"Oh, | see..." Keegan pondered, a realization dawning on him. "| always assumed the person who set the password was sendingme a message.”
Stella kept quiet, her mind racing. She vividly remembered the curious glance Keegan had given her when she set the password.She thought, 'Did he always interpret it that way? No wonder he seemed restless that night, mumbling about being morestraightforward in the future.’
Understanding dawned on Stella, and her expression shifted through various emotions before settling into a stiff expression. Sheremarked, "You really do have a wild imagination.”
Keegan noticed her embarrassment, a flicker of pleasure in his eyes. But soon, reflecting on her evasive behavior, his smilewaned. He wondered, 'One moment she's
affectionate, the next, she's secretive with a phone call. Who was she talking to that made her feel so guilty?"
As he glanced at her phone, Stella quickly tucked it into her bag. Disappointed, Keegan thought, ‘Fine. I'll find out who's trying topull her away from me."
After dropping Stella off at Royalpark Villa, Keegan departed, suspecting Dahlia might not confess easily and her backup mightalready be on their way to meet her. He knew he had to look into it personally.
As soon as Keegan left, Stella rushed to her bedroom and dialed into the group voice call. The trio connected promptly."Why did you hang up on my calls?" Vermont asked, disbelief in his voice.
Stella explained apologetically, "Sorry, sorry. Keegan was right there. | couldn't risk it."
Vermont sounded puzzled. "But we were just chatting. Why act like you're in the midst of an affair?"
Stella was uneasy. Even liking a video of a male internet celebrity would make Keegan paranoid. He could imagine her beingunfaithful countless times and her guilty behavior would only fuel his suspicions.
"I'm sharing some insider information, don't get me in trouble!" Vermont warned.
"Don't worry,” Stella assured. "What we discuss stays between us. My lips are sealed."
Felicity chimed in urgently, "Hurry up and share. Keegan might return at any moment."
Vermont felt awkward as if they were indeed embroiled in an affair, with his girlfriend keeping the lookout.
Resigned, he began, "I know only a little about Marshall's first love. They met during his senior year.
"She wasn't from the same university but worked part-time at a coffee shop near Trinity University. Marshall frequented thatcoffee shop for his writing, and that's how they got
acquainted.
“After his graduate exams, he introduced her to us.
“Her name's Willow Jenning, a year older than Marshall. She wasn't satisfied with her job after half a year, so she decided to tryfor a postgraduate degree at Trinity University.
"She rented a place nearby and worked part-time to support herself while preparing for the exams.novelbin
“Willow wasn't strikingly beautiful, but she was lively and had a great personality. Coming from an average family, her confidenceand interesting conversation stood out.
Marshall, when with her, only had eyes for her.
"We were happy for him. Unlike Keegan, who pursued his interests and excelled, Marshall faced familial pressure, hisachievements overshadowed by a lack of personal happiness."
