Female Novel
Chapter 1575
Keegan’s query left Stella taken aback.
Having had a few drinks, her mind was not as sharp as usual. After a few seconds of contemplation, shehesitated before responding, “Maybe… he wasn’t
feeling well. When I went there that day, he looked pale and couldn’t even stand properly. He had somewater and took a moment to recover. M
Keegan furrowed, “Why didn’t you mention this to me at the time?”
Stella snorted, “You were giving me a hard time already.
Who knows if you intentionally let Sophia in?”
Keegan was baffled by her accusation. Annoyed, he said,” How could I have let her into the room in thestate I was in? Why can’t it be Marshall who let her in?”
“Don’t be silly.” Stella poked Keegan’s forehead and said,” Mr. Moore wouldn’t do that. Even if he did, I’dsay he’s quite the character. He took advantage of
you being drunk and gave you a little bonus. What a good man.”
Keegan was at a loss for words, ‘She must be playing a trick on me. How could she say something likethat?’ He thought as he hugged her tightly. He then took
out his phone and dialed Trevor’s number, “Let Uncle Wenham know that Stella won’t be going hometonight.”
Trevor’s eyelids twitched, “Why are you asking me to cover for you?”
“Please, my dear brother-in-law?”
“Get lost!”
Keegan brought Stella back to Clouditude International.
After caring for her and ensuring she fell asleep, he went outside with his phone and called Aldor, askinghim to retrieve the surveillance footage from Vermont’s
birthday night.novelbin
Aldor happened to be dining nearby with his friends. When he received Keegan’s call, he hurriedlyexcused himself.
His friends teased, “Your high salary doesn’t come easy, does it? Are you on call twenty-four hours aday?”
Aldor did not respond. Instead, he just smiled and said, “You guys enjoy yourselves. Put it on my tab.”
Keegan certainly was not one to exploit his employees. He would not disturb them after work if it werenot for something important.
Aldor knew that there was a reason behind his boss being so eager to retrieve the footage from thatnight.
However, Vermont’s birthday was over half a year ago, and hotel surveillance tape is usually only kept fora month. So, Aldor came back empty-handed.
Since there was no CCTV footage, the only ones who knew the truth were the people involved.
Sophia had been having a very tough time lately. Albert and Hylda’s case had entered the second phaseof the trial, and the court had frozen all their assets. Sophia was left homeless.
Moreover, her report against Albert had somehow gotten out, and now anyone who knew her wouldmock her for her” great achievements” in upholding justice.
Sophia had become a joke in the entire social circle.
At the same time, she had no means to repay the eight million dollars that Ethan had lent her, and hewould not let her off the hook. The authorities had also
banned her @ ShilohTalks account for spreading false information about the food safety incident at theSunlight Kindergarten.
