Chapter 182
Keegan obviously did not want to let Cordelia know that he was attacked, mainly because he was afraid
that she would be worried. “Are you eating well, dear?” the old lady furrowed her brows. “You’ve become
skinnier since the last time I saw you. Has everything been alright these past two days?”
“Yes, grandma. I’m feeling much better now. I’ll be able to return to the company in a few days.”
“There’s no rush. Your health is much more important.” Cordelia looked at the cup of coffee in Keegan’s
hand and frowned. “Why are you still drinking coffee with an upset tummy?” she
asked.
Keegan immediately dumped the blame on Stella. “It’s hers,” he said.
“Stella, you can’t be drinking coffee either. It’ll affect your sleep” Stella bit the bullet and said, “Okay,
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtgrandma. I’ll stop drinking coffee” The old lady was satisfied with her answer.
Seeing a pile of clothes on the couch, she asked, “Are you going out?” Stella did not know what to say. If
she said that she was going to a jewelry exhibition, knowing that Cordelta’s precious grandson Keegan
was “ill”, Cordelia would definitely be unhappy
She was still trying to find an excuse when Keegan said, “She’s too noisy. There happens to be a jewelry
exhibition tonight, so I asked her to go because I wanted some peace and quiet”
“Is it the one trene is organizing?” Cordelia wondered Irene Moore, the organizer of the jewelry
exhibition, was also Marshall’s aunt Keegan nodded. The old lady smiled and said, Good. We’ll go
together.”
“You’re going too?” Keegan asked as he was startled. “Irene told me that she had a fine piece of jade.
She even invited the Venerable Raphael Morghen from the Temple of Abawo to bless the stone. So, I’m
going to have a look.”
Cordelia was a very superstitious woman and liked jades a lot. She had a good relationship with the
Venerable Raphael Morghen and even donated to renovate the temple. When Stella and Keegan got
married, Cordelia went to the temple to look at their horoscopes; they were a match made in heaven.
Stella had always felt that the Venerable Raphael Morghen was a bit of a charlatan, but to each their
own. ‘There’s no need to make her unhappy,’ she thought.
Keegan frowned and said, “Marshall didn’t mention anything about a jade. He only mentioned something
about a Luminous Pearl.”
“I’m not sure. Maybe one of Irene’s friends brought it. I’ll just have to go and see.”
“I’ll go too,” Keegan pursed his lips and said.
The old lady glanced at him and replied, “If you think Stella is noisy, wouldn’t it be noisier with so many
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmpeople there?”
Keegan’s expression remained the same. “I’ll get used to it,” he said. “I can’t possibly just throw her out,
can I?”
The corners of Stella’s lips twitched when she heard that. ‘Asshole!’ she thought.
Marshall’s grandfather had four children-the first three being sons, and the last, a daughter. He loved his
youngest very much. Irene was an intelligent child; she graduated from a prestigious college and had a
successful career. She was even born into a wealthy family. Every aspect of her life was perfect, except
for her marriage.
Irene divorced her ex-husband only after a few years of marriage and had a daughter. Although she was
still with her current partner, she never got remarried. Her current partner was more than ten years
younger than her. They met two years ago. Many opposed their relationship, but they finally got their
marriage certificate this year.
They had yet to hold a wedding, perhaps because they had not discussed it with the family.
