Chapter 511
Wenham did not say anything further after Keegan's reply. He was satisfied to see the close
relationship between Trevor and Keegan. He knew that Keegan was more practical and hardworking,
unlike his quirky son whose head was always in the clouds. So, he was naturally happy about the close
ties between them. He hoped that Keegan's good traits would rub off on his son even a little.
Stella silently shifted her seat slightly toward Jaylene. Wenham was overjoyed and started babbling to
Keegan about Stella's attempt to save Jaylene. He even exaggerated a little. Darcie, at the side,
amusedly said, ’ Keegan knows more than you think. After all, he is married to Ms. Jewell. How would
he not know?"
When that was said, everyone became restless. The younger generations knew about Keegan and
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtStella's divorce. They were all in the same social clique, and the news was quickly shared around once
Stella's group chat posted it. Only those that were older like Darcie and Wenham did not know.
Wenham was even more clueless about Stella being Keegan's ex- wife. Otherwise, he would not have
happily rambled on to Keegan.
Stella pursed her lips. She did not dare to bring up the divorce and embarrass the older Saun family
couple for letting Keegan join them, knowing that they did not know about the divorce. Since Stella was
silent about this, the Saun family siblings naturally did not dare to bring it up.
Keegan would prefer everyone not to bring up the divorce since he regretted divorcing her in the first
place.
That was why he interjected after Darcie and said, "And, I hope she would worry about herself before
anything else, no matter the occasion."
He knew that whatever he said right now may be tuned out by Stella, but he truly meant what he said.
He was worried for her ever since he knew that Stella dangerously scaled along the outer wall of the
twelfth floor from the lady’s washroom to the men's. There was literally no chance of survival if a slip-up
happened from such a high up height, especially when no safety harness was used. He would rather
have her standing idly by and not brave the danger.
Wenham may not realize what Keegan meant but Darcie did. She raised her eyes and smiled. "That's
why Ms. Jewell is brave and astute."
"That's right." Wenham pitched in, feeling utmost grateful. "It's thanks to Ms. Jewell's quick actions, or
else the consequences will be quite ghastly. Jaylene, You have to properly thank Ms. Jewell for this."
Jaylene softly said, "Is there even a need to say that, father?"
After she said that, she turned to Stella and brought up her wine glass. "Ms. Jewell, I should have
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmpersonally thanked you for the incident at the hotel but was unable to due to my weak constitution. I
hope you don't take the delay to heart. I wouldn't be here if it wasn't for your courage. I hope this simple
meal of ours is to your liking."
Stella held her wine glass in response and politely smiled. "Ms. Saun, you're exaggerating. You don't
have to be so formal over such a small matter. Besides, we wouldn't have been locked in the restroom
if Aurora hadn't pulled a prank on me that day. In a way, it could be counted me as making up to you
since I may have caused trouble to you."
The Saun family's gratefulness did not matter to Stella. She just wanted Aurora to take the blame.
Wenham frowned and said, "Are you saying Aurora intentionally did that?"
Stella said with her eyes down. "Aurora's target was me, but she did not know that Ms. Saun was in
there as well. It was just an accident."
Stella may have said it sincerely, but in her heart, she sneered to herself,' Doesn't Keegan like to clean
up after Aurora's mess? I'll see how much more he can handle.'
