Chapter 1939
Stella smiled coldly. "Just because she wanted to show off, she had Keegan compete with kids in
swimming despite knowing that he couldn't swim, causing him to drown.
There's nothing that she wouldn't do."
Vermont was puzzled. "Why did you stop Keegan from calling the police, then?"
Stella said flatly, "The main act for the night hasn't started yet. Everything would be pointless without
the protagonist."
Her response caught Vermont by surprise. "What else do you plan to do?" Vermont asked.
Stella shrugged. "It's not about what I plan to do, but her unscrupulous deeds are coming back to haunt
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇther."
She sighed before she continued, "Unfortunately, I still have to pretend to be injured. I'd love to see her
reaction in real time."
Felicity said, "That's easy. I can just go there and livestream it for you."
Stella was shocked.
"Bestie, this is something I've never thought of!"
Vermont was about to say something, but when he looked up, he saw Keegan coming inside. So, he
changed his mind and urged Felicity, "Come on, let's go. The show's about to begin.’
Felicity was then dragged to the door, and when she passed by Keegan, she shook off Vermont.
"Keegan Kane, do you see your mother's true colors now? If you can't bear to do anything to her and
still want to protect her, please leave Stella. No matter how much she likes you, I'm sure that she'd still
want to live!"
Vermont quickly pulled her away. "She had too much to drink. Don't mind her."
"Shut up!" Felicity shouted while being carried away by Vermont.
Stella raised her gaze at Keegan. When he hugged her at the staircase earlier, he also got some
"blood" on him, and they looked contrastingly obvious on his white shirt. There were some faint marks
around his eyes, giving his already captivating eyes a more alluring appearance.
Stella found it somewhat attractive.
Keegan walked over and sat on the couch beside her. With his eyes lowered, he kept quiet for a long
time.

Keegan remained silent.
Stella added, "I have no proof of her drugging me back then, but I have both witnesses and physical
evidence this time. I won't back down. She may not put her child first, but I'll do everything in my power
to protect mine. If you-"
"You really didn't fall down the stairs?" Keegan spoke very softly.
Stella was taken aback and replied with a soft "Mhmm."
Keegan gently took her hand and lowered his head. Then, he pressed her palm against his forehead.
He stayed in that position for a long time without saying anything.
Stella had an indescribable feeling.
She could sense Keegan's sadness and anger. His mother was willing to harm his wife and child just
because she wanted to live a lavish lifestyle. It was something difficult for anyone to accept.
