Stella paused then said, "Are you saying that Lina has other intentions?"

Keegan shook his head. "Not necessarily her, but it could be someone else who directed

her to Marshall."

Keegan figured that if Marshall wanted to use this matter against him, he would not have

waited until now.

Marshall had yet to find out what exactly happened back then, and he would not act so

recklessly. That was just not his way of doing things.

"Why would that person lead Lina to seek Marshall's help for this case? Who could be

behind it, and what's their purpose?" After listening to Keegan's speculation, Stella felt

even more confused.

Keegan thought for a moment and lifted his gaze, saying, "Marshall is different from other

lawyers. He has the Moore family behind him, so he dares to take on cases that others

wouldn't. Maybe that person saw this as an opportunity."

'That person was probably worried that Marshall wouldn't agree to help, so they used this

photo as bait to lure him in. It seems possible, right?' Stella wondered to herself.

"Oh, by the way, you mentioned earlier that the case of someone who died that night was

suppressed because Ricky was involved. Among the photos Marshall showed me, I saw

one with Luanna and him. Do you think her addiction could be related to Ricky?"

"Well, that won't be our concern," Keegan said gently. "Or do you want me to help your

classmate and need me to do something?"

Stella kept quiet for a moment, shook her head, and said softly, "I don't want you to get

into trouble."

The Adam family was capable of suppressing the news of Ricky testing positive in the

urine test, showing how influential they were. Stella did not want Keegan to cross those

people; it was simply too risky to do that for just a classmate.

Keegan hugged her shoulder and kissed her hair. "You're the boss."

Stella nestled into his arms, thought for a moment, and said, "Do you think we should

investigate what Ricky did at The Hox Club that day and get some information about the

person whose death was suppressed by the Adam family?

"Someone actually died, but literally no one talked about it at all. It shows how far the

Adam family would go to protect Ricky.

"I'm afraid that Lina would escalate things, and the Adam family would shift the blame

onto you. We've got to have something against them in our hands, just in case."

Although there were many other people in the photo with Luanna, only Keegan, the heir of

the top ten national conglomerates, was recognized nationwide.

He was the best candidate for news outlets to generate buzz.

Keegan chuckled. "They say pregnancy makes one dumber, but why do I feel like you have

gotten smarter since you got pregnant?"

Stella glowered at him. "I'm just worried about you. Why did you have to go to such shady

places to meet your client? Couldn't you have gone somewhere else? You can barely drink;

if someone you don't know tricked you into drinking a few drinks, you'd probably hand

them the entire Vinci Rivera."

Keegan responded, "I never touch alcohol when I'm doing business. The client changed

the meeting place at the last minute. The price he offered me was way too tempting, and

it would be worth meeting him, whether true or not.

"At that time, I desperately needed a client like him to strengthen my position in the

company. However, I couldn't see him anywhere that day and didn't close any deals. It

was just a prank."

Keegan abruptly paused as he spoke.

'Who would play such a boring prank?' he thought to himself.

"What's wrong?" Stella asked after he suddenly stopped talking.

Keegan shook his head. "Stay out of this. I'll look into it. Like you said, we need to have

some leverage on them and keep each other in check."

Stella worriedly said, "Be careful then. Don't attract any unwanted attention. II

Keegan squeezed her waist. "Have you gotten chubbier?"

Stella said, "The babies grew a little, and I gained three pounds."

Keegan chuckled softly. "I'm so lucky to have you.”

Stella clicked her tongue before saying, "Why weren't you this good with words before I

got pregnant? What makes your tongue so sweet now?"

Keegan said, "I'm just telling you how I feel. When Vermont's sister-in-law was pregnant,

she had severe morning sickness and would vomit everything she ate. But you're doing

great, eating more than ever before."

Stella was speechless.

She was not sure if he was complimenting or mocking her.

After Stella fell asleep that night, Keegan went to the study with his phone and called

Carter.
