“I want twenty thousand points. No negotiation allowed,” said Keegan.
Stella felt surprised by the big number. She clenched her teeth and warned, ‘Don’t push it, Keegan!”novelbin
“I might end up in jail,” Keegan said again, sticking to his point.
“But twenty thousand points is just too much!” Stella exclaimed. ‘At this rate, the points will fill up soon!What if I can’t keep Keegan in line?’ she thought.
“I’m taking a big risk helping you with this plan. Shouldn’t I get a few more points?” Keegan argued.
Stella pursed her lips, relenting, “How about five thousand points?”
Keegan moved her hand away from his leg and told her,” Let’s talk about this later.”
Stella didn’t give up, suggesting, “Okay, how about eight thousand?”
Keegan paused. “Let’s make it ten thousand points.”
Stella’s fingers shook as she pointed at him. “Deal!” She said firmly.
She then passed him the phone and urged, “Now make the call!”
A faint smirk appeared on Keegan’s lips as he seated himself beside doesn’t know about thekindergarten?”
“Yeah. The land wouldn’t have remained vacant for so long if he actually near as daring as Hylda. Hewouldn’t openly commit such a crime,” Stella explained.
Keegan pursed his lips and said, “You might not know him well.”
Stella frowned, surprised by what he said.
After a moment of contemplation, Keegan disclosed the incident where Albert had used compromisingphotos of Stella to blackmail him for fifty million dollars.
Stella’s expression turned gloomy in an instant. It ‘Why did you give him the money when he wasblackmailing you?”
“I knew you were planning to have him arrested for trying to hurt you. That’s why I didn’t do anything,”explained Keegan.
If Albert got caught for blackmail, Hylda might become his only hope. Plus, he might not reveal the truthabout the car accident to protect his kids, which would make it harder for Stella to proceed.
Stella felt upset about losing the money. “But you didn’t have to give him five million dollars. He wouldhave spent it all before I could even get him arrested. And those pictures weren’t even that bad. Onlymy back was showing. Why
would you be so silly to fall for that?”
Stella’s reaction surprised Keegan. He held her chin and looked into her eyes, saying, “What do youmean it’s just your back? I get jealous whenever anyone sees your skin!”
Stella was surprised, remembering the charity event. Keegan had taken her shopping for dresses, buthe ended up giving the one she liked to Aurora. ‘That dress was quite revealing,1 she realized. Stellastarted to understand what really happened, considering how Keegan acted when he gave the dress toAurora and when she wore a different outfit.
“Keegan, did you tell me to give my dress to Aurora at the charity event because you thought it was toorevealing?” She whispered.
Keegan stared at her and replied, “How are you figuring this out now?”
Stella couldn’t believe it. “Sorry, I’m not a mind reader,” she said. “Why didn’t you just tell me you didn’twant others looking at me, you prude?!”
Keegan looked at her after hearing that. “Would you have listened? Remember when I said those tornjeans didn’t suit you? What did you do? You wore them all the time for a whole month and made sure Isaw them. It’s like you’re still in your rebellious phase.”
Stella was at a loss for words.
