Chapter 171

At any rate, the housemaid had worked for the Kane family for many years. Hence, the words Keegan spoke were quite insensitive. Stella originally wanted to tell him to forget about it since she had taken the slap already. There was no meaning in pursuing this further.Before she could speak, she heard the housemaid stutter out, "It was... It was the missus... The missus threw away the item and did not let me...""Who are you talking to?" Before the housemaid could finish, Dahlia's voice came from the phone. Then, Dahlia took the phone."It's Mr. Kane. He's asking about the white truffles incident..."There was no sound on the other side. After a few seconds, Dahlia took over the phone. "It's just two boxes of white truffles. Do you need to call back home to interrogate people?"Keegan pursed his lips. "I just want to figure out this thing."Dahlia was infuriated. "What will you do after you figure it out? Call the cops to arrest us? She doesn't have any other talent, but her tale

Chapter 172

Unable to persuade further, Keegan refrained from speaking more.Keegan could smell alcohol as Stella approached. Surprised, he asked, "Did you drink?""No," said Stella, her face flushing red with alcohol. After denying it, she realized that the smell of beer couldn't be hidden, and lying would only worsen it. She corrected herself, "Not a lot. Just a little."It was indeed just as little as half a bottle of red wine. With Stella's alcohol tolerance, half a bottle is not enough to make her drunk.Keegan stared at her for a few seconds, threw a towel at her, and said indifferently, "Wash yourself."This was the first in Stella's life that she had to bathe someone.Though they did mess around in the shower before, it was when she was trying to flirt with him by using the excuse of rubbing his back.Not even able to finish rubbing his back, she ended up giving up. In the end, he had to wash her up and carry her back home.In the past, Keegan rarely refused her advances. No matter

A familiar voice came from the other end of the line when the call patched through.To his surprise, it was Marshall.Keegan clenched his jaw and pursed his lips, not saying anything.Having received no reply from that end, Marshall hesitated for a while before he called out, "Keegan?"Keegan then gave a short "Yes" as a reply.Marshall said, "Why can't your phone be reached?""No battery left." Keegan paused. "Are you looking for Stella?"Marshall smiled. "I'm looking for you. I could not reach your phone, so I tried calling Stella instead."'Stella...'Keegan pondered over the name as he pressed his lips."Is there anything you need?"Marshall's cleared his voice. "I've been busy these few days. When Aurora brought up the topic of your injury when I chatted with her this morning, I went to Vermont for further details. How are you feeling? Are you better now?"Keegan pinched his eyebrows and said, "I'm fine.""Vermont said the person had been caught. Do you need my help?"

Chapter 174

Stella was still thinking about how to peacefully gloss over what transpired last night with Keegan. 'Yesterday was an accident. It can't be helped since even adults can sometimes be rash.'He didn't even ask in the end. It even feels like he can't be bothered by it.'Her mood immediately turned a little sour.'I'd better not throw a tantrum. Blowing up here would make it seem like I'm self-conscious about last night.'Seeing it from another angle, let's treat it as getting a free night service since Keegan seemed willing to serve me.'Following this train of thought, her heart felt a little at ease."I wrote it half-heartedly," said Stella, naturally not telling Keegan. Fifty million was the lawyer fees she wished Marshall charged her over the divorce case.Obviously, she would not bring Marshall on board to fight her case since he was Keegan's friend, not expecting him to side with her even if he was onboarded.That half-hearted contact name was not a lie at all.Keegan did

Chapter 175

"What news?" Stella pressed the corner of her eyes from the strain of reading the script on her phone."All of Zeckary's work had been taken off the shelves. I assumed she was suspended.""Who is it?""It was the original actress that was supposed to roleplay this role. She's a pretty famous female artist with many awards under her belt."Since Stella signed the contract, Felicity joined the backstage crew's WhatsApp group. That was how she came across news like Zeckary being signed up for the role before Stella did."Why was she suspended?""Rumor has it that her stand was questionable regarding a sensitive topic she published. She had eluded to being exposed a few times in the past since those were groundless accusations with no evidence. She was ruined this time because someone dug out her published remark from ten years ago. I'm guessing Daniel knew this right from the start. That's why she was dropped."'No wonder...'Such an important role should not be empty, yet they we

But Stella obviously was cuter than Albert. Thinking about the fact that Stella helped earn more than 30 million dollars, Vermont immediately felt that she was still quite pleasing to the eye.He was even gifted a box of oysters."Albert not only wants to invest in the Northon project, but also in Semiconductor Technology. Where's he going to get so much money?"The Jewell family's trump card could not be more apparent to them than it currently was.The Jewell family can only be considered a third-rate enterprise in Rivera before Stella married Keegan. The fact that they were even a third-rate enterprise was thanks to the wife's guidance.When his wife was met with an accident, he hastily took control of the company and chased away a lot of key staff. It was a pity that his ambition did not match his capabilities, causing the company to meet its current plight within two years.As the turnover rate increased and more orders were delayed, he began to plot against his soon-to-be gr

Chapter 177

Vermont started to have a terrible impression of her ever since that.The Kane family could definitely afford that, but it was very spiteful of her to do that without telling her husband about it.However, Keegan told him to keep his mouth shut. Otherwise, Cordelia would never have a good impression of Stella just because of that.However, Stella had surprised Vermont too much in the recent month. He could not help but wonder if he was just prejudiced against her.'Why would Stella set Albert up if she's really on his side?'She should do whatever she can to be with Keegan if she's the type who puts money before everything else. Why would she file a divorce?' Vermont thought to himself.Besides, Stella was Dusk Galaxy.The person he idolized for so long turned out to be the person he used to hate. Perhaps he loved Dusk Galaxy so much that he could not bring himself to her anymore.Vermont glanced at Keegan and asked, "You didn't allow Albert to invest because of Stella, right?"

Chapter 178

Stella was speechless.On the other side of the screen, Vermont tried very hard to hold his laughter back.Keegan was just mean.Fortunately, Stella was shameless enough to not show her anger out loud. She felt a lot better after reminding herself of her intention of coming here."I was too inconsiderate. I only realized that I should take care of you since you were hurt because of me. I read a few jokes recently, and they're hilarious. Do you want to hear them?"Keegan was uncomfortable by Stella's sudden change of attitude. From what he knew about her, she would never speak like this.Normally, Stella would not hesitate to talk back at him if he were to speak to her like that.'What's she up to?'Keegan went silent for a few seconds before he said, "Sure."He took a sip of milk as he said this.Stella thought for a moment. Then, she said, "One day, Mama Fly brought Baby Fly to a pile of poop for lunch."Then, Baby Fly asked Mama Fly, 'Mama, mama, why are you eating poop?'

"I... don't think I'm going. Keegan hasn't recovered yet, and I have to stay here to take care of him."Stella spoke in a hesitant manner. Clearly, she was still very tempted to go.Vermont responded, "He's not a kid that needs you to hug and tuck him in. Just leave him at home. I'll bring you there."Keegan's eye twitched. Suddenly, he felt like stuffing something into Vermont's mouth to shut him up."Oh... Maybe... I should go then?"She asked Keegan tentatively.Keegan gazed at her. "Do whatever you want. Why are you looking at me?""Oh." And so, Stella began to ask more questions about the exhibition. "What time does it start?""Probably seven to eight at night. We'll only be able to witness the beauty of the Luminous Pearl when it's dark. Just get ready by then, and I'll come to pick you up."Vermont went offline after saying that.The study room suddenly went quiet. Stella had yet to get what she came here for, so she did not leave.Keegan was starting to find her pres

Chapter 180

Stella kept looking at Keegan's reaction after saying that.However, he did not have much of a reaction, and the look on his face did not change either. "Oh." That was all he said before he asked, "Why?"'Could it be true that Keegan really doesn't know about it?'Stella wondered to herself as she continued, "Somebody found out about something she said on the internet once, and most people disagreed with her. So, she got canceled, and all her shows were dropped."Keegan kept quiet.Stella spoke again, "I'm sure she crossed somebody or offended people that she shouldn't have. Otherwise, why would people purposely dig out something she said more than ten years ago?"Keegan responded frankly, "She wouldn't end up like this if what she said wasn't problematic.""I heard she got a role in a new show, but somebody else wanted it too. That was how everything started. She got canceled by everyone because of just that. Don't you think the people who did this are too evil?""Business is
