Chapter 297
“Maybe next time.” Bella forced a smile. “I’m a little off my game today.”
Stella felt unfortunate as she said, “That’s too bad.”
Although she said that, she did not look like she meant what she said at all.
Bella knew if she stayed, she would be a laughingstock. So, she said she wanted to change her clothes.
She used that as an excuse to leave.
Stella tutted to herself, ‘I gave her a chance, but she didn’t take it. If we were to play one more song, I
would be the one crying.”
After she walked lightly back to Keegan, Vermont then came to her and complimented her, Stella, you’re
awesome. I can’t believe you can play the piano so well.”
Stella put on an act successfully. Without thinking, she bragged, “It was alright. Actually, I haven’t been
playing the piano for a long time. I’m quite rusty.”
”
“You can play the piano so fluently even when you’re rusty. Your basic skills are really good, then.”
Stella waved her hand and said, “It’s just so-so.”

“Por Una Cabeza’ is actually much easier to play compared to ‘Croatian Rhapsody”.”
“Ahem, Ahem…”
Keegan coughed softly as he glanced at Stella.
Stella got carried away with her bluff and did not get Keegan’s hint. So, she continued, “It’s just a piece of
entry-level music. Anyone who knows how to play the piano can play that song.
Vermont’s eyes sparkled. “Then, go play ‘Por una Cabeza’. I got my eyes on a lady. Play that song to
entertain me, and I’ll go find her to tango.”
Stella was then speechless.
She coughed and said, “Someone is playing the violin right now. This song sounds better when it’s
played using a violin.”
“It’s cooler if you play the song personally. Stella, whether I can get a girlfriend or not depends on you
now!”
Stella was speechless again.
‘I can’t play “Por una Cabeza”. I can barely play it while looking at the music sheet. It’s considered pretty
good if I don’t embarrass myself. How can it look cool?”
She had bluffed too much and could not take it back now. Stella looked with appeal at Keegan.
Keegan looked like he was having a good laugh. He looked as though he was asking her to continue her
bluff.
Stella did not dare to bluff anymore. She thought, ‘I can’t cover up my lies if I continue to bluff. ‘So, she
played weak and touched Keegan’s palm with her finger.
Keegan looked at her pitiful face. After that, he finally showed her mercy. “Don’t get us involved if you just
want to play around with a girl. It’s too embarrassing.”
The corners of Vermont’s mouth twitched. “I fell in love and broke up like a normal person. How is that
playing around?”
“Did any of your relationships last longer than three months?” Keegan coldly glanced at him.” If we
manage to help you get the girl, and you break up with her and then go missing after you get bored with
her, what do we do if she comes to us?”
Vermont choked. He said after a long pause, “Who doesn’t want to just get a partner and settle down?
It’s just that I haven’t met the one.”

not have any sisters? I’m not asking for much. Someone like you will do.”
Keegan was speechless.
Stella did not wait for Keegan to speak. She ruthlessly undermined Vermont. “Mr. Snyder, your number of
ex-girlfriends can form a football team. Even if I have sisters, I wouldn’t dare to introduce them to you.
Men need to have self-respect. You can’t just find an honest woman and settle down after you’re done
playing around. What did honest women do to deserve this?” Vermont was left speechless.
‘Did Keegan marry her because she has a sharp tongue like him?
‘These two assholes are perfect for each other!”
Keegan looked at the woman beside him, who pushed her luck. He pinched her waist as he beckoned
her with his eyes to tell her to stop.
Only then Stella kept her mouth shut.
After Vermont had left, Keegan said, “You need to have boundaries when you lie. Are you really not
afraid of being exposed and embarrassing yourself?”
Stella bent her eyes and replied, “What’s the big deal? It’s just embarrassment. I’m with you anyway.
You’re the one who’ll be embarrassed.”
Upon hearing that, Keegan was left speechless.
