlia did not ask her to attend. On the other hand, Aurora preferred shopping and drinking afternoon tea with the other heiresses.
After entertaining many celebrities and divas, she had never seen someone as unreasonable as Aurora Kane.Thankfully, the manager came in time and quickly smoothed things over. "The subordinates don't know what they're talking about. There is no need to be angry, Ms. Kane. Why not look at this piece? This piece is also a design that came today. This piece is also the one that won awards at the spring fashion show. Why don't you see if you like it or not?"The manager's speech had just finished when Stella came out of the fitting room wearing the gown. The gown was made of burgundy red silk with a firm drape that fully accentuated the female curves. Stella's skin tone was fair, so the contrast in color was strong and could increase her seductive charm to the extreme.Keegan's gaze froze for a few seconds and naturally moved away. Aurora saw Stella's effect, and she wanted that dress even more after she saw Stella wearing it. She was eager to shed Marshall's image of her as a little g
Keegan did not seem to notice her anger, as he nonchalantly said, "You're not suited for it."The half-hearted answer made Stella chuckle. "It's made to my measurements, yet it's still not suitable? Keegan, if you want to lie to me, at least come up with a better excuse."Keegan furrowed his brows. It was a sign that he was getting frustrated. However, he still suppressed his rage and patiently said in a serious tone, "You can choose any of the best gown's in the store, but not this piece."He felt that he had already made the biggest compromise, yet Stella looked like she wanted to pick a fight with him."What if I insist on having this gown?" Stella said.Keegan finally lost his patience and coldly said, "I already said that you can't have this dress!"Stella pursed her lips tightly. Aurora felt smug deep down and said, "Stella, although the dress was custom-made to your measurements, this is my brother's money we're spending. He can give it to whoever he wants."Stella looked
Stella repeated herself, "Didn't he say that it was up to me to choose?""Mr. Kane did say that, but..." The manager hesitated a little, then he tactfully said, "Mrs. Kane, this is a charity gala. The ladies of Rivera's elites would be dressed lavishly to attend it. If you wear a suit, it wouldn't be suitable.""I'll wear a suit." Stella knew about the manager's doubts and added, "If Keegan looks for you, you can say that I insisted on wearing it myself. Let him settle this with me."Since she had said that, the manager could no longer refuse and brought Stella to pick up her suit. Some people required clothes to accentuate their beauty, while some were born to be models. They would be able to command attention regardless of whatever clothes they had.Stella chose a white woman's suit with a black low-cut vest inside to match it. Her long hair was tied into a ponytail. Her whole presence was different from how she looked in the gown she had worn previously. She looked intellectual
Stella was speechless."Mr. Kane, this is just a coincidence. Do you believe me?"Clearly, she just wanted to anger Keegan and intentionally did the opposite of what he wanted. But, who knew that she would pick an outfit that matched his...Keegan glanced at her as he asked a rhetorical question. "Would you believe it if someone told you this is just a coincidence?"Stella was speechless.It seemed like no matter how she tried to explain herself, it would still seem like she was just trying to cover up what had happened. Stella got up and said, "I'll change my outfit, then."Keegan unhurriedly said beside her, "Since this is just a coincidence, why do you look guilty?"Stella's mouth twitched. "I don't feel guilty. I just didn't want you to misunderstand!""What would I misunderstand?""You'd misunderstand and think that..." 'I still like you. And, I intentionally wore an outfit that matched yours.'"Forget it. It's nothing."She turned her head to not look at him. The diamo
Keegan accepted the call. No one knew what the other person said, but Keegan frowned. He then ended the phone call. He raised his eyes and said to the driver, "Stop at Century Tower."Aurora tilted her head. "Why are you stopping the car? Keegan, what are you doing?"Stella looked at him too. But, she did not look like she had too many emotions compared to Aurora's concern.Keegan faintly said, "I have something urgent to deal with. You two will go to the party."Stella looked away.'Something urgent?'Probably related to Bella.'I suppose Bella's businesses are all something urgent to him.'Her wrist was grabbed suddenly. Just as Stella was about to struggle, Keegan put the wedding ring on her ring finger.Stella was angry when she saw the wedding ring. She could not help but sarcastically say, "This is so expensive. I shouldn't wear it. I'll save you the trouble of calling the police and suing me for stealing again when you can't find it."'This woman is so vindictive.'Ke
"The day when the multiple cars rear-end collision happened on the viaduct, Mrs. Kane was on the scene. Her Porsche was one of the wrecked cars."Keegan's pupils constricted, and he abruptly raised his eyes.Aldor handed him the document on the passenger seat."This is Mrs. Kane's medical record. She was staying in the same hospital as Ms. Young."Keegan looked tense as he opened the few papers.Her first floating rib on the right was fractured; Multiple soft tissues were bruised. Her right wrist joint had limited mobility; Her forehead bled and had bruises on it. She had headaches, nausea, and other symptoms. She was advised to be hospitalized for observation...Everything that had happened that night reappeared in front of Keegan's eyes, scene by scene. He had an abnormal sensation in his throat.'She didn't tell me that she was involved in the car accident. She didn't mention a single word about it.'Keegan closed his eyes.'Is this why she suddenly wanted to get a divorce?
