On the 20th of May, Stella Jewell posted a new update of her status on social media: Single, Free to Mingle. PS: Priorities for physically healthy individuals. The accompanying image was a divorce certificate. This surge of actions from Stella was just like she was in the past when she had married into the Kane family without warning. This news caused carnage within her circle of friends. Right after her breakup, she implied that her ex-husband, Keegan Kane, was sterile. Did she have a death wish for doing so? Who is Keegan Kane? A ruthless person that could sue the media company, that had made rumors, until they were bankrupt. Would he tolerate his ex-wife, who left the marriage with nothing, to connote him in such a way? In the end, after twenty minutes, everyone had their jaws dropped again. Under Stella's new account, the newly registered account commented, "Let me out of the blacklist!"
View MoreGalaxy Bay Villa.Kanrara couldn't help but laugh at Jaylene's arrival, "Ms. Saun, let's be reasonable here. If someone owes you money, you should go after them. Why come to me? I haven't laid eyes on your money."Through clenched teeth, Jaylene retorted, "Dahlia took the money from me and used it to cover your husband's gambling debts. If I don't come to you, then who should I go to?""Then go find him. Why should I be responsible for his gambling losses?" Kanrara placed her cup down, "Besides, we signed an agreement ages ago. In case of divorce, his gambling debts are his burden. We're already in the process of divorcing, so his affairs are none of my concern."With a firm tone, she ushered Jaylene to leave, "Ms. Saun, it's getting late, and my children have school tomorrow. I won't keep you for tea."Unwilling to accept defeat, Jaylene spoke sharply, "None of your concern? Then why does your account still have the eight million Blake transferred? The divorce must be a sham. It
"Why did you come to Caline to confront Stella instead of going to the Vinci Rivera Group to find him?" Jaylene asked.Dahlia couldn't respond.Naturally, she dared not stir up trouble at the Vinci Rivera Group. Threats of suing Keegan were ultimately just a ploy to extract money. She didn't want to sever ties with the Kane family unless absolutely necessary. After all, who would support her in her old age? So she sought out Stella. Stella, pregnant and residing in Royalpark Villa, signaled that remarriage with Keegan was imminent, whether his memory had been recovered or not. As a married couple, she couldn't afford to disregard Keegan's reputation. But Dahlia hadn't anticipated that after getting so little money, Stella would simply ignore her!"Does Keegan also know that you need the money to settle your brother's gambling debts?" Jaylene ground her teeth. "Aunt Dahlia, have you ever been honest with me?"Dahlia contemplated arguing, but Jaylene's icy stare silenced her. "I do
Exiting the pantry, Stella hadn't gone far when she abruptly halted. Jaylene stood silently at the corridor's bend, observing her."Stella, there are some things I shouldn't say, but I can't hold back. Are you really encouraging someone to cut ties with their own mother?"Stella replied casually, "If you know it's best not to say something, then just keep quiet! What do you really know? Who are you to judge me? Just because you chipped in some money for Dahlia's debt?"Jaylene's expression hardened. "So you were aware Aunt Dahlia waited for you all day yesterday, and you intentionally avoided her." Stella nodded. "Yes, but I didn't anticipate you'd be so generous as to lend her money." Jaylene shot her a disdainful look. "I'm not as cold-hearted as you, ignoring people in need! You claim to love Keegan, yet you treat his mother so cruelly. Is that what you call love?"Stella chuckled, "I'm certainly not as noble as you. I care for Keegan, but not to the point of losing my san
Kiara sighed, "You know, the Perfume Blending Department isn't as friendly as it appears on the surface."Kiara went on to explain that a significant portion of the Perfume Blending Department employees' income came from bonuses, in addition to their base salary and skill-based pay. Ideally, bonuses should reflect the amount of work done by each team every month. However, in reality, there was a disparity in the capabilities of each team. Some teams were highly efficient and completed a lot of work, yet their bonuses were almost the same as those of other teams' members.Darcie, being so astute, wouldn't be unaware of the drawbacks of this equal distribution. The root cause was that there were several relatives of high-level executives on the board of directors in the Perfume Blending Department. These individuals were mostly just figureheads, as the Perfume Blending Department had the highest salaries in the company, so they were placed there.While some were receiving salaries wit
Stella glanced over at her, gave a slight nod, and went back to eating with her head down.As Jaylene fetched utensils, she engaged Sonia in conversation, "Sonia, our team leader mentioned she assigned you some tasks yesterday, but you didn’t complete them. What happened?"Sonia responded, "I finished the tasks she assigned to me. That particular one wasn't on my list."Jaylene sighed, "Sonia, I understand you're new here and might not enjoy these mundane tasks. But you were exempted from the regular process to join, which was already a special treatment. With everyone watching, certain tasks still need to be completed. If you find them too challenging, I can ask your team leader to assign simpler ones. However, leaving tasks undone without informing anyone isn't acceptable. How can your team leader manage others if this happens?"Sonia pursed her lips and reiterated, "She didn't assign me to handle that form. I completed the tasks she gave me."Jaylene frowned, lightly tapping he
Keegan raised his hand and gestured behind his shoulder. "Been focusing on my back, but it isn’t as defined as it is on the abdomen."Stella's eyes lit up. "Let me take a look."Keegan nodded, his gaze lowered, as he removed the bathrobe from his shoulders, preparing to turn around and reveal the results of his workouts to his wife, when suddenly the study door was twisted open from outside.Stella's reflexes acted quicker than her thoughts. She immediately grabbed Keegan, using her body to shield his body.The door cracked open, and a little head peeked in. Coco, with two pigtails, blinked innocently, "Uncle Keegan, Aunt Stella, Grandma Whitney wants me to ask if you want to eat fish dumplings."Stella, still facing away from the door, couldn't let go. She patted Keegan's back, prompting him to respond.Keegan replied, "We'll share one portion."Coco nodded, glanced at Keegan, and whispered, "Uncle Keegan, are you courting someone?"Keegan paused. "What did you say?"Coco mys
The music played with ambiguity in her ears, while before her eyes lay anatomical charts of human muscles commonly found in dissecting rooms and hospitals.Stella stared at these charts, almost envisioning the edge-dancing male streamers morphing into the red muscle lines depicted in the anatomy chart, each one captivating as they twisted their waists and hips.Her head spun as she pointed to the projection screen and asked Keegan, "What's this?"Keegan patiently explained, "It's a muscle distribution chart. Everyone's body develops the same way under the skin. By looking beyond appearances, you see the essence. Once you see the essence, appearances become insignificant to you."Seeing beyond appearances???Stella's face shifted from that of embarrassment to frustration, cycling through several changes before she abruptly stood up, her face tense, and headed outside.Keegan caught up to her. "Where are you going?"Stella replied, "To find my brother."Keegan was confused."My
"Do you really have to watch those videos?" Keegan asked. "I don't have to, but it makes me happier," Stella responded.Keegan remained silent for a moment before replying, "Okay, just wait a moment."He stood up and left the room.Stella was delighted. She knew Keegan well enough to know that he would never allow her to watch someone else; he would take care of it himself.Keegan was a guy with many tricks up his sleeve.When he was pursuing her, he stuck to her like glue when they moved to Clouditude International. He wore tank tops with plunging necklines and underwear as tight as possible. After work, he even went to the gym, displaying all his charms, afraid of not being able to seduce her.But once she became pregnant, he immediately switched all his sleepwear to long sleeves and pants, dressing as modestly as possible, with everything tightly wrapped up. The buttons on his sleepwear were buttoned up to the topmost one.Several times she wanted to ask him, "Is it cold at
During that month of injury, Keegan realized this, but he never corrected Jaylene.His preferences were crystal clear. If Jaylene had any sense at all, she would have noticed. Yet, she still clung to that idealized version of Keegan, simply because that was the Keegan she desired.Besides, who in their right mind would willingly give banned substances to someone they cared about?This shallow, self-serving infatuation couldn't be considered love; it was nothing more than despicable possessiveness.Since regaining his memory, Keegan saw things with clarity.He recalled the days when he was bedridden due to his severe injury. Each time the nurse tended to his wounds, Jaylene stood nearby, her brow furrowed not out of fear, but out of disgust.At that time, he couldn't recall Stella. Jaylene had convinced him she was his lover, but deep down, he didn't believe it.How could his supposed lover recoil at the sight of his injuries?Though this memory was later erased by the hypnotist
