Stella wiped off the smile on her face and looked toward the sound. Bella wore a blue rhinestone dress and was walking in herdirection. Her appearance was bejeweled, and her makeup was glamorous. Both her expression and posture were composed.As one of the most famous actresses of today, she truly deserved the stature of a celebrity.
Usually, the ladies‘ would, at most, have mere acquaintances with these young actresses. They would not care too much as itwas frequent to see celebrities during these events. But, the way she called Keegan’s name was too intimate, so they could nothelp but probe. The rumors about Keegan and the famous actress Bella were widely spread. However, there was no news aboutit soon after, so everyone thought that it was just a publicity stunt.

The nature of humans was to gossip, and it was the same for all social circles. The crowd was secretly paying attention toKeegan and Stella’s reactions. Surprisingly, they reacted coldly. Stella paused a slight moment when she heard Bella callingKeegan’s name. She then proceeded to sip the juice in her hand as if the person who came was insignificant. While Keegan waseven more indifferent, he did not pay any attention and only glanced at Bella.
Stella sneered in her heart, ‘This shit does know how to pretend.’Bella felt slightly awkward, but she soon returned to her natural self. “Mr. and Mrs. Kane, what a coincidence.”Stella nodded faintly in response. Due to the crowd present, Keegan casually asked, “Why are you here?”
Stella scorned his action. ‘Didn’t he hurriedly run away after picking up his ‘babe’s‘ phone call? Why should he pretend to beinnocent here?*
Bella had a dazzling smile, and her voice was gentle and soft. “I’m the celebrity guest for today’s charity performance.”
The event did have some celebrities come over for a charity performance, but it was usually a temporary secondment found bythe host’s company. They were not famous; some were even students who had not graduated from art school, mainly comingover to light up the scene. That was because the people attending the event were of special status. The host would never takethe initiative to invite Bella to perform in the charity performance since celebrities might attract the paparazzi. Therefore, it wasunclear how she got in there.
Keegan did not reply to her. He seemed to pay no attention to her as several young men came over to toast with him. Bellaflicked a glance at Stella and handed her a cocktail, “Mrs. Kane, try this drink. It’s really good.”
Stella looked up and rejected. “No thanks, | don’t drink.”
This was nonsense since Stella loved to drink sweet wine such as cocktails, wine, and cider, even though she could not handleliquor too well. On the contrary, Keegan, who often socialized, did not like to drink much.
“You don’t drink?” Bella froze and probed, “Are you pregnant?”
Stella stiffened, and her words hit Stella close to home. The wife was not pregnant, but the
mistress was running amok with her big belly. ‘Why do I have to come across this disgusting matter? Is she here on purpose tomake me sick?’
