Chapter 79
Chapter 79Keegan did not seem to notice her anger, as he nonchalantly said, “You're not suited for it.”
The half-hearted answer made Stella chuckle. “It’s made to my measurements, yet it’s still not suitable? Keegan, if you want tolie to me, at least come up with a better excuse.”
Keegan furrowed his brows. It was a sign that he was getting frustrated. However, he still suppressed his rage and patiently saidin a serious tone, “You can choose any of the best gown’s in the store, but not this piece”
He felt that he had already made the biggest compromise, yet Stella looked like she wanted to pick a fight with him.“What if | insist on having this gown?” Stella said.Keegan finally lost his patience and coldly said, “I already said that you can’t have this dress!”
Stella pursed her lips tightly Aurora felt smug deep down and said, “Stella, although the dress was custom -made to yourmeasurements, this is my brother’s money we’re spending. He can give it to whoever he wants.”
Stella looked at Keegan, and he showed no sign of stopping Aurora. Stella’s heart almost sank fully. Aurora saw that, and her
words grew more outrageous. “If you’re not satisfied, use your Jewell family money to buy it. Your adopted sister is still lookingeverywhere to find ways to earn money while you don’t do anything all day. You merely spend the money of our family and be
pampered. | truly don’t know why grandma agreed to let you into our home?”
“Keep your mouth shut! It might have been due to the situation consisting of a crowd and saying those words was undignifiedand demeaning, as Keegan had finally called out to stop Aurora.
Then, he said to the manager, “Bring her to finish her makeup.”The manager quickly arranged for two assistants to help.
Aurora pouted her lips but did not dare to go against Keegan. Before she left, she glanced at Stella. Her eyes were filled withsmugness, and Stella’s expression was tranquil.novelbin
The sharp tongue she had previously seemed to have disappeared after Aurora said those insulting words. She was not goinghead-to-head with him like before. He was supposed to feel glad since he had been having headaches due to her sharp tonguethese days.
Yet, when he saw her in that state, he felt discomfort in his heart. Keegan paused, then he opened his mouth to speak. His tonewas stiff from inexperience. “You can pick another gown, no matter how expensive it is.”
Stella’s gaze was filled with a tinge of mockery when she looked at him. “In the past, it was a cake. Now. it’s the dress. Whatabout next time? Would you dig out my heart and give it to her if she asked for it someday?”
Keegan felt his heart constrict, and he scolded, “What nonsense are you saying!”
“Oh.” Stella shrugged, “You might not dig it out directly, right? Why would you break the law yourself? You merely need to createan accident. If she wants something from my body, isn’t it possible for you with just a wave of your finger?”
“Stella, that’s enough from you!” Keegan could not suppress his fury anymore. “It’s just a piece of clothing | said you are free topick anything else. Is there a need to insist on not letting this piece go?”
“| shouldn’t be hanging on to it. It was bought with the money of the Kane family. What right do | have to win it? Stella’s eyeswere downcast, and her tone was soft. “What | liked and wanted was never important deep in your heart.”
Keegan was so angry at her that he lashed out, “It’s great that you know now!”
Stella’s breathing stopped, and her heart clenched. Then, a dense pain started to come from her heart. Keegan did not want toargue with her anymore. He was afraid that if they continued their argument, he could not resist losing his temper
He left the manager with a few words. “Help her choose some clothes.” Then, he turned around and left.
The manager felt awkward. This was a couple’s quarrel, and he was stuck in the middle, unsure whether he needed to mediate.After all, Keegan was a major client of the store. What if they caused more trouble and offended someone? That would not beworth their while.
“Mrs. Kane, | still have many gowns in the store. | can show you around,” the manager offered.
Stella had pulled herself out from the emotions before, and her expression had returned to normal. She casually said, “You don’tneed to. Help me choose a suit instead.”
The manager paused. “A suit?”
