Chapter 1164
Trevor and Keegan were the same age, yet Trevor referred to him as "that brat." It was clear that he held a strong dislike forKeegan.
Initially, Stella believed that Trevor's animosity toward Keegan stemmed from Keegan setting him up on blind dates. However,she now suspected that it had more to do with her divorce with Keegan. Stella stumbled over her words for a moment beforefinally admitting, "Well... we are dating, at least for now."
Trevor's disapproval was evident from his expression, his face reflecting his thoughts: 'I knew it!’
He hadn't forgotten what Keegan had done before and after Rainee's funeral. He never expected that his sister would forgiveKeegan so easily.
But now, Stella had just acknowledged Trevor as her brother. He felt caught in a dilemma. If he scolded her, it would make himappear too controlling; yet, if he chose not to say anything, it would be letting Keegan off the hook too easily.
Trevor took a moment to gather his emotions before speaking. "Stella, at this point in your career, your focus should be on work.Don't rush into relationships."
"I'm not rushing, just trying things out with him," Stella replied.
"You might not be in a rush, but he is. How old is he? Do you think it's easy for him to deceive another young and beautifulwoman like you? He's likely targeting his former victim," Trevor argued.
Stella was speechless.
"You're not the same person you were when you were part of the Jewell family. Back then, you were forced into marrying him.But now, you're free. Our family doesn't pressure you to get married and have children. You have plenty of opportunities to meetother men. Once you've dated a few, you'll realize that Keegan isn't that special," Trevor continued.
"He's average-looking. His income barely passes the mark. Sure, he's tall. But the key is that he has so many shitty things goingon in his life, with a troublemaking mother and sister. He should consider himself lucky if any woman agrees to marry him,"Trevor added.
Stella finally realized that where she got her sharp tongue from. Even if she teamed up with Keegan, she couldn't win againstTrevor when he got confrontational.
Listening to her brother's remarks, Stella couldn't help but clear her throat and speak up for Keegan. "Dahlia has already movedout of the Kane residence, and Keegan and | are just in the dating phase. Don't jump to conclusions."
Before Trevor could respond, Stella continued, "Just like you mentioned, Keegan should be the one worried about his age. I'mnot in a rush. Even if we were to break up after a few years, I’d still be in my prime while he would be past his glory days.Wouldn't he be the one losing out in the end?"
Trevor was at a loss for words. Stella managed to refute his comments.
Fearing that Trevor might say something more, Stella quickly added, "I have an incoming call. | need to hang up now." With that,she hang up on Trevor.
Stella was taken aback by the news of the wedding venue chosen for Albert and Hylda. The venue turned out to be DragonLagoon, which was owned by Olivia Warren.novelbin
Considering it was an upscale location, Stella found it difficult to believe that it could be booked on such short notice. Filled withcuriosity, she made up her mind to call Olivia and find out more.
Confirming Stella's suspicions, Olivia explained, "Hylda made the booking through me. October is a peak wedding season, andwhen she approached me, all the slots for this month were already taken. However, she was determined to secure a spot, so |helped her get in touch with Mrs. Fell. In the end, she paid more than triple the original price to acquire the slot from Mrs. Fell. |must say, Hylda's generosity has surpassed my previous perception of her. It's quite surprising to see a homewrecker being soextravagant.
