Chapter 1961

Stella suppressed laughter and spoke warmly, "It's hard to tell with kids. I used to spend a lot of time

outdoors as a child, and I didn't get fair right away. As you grow up and take care of yourself, your skin

will naturally lighten over time. But even if it doesn't, that's perfectly fine. What matters is that you're

healthy and confident. All skin tones are beautiful."

Coco perked up when she heard that. She then set a time to meet up with Stella and turned off her

phone.

Stella looked at the photos Coco had sent her. She couldn't quite pinpoint who Coco resembled, but it

definitely wasn't Marshall.

'Marshall must have seen Coco during Keegan's "funeral". At that time, he didn't seem to have any

particular reaction,' thought Stella.

'Am I overthinking things?' she sighed.

Meanwhile, Cyrene and her friends were playing poker.

"Cyrene, your luck is really something today. How much did you win?” asked one of her friends.

Cyrene grinned and replied, "What do you mean? I just managed to recover what I lost earlier. You all

better not leave. We're having supper after we're done playing."

"We're fine with that, but we don't want to disturb Chandler," another friend teased.

Cyrene enjoyed the lively atmosphere, often inviting people over for card games.

Chandler, on the other hand, preferred peace.

Every time Cyrene's friends came over, he didn't bother with greetings and just went upstairs. So, the

group of women rarely played too late.

"He can rest while we play. It won't be a bother," said Cyrene.

As soon as she finished speaking, the study door suddenly opened. Chandler grabbed his jacket and

hurriedly walked out.

Puzzled, Cyrene stood up and asked, "Honey, where are you going so late?"

Chandler put on his shoes as he said, "Something urgent came up at the company. I need to go handle

it."

"What could be so urgent at the company this late at night?"

"You wouldn't understand even if I told you." With that, Chandler opened the door and left.

Cyrene mumbled a couple of words and continued the game.

"Hey, did any of you check your phones just now?" one of the women said while playing. "Olivia's

husband got taken away by the Public Integrity Section."

Dahlia and Cyrene didn't get along, so those who were on good terms with Cyrene naturally didn't

support Olivia. At

most, they'll politely greet her, just to keep up appearances.

"I saw the news. Her husband got promoted not long ago, and they had a grand banquet. I never

thought he'd end up in custody so soon. I heard Olivia reported him herself," someone replied.

"Erick had an affair, and Olivia has been holding onto this grudge for a while," another added.

"Yeah. She even put Dahlia in jail."

Cyrene paused and asked, "What? Who's in jail?"

"Dahlia-your sister-in-law. Everyone's talking about it in the group chat. She put oil on the stairs,

causing someone to fall and get injured. So the police arrested her."

Cyrene tightened her grip on the cards. She then suddenly stood up and said, "Apologies, ladies. Let's

call it a night. I just remembered I have something to attend to. We'll reschedule another day."

After seeing off the women, Cyrene took out her phone and called Jackson.

When the call connected, she bluntly asked, "Jackson, are you at the company?"

"No, I'm having drinks with friends. What's up, Mom?"

There was a lot of background noise from Jackson's end. He was probably at a bar.

Cyrene whispered, "Your dad went to the company to handle something. He's dressed lightly. Come

back and send him a

coat."

"Are you mistaken? The company is on holiday today. No one is there. Why would he go to the office?"

Cyrene's face darkened. "Is that so? Sorry, I must have remembered wrong. I'll hang up now."

As soon as she hung up, Keegan's call came in.

Cyrene frowned, paused for two seconds, then answered.

"Cyrene, it's me, Keegan." His tone was calm as he introduced himself.
