“What are you daydreaming about?” The front desk was knocked on twice by a handsome-looking manwith his elbows on the reception counter. The man raised his chin with a half-smile and said, “Did I payyou to daydream?” He was Vermont Snyder, the owner of Neon Nebula. The receptionist knewVermont very well, so she was not a bit afraid of him. “Boss, you’re often nowhere to be seen.” “Heh.You sharp-tongued thing!” Vermont was just about to flirt with the receptionist, but an untimely coughcame from behind. He paused for a second and immediately retracted his flirtatious expression.“Where is Andrew? Get him down here,” he sounded serious. “Mr. Keen is auditioning another artist,”the receptionist answered. “Audition?” Vermont was stunned. “Dusk Galaxy is here?” The receptionistnodded. A glint of joy and surprise flashed in Vermont’s eyes. As soon as he turned around, facingsullen-looking Keegan, he immediately suppressed his expression and ordered the receptionist with astraight face, “Give him a call. I need to ask him about something.” The call was put out for a while andthen connected. Vermont turned on the speaker and said, “Andrew, how is the audition? If it’s notsuccessful, I have an artist here. Her voice is not bad.” “That won’t be necessary. We auditioned thatperson, and the contract is already signed.” Actually, the contract was not even drafted, which meantAndrew clearly heard Vermont’s hints. Vermont was completely at ease. He said pretentiously, “Signingsomeone is an important matter, and you didn’t even discuss it with me?! Who is the boss here?” Theother side directly hung up the call. Vermont cursed, “Andrew Keen is getting more insolent!” Aftersaying that, he turned around and spoke to Keegan in resignation, “You heard him. The contract issigned. Let’s wait for the next update. If there is a suitable role, we’ll sign her up for it.” “Honor of theDeities” was currently Neon Nebula’s most promising project. Vermont would not allow Bella to destroyits perfection. Keegan casually glanced at Vermont. “I will pay that person double the charges for thepenalty of breaking the contract. Let her give up on this role, and I will give you a three-percent cut forthe project at North Cove Town.” Vermont’s frivolous expression changed. He stared at Keegan for afew seconds before he asked, “You serious?” Although Keegan did not speak, his eyes had made itclear. “Time and time again, you’ve stuffed Bella with resources. I’m starting to suspect that the internet

rumors are true,” said Vermont. However, Keegan was only concerned about Vermont’s decision. “Isthat a yes or no?” “I’ll think about it,” Vermont replied. When Keegan still wanted to say something, thedoor to the elevator opened, and a familiar face appeared. Keegan froze for a second when their gazesmet. Meanwhile, Stella only paused for half a second before she evaded his line of sight. After shecame out of the elevator, she politely nodded at Vermont before walking to the exit. Vermont hesitantlysaid, “Did your wife not notice you?” Keegan’s face turned glum. He ignored Vermont and lunged tochase after Stella. When he was outside, he saw her standing by the road waiting for a car. Stella’sback was slim, and her hair was tied into a soft, low ponytail. She slightly dipped her head to look at herphone and did not pay the slightest attention to Keegan who was in front of her. “Why are you here?”The interrogating voice was filled with an unreasonable apathy. Meeting him early in the morning hadruined Stella’s mood, so her tone was also laced with harshness. “If you can be here, why can’t I behere?” Keegan sneered lightly, “You’re not done playing your stalking act?” Stella’s eyebrows twitchedas she snarled inwardly, ‘How presumptuous!’ Seeing that she say nothing, Keegan was even morecertain about his speculation. His mood had unexpectedly turned slightly better. However, his tone wasstill cold. “If you want to know my schedule, you should just call and ask me. There is no need to gothrough all these twists and turns.” Stella had endured his remarks, but now she could no longer holdback. “Keegan, has no one ever said you are shameless? Who is stalking you? I stalked you fromwalking out of the elevator? Did I say something to you? Who is the one that’s actually beingfollowed?” “Pfft…” Vermont, who was listening in secret, could not help but laugh. Keegan held hissolemn look and shot Vermont a glare. Only then did Vermont immediately hide himself. “Why are youhere?” Keegan asked with a worried expression. Stella casually glanced at him. “What does that haveto do with you?” Her words were harsher than his. Keegan’s eyelids twitched hard. He was afraid thatthey would fight again if they continued the conversation. He suppressed his anger and stiffly said,“Aurora is back. Mom told us to go over to have a meal tomorrow.” “Oh,” Stella replied nonchalantly,“What does that have to do with me? We are about to get a divorce. I don’t need to accompany youand play the husband-and-wife, mother-in-law, and daughter-in-law act again, right?” “Act?” Keeganbarely contained his emotions as his rage was immediately prodded. He sneered, “You are good at

acting. Tell me, what do you want this time? Clothes? Handbags? Jewelry? Or, to give the Jewell familya project? Fussing for a divorce and running away, you have done enough for your act. How big isAlbert Jewell’s appetite this time? There is a limit to his greed.” Stella’s heart shook, and she clenchedher trembling fingers. The diamond bracelet on her hand was gifted to her by Keegan on her birthdayfor the first year of their marriage. No, it would be more accurate to say that she had demanded it fromKeegan. Every Valentine’s day, wedding anniversary, her birthday, and other special occasions, Stellawould use coquetry means to ask Keegan for presents, hoping that that time, it would make himremember those particular dates. Those times to her were sweet memories. Unfortunately, he saw thatas her insatiable greed. Stella lowered her head, trying to hide her emotions. Her face was pale. WhenKeegan tried to take a closer look, she raised her eyes. Currently, there were only broken shards of icein those eyes. She then lowered her head again to take off a bracelet. “When we divorce, you won’tneed to be bothered by this again. Your collaboration with the Jewell family has nothing to do with me,”she said casually. The bracelet slipped into Keegan’s suit pocket as those words came out. At thatmoment, a Uber stopped before Stella. After taking two steps, she stopped and turned around. Sheglanced at Keegan and suddenly chuckled. “Why did I still have hope for you?” After saying that in self-mockery, she turned around and got in the car. Keegan stared in the direction of the car that had left.His eyes seemed like they were spitting fire. “Stella wants to divorce you?” The nosy voice of Vermontcame from behind. Keegan shot him a cold glance. “Isn’t it obvious that it’s just a small argumentbetween a husband and wife? Watch your mouth!”
