Stella was left baffled. She thought, 'Mr. Kane, can we be a little more honest?'The value of Keegan's business deals amounted to at least ten billion dollars. As a result, it came as no surprise that his business partners showered him with expensive luxury goods.One time, someone had even gifted him a pair of opal earrings, which certainly didn't come cheap. Stella was overjoyed when Keegan gave her the earrings. However, her happiness turned to sorrow when she lost them at a party. The loss affected her so deeply that she couldn't eat for several days. What made matters worse was that Keegan mocked her, considering her a disappointment.Little did he know how much those earrings meant to her simply because they were from him.Reflecting on the situation, Stella realized that to Keegan, the box she returned was just a meaningless item he had received and carelessly handed over to her. He hadn't intended it as a gift, nor did he seem to care about giving her presents.Feeling hu

Stella swallowed every word she wanted to say, finding herself unable to speak.'Right. How can I ever count on Keegan?!'"Stella?" Keegan raised his voice, puzzled by the strange silence.After a few seconds, Stella finally responded, "I have things to do today. Can we do this another time?"Keegan smirked, "Another time? Do you think I'm as free as you? You were the one who wanted a divorce, and now you've gone missing during this crucial time. What are you trying to do?"Stella's face went pale, her voice hoarse as she replied, "I really have something to do today. I can't come. Let me know when you're free, and I'll be there on time.""I have no time for your jokes!" He ended the call.Clutching her phone, Stella laughed at herself after a while.Whenever she needed Keegan the most, he was never there for her. Her hopes were crushed, and she no longer expected anything from him.Alone in the quiet waiting room, she sat there for an hour until a nurse finally informed her t

"What's wrong with you?" Vermont asked.Marshall had been smiling since he entered the ward.They had been friends for many years. And Marshall had always looked composed since he was a child. This was the first time he looked so silly that it scared Vermont.Marshall leaned back in the chair next to the table. He smiled as he said, "I met a girl on the rooftop just now.""Huh?""She took my phone and scolded me because she thought I was secretly taking photos of her."Vermont squinted and asked, "Why do I feel like you're happy about it? Are you interested in her?" He could not help but feel curious.Vermont, Keegan, and Marshall were childhood friends. Vermont's family, the Snyder family was comparatively less influential. The Moore family and the Kane family were equally strong in Rivera. Both Marshall and Keegan were trained to become the successors of their families.But, a few years back, Marshall got sick. It took him more than two years to recover. After that, it seemed

Once Stella heard that, her hopeful feelings faded again. She gently asked, "So, it was just a one-time thing?"Corbin comforted her. "It's not certain. It's a good sign that her eyes moved. But I can't jump to conclusions based on one instance. Remember, she's been in a coma for a very long time. Keep watching her, and let us know if anything changes."Stella nodded and replied, "Thanks."After Corbin left, Stella sat by her mother's bedside and carefully looked at her for a long time.Before leaving, she offered some money to Zayla, but Zayla refused to take it. Stella insisted, "Please, just accept it. I don't visit often, and you're the one taking care of her here. It would make me feel bad if you don't take it. And if anything happens to my mom in the future, please let me know right away."Zayla accepted the money and reassured her, "I'll do that. It's my job."When Stella returned to the apartment, Felicity was still awake, scrolling through her WhatsApp group while the TV

Everyone stared at Keegan. He had been coughing for a long time and seemed unhappy.No one spoke, thinking Keegan didn't like what the marketing manager had said earlier.Keegan turned to Aldor and whispered something. Then, he turned back and said coldly, "Keep talking."Everyone felt relieved. Aldor left the conference room quietly.In the lobby downstairs, Stella sat on the couch, looking bored as she flipped through a magazine.Aldor approached her. "Madam, why didn't you call me before coming?"The receptionist was shocked. 'She's really Mrs. Kane! But why did Mr. Kane say he didn't know her?! Never mind that. The real problem is I took those pictures of Mrs. Kane just now!'His face went pale. He suddenly felt like he might lose his job and not get hired by top companies anymore. He wondered, 'What kind of game were they playing?'Stella put down the magazine. "I called you. But it looks like you were very busy, and you didn't hear my phone call."Clearly, Aldor knew tha
