Stella said in a low voice, "To be honest, I've only tipped them once. They were having a lucky draw in their live session, and they were going to pick ten winners to get ten thousand dollars each. So, I wanted to try my luck and topped up a few hundred dollars to enter the draw."As expected, she did not win anything at all. Online hosts like them would not just do a money-losing business like that.They decided to give away one million dollars in Hustuabourgian currency because they were confident they could get back ten million or more from their audience's willingness to gamble.Entering the draw cost just a few dollars, offering everyone a shot at winning enough cash to buy a Maserati. The host kept encouraging viewers, saying that the more times they entered, the better their chances of winning.As the draw became popular and attracted up to a million participants, winning became highly unlikely. Yet, the hosts still made a fortune in fame and money from the audience, as organi

Xenia continued in a hoarse voice, "I know. I'm not trying to get anything from you using the baby, but I just want to bid a proper farewell to it. Even though I got very scared when I first found out about my baby, its existence made me somewhat greedy... for someone who doesn't belong to me."She started sobbing as she spoke. "Mr. Jewell, I don't want anything from you. I can have an abortion like you wanted, but can we not do it today? The doctor just let me listen to my baby's heartbeat, and my baby is probably conscious now. I want to have a proper conversation with my baby and tell the baby that I'm not giving up on it because I don't love it.Albert saw Xenia crying, and his heart immediately softened.She looked so much like Rainee when she was crying. Besides, he even started to feel like their voice sounded very similar too even though it might just be an illusion.When she cried and said those words, he could almost see Rainee in her twenties standing in front of him wit

Albert said in a gentle voice, "Even though you and Stella are divorced, to me, we're still family. Besides, I'm just used to calling you that after so many years."Keegan raised his eyebrows and said, "Well, I'm afraid that you have to start getting used to addressing me in a different way now. You're not Stella's father. Technically, I'm not related to you in any way. If you don't stop calling me that, I'll have to do a lot of explaining to others. So, please stop doing that."Albert felt really awkward but managed to keep his composure.Hearing Keegan say Stella's name so kindly made Albert see that Keegan still cared for her, despite past lies. This reassured Albert about his choice to adopt Stella and be her foster dad, especially since the Kane family had been so good to him over the years; he couldn't give that up.Albert quickly regained his composure. "I might not be Stella's real dad, but I've looked after her since she was little. I've talked to her about adopting her, and

"We talked about something else too, but I mainly want to find out if he knows anything about his uncle. But, he doesn't seem to know much."Keegan dismissed the idea with a scoff. "That would be surprising. His parents aren't close to Irene, and they barely communicate. "The Moore family isn't fond of Irene's husband at all. "They didn't even let them have a wedding ceremony after getting their marriage certificate, and Marshall has met him just a few times."Stella was taken aback. "But Marshall's mom seemed so close to Irene at the jewelry exhibition back then. How can you be so certain?"Keegan replied calmly, "They were just pretending for the sake of appearances." He paused briefly before adding, "Marshall had a younger brother who was two years his junior, but he tragically died after choking on a small toy."Marshall's parents were out shopping at that time because Frederick was very happy that Irene had come back from studying abroad. He prepared a grand welcoming party

Keegan's eyelid twitched, and he repeated what she said. "You have men's clothes at your place?"Stella replied, "I did a photoshoot for a local clothing brand previously. They had a design that looked really good, so I took two sets of it for you. The fabric is very soft, but it's not something very expensive. Just forget it if you're not interested."Keegan paused. "Why are you speaking as if you've bought me any expensive clothes before?"Stella was speechless.Then, she gritted her teeth and said, "What makes you say that? The socks that I bought you cost a few hundred dollars for a pair, and the ones I'm wearing are just a few dollars!""Except for socks," Keegan said."What about boxers? They cost several hundred, and some are even more than a thousand!"Keegan was speechless."Except for boxers."Stella opened her mouth and argued back, "I didn't buy you expensive clothes not because I'm not willing to spend that money on you, but because they're just not worth the pric
