Keegan glanced at Vermont and said, "She's not like you."Vermont was speechless. He could not believe Keegan was siding with her just because she had given him a little treat. He finally got some peace of mind after he went to Felicity to complain about it."Do you not know how evil your wife can be?""Stop spreading nonsense. Stella has a kind soul," Keegan said.The corners of Vermont's eyes twitched, "Are you blind? How can you not see how evil she is? Did you forget that she cooked you a bowl of liver with something extra?"Keegan kept quiet. He indeed forgot about the incident but suddenly felt a little nauseous again after thinking about it.'Then again... How did Vermont know?'For a moment, Keegan looked at Aldor, who moved aside. Aldor paused and coughed, "You were sick the whole day. When Mr. Snyder asked me about it, I told him."Keegan gave him a dirty look and turned to Vermont to say, "She just did that to make me angry. She wouldn't do it without a good reason."
Keegan was the one who told Stella that mangoes could grant wishes. He did not expect her to remember and connect the mango-shaped bouquet to what he had said. 'Does this mean we're connected?'Keegan was looking at the people on the stage when suddenly, a figure blocked his sight. It was Trevor. He stood right in front of him, blocking his view of Stella. Keegan got annoyed."Mr. Kane and Mr. Snyder, are you two here to watch the premiere? I see you guys have a lot of free time on your hands," Trevor said with a half-smile.Keegan glanced at him and said, "I think we can say the same about you. I heard the company's not good doing well. How could you still have the time to wander around, Mr. Saun?"Trevor paused, and his smile widened, "The company's fine. This is the first-time one of my actors starred in a big movie. I'm here to show my support. Why are you here, Mr. Kane?""I'm here to support my girlfriend," Keegan said."Pfft—" Vermont almost laughed out loud.Trevor's eye
"What did you talk to him about?" Keegan angrily said when Vermont got into the car. "Nothing," Vermont said after a moment. "Don't you think Trevor is being a little too nice to your wife?"Those words pierced Keegan's heart. "I suspect that he planned to steal my girl since the beginning!" he said with a cold face.When Stella rescued Jaylene, Trevor came over to deliver a Bentley, and his eyes were glued to Stella. Keegan did not think much about that at the time, but thinking about it now, he realized that Trevor looked at Stella differently from the first time they met. As soon as they divorced, Trevor could not wait to sign Stella to his company. His intention was obvious. Keegan and Trevor were friends, but no good friend would do such a shameless thing.Vermont paused and said, "I don't think he has a romantic relationship with Stella.""He doesn't, but Stella has feelings for him," Keegan said sadly."What?""Stella has a crush on Trevor," Keegan scowled.Vermont was sp
Keegan looked at the way Leighton and Stella were talking, and his eyes burned with anger. He immediately took out his phone and dialed Stella's number. Seeing that it was Keegan, Stella looked at Leighton and said, "Sorry, I have to take this call." She then turned around and walked away with her phone.Vermont saw the raging fire in Keegan's eyes and thought he would be sly and sarcastic on the phone. But, to his surprise, his voice was gentle when the call connected. "Is it over? Are you tired?"Vermont was speechless. 'Imagine if she could see your face right now,' he thought."I'm alright. Just feeling a little warm. Did you leave?""No, not yet. I reserved a table at The Deli to celebrate your success.""Don't overorder. The weather is hot, and I don't have much appetite right now.""I'll ask them to make something light. You need the energy to deal with work," said Keegan."Okay," Stella replied after thinking about it.Keegan smiled and said, "I'll wait for you in the c
Stella heard this and knew he did not mind her lending it to people. Keegan would not use the results of his team's labor to coax her. He also would never use the company's achievements to impress her. However, when Stella saw Keegan wanting her to comfort him, she could not help but feel it was hilarious.She glanced at the front row. Aldor was not averting his gaze while Vermont had already taken out his phone. He had turned on his front-facing camera and was watching them boldly.Stella could see Vermont mouth out the words from the screen, "Don't spoil him."Stella retracted her gaze and turned around to ask Keegan, "What do you want as your consolation?"Keegan got close to her ears and whispered, "I want you to add two hundred points."Stella was speechless. He is as good as it gets. He would have tried to obtain more from it had he used more of his brain. Stella used her purse to put a barricade in front of them to cover Vermont's camera before saying, "Did Vermont and you
Nobody realized that Vermont tagging along was bothering Keegan. Yet, Keegan made him watch their lovers' moments.In truth, Keegan and Stella didn't exchange many words. They skipped the cheesy lines, but the vibe was something else. Even without many words, there were still circles of happy feelings, and he was almost getting lost in them.After a few drinks, Stella got up to go to the washroom. Keegan's gaze finally landed on Vermont, "Are you full now?""Stop being so smug," Vermont rolled his eyes at him, "She kissed you because she likes your face. What correlation is between that and Stella liking you as a person?"Keegan's expression did not change, "At least I have the prerequisite for her to like me. Unlike someone who only knows how to lie."Vermont was at a loss for words.'Where is my sword!' Vermont screamed in his thoughts.There were many customers today at The Deli; hence quite a few were queuing for the washroom. When Stella walked past the corridor, she saw an
Sophia wanted to use this opportunity to humiliate Stella, but Stella did not give her a chance. After she checked Sophia out, Stella asked, "Which doctor helped do your face? Do you not plan to sue them?"I know a lawyer specializing in medical cases, and I can introduce him to you. Then you can have more compensation to find a better doctor to fix it."She spoke with such "sincerity" that the woman standing next to her waiting for the stall could not help but look over. Technically, she was looking at Sophia's face.Sophia's expression immediately contorted in rage, but she had yet to absorb the injection she got fully. The muscles on her face were slightly stiff while her lips twitched like she had facial palsy. This further cemented Stella's statement on Sophia's plastic surgery.Sophia had yet to open her mouth when her best friend could not resist helping her stand up to Stella, "Sophia had greeted you out of the kindness of her heart. Don't you think the words you said are t
With just a few sentences, she cursed both people without using any cuss words.Sophia was frustrated. Stella, the bane of the socialite group photos, has become an actress who survived by selling her body on the silver screen. Yet, the arrogance in her has not subsided and even grew more outrageous.Laura said, "It seems the rumors are true. If not, why would her arrogance skyrocket?"Sophia looked at her, "What rumors?"Laura got closer and said mysteriously, "I heard that Stella had hooked up with the son of the Saun family. Soon after she divorced, someone saw her and Trevor looking for houses. She also signed with a company under the Saun family. This is not a coincidence, right?"Sophia paused, "You sure?"Laura replied, "I also heard some gossip but didn't see it with my own eyes. However... if no one was backing her, how would she have the guts to speak to you like that? She is an illegitimate child. Shouldn't she tuck her tail between her legs when she meets you, the leg
