Chapter 1742
Stella lifted her gaze, pursed her lips, and said, "I see. I guess I misunderstood Jaylene. I've always been a sensitive
person. I thought Jaylene only said those things because she doesn't like me as her sister and doesn't want me to
be a part of this family."
Jaylene was taken aback as she had not expected Stella to say things like that. Then, she immediately tried to deny
it, "I didn't mean that at all. Stella, why would you think that way?"
Marshall said to Stella, "You're not sensitive. Anyone would think the same way." Then, he shifted his gaze to
Jaylene," Stella has been separated from her family for over twenty years and has endured so many hardships.
Now that she finally got the opportunity to come back, her father has formed a new family with someone else. She
already doesn’t have much sense of security in this family. And as her elder sister, you would greet her like a guest

Stella was taken aback.
She had always thought that Marshall was the kind of gentle and soft-spoken person who would not have the guts
to say or do anything outside the courtroom. But at this moment, she realized that she had underestimated the
eloquence of a lawyer.
He never lost a battle in the courtroom, so there was no way that he would allow someone else to outargue him in
daily life.
He could easily win over anyone in an argument if he would just speak.
Clearly, Jaylene was not his match at all.
As expected, Jaylene's expression turned extremely ugly and fearful upon hearing what Marshall said.
"Marshall, how could you accuse me of such a thing? I really didn't mean it," she nervously said as she looked at
Keegan to seek his help. ' Keegan, trust me. I really treat Stella as my sister."
Stella looked at Keegan. She was really curious to see how he was going to defend Jaylene.
But Keegan seemed very uncomfortable as he rubbed his temples and said, "Sorry, I wasn't listening. What were
you arguing about?"
Stella was shocked.
Jaylene immediately stopped arguing with them and sat beside Keegan, her face filled with concern as she asked,"
Keegan, are you okay?"
Keegan furrowed his brows and said in a low voice, ”1 don't know. I have been having terrible headaches recently.
Sometimes, I find it hard to concentrate, like just now."
"Did you bring the medicine that Dr. Stone gave you?"
Keegan nodded, took out a small medicine bottle from his pocket, and shook out a pill from it.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmJaylene quickly handed him a cup of water. After Keegan took the pill, he closed his eyes and lay back on the sofa.
Then, the look on his face eased up.
As Stella saw what happened, she asked, "What kind of medicine did you give him?"
Stella had thought Keegan was pretending to have a headache because he was worried that helping her would
anger Jaylene, so he deliberately avoided that question.
However, she could not help but question her own speculation upon looking at Keegan's pale complexion.
She figured that Keegan could not possibly be acting, judging from the look on his face. He looked so pale and weak
that even a professional actor might not be able to do that.
So, she could not help but express her concern for Keegan.
Jaylene answered, "It was prescribed by Keegan's attending doctor, which can help him recover his memory. I don't
know the name of this medicine, but it works well for Keegan. His headache will go away immediately after he takes
it." ’
