If Felicity did not observe Stella's face, her soft tone alone was convincing enough that she was moved by Albert's words.Albert stuttered when he heard 'publicly announce'."H-How do you plan to announce it?""At least go through proper adoption application procedures, publish it on the media, and set a will. With all that, I'd at least get a share of the inheritance when you pass away."Albert's face was a little stiff. He only wanted to use Stella to create connections, not to give her rights to her inheritance."Stella, isn't it too early for us to discuss this? It's not very appropriate if I were to write my will when I'm still quite healthy. Besides, aren't you making it difficult for me since adults can't go through the adoption application? Don't worry, even without these two, I will still treat you as my own biological daughter. In the public's eyes, you'd be the daughter of the Jewell family, my daughter. It doesn't matter if you remarry Keegan or other families. The Je
'With the Vinci Rivera Group backing him, Albert became well-off after using my marriage with the Kane family to boost sales. His sales were likely to dip after my divorce from Keegan since he didn't focus on product development or expanding his loyal customer base.'Even so, the Jewell Group should be able to weather a crisis with their years of experience and accumulated wealth.'There's definitely something more to Albert's scheme that led him to such a crooked idea.' Unable to figure out the reason, Stella stopped dwelling on it.She wondered if she could regain her mother's villa with the recording. Eager to reach out to Marshall, she hesitated while recording a message and deleted it promptly.Consulting Marshall would be the easiest, but she knew it would spark Keegan's jealousy, creating another issue to argue over. So, she raised her eyes and asked, "Felicity, can your lawyer friend handle inheritance disputes?"Felicity replied, "Should be. He will take anything. Why don
The worker had no choice but to comply with Trevor's request, even though it was beyond his capabilities. He opened the toolbox and rummaged through the miniature dismantling tools. Luna's mechanical eyes scanned through the pile of tools. It then said suddenly, "Mister, you can only dismantle me by sending me back to the factory. It would be dangerous for anyone besides my authenticated owner to disassemble me."The worker nearly dropped the tool in his hand. "Mr. Saun. Maybe we should stop."The robot was super smart, even able to predict human behavior. The worker hesitated, worried he might struggle to put it back together once he took it apart.Trevor, casually sipping his tea, said, "Just go for it. If it gets too noisy, shut it down."The worker, after a moment of thought, powered Luna down. As he began disassembling it and reached the motherboard, Luna, supposed to be off, suddenly grabbed his wrist.Trevor, wide-eyed, watched as the Shiny Egg's limbs stretched, transfor
"We've never encountered this in our experimental stage. What did you do?" Keegan asked.Trevor was naturally not going to say that he wanted to dismantle Luna. So, he stubbornly said, "How could I even do anything to a robot? There's a bug in your development." He then continued, "Quit talking nonsense, and tell me how to stop it!"Keegan sneered at Trevor in his heart and thought, 'What a stubborn guy.' Keegan then replied seriously, "Wait for a while. I'll go ask.""Hurry up!" After hanging up the phone call, Trevor lay on the floor, as Luna had pinned both of his hands behind his back. Robots were nothing like humans. They had no idea how to control their strength, so Trevor felt as though his arms were about to be dislocated. His arms were in pain and numb at the same time."Trevor, did Keegan build this robot?" Jaylene sat on the stair far away from them and asked out of curiosity. Trevor retorted, "Besides him, who would have created such a useless thing!""Whoa, he's quite
Keegan lied to Trevor. He knew the way to solve the problem. Luna's energy consumption was high when it activated its defense mode passively. Therefore, the time set for the defense state was very short, which was only two hours. These two hours were enough to embarrass Trevor to death. For example, his father's first reaction after getting home was not to save him from despair but to take pictures and post them on social media.As soon as Leighton saw the picture on social media, he instantly made it into a sticker that said, "Me and my life" and sent it to the family chat of the Hall family. It then turned into a year-long joke.Keegan finished the evening meeting and instructed some work to Aldor. When Keegan finished, Aldor said, "Keegan, it's Valentine's Day today. Aren't you going to go celebrate it with Stella?"Keegan was stunned and furrowed his brows. "Why did you only now remind me?" He had forgotten about the holiday and had not prepared a gift.Keegan was speechless. H
Vermont's eyelids twitched. "Huh? What did you say? The signal's bad here. I can't hear you."Keegan said, "You can drive the Bugatti."Vermont could suddenly hear as if his signal instantly cleared up. "Alright."Vermont arrived at Room 901, looking handsome as ever, when Stella and Felicity had packed up and were ready to go. Felicity's expression darkened the moment she saw Vermont and closed the door. However, Vermont used his feet to prop the door open. "Come on, I knew you were pranking me, and I fell for it. Are you still angry?"Felicity sneered, "You deserved it! We're even now. Stop knocking on my door for no reason."As she spoke, she was about to close the door, but Vermont pulled out a car key and said, "I'll make it up to you and take you on a ride in a Bugatti."Felicity's attention was quickly drawn to the car key. To be honest, she was tempted. "You're not using a fake car key to trick me, right?"Vermont thought that Felicity had absolutely no trust in him ever
'Jaylene called Keegan...' Stella looked down and slowly put on her seat belts. She pretended to be playing with her phone but was actually listening to their conversation. Keegan frowned and asked, "Who are you?"Stella was shocked and confused. Even she knew who the caller was from the sound of her voice. However, Keegan did not seem like he was pretending. Maybe he really did not know who it was. The person on the other side of the phone was silent for a few seconds before she said, "Keegan. I'm Jaylene. I added your WhatsApp before and messaged you, but you didn't reply. That's why I took the liberty of calling you. Am I disturbing you? "Keegan knew who she was after she mentioned her name. The reason why he did not reply to her message was that he muted her chat after transferring money to her for buying the Red Agate Bracelet. Therefore, Jaylene's message was naturally left unnoticed by him. Keegan turned the car around and asked, "What can I help you with?"Jaylene replied,
Stella never expected that Keegan would pass the buck to Jackson. After Keegan hung up the phone, Stella said, "Isn't it a little dangerous for you to ask Jackson to take Jaylene out?"Keegan understood what Stella meant. He said, "Don't worry. Jackson doesn't have the guts to mess around."Obviously, Chandler's family wanted to have a connection with the Saun family through marriage. So, Jackson was eager to make a good impression on Jaylene and would never dare to overstep the mark."Aren't you scared that they will really get into a relationship and kick you out of the Vinci Rivera Group together?"Although Stella understood nothing about business, she knew how bad it would be for Keegan if Jackson had a connection with the Saun family through marriage.'This idiot actually created opportunities for others.'Keegan looked at her resignedly and replied, "If the connection through marriage is useful, my dad would have been kicked out by Uncle Chandler long ago."'Cyrene's famil
