Chapter 1570
Keegan remained silent, as he debated with himself on whether to speak or not. He felt that Stella was good at
this.' Why did she have to get me involved in such an embarrassing situation?'
Keegan suppressed his irritation and reached out to gently support Stella. "Grandma, are you okay? Can you
stand?" he asked. Histone was filled with genuine concern.
Stella responded with theatrical groans. "Oh, my goodness... it hurts so much..."
The crowd around them buzzed with commentary, drawing parallels to similar incidents they'd heard of. Some
speculated on the authenticity of the pregnant woman's condition, while others pointed out the suspicious nature of
the entire situation.
"Why would this old lady prick him with a needle? I can't believe he would say that just to evade responsibility."
"I think I've seen this pregnant woman before."
"There was news about a pregnant lady who got into an accident and demanded over ten thousand dollars for
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtcompensation. The police came, and she argued with them for a long time. In the end, she got a few thousand
dollars. Could it be that they're the same person?"
"Let me search up the video real quick."
As the situation escalated, the swindling couple attempted to make a hasty exit, but they were intercepted by
concerned bystanders.
"Just where do you think you're going after injuring this elderly lady?" one person demanded.
The man no longer displayed his previous arrogance. Instead, he stood his ground and insisted on taking his wife to
the hospital.
"The ambulance is on its way. Just wait here," someone said.
Just as they were speaking, both the ambulance and the traffic police arrived at the scene.
Stella's feigned injuries quickly unraveled under the scrutiny of the medical professionals, and it became apparent
that the pregnant woman was unharmed. The police revealed that this couple was notorious for such scams with a
history of three similar incidents in just three months.
At the same time, the authorities reprimanded Stella for her act.
The white van that had rear-ended them turned out to be a stolen vehicle, and efforts were underway to identify
the owner. The officers mentioned that they would contact Keegan and Stella with updates when they found out
who was behind the wheel.
After experiencing the tumultuous events, Stella stretched her limbs and vented her frustrations. "I actually thought
that woman was pretending to be pregnant. Who would've
thought that it was real? I can't believe they would pull such scams with a baby on the way."
Keegan could not help but snort in agreement. "I cant say much about their actions. But I must admit, you seemed
to thoroughly enjoy your performance. Did you have to act out your dreams of becoming an aspiring actress right
in front of me?"
Stella let out an awkward laugh. She linked her arm with Keegan's and said, "I was just worried that you'd be taken
advantage of. They were clearly trying to extort you, and you, being soooo kind-hearted, might have fallen for it.
What if they actually got the money?"
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"I'm not that naive," Keegan retorted, as he wiped off the dark stains on Stella's face. "Aren't you afraid that
someone would see through your facade?"
"A good actor would know what to do in order to stay in disguise. With the right actions and voice, who's going to
scrutinize an old lady?" said Stella while she removed her wig. "I have to buy a new set of clothes for grandma since
these ones are dirty."
Not far away, a man in a duckbill cap watched the two intently with a cigarette in his hand. Suddenly, his phone
rang, and he answered it with his other hand.
The voice on the other end sounded cold. "I told you to keep an eye on them and not to act recklessly!"
The man let out a puff of smoke, and his tone was firm." Don't talk to me with that tone!"
"I'm merely giving you a warning. Do you think you can escape if you make a move now?"
The man queried, "Are you sure we have the right man? He doesn't quite fit the description."
"Even if you can't identify him, surely you would recognize the woman beside him, right?"
The man's expression darkened. He put out his cigarette and clenched his teeth. "I'd still be able to recognize her
even if she was reduced to ashes!"
