Female Novel
Chapter 1658
When she got lost during a vacation once, Aurora remembered the relief on Keegan’s face when hefinally managed to find her under the scorching sun, drenched in sweat.
She remembered when the laboratory caught fire, Keegan had saved her and kept repeating, “It’sokay,” as they escaped from the flames.
She remembered that no matter what she wished for on her birthday, Keegan would do everything inhis power to make it happen.
Then, she thought about Keegan, who might still be immersed in the icy river, yet their mother s onlyconcern was the will. She could not bear it anymore and came up with an excuse to leave.
Three days had passed, but it felt like an eternity for Stella. However, she felt somewhat relievedbecause there was still no news from the rescue team.novelbin
For now, no news was the best news for her.
Stella woke up very early in the morning. After she changed and went downstairs, she bumped intoJaylene, who had just returned home.
Jaylene had not come home last night. To be precise, she had rarely been at home for the past fewdays.
Darcie said that Jaylene went to spend time with her friend who had just returned from overseas, butStella remained skeptical about it.
She guessed that Jaylene probably had a boyfriend. They were still in their honeymoon phase, so theywanted to spend as much time as possible with each other.
‘Is it normal for her to forget about someone so easily?’ Stella paused as she thought, ‘The person shelikes is still missing, yet she still has the mood to hang out with her friend. Is that normal?’ As shethought about that, her gaze turned somewhat doubtful as she looked at Jaylene.
Jaylene looked drained. After she greeted Stella, she headed straight to her room upstairs.
“Jaylene,” Stella called out to her, “Is your classmate still here?”
Jaylene smiled, “My classmate plans to stay here for another two weeks. So, we want to make themost of our time left.”
Do you want me to show your friend around? You’ve spent so much time abroad, and you might not bevery familiar with the city. I’ve grown up here and know which streets have the best eateries. Since yourclassmate will only return once in a long time, I’d be happy to show him around.”
Jaylene was taken aback. As she looked at the gentle expression on Stella’s face, she said, “It’s fine.You’re probably not in a good mood these days anyway. I’ll just take them to wherever I’m familiarwith.”
Stella smiled back, “Are you sure? It had happened for so many days now. I’m starting to accept italready.”
Jaylene scrutinized Stella and could not figure out what she was thinking.
“Okay then. I’ll let them know about it. If you’re free tomorrow, we’ll make plans.”
“Sure.” Stella nodded.
Once Jaylene went upstairs, Stella’s expression turned cold. Then, she took out her phone and calledFelicity, “Felicity, I need your help…” 1 In Vinci Rivera, the executives were having a meeting.
Compared to the evenly matched competition three weeks ago, the balance had shifted along withKeegan’s disappearance. Chandler and Jackson taking over Vinci Rivera was almost a done deal.Many people had decided to switch sides, offering them their full support.
Meanwhile, on Keegan’s side, they had lost their backbone. Though his team was still intact, theirmorale had taken a significant hit.
“Mr. Kane, it’s about time. Let’s begin.”
Just as Chandler was about to nod, Aldor said, “Wait a moment. Our team’s leader will arrive shortly.”
Everyone was shocked upon hearing that.
‘What does that mean? Is Keegan back?’ They wondered to themselves
