Chapter 1287
Keegan was worried about being photographed. So, he had Aldor pick out a discreet Yostrainian restaurant with
good music. The restaurant was located on the top floor of the Empyrean Luxe, the tallest building in Rivera. It was
a rotating restaurant that allowed diners to enjoy a panoramic view of the Cobalt River.
When Keegan and Stella rode the elevator, a kid accidentally stained Keegan's shirt with their ice cream cone. Once
they reached the top floor, he told Stella she could wait for him at the restaurant. Meanwhile, Keegan headed to
the restroom to clean himself up.
Stella grabbed Keegan's phone and made her way to the restaurant. While the staff was checking her reservation,
a familiar voice sounded behind her. "Let me scan the PayPal QR code real quick."
Startled, Stella put on her hoodie.
"We have received your payment, sir. Thank you for dining with us, and have a good day."

With a warm tone, the staff said, "You may go left after exiting, and the restroom is straight ahead."
"Great. Thanks."
Stella only glanced back once she no longer heard the voice. To her surprise, Spencer was standing right behind
her. He was leaning slightly forward and had his eyes fixed on her. Stella was shocked. She nearly bumped into him
when she turned around. She pushed him away and exclaimed, "Are you out of your mind? Back off!"
Seemingly amused, Spencer smirked and said, "Why were you trying to avoid me, huh?"
Stella's face remained expressionless. "I wasn't avoiding you. Don't flatter yourself."
"Then, what's with the hood?"
"Can’t I put up my hood because I'm cold?" Stella replied.
Spencer laughed at her response. He then grabbed her wrist and pulled her away.
"What are you doing? Let go!" Stella resisted.
Spencer gave her an icy look and said, "Say another word, and I'll rip your mask off for everyone to see your face."
Stella immediately shut her mouth.
"I'd like to see you try," Keegan's cold voice interjected unexpectedly.
Hearing that, Spencer was taken aback. Meanwhile, Stella took the chance to break free from his grasp and rushed
to Keegan's side. She wrapped her arms around his and glared at Spencer.
Spencer did not say a thing.
Keegan was very pleased with Stella's action. 'Excellent. She knows exactly where her loyalty lies,' he thought.
After that, he stared at Spencer with an expressionless face and said, "Apologize."
Spence's expression turned cold. He pursed his lips and retorted, "Apologize? For what? For having a chat with my
ex -girlfriend? Don't you think you're overreacting, Mr. Kane?"
His words left Stella stunned.
'This asshole is literally trying to add fuel to the fire! I knew he was still petty about the breakup. He acted

Spencer could not hold himself back now that they were not in a formal setting.
As expected, Keegan's brows twitched involuntarily at the mention of the word "Ex-girlfriend". He leered at Spencer
and said, "I can't believe you threatened to reveal her identity just because she didn't follow your wishes. Where are
your manners? Is this how the Grahams raised you?"
Spencer chuckled and said, "I don't think how my family raised me has anything to do with you, Mr. Kane."
Keegan did not waste his time. He retrieved his phone from Stella and dialed Penn's number. Then, Penn's voice
sounded from the other end of the line. "Keegan, my boy, to what do I owe the pleasure of this call?"
Keegan glanced at the tense-looking man in front of him and casually said, "Mr. Graham, my sweet friend here is
currently being a pest toward my partner. It's quite the predicament, I must say. Shouldn't he have already
outgrown this phase at his age?"
Spencer was puzzled by Keegan's words while Stella was amused. Damn, that's brutal,' she thought. Keegan was
able to humble her ex-boyfriend in a single sentence. Stella could feel how much Keegan loved her.
Penn froze momentarily before cautiously asking, 'Are you talking about Spencer?"
