Chapter 1569
Stella shot Keegan a look that asked him to relax. She approached the couple with trembling hands. She then
hunched over and asked, "Sir, how is your wife?"
Seeing Keegan's expression becoming much more restrained, the man immediately accused him. "Your grandson
crashed into my car and pushed my wife. She's five months pregnant, and we don't even know if the child will make
it!"
Upon hearing this, Stella raised her trembling hand and slapped Keegan. "You unfilial child! How could you lay a
hand on a pregnant woman?!"
Keegan endured the slap that did not really sting. He bore his teeth and cooperated with her performance. "I didn't
push her!"
"Stop being so stubborn, will you?!" Stella yelled, and she slapped him two more times.

him.
After reprimanding Keegan, Stella started coughing for a moment. Then, she turned to the man with a gentle
smile." This boy was in a rush to take me to the hospital. He doesn't have much patience and is not good with
words. There's no need to argue with him, sir."
The man gave Stella a scornful look. "At least one of you is making sense here. How did you end up raising such a
crude, old lady?"
Keegan's face darkened. He was on the verge of losing his temper, but Stella firmly held onto his hand. She
changed the subject and asked, "How is your wife? We can take her to the hospital for an examination."
"We can do the examination ourselves. Just compensate us, and we'll get going."
"It's better we all get her checked just in case. What will you do if things are more serious than it is and what we pay
you isn't enough for her medical bills?" Stella said persuasively.
The man was baffled upon hearing that. 'What is wrong with this old lady? Why would she care if they under-
compensate us?’
"Stop wasting my time. Give us twenty grand, and we'll be even. We won't be bothering you even if my wife's
condition turns out to be more serious than it is."
Stella frowned and gripped the man's hand. "Sir, can't we talk this out? Two hundred thousand dollars is not a small
sum..."
Just as the man was listening to her, he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his palm. He instinctively pulled his hand away
from hers, causing Stella to stumble and fall to the ground.
Stella cried out in pain, as she lay there. Her face was turning pale. Her legs twitched, as she struggled to get up.
This scene left the man dumbfounded. Keegan was also startled by this sudden turn of events. He was about to
help Stella up, but she pinched him just as his hand touched her.
Keegan could not believe her.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"Ouch... My back... Ouch... My elbow... Ouch..." Stella trembled and groaned. "Sir, I was just trying to negotiate with
you. Why did you push me? Ouch..." she said in a strained voice.
The man finally realized what she was doing. "You old hag. You're trying to scam me, aren't you? I didn't push you!"
Stella curled up on the ground. Her voice was frail, as she accused, "Why would I falsely accuse you when so many
people are watching? I didn't say I wouldn't give you money. Why did you resort to violence..? Ow..."
"Is this guy out of his mind? Not only did he not rush his pregnant wife to the hospital, but he even pushed an old
lady!"
"With so many surveillance cameras around, they won't get away with this. Why was he so insistent on getting the
money when insurance would cover the damage and the medical bills?"
"That pregnant woman was wailing earlier, but now she's not even shedding a tear. Were they trying to con the
man into paying them?"
Seeing the crowd pointing fingers at him, the man suddenly grew furious and embarrassed. "You old hag. You used
something to prick me. That was why I let go of your grip. Just admit you don't want to pay me. You are deliberately
trying to scam me out of my compensation!"
Stella remained silent. Her face was pale as she lay on the ground, while her legs were twitching. Upon witnessing
this scene, Keegan suddenly thought of Jaylene's condition during the last family gathering.
