Chapter 481
Marshall suddenly thought that Keegan was quite brave to marry Stella.
Stella chattered on and recounted Keegan's seven sins. In the end, she somehow thought of Rainee
and began crying while she was talking.
Marshall patted her back and consoled her in silence.
When Stella was done crying, she hiccuped and fell asleep.
Marshall stared expressionlessly at the sea far away. Then, he reached out and unbuttoned his collar.
Beneath his collarbone was a large dark red burn mark that spread out beneath his shirt.
The following day, Stella was woken up by knocking sounds.
She opened her eyes in a daze and saw hotel furnishings in front of her. She pressed her temples and
could not remember how she got to the hotel.
The knocking continued, so she said, "Give me a moment.”
As she got off the bed and opened the door, she said, "Mr. Moore?"
Marshall showed up at her door neatly dressed. When he saw Stella, he smiled and said warmly, "I’m
here to bring you a set of clothes."
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtIt took a moment before Stella asked, "You're the one who brought me to the hotel?"
"You don't remember?" asked Marshall. He continued, "Last night, I wanted to talk to you about the
personality rights case. But, when I called you, the bar owner answered. He said you had too much to
drink and asked me to pick you up."
Stella frowned.
'Now that Marshall mentioned it, I vaguely remember something like that. We seemed to have gone to
the beach and talked about something I don't remember. All I remember is that I might have slapped
Marshall,' she thought.
She was at a loss for words.
"I think I remember a little..." Stella coughed.
She asked, "Did I beat you up in a drunken haze?"
Marshall paused. "You don't remember at all?”
Stella probed, "There's something worse?"
"Does using my shirt to wipe off your snot count?"
Stella was speechless again.
She immediately felt so awkward she wanted to dig a hole and crawl inside it.
'Look who's talking? I said Keegan only gives me trouble when he's drunk, but I'm worse. I got drunk
and caused trouble to others,' she thought.
"I really don't remember. Where are your clothes? I'll help you wash them after this."
Marshall smiled. "I'm just messing with you," he said and handed her the clothes. He continued, "You
should get ready. After this, we'll talk about the case on the way."
Stella breathed a sigh of relief. "Alright."
Xianna exited her hotel room and bumped into Stella, who was in the corridor. She was standing at the
door and talking to someone. Shortly after, a man walked out of the hotel room, and the two walked to
the elevator together.
Xianna widened her eyes in shock.
'Stella actually spent a night with a man in a hotel! And, I was worried I wouldn't find the chance to take
revenge for last time,' she thought.
She hurriedly grabbed her phone and snapped a few photos. Then, she sent it to their bestie group
chat. "Aurora, I saw your sister-in-law at the hotel this morning! She stayed at the hotel with another
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmman!"
Last night, Aurora chatted with Ariel for a really long time, so she was still asleep at that time. She felt a
little annoyed at how her phone kept buzzing, so she took it and glanced at it. Then, she was instantly
wide awake.
Xianna was unfamiliar with Marshall, so she could not recognize him at all. However, Aurora was
familiar with him. She could recognize Marshall just from the silhouette. The jacket the person wore
was the one he wore when he left the house last night.
'He said he was going to meet a client, but it turned out to be Stella!' thought Aurora.
She gritted her teeth as she looked at the two in the photo. Then, she took her phone and ran
downstairs.
At the time, Dahlia was watering the flowers. When she saw Aurora rushing downstairs without any
shoes, she frowned. "What's going on?"
"Mom, that bitch, Stella, is seducing Marshall!" Aurora exclaimed furiously.
"How's that possible?" Naturally, Dahlia did not believe it. She continued, ’ How could Marshall like her?
She's still your sister-in-law, so how could he possibly be interested in her?" "It's true!" Aurora stomped
her feet in irritation. She placed her phone in front of Dahlia. "Look! Xianna witnessed the two of them
walk out of a hotel room."
