Chapter 324
After Aurora had sent Stella to the room, Stella never came out of it. She could not have entered
Jackson’s room unless Aurora had led her there in the first place.
It was Stella’s first time at the Kane residence after she got married. She did not even know where
Keegan’s room was. So, it was clear that Aurora had led her in there. But, no matter how she tried to
explain herself, Dahlia believed she had too much to drink, and her memory was
skewed.
Stella was young and energetic back then and was determined to prove her innocence. She even said
that she would go to Cordelia and ask her to investigate this matter clearly.
Dahlia’s expression changed upon hearing this. She told Stella that this incident was ridiculous and
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtembarrassing. If she were to bring the problem to Cordelia, she would only find that she had an affair
with Jackson on her wedding night. She told her that no matter the truth, the incident would be a great
shame and humiliation to Keegan, and no one would look good if the issue got out of control:
Stella was too young to fight back at that time. She retreated once Dahlia mentioned Keegan’s name.
She feared that he would think of her badly like these people did. Stella did not care about other people’s
opinions, but she cared about Keegan’s.
Dahlia told her that it would embarrass the family if she told anyone about it to ensure that she would
stay quiet. Jackson, of course, did not speak out about molesting his sister-in-law.
When Stella thought about it later, she suddenly realized that Dahlia did not want her to raise the matter
because she wanted to protect Aurora. The truth was bound to come out if someone investigated the
case.
Stella wanted to tell Keegan about it multiple times, but she was unsure if anything would happen since
Aurora was his younger sister. He would be defensive at most and deny it, or he would probably blame
Stella for the incident, just like Dahlia did.
Both endings made no difference to her. Slowly, the more time passed, the lesser she wanted to mention
it. So, when Keegan asked about it in the present, she only brushed over it lightly. Keegan frowned. He
could clearly see that Stella’s expression had changed when he asked about Jackson, but she did not
want to tell him about what happened. This made Keegan a little unhappy. He did not like it when Stella
refused to tell him what was on her mind. Cordelia’s room was huge, and this was Stella’s first time in it.
It was clear that she and Keegan had similar preferences since they both had wall shelves for their
books.
Keegan rummaged around in the cabinet and found the ointment Cordelia was talking about. He then
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmtook Stella to the second-floor sunroom to help him with the medication.
Stella applied the ointment on him with a cotton swab and said, “Grandma loves you so much that she
doesn’t forget to take care of your wound even when you guys argue. You are much more pampered
than Jackson. Look up.”
Keegan tilted his head upward and calmly said, “Isn’t it always like this with old people? How many days
has your grandpa treated you for your stiff neck?”
Stella’s eyes softened a bit when Keegan mentioned Arthur. “Grandpa just called and said he
made chicken soup again. He asked when we would be back.”
The corners of Keegan’s eyes twitched. “I have to do overtime tonight.”
“Grandpa will be disappointed,” Stella sighed. She was about to screw the lid back on the ointment when
Keegan took her arm and stopped her. “Come here,” he said.
“What?”
Keegan then pinched her elbow and asked, “Does it hurt?”
