“You better not deny it. How could she recognize it right away if it wasn’t hers?”
Keegan explained, “It originally belonged to her, but she didn’t give it to me. Instead, I bought it fromher.”
He hurriedly took out his phone and began searching through their chat history.
After scrolling through the messages, he had finally found a contact named “Red Agate BraceletSeller”, and its notification setting was set to “Do Not Disturb”.
Keegan tapped into that contact, and Stella immediately saw the last message from that person.[Keegan, I’m having my birthday party the day after tomorrow. Any chance you have time to come?]
Keegan did not even read it. Instead, he opened the transaction records and quickly found atransaction history of ninety thousand dollars.
Fearing that Stella might not believe him, he further explained, “I had Aldor find someone to appraisethe value of this bracelet back then, and I paid her based on the market value at that time. She refusedto take it, so I told Aldor to go to the bank the next day to wire the money to her. Aldor probably still hasthe receipt. I’ll give him a call right now…”novelbin
Keegan was eager to clarify himself and was about to call
Aldor.
Stella looked at him and reached out to hold his wrist. “It’s okay. I trust you,” she said softly.
In fact, she did not fully believe in what Jaylene said to begin with.
However, she was sure that the bracelet did belong to Jaylene.
She did not look at the bracelet closely when Keegan had given it to her previously.
However, after speaking to Jaylene just now, she examined the bracelet after going back to her room.Then, she spotted the extremely tiny initials “J.S.” in the corner of the bracelet’s gold charm.
That was the initial of Jaylene’s full name, Jaylene Saun.
Stella felt uncomfortable after seeing that.
Jaylene did not tell Keegan anything about that when she sold it to him. Clearly, Keegan was unawareof that as well. He only bought it from Jaylene because he thought that it looked good.
However, it was clear that Jaylene’s intention was not just to sell the bracelet.
She deliberately sold a bracelet with her initials engraved to Keegan…
Stella knew exactly what she was up to.
Keegan believed that the blind date was a secret to both sides, but it turned out that he was wrong.
Once he came to that realization, he also figured out why Jaylene would know that he was not a gooddrinker when he ate with the Saun family for the first time.
He was starting to get worried that Jaylene’s feelings toward him were far from being just a simpleinfatuation.
Keegan heaved a sigh of relief upon hearing what Stella said. Having learned from his past mistakes,he was very afraid of misunderstandings.
However, his expression turned grim as soon as he thought of how Jaylene tried to stir things up.
He took the bracelet off Stella’s hand and said in a deep voice, “I’ll tell Aldor to return this to hertomorrow!”
“Forget it.” Stella grabbed his hand. “She’s going to think that her plan succeeded if we were to return itnow.”
She took the Red Agate Bracelet back from Keegan and flatly said, “Let’s keep it for now.”
Very soon, Marshall got into the car with Molly and left.
In the car, Molly asked, “Marshall, where’s the stripper?”
Marshall turned the steering wheel emotionlessly and asked, “Why are you still looking for him?”
Molly gritted her teeth and said, “I want to know who set me up!”
Marshall replied calmly, “Calling the police is the best way if you really want to know. Why didn’t youwant to do that?”
Molly clenched her fists. “I don’t want my reputation to be tarnished!”
“Is that so?” Marshall swept his glance across her. “You better not do anything to Stella. She’s notsomeone you can mess with.”
Molly’s back stiffened before she said in a disdainful tone,” There’s no one I can’t afford to mess with.Are you warning me?”
“I’m just reminding you,” Marshall spoke flatly.
Molly scoffed, “Stella is Celeste. Marshall, it looks like she’s the one that you fell for, huh?”
