Chapter 250
Keegan was speechless.
‘Vermont’s also my friend, but I don’t see her hesitating when she rips him off,’ he thought.
He studied Marshall carefully.
‘I suddenly realized… Marshall is pretty good-looking,’ he thought again.
The more Keegan thought about it, the more uncomfortable he felt. So after that, he did not speak during
their meal.
However, Stella seemed unaware of his emotions. She was all smiles as she ate and chatted away with
Marshall.
Keegan paid the check and went outside. Stella was talking to Marshall while they stood at the curbside.
“Mr. Moore, where are you heading? We’ll give you a ride there after this,” Stella said in a slightly warm
and gentle tone.
Since they all came in a car, Marshall would have to hail a cab if the two of them left.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtMarshall handed her a few mints he had taken from the counter just now. Then, he smiled, There’s no
need. I have something to do nearby, so I’ll just walk and stimulate digestion.”
Then, he saw Keegan walking over, “You and Keegan should get back soon; it’s getting late.”
“Alright, then. Let’s get in touch when you have the time,” Stella did not insist. She bade him goodbye
and got in the car.
Marshall waved at the two through the mirror. Then, the car slowly drove away.
Stella handed Keegan a mint, “Do you want one?”
Keegan had a tense expression and did not take the mint.
Stella did not bother asking more questions.
“Who knows what got on this lunatic’s nerves again? I already noticed his unhappy expression when we
were eating just now. I wonder who upset him again,’ she thought.
Keegan watched as Stella heartlessly chewed on her candy. Suddenly, he felt annoyed for no
reason.
He asked quietly, “How’d you and Marshall meet?”
Stella’s hand froze. Then, she said coolly, “Didn’t I tell you before? I was consulting a lawyer for my friend
and coincidentally met him.”
“The first time he met you was at the hospital, right? Were you helping your friend consult a lawyer at the
hospital? You even made up your name. So, Stella Jewell, which few sentences from your mouth are
genuine?”
Stella’s expression darkened, “What do you mean?”
“Stay away from Marshall even if we get divorced. Don’t get any ideas you shouldn’t have toward him,
he’s not someone you should taint.”
Stella paled.
‘Who does this bastard think I am? Even if I find a new man after we get divorced, there’s no way I’d find
one of his friends. Have I gone insane? Especially that tone of his; it’s a warning tone tinged with
disdain,’ she thought.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmStella felt heartbroken and embarrassed.
‘In his eyes, am I the person who looks for her next man when I haven’t even gotten divorced? Even
desperate, I wouldn’t go for Keegan’s friends. He doesn’t care about me, nor have his friends. I’m only
extra attentive toward Marshall because he’s involved in the lawsuit. These friends of his only speak and
tease me out of courtesy and for the sake of Keegan. They look. down on me, and I know this better than
anyone else. I don’t need Keegan reminding me repeatedly!’ she thought.
Stella suppressed the anger and hurt within. Then, she said in a hoarse voice, “You’re overthinking, Mr.
Kane. I’m only kind to Mr. Moore because I’m cooperating with you so that you can get the 10-billion-
dollar inheritance division. Once we get divorced, and I get the money, I won’t spare you and your friends
a glance.”
Keegan’s expression changed.
‘What’s with her attitude?’ he thought.
However, Stella was not done talking. She continued with an icy expression, “By the way, didn’t you want
to know why Mr. Moore and I first met at the hospital? The truth is, the day at the hospital was also the
day we both agreed to get our divorce. I didn’t go because my mother was critically ill, not because I
didn’t want a divorce.”
Keegan’s hands trembled as he turned to her in shock.
