She asked Keegan to leave a comment too, hoping to calm Trevor down a bit. But when Keegan couldn't find Trevor's social media post, a red exclamation mark popped up as he tried to message him, indicating that Trevor had blocked him.Stella reassured him, "It's okay. Next time we argue, he'll have to unblock you and scold you."Keegan was speechless.She was bad at comforting people. It was better if she did not do it again.After the commotion, Keegan became serious. "Don't use that trick again to fool people. Did you see how pale Trevor's face turned? He was genuinely scared."Stella chuckled, "Your face seemed even paler than his though?"Keegan replied softly, "I was scared too. Grandma said we should avoid taboo topics; some things shouldn't be said casually."His expression was very serious. He used to not believe in these things, but it seemed that both of them had become superstitious and timid ever since Stella got pregnant.Stella held his hand, gently rubbing it agai

Stella whispered, "I was worried you're still upset with me."Handing Trevor the breakfast, she asked, "Where’s Dad?""Dad went to rest. He left around four. He should be here soon.""You've been here all night?"Trevor opened the bag, taking a bite, "Gotta keep up appearances."With over twenty years of being family, being too nonchalant could easily raise Darcie's suspicions.Stella glanced at the dark circles under his eyes, feeling a pang of sympathy, "There's a restaurant downstairs, grab a seat there and eat. I'll get you a bowl of soup."Trevor waved it off. "I drank enough water last night."Stella was speechless.That sarcastic streak seemed to be a family trait.Seeing it in Trevor made Stella realize how stubborn she used to be.She couldn't help but laugh, "Trevor, did you scare off all your ex-girlfriends with that sarcasm?"Trevor nodded. "Yep, those with thick skins like Keegan are rare."Stella was rendered speechless once more.In the end, Trevor did join

"She's rushing to earn money to regain custody of her son, so I'm still hesitant to transfer her. She's quite capable at work, but I figured since it's challenging for her to balance work and taking care of her child, it might be better to have her get close to Dillon."Dillon hasn't been back long. Besides donating some money to the welfare home and occasionally wandering around Rivera, she hasn't done much else, suggesting she just wants to make amends for her past mistakes. However, she doesn't intend to admit to what happened back then. I just had a thought."Stella raised her eyes, "Trevor, do you think the fire that Dillon and the others encountered back then was accidental or deliberate?"Trevor countered, "Do you think it was deliberate too?"Stella said, "It just strikes me as odd. Back then, there were four people, including the anesthetist. Two died, one fled abroad and can't return, and one nearly died. In the end, she survived under her fiancé's name. Don't you find th

"It's not too late for you to go to the police and explain the situation. Even without an IOU, you've got transfer records. You and Dahlia aren't family, so this money can't be seen as a gift. If you sue Dahlia, and considering she has shares in the Crosby's company, when they sort out the assets, you can definitely get back your twenty million."Jaylene pushed her hand away, her tone icy, "So this is your real motive for visiting me, right? You want me to sue Dahlia, make Keegan turn against me, so you can reconcile with him? Now I see why you steered me toward Dahlia; you had this plan all along!"Stella was ready. When Jaylene pushed her, she tightened her grip on the orange to keep it from falling.She looked up at Jaylene with a smile, clicked her tongue, and said softly, "So you've figured it out, huh? But it doesn't matter. Even if you don't sue, with you injured like this, your mom won't just let it slide, will she?"Jaylene's expression shifted.Stella arched her eyebrows

Stella retorted, "Just cut Keegan some slack. You're not just his uncle; you're also his good friend. After you punched him last night, Keegan was upset all night and couldn't sleep. The next day, he went to work with two black eyes."As for dealing with Dad, she had other tricks up her sleeve.Trevor wasn't entirely convinced. "Do I really have that much influence on him?""Of course! You've grown up together. If you don't trust him, imagine how he feels." Trevor fell silent for a moment. Just when Stella thought she had him, Trevor smirked and said, "Let him suffer then. If he thinks he can fool me, he needs a few more years of practice."Stella was rendered speechless.No wonder Keegan always called his brother a fox; his schemes were deep!With just one phone call from Darcie, Jaylene decided she didn't want to pursue the issue with Dahlia any longer. It was easy to imagine how angry Darcie must be. The mother and daughter started arguing in the ward.Darcie's face turned gr
