Chapter 198
The day Zane drowned was the day Carter got married
Stella and Keegan attended the wedding, but they did not see Zane.
The wedding took place by the beach, so the location was far from the city center. The Lowes booked
many rooms at the beach resort for their guests to stay in.
However, not long after the ceremony, they received a call informing them that Cordelia had tripped and
fallen. They did not spend the night at the resort and hurried back home.
Meanwhile, Zane drowned on the night they left.
There were a lot of rumors surrounding the truth of Zane’s death, but the Lowes never explained what
happened that night. They just stated that it was an accident.
Even the guests that spent the night in the hotel that night had no idea what went down. When they knew
that something had happened, Zane was already in an ambulance to the hospital and was announced
dead not long after.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThe wedding became a funeral for the death of a young man.
One could only guess how the Lowes felt that day.
Zane’s funeral was low-profile, and there were very few reports of the incident in the media
too.
Everyone in Rivera thought that karma had gotten to Zane, but Stella had always thought that it was a
pity that he died young.
On her wedding day, although Zane appeared to be drunk, Stella did not smell the scent of alcohol when
he passed by her.
Stella believed that Zane was not a drunken troublemaker. She believed that he was pretending to be
drunk as an excuse to help her out.
But, since Zane had passed away, there was no way for Stella to find out the truth. But even so, she
would always be thankful to him. Looking at Carter’s features, which looked exactly like Zane’s, she was
quick to take an instant liking to him.
“So, that’s what happened. If it wasn’t for Zane back then, I would’ve been sent to the hospital on our
wedding night.” Stella narrated calmly, “I didn’t have the chance to repay him for his kindness when he
was alive. Now that Carter needs my help, it’s only fair that I lend him a hand for Zane’s sake.”
Keegan stared at Stella with a complicated expression. After a while, he asked, “Why haven’t you told
me about this before?”
Stella forced a smile and raised her gaze to look at him. “Keegan, when you left me alone at our
wedding, did you not think of what would happen?”
Keegan sealed his lips and gulped. After a moment of silence, he said, “I was busy with urgent matters
that day.”
Stella dropped her gaze. “You’re always busy with something.”
‘It doesn’t matter if it was the time we got married, or when my mother was sick, or when I was at the
hospital in need of a family member’s signature…
‘As long as Bella gives him a call, I will always be the forgotten one.’ Time after time, Stella grew tired of
saying anything about it.

Keegan’s lips were shut tight, and he stayed silent for a long while.
Although Stella meant to mislead Keegan with this story to cover up her real reasons, telling the story
again was just adding salt to her wound. She was also upset about it.
“Anyway, I already promised to help them out. If you think I’m bringing shame onto the Kane family
name, we should get the divorce done quickly. If your family asks you about it later on, I’m not one of the
Kanes anymore. You won’t be involved in this.”
Keegan’s expression darkened, and he shot her a side-eye. “Do whatever you want. It won’t be the first
time you humiliate me anyway.”
Stella was just about to return the banter when the lights dimmed down. The exhibition went dark, with
only a few lamps here and there illuminating the place.
