Chapter 1995
Aldor, feeling like a pawn in a whimsical game, approached Aurora. She immediately grabbed his collar
and began scrubbing his face fiercely with a wet wipe. The force reminded Aldor of a vigorous
bathhouse scrub, making him wince and quickly pull away.
"Why are you dodging? Proud of that lipstick mark on your face?" Aurora scolded, irritated.
"Lipstickmark?" Aldor asked, bewildered.
Aurora glared at him, "Jaylene kissed you in the car. Did you enjoy it? Remember, she's not Mr. Saun's
daughter. Forget about becoming a wealthy son-in-law!"
Aldor, at a loss for words, asked, "So, we're over?"
"Over what?" Aurora was confused.
"You told me to give up on my dreams of marrying into wealth," he said seriously.
Aurora, momentarily speechless, retorted, "I meant her, not you!novelbin
And how long have we been dating? Can you even tell if it's serious? Or do you want to end it? If so,
you tell Grandma. I won't take the blame!"
Seeing her agitated state, he smiled softly, "So, I can still dream of marrying into wealth?"
Feeling uncomfortable under Aider's gaze, she reverted to her usual brash demeanor and tossed the
wet wipe at him, "wipe it off yourself! Disgusting!"
'No wonder Stella insisted Keegan sit in the front seat earlier. She had been guarding him against
Jaylene all along, using Aldor as a shield to protect her husband from romantic advances. Clever!'
Aurora thought.
Unable to hear anything from the room, Stella eventually went downstairs to wait in the living room. Her
phone rang soon after; it was Cordelia.
"Coco said you were drinking. You didn't, did you?" Cordelia asked.
"No, Grandma. How could I?" Stella replied.
"Where are you? why send Baldwin for Coco? Couldn't you go?"
Stella thought, 'It wasn't convenient, not during our scheming.' 1
"We couldn't. Keegan got drunk, and Aldor couldn't manage alone.
" Stella explained.
"Just Aldor?" Cordelia questioned slowly. "Coco mentioned
Jaylene. who's with her?"
Stella was at a loss.
Always astute, Cordelia probably suspected something. She knew Keegan was calm, but Stella was
more vengeful and harder to control.
" Jaylene is with US. We asked Baldwin for Coco since Aldor was busy with her," Stella said.
"I see. Make sure she gets home safely," Cordelia advised.
Stella agreed and hung up.
Less than half an hour later, Jaylene's phone rang. It was Darcie.
'Darcie is too clever. She won't believe anything I say if I answer,' Stella thought. After pondering, Stella
deepened her voice and altered her tone before answering, "Darcie, it's me."
Darcie paused, surprised. The male voice on the other end was unmistakably Keegan's.
