Keegan began looking into the people who introduced gambling to his college classmate. Each of them got arrested two months after the funeral. However, it did not bring his college classmate back from death. The maximum sentence for gambling was only two to three years at most. The main culprit was the one who owned the casino.At the start of the year, Keegan had found the locations and entry requirements for Yoven's two underground casinos. Despite this, he hesitated to act due to the many personnel involved, aware that any action would make enemies. If not for the incident with Stella, Keegan would have waited for a better chance to apprehend Yoven, but circumstances pushed him to act sooner.Shortly after Aldor had left the office, Keegan received a text from Xenia. [I've retrieved all the photos that are in Albert's hands. He doesn't have a backup, and I've deleted everything on his phone.][Thank you,] Keegan replied.[Your lover asked me to fake a pregnancy to scare Hylda. S
Albert scowled. "Then, what's with the pregnancy test I found in the bathroom?"Xenia clenched her mouth shut and did not say a word."Hey, I asked you a question. What's going on?" Albert frowned.Xenia's eyes turned red as she said hoarsely, "I don't know. I've been a little nauseous these days, and my colleague asked me if I was pregnant. So, I got scared and bought a pregnancy test..."I didn't expect that it would turn out like this..." Xenia choked up as she spoke. Her face was covered in tears. "Mr. Jewell, I'm scared..."Albert looked into her blurry eyes, and his heart was beating vigorously. 'She looks so similar to Rainee when she's crying. It's like I'm in school again.' Albert's heart melted in an instant. 'We wouldn't have to come to this point if only Rainee had relied on me more and obeyed my every word like this girl in front of me.'Out of all my lovers, I've always loved her the most. Why did she have to betray me?'Albert hugged Xenia in his arms tightly, pat
It only took three hours for the world to cancel Yolanda Fenley. It was so fast that Stella thought it was magic. Soon, news of Yolanda's tax fraud popped up on every social media platform for the whole day.Yolanda finally got to experience being famous but for the wrong reasons. After the collapse of Yolanda Fenley, more and more of her dirt got exposed. For example, it was revealed that Yolanda deliberately bullied the newcomers in her film crew. Another instance was when she interfered with someone's marriage and became a homewrecker.There were even leaked photos of Yolanda getting in bed with other male celebrities. She also got exposed for her long-term use of illegal drugs. However, there was no official notice regarding the banned narcotics, so it was unclear whether it was true. On the other hand, the leaked photos were going around the internet like crazy. They were so erotic that they almost looked like pornography.The people behind Motives for Murder followed suit and
"I'll pay you a visit on the set then."Stella's eyelid twitched. "It's fine. You're going to affect my work."Keegan smiled and said. "Don't worry. I won't stand by the bed this time.""Just wait for me outside. I'll tell the director to shoot my scene first."Keegan agreed.Stella got changed and came outside after she was done with her part. Then, she saw a Maserati stopping right in front of Keegan's Mercedes, and both cars' windows were rolled down. Trevor had a pair of sunglasses and was resting his elbow on the door when he looked at Keegan with a smirk. "Mr. Kane, don't you need to work? Why are you coming to the set so often? Are you a guest actor now?"Keegan glared at him. "Well, I should at least check on the progress of the movie I invested in as the boss, right?"Trevor frowned. "When did you invest in a movie? I didn't know at all."Keegan said without holding back. "Did you pocket the two hundred million I invested in your company? Did you forget that I own El
Stella's head hurt when she saw how Keegan and Trevor insulted each other.For some reason, she felt like Trevor was more bothered about her not getting any money after the divorce than her. She figured that he had crossed his boundary as just her boss.In fact, she felt like Trevor had been paying extra attention to her ever since she started working for him. He also visited her very often to send her food and clothes in the company's name, so she could not reject them.However, Stella noticed that even though the other artists he recruited would also receive benefits from the company, the benefits would never be as generous as what she got, let alone having the boss himself doing everything personally.The way that Trevor treated her exceeded the line of how a boss should treat his employees. Normally, it would mean the boss intended to take advantage of his employee.However, Trevor never wanted anything from her.He would always take her to different restaurants to enjoy deli
To be honest, how well Trevor treated her was kind of scary to her.Marshall treated her very well too, but he would never reject her when she repaid the favor by giving him gifts or money.There was a difference between Marshall and Trevor. Marshall was more like a friend at work who would do her a favor without troubling himself, but Trevor was a person who would give her everything for free without wanting anything in return. Stella just could not accept it.That was when Stella could relate to the saying; free things are often the most expensive.She was afraid to accept Trevor's kindness because she knew she could never repay it. She bowed at Trevor. "I'm sorry, Mr. Saun."Trevor was speechless.'We just got closer, and everything just went back to the start. Why is she calling me Mr. Saun? I don't want to be just Mr. Saun to her!'Trevor hid how upset he was and put on a smile. "It's fine. There's nothing to be sorry about. Go on. I'll rearrange the appointment to another
Stella's hand that was holding her phone paused as she immediately noticed Keegan's jealousy.'Does this dumb man really think I have a crush on Trevor?'Stella rolled her eyes and suddenly started acting.She sighed and said, "I'd be lying if I said I have absolutely no feelings for him. He was once my crush, after all."Keegan kept quiet.Then, he said in a deep voice, "Why did you reject him and come with me then?""Because..." Stella drawled before whispering into Keegan's ear, "Because someone looked so sad and disappointed, as if he would start crying if I didn't come with him. I couldn't bear to see that."Keegan paused and was delighted. He wrapped his arm around Stella's waist and held her chin with another. Then, he gritted his teeth and said, "Who's going to cry?"Stella chuckled and pinched his ear. "Were you worried that I'd go with him?"Keegan turned her head and kissed the back of her hand. "I'll understand if you go with him because of work." He paused before
Stella was very tempted but rejected Keegan's offer anyway. "You bought me plenty of new clothes previously, didn't you? I hardly wore any of them. I shouldn't be buying any new ones now."Keegan looked at her. "I was talking about myself."Stella was speechless.Keegan smiled and walked into the fashion store after saying that. She gritted her teeth and followed behind him.'How could he do this during his probation period? I'm going to deduct his marks!'Stella forgot about deducting Keegan's mark completely as soon as she entered the store.The latest collection had just arrived, and the store was filled with various clothes designs. Stella liked everything she touched, but she put them back after seeing their price tags.Keegan rarely went shopping with her because he was always busy. Stella could really take her time in a store.Stella could make a decision immediately when it came to a huge amount of money but would become very hesitant while dealing with little money.S
