Chapter 299
Stella did not expect Bella to act so insanely. Luckily, she reacted quickly and managed to grab the
guardrail in time.
But, Bella was very strong. She seemed as though she would not give up until she could pull Stella down
into the water. Stella realized that she could not free herself. So, she kicked Bella.
‘Get off!’ Stella thought.
Bella was then kicked into the water out of fear by Stella.
Mrs. Chapman suddenly screamed behind Stella. “Help, somebody. Someone fell into the water!”
Her voice instantly alerted everyone on deck.
“Who dropped into the water?”
“I think it’s Ms. Young.”
“Oh, my god. She was just fine a while ago. How did she fall into the water?”
“Mrs. Chapman said she saw Ms. Young arguing with Mrs. Kane. Then, she heard the sound of water
splashing after a short while.”
“Are you saying that Mrs. Kane pushed her into the water?”
“I didn’t say that.”
People were talking about the incident on the ship.
When they saw Keegan, everyone kept quiet.

Keegan came forth from the crowd. He then saw Stella standing next to the guardrail, expressionlessly
looking at the rescuer dragging Bella onto the lifeboat.
He pursed his lips and walked forward to grab Stella’s hand. Stella froze for a moment. She pressed her
lips and remained silent.
The seawater was exceptionally cold. Although Bella did not drown, she was freezing.
She wore a gauze dress in the month of April to be in the limelight. After she got wet, her clothes were all
sticking to her body. Her body curves could be seen clearly.
The men at the scene looked awkward. But, they would periodically glance at her body.
Marshall took off his jacket. He then walked forward and put it on Bella.
Bella’s eyes were red as she said in a hoarse voice, “thank you.”
The doctor on the cruise ship came forward to examine Bella. He said that she was in a state of shock.
She was fine other than that.
After the doctor had left, Bella brought up her emotions. Just when she was about to speak, Stella
suddenly stepped forward and grabbed her hand. She said with a face full of remorse, “I told you to grab
onto my hand tightly just now. Why did you loosen your grip? Luckily, you’re fine. Otherwise, I wouldn’t
be able to explain this to everyone.”
Bella looked confused.
Keegan sized them up and faintly said, “What happened?”
“1”
“Ms. Young drank too much. She was standing shakingly next to the guardrail. And, when the ship
jerked, she lost her balance and flipped over the rail. I wanted to grab her. But, she released her grip and
fell into the water. My wrist is so painful from her pull.”
Stella played the coquette when she said the last sentence. She even pulled up her sleeve to show
Keegan as she said that. There was an obvious circle of finger marks, and someone had clearly pulled
her wrist.
Keegan unconsciously frowned as he looked at the circle of finger marks.
Bella did not expect that Stella would distort the truth. After she realized what was happening, she
immediately denied it. “No!”
Keegan glanced at her. “No, what?”
Bella instantly kept quiet when she saw the anger in his eyes.
‘I’ve already lost the opportunity to explain first. If I say that Stella pushed me into the water now, not only
would Keegan take her side, but he’d also even think that I’m falsely accusing Stella.
“The ring of finger marks on her wrist is the best proof,’ thought Bella.
Bella hated Stella very much. She lowered her eyes and softly said, “I didn’t want to release my grip. But,
I was afraid that I’d pull Mrs. Kane down into the water. That was why I loosened my grip. I’d be very
guilty if Mrs. Kane fell into the water.”
Stella raised her eyebrows.
‘If Bella could act so well like she did in real life, people wouldn’t criticize her so much.
‘If I didn’t speak before her, she’d definitely cry and blame everything on me.
‘When that happens, everyone would blame me. And, I won’t even have the chance to explain myself.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm‘Although I did kick her down. But, she asked for it.
‘She’s so brainless. She filmed too many shows. I can’t believe she’d put on such an act.
‘She even wanted Keegan to save her. Keegan can’t even swim!”
Stella was stunned for a moment.
‘Bella knew Keegan for so many years. How could she not know that Keegan can’t swim?” Stella
thought.
Stella doubtfully sized Bella up. She then stared at Bella’s belly.
“The baby inside her stomach is her most valuable bargaining chip. Bella knows she’s pregnant. So, why
the charade?
‘When Aurora pushed her during the charity gala back then, it was actually quite a nasty fall. But,
incredibly, she seemed okay after that.
‘My classmate was extremely careful the first three months when she was pregnant. Bella is pregnant
with a golden child. Why is she not afraid of miscarriage? Stella thought to herself.
And so, the farce had ended just like that.
The crowd on the ship was still talking about it endlessly. Stella did not want to stay there and listen to
them. So, she went straight back to her room.
After a short while, someone knocked on her door.
Stella thought that it was Keegan. So, she reluctantly walked forward to open the door.
However, after she opened the door, she saw Marshall.
“Mr. Moore?”
Marshall raised the bag in his hand and said, “I asked the doctor for some medicated oil.” He then
pointed at Stella’s wrist and added, “Rub some on it. It’ll get better quicker.”
