Chapter 595
Most of the wives were discussing the divorce between Keegan and Stella in private. Even though not
everyone was fond of Stella, they felt that Keegan did not handle things adequately. He divorced Stella
as soon as she had just lost her mother.
Dahlia had always portrayed herself as a good mother-in-law in public, but she did not seem concerned
about her son's divorce. She even had the mood to compete with Chandler's family over the right to
host this birthday banquet. The wives could not help, but they felt suspicious about this image of her
which was out of character.
"I've always advised Keegan that it's not easy to live as a couple, and whether they could stay together
was all fate. But, that's just our thoughts as a parent. Young people are stubborn; it's hard to convince
them otherwise once their minds are set on something. I could still get some sense into Keegan, but I
have no way to do anything when Stella gets stubborn. I guess we're not fated to have a deep

Dahlia implied that she did not intend for them to divorce. Stella cut off the strings, and she could do
nothing to stop it.
One wife said, "The unfortunates are not worthy to enter a blessed family. In my opinion, it's good that
the marriage ended. Although Stella looked pretty and decent, who knew she was a love child? Now
ain't this a shame to the Kane family."
"Thank the Lord she has some self-awareness and chooses to end the marriage. It would have been
troublesome if she clung onto Keegan."
"I know, right? Luckily they ended it quickly. With Keegan's background, I'm sure he could find a better
fit."
"I heard someone saw Stella at The Deli. She like she was clinging to Keegan."
"She must have regretted divorcing since she later found out that she was a love child.”
Dahlia sighed, "It's not easy for a divorced woman. Please take care of her for my sake when you see
her in the future."
Mrs. Chapman replied, "You're too kind to her, Dahlia."
The wives hurriedly changed the topic and continued, "That's a nice ring you have there, Dahlia!"
One of the ladies with keen eyesight noticed the diamond ring on Dahlia's index finger. It was the same
one they auctioned recently at Irene's jewel exhibition.
Dahlia smiled lightly and said, "Keegan picked it. It's a heartfelt gift from him. I thought it was nice, so
I'm wearing it for fun.”
Dahlia was wearing a six to seven-million ring for fun. This realization made the wives feel the
difference between different prestigious families. Dahlia was wearing more than ten million on her, but
that was not even the most expensive thing she had in her closet. This was the difference between
them.
When the wives were chatting, someone interrupted. "Why is Stella here?"
Everyone was startled and turned to look. Stella dressed in a lavender gown and had her hair done in a
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmFrench vintage style. On her slender and fair neck, she wore a dazzling diamond necklace that shone
brightly under the lighting on the scene.
Keegan stood beside her, holding a coat and putting it on her. Once he put it on, Stella would shake it
off. Keegan tried to put it on again, but Stella would wave it off again. This process repeated several
times.
The wives were all speechless at their behavior. 'Didn't the rumors say that it was Stella who was
clinging onto Keegan? But, from the way it looks, Keegan seemed to be the one who was clinging onto
Stella.'
Dahlia pulled a long face. 'I never expected Stella to have the audacity to come!' Dahlia took a deep
breath, asserting her control, and called," Keegan."
Keegan paused, and Stella shook the coat off. Stella naturally heard Dahlia's voice. She turned her
head with a smirk and said, "Mrs. Kane, long time no see."
Dahlia's expression turned dark, but she still had a polite smile on her face. "Stella, what brings you
here?"
Stella replied coolly, "Isn't Mrs. Kane in charge of the birthday banquet? How could you not know
Grandma’s guest?"
