Wenham frowned, "Where are you taking my sweet grandchild?""This Shiny Egg is a gift from Keegan to Stella, and she lent it to me for a few days. For the past two days, she's already been asking me when I'm going to return it to her. While this piece of scrap metal Keegan had created is ugly-looking, it's a pretty good doorman. As long as it's around, you don't have to worry about your daughter getting harmed."Trevor paused, then lowered his voice and continued, "Besides, if you return it, you could use visiting Shiny Egg as an excuse to contact Stella. You could use this opportunity to see and get to know her better."When Wenham heard this, his eyes instantly lit up."You should tell Stella about this soon. We didn't know about this in the past, but now that we know, we shouldn't let her suffer anymore. We must reunite with her soon. One more thing, take me to pay my respects to Madam Spade after this. Also, pay more attention to the matters related to the Spade family and help
"Keegan thought he had great potential, so he took him to a negotiation session for a huge project shortly after being hired. They succeeded in getting the project signed. Then, Keegan asked him what the huge project he had participated in was. Guess what the fresh graduate said.""What?" Felicity asked with a curious expression. She was also surprised a student could participate in such a huge project.Stella said, "The over 10-billion-dollar project was a campaign by PayPal, while the commercial investment worth tens of billions was the campaign held by Temu."Felicity was speechless. She was in disbelief, "Then, did Keegan sack him?""Of course not," Stella chuckled. "I think not only did he not get fired, but he even got promoted after that.""Wasn't Keegan angry he got lied to?""I asked Keegan, and he said that a resume is only a reference for employers, and employers mainly examine the actual capabilities of employees. The fresh graduate performed really well during the ne
Olivia answered, "I'm not sure about that either. The two left after sending you to a hotel. When my people arrived, you had already been drugged."Olivia's family was in the hotel industry in the past, so she had seen all kinds of messy things.'The two drugged Stella but didn't do anything to her. There's a high chance they're giving her to someone in exchange for some kind of advantage. Usually, these kinds of people have a high social status. Firstly, I don't want to be involved in other people's business. Besides that, I also don't want to wade into these waters and offend someone. These are the reasons I didn't bring up my speculation,' she thought.She continued, "I should have recorded their license plate number in my dash cam. If you need it, I could copy it for you."Olivia's submissive attitude was really evident. Stella snapped out of her daze and pursed her lips."I don't understand. Why'd you choose to join hands with me? You've got so much evidence of your husband's
"It's me," a warm, gentle voice sounded.Stella was taken aback. "Mr. Moore?" she asked.Marshall was carrying a bouquet and smiling softly. "I'm not disturbing you by coming uninvited, am I?""Of course not," Stella hurriedly got up and tidied up the clutter on the couch. "Have a seat. I'll go boil some water."Felicity was impressed with Marshall. "I'll go boil the water. You stay here and chat with Mr. Moore," she hurriedly uttered.Marshall handed Stella the flowers and said, "No need to be polite. There was something I wanted to tell you after we parted ways last night, but I couldn't get through to you on the phone. That got me worried, and I happened to be in the neighborhood today, so I decided to stop by."Stella took the bouquet and teased, "And, you just happened to buy me flowers?"Marshall smiled and said, "Well, this is my first time here. I didn't want to come empty-handed. And, I saw a florist on my way here, so... I remembered that you planted flowers in your pr
"I didn't know that Keegan got you flowers, nor did he ask for my help," Marshall said as he looked at the flowers. "Maybe we have similar tastes. This bouquet looks quite similar to the one I sent you on the first day you were filming."Stella paused. "You sent me flowers?"Marshall nodded."Did you send them to the set?" Stella frowned and asked."No. I was afraid you wouldn't get them in time, so I sent them to your house. There was a card inside. Didn't you receive them?" Marshall tentatively asked.Stella remained silent, and she carefully recalled what happened on Valentine's Day. She and Keegan had just come back from 10th Street, and he insisted on going to her place for drinks. Stella went into her room to change, and Keegan came into the apartment with a bouquet of flowers, saying that it was for her. She praised Keegan for having a good eye, but he frowned. 'Why would someone like him, who gets high on praise, be unhappy when I complimented him? Is it because he wasn't
"No, I'm fine." Marshall forced a smile and put down the roses. He pressed his fingers against his temples and said, "Maybe it's a side effect of my new medication. Sometimes, I'd feel a little dizzy."Stella was about to speak when she saw blood on Marshall's temples. She was startled. "Why is there blood on your face?" She asked."Huh?" Marshall was stunned for a moment. He reached out to touch his face, but Stella tugged on his sleeve and said, "Your hand is bleeding."Marshall looked down and saw that the palm of his right hand was stained red. The several small cuts on it were oozing out with blood. There were also blood stains on the roses he had put down on the side. It was clear that he had pricked himself on the rose thorns."One, two, three..." Stella squatted next to him, cleaning his wound. While doing so, she counted the puncture wounds on his hand and finally said in shock, "Six! There are six cuts, and you didn't feel any of them?!"Marshall shook his head. "I'm nat
"Yeah, I do." Stella frowned. "He's my second uncle—Albert's younger brother. Do they still live there?"Marshall caught Stella's choice of words. "What do you mean? Have they lived there before?"Stella nodded. "In the earlier years, my cousins came here for school, but they had no place to stay. So, my mom gave them the keys to our old residence. The house needed to be cared for, and they needed a place to stay. So, mom decided to let them stay there since we were family.""I was in eighth grade at that time. So, it's been almost 11 or 12 years since then. My uncle has gained some wealth in the past few years. They bought a house here in the city a few years ago. I even went to their housewarming party, so I thought they moved out of that residence.""Not only did they stay there, but they also turned the house's backyard into a kindergarten," Marshall said in a deep voice.Stella was stunned. "Huh? But, the backyard was just a piece of wasteland."She thought to herself, 'Gran
Felicity's eyelids twitched when she heard what Marshall said. 'I-Is this a fucking confession?!! I knew the handsome Bentley guy had a thing for Stella! Who would take on such a small dispute over a high-paying case?'Stella is such a dumb dumb for saying that I'm overthinking it. She's just blinded by her love for Keegan. What's so good about that guy anyway? Apart from his good looks, he's sharp-tongued and scheming.'The fact that he called the police and had me arrested? Ugh. Makes me think that he'd probably send Stella to prison someday in a fit of anger if he suddenly stops liking her.'Plus, he looks like a playboy, unlike Mr. Moore. Mr. Moore looks gentle, and he's soft-spoken and polite. He also knows the law and is a great lawyer. He even gets worried about whether Stella arrives home safely during the night. He's such a good partner; way better than that hypercritical jerk, Keegan!'Felicity waited expectantly for Stella's answer. 'Did she not get the hint?!' she thoug
