The waiter crashed right where Stella had been standing, sending the table and its contents crashing to the ground, shards ofglass flying in every direction. Stella, still shaken, felt her heart pounding in her chest as she turned even paler.
A voice beside her said, "Don't worry, everything's fine." Stella snapped out of it, looking at Marshall Moore who was holding her.She took a deep breath, pulling her wrist away and whispered softly, "Thank you."
Marshall's eyes showed concern, but he held back from moving closer. He tightened his grip on Stella's hand, murmuring, "Aslong as you're okay.”
Keegan, wearing a stern expression, approached. Before he could react, Stella stepped forward, grabbing his hand. "Getsomeone to clean up. Don't alarm the guests."
Keegan's hand trembled slightly in hers. Stella squeezed it firmly, her eyes assuring him that she was fine, urging him to staycomposed.
She noticed a few kids chasing each other, accidentally tripping the waiter. It was just an accident, but if Keegan lost his temper,it would ruin the image he had just projected to Marshall.
Gradually, Keegan calmed down under her reassurance. He suppressed his emotions, comforting the crowd while instructingAldor Hart to send people to clean up.
Vermont, who had been chatting with friends nearby, was startled by the commotion. He quickly asked what happened.Marshall explained, "A few kids were chasing each other, they tripped the waiter, and almost knocked Stella over."
Vermont took a sharp breath, subconsciously glancing at Stella's belly. He was about to speak but was silenced by Keegan'ssharp look.
Vermont suddenly felt guilty.
Before the appreciation banquet, Keegan had specifically told him to stay with Stella. But he had just returned from the restroomand got caught up in conversation with friends. He didn't expect things to go south so quickly.
Luckily, nobody was hurt. Otherwise, Keegan would have been furious."These kids... I'll talk to their parents later.”
Keegan glared at Vermont, his face tense. "Let's clear the area first. There's glass everywhere, we don't want anyone to gethurt."
To Vermont, it sounded like: "Get my wife to safety first. If she's harmed, you'll answer to me."Vermont felt uneasy.
All those people online only knew Keegan as a genius. Why hadn't anyone exposed his philandering and bad temper?
Despite his emotions, Vermont moved Stella and the others to a table farther away.
