Chapter 1186
Stella glanced at the young man named Ethan, thinking it was impossible that he was Spencer's cousin. 'He looks
rather average. His eyes are small, and his forehead is huge. He's not really short, but his proportions are not that
great, either. Moreover, he slouches when he stands, which makes him look even more unattractive,' she thought.
Perhaps sensing Stella's gaze, Ethan looked over at her. She immediately averted her eyes.
Albert was so eager to introduce Ethan to Keegan that it seemed like he genuinely liked the man. Keegan shook
Ethan's hand nonchalantly and kept his eyes on Stella.
Seeing this, Albert became even more convinced that Keegan still had feelings for her. 'I must find a way to get
them back together. That way, I can continue funding my business.1
With that in mind, he turned around and whispered to Stella, "I will publicly announce the adoption after the
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtwedding ceremony. The Jewell family will always have your back from then on, Stella."
Stella looked down and said, "I think you should discuss this with Hylda. It's her big day. An announcement like that
would ruin the occasion."
'Hylda would never agree to this. She's so short-sighted; she never sees the bigger picture,' thought Albert. "Yeah,
okay. Sure," he said to Stella. After that, he turned around and told Sophia to entertain the guests while he checked
up on Hylda.
' Alright, Dad," Sophia replied as Albert left the scene.
Sophia noticed that Keegan was still looking at Stella and could not help but feel irritated. She had mixed feelings
about him; she admired, feared, and liked him all at once. At the same time, Sophia held a grudge against Keegan
for dismissing her at the press conference. Although she had no proof as to who caused the incident, she believed
that Stella was behind it.
Sophia was overjoyed when she heard that Keegan and Stella got divorced, but... 'What the hell is going on? Why
are Keegan's eyes glued to that bitch?' she thought as she stepped forward between Stella and Keegan.
"Mr. Kane, there are freshly grilled steaks over there. Allow me to take you to grab some." Sophia tried to take
Keegan's arm, but he avoided her touch and coldly replied, "I'm not hungry.'
His action left her dumbfounded.
Vermont glanced at Sophia and then at her boyfriend, Ethan. He noticed Ethan's eyes darting toward Stella from
time to time. 'Interesting...' He approached the couple and said, 'Ms. Jewell, Mr. Shaw. I haven't eaten much today.
How about you take me to the steaks?"
Sophia did not have a good impression of Vermont because he always seemed like he was plotting something,
making her uncomfortable. However, Sophia had no choice but to reluctantly agree to his suggestion.
Felicity could hear Vermont chatting up a storm as the three of them walked away. "So, how did you two meet?" he
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmasked.
Felicity was furious. "Can't that Stinky Cucumber get his own steaks? Why did he have to ask that annoying ass girl
to take him to the grill station? Also, her boyfriend looks hideous. I can't imagine why she would date him, let alone
kiss him."
"Because he's wealthy, of course," Stella replied.
Keegan's eyelids twitched when he heard that. "Money can buy kisses?" he asked.
Stella paused and quickly clarified, 'That only applies to Sophia. I prioritize looks." She then teased Keegan, saying,
"I would kiss any guy who had your looks, though."
Keegan felt slightly comforted by her calling him handsome. But he was also a little weirded out by the thought of
Stella kissing every man who looked like him. He was about to say something when he heard Felicity say, "So does
that mean you kissed Spencer Graham?"
Stella was at a loss for words, while Keegan was confused. He slowly turned his head to look at Felicity and asked,
"What did you just say?"
