It was not until Keegan took the watering can from Stella's hand that she regained her senses.
"I'm back," Keegan said.
He sat down next to her and asked in a low voice, "Is everything okay?"
Stella said, "Keegan, have you been to The Hox Club?"
Keegan's expression remained calm. "Do you want to know if | have anything to do with Luanna’s death?"
Stella frowned. "Of course, | know it has nothing to do with you. | just want to know what you were doing there at that time. Behonest and tell me everything. We've got to plan our next step very carefully."
Stella finally figured everything out after listening to Keegan. He had mentioned before that Luanna looked familiar, probablybecause he had seen her once in the club.novelbin
However, it was perfectly normal that he could not remember her immediately as it was just a passing encounter. What Stellawas worried about now was that Luanna's case might involve him.
The photo was like a time bomb. Even if he had nothing to do with it, there would still be a chance of him being implicated.
Keegan looked at her worried expression and chuckled. Then, he took her hand and asked softly, "Is this the only thing you'vebeen worried about all afternoon?"
Stella pulled her hand back and glared at him. "Stop fooling around! This is very serious. If it is true that Luanna was lured intoconsuming drugs at that party, can you, as someone who attended the party, stay clear of it?
"If this matter gets publicized, no one's going to think that you're innocent even if you had done nothing to her!"
Keegan had come so far to finally be powerful enough in the company to keep Chandler in check. If this matter got out, Chandlerwould surely use it against him. How could she not be worried?
Keegan asked again, "What exactly did Marshall show you?"
"A photo of you and Luanna in a private room at The Hox Club. Marshall told me that was when she got exposed to drugs. Doyou understand how serious this can get now? What were you doing in that club?"
Keegan gently patted her shoulder and reassured her, "It was a meeting with a client. | only found out that it was a shadygathering when | got there and left shortly after. But | can confirm that Luanna did not take any drugs there."
Stella paused. "What?"
Keegan recalled what happened that night and said slowly, "When you showed me Luanna’s photo, | felt she was familiar, notbecause | saw her at the party. The lights were dim in the private room. | wasn't wearing glasses, so | couldn't really seeanyone's faces in there.
“However, something happened that day. There was a person who fell off the building and died. | was summoned the next day to
give a statement and underwent a urine test.
"| met Luanna at the police station. She was terrified and crying the whole time, so she caught my attention. Everyone at the clubthat night was taken in for urine tests. | only found out later that the person who died had overdosed, hallucinated, and fell totheir death. The police suspected someone was selling drugs in The Hox Club.
"If your classmate took drugs that time, she wouldn't have passed that urine test."Stella frowned. "Did Marshall not know this?"
“He couldn't have found out," Keegan continued flatly. "The Hox Club is only visited by wealthy individuals from influentialfamilies and celebrities. That was also the first time Ricky got exposed for taking drugs.
“His family did everything in their power to keep it down. No one would want to go against the Adam family. It was not a noblething to begin with, so nobody really talked about it.”
He rubbed Stella's hair as he added, "There's no need to worry about me. If this really gets out, the police will still have my testrecords from back then. I'll be fine."
Stella finally felt relieved. After a while, she asked again, "Don’t you find this whole thing strange? How did Lina coincidentallyfind Marshall for help, and she coincidentally happens to have a group photo with you in it?"
Keegan lowered his gaze and said, "I'm more inclined to believe that someone intentionally showed Marshall that photo, which iswhy he took on this case.”
