Keegan quickly followed, but he was still one step behind as Stella had already gone up the elevator. Keegan ran up the stairsand knocked on the door for a long time, but Stella did not answer.
Vermont watched from the side and said, "Give it up. Women hate it when people mention their weight. She needs to take anight to calm her anger."
Keegan glared at him and said snappily, "Why do you have the nerve to speak?"
Vermont shrugged. "I went easy on you. What about the times when you showed off the love-packed lunch boxes your wifeprepared for you or the new clothes she bought for you? You're finally a bachelor like me. It'll feel unfair if you get her back tooquickly."
Keegan's expression was dark. ‘What kind of shit have | been friends with?"
Stella took a shower and changed out of her wet clothes after getting back to her apartment. When she finished her shower, shepeeked into Felicity's room and saw her sleeping. She then contacted the staff at The Emperor to collect the cutlery tomorrowsince the rain was too heavy. But after calling for a while, no one answered the phone. So she messaged them.
The doorbell rang when she was drying her hair, ready to sleep. Stella thought it was the staff who wanted to collect the cutlery,so she went out to answer the door.
Her expression was frozen when she opened the door and found Dahlia outside. Dahlia was not alone. There was a middle-agedman who looked like her, standing beside her. It was Dahlia's brother and Keegan's uncle, Blake. Dahlia looked a little pale butwas still dressed decently. The rain was pouring outside, but there was not a single drop of rain on her body. Even her hairdowas untouched.
Stella stared at them for a moment and raised her hand to shut the door. Dahlia seemed to predict her actions as sheimmediately pushed the door open. Stella staggered backward after being knocked back by the door.
She had a cold expression and asked, "What are you doing?"
Dahlia's eyes wandered around the luxurious decor of the house and raised the corners of her mouth. "Keegan bought the housefor you, right? Well, he's rather generous to you."
Ever since Keegan started limiting her access to take money from the company, Dahlia could not make ends meet. She used toattend gatherings with the other wives. Her accessories and clothes were all from the latest season. With the Kane family'sreputation, she was always the most influential person among the ladies. However, her monthly income now was not enough forher to live her former lavish lifestyle. Therefore, she rarely went for teatime with the other wives.
Dahlia was envious because while she was strapped for cash, this divorcee was living in a luxurious mansion. Stella wanted to
reply that this house had nothing to do with Dahlia's son. However, looking at Dahlia's unsatisfied expression, Stella felt spitefuland retorted, "Generous? Well, not really. This house was quite cheap. It's not even as expensive as the necklace he gave me.”4novelbin
Dahlia was at a loss for words. Her chest heaved violently and she had a dark expression as if she was about to vomit blood thenext second. Just as Stella thought Dahlia was about to pester and say something like "Get out from my son's house", Dahliatook a deep breath and said, "Since Keegan gave this house to you, let it be considered as a little compensation from the Kanefamily."
Stella was confused. 'Did Dahlia wake up on the wrong side of the bed today?’
There was nothing wrong with Dahlia because her focus was on what she said next. "I heard you're in the same productiongroup with the actor,
Leighton. Tell him we can satisfy any compensation he wants if he drops the case. This situation started because of you. Youwere once a sister-in- law to Aurora. If you help to get her out, | won't make a fuss about Keegan giving you a house."
Stella could not help but laugh out of irritation at Dahlia's shamelessness." Mrs. Kane, do you hear the nonsense you're saying?"
