Chapter 95
Keegan recognized the man as someone who had just been introduced to him. A twenty–something–
year- old who co–founded an up–and–coming internet enterprise with a modest bit of his family’s
funding. The company seemed to have good momentum too.
Keegan walked toward them with a long face. The young man saw Keegan and greeted him with a smile,
” Mr Kane
Keegan remained composed, making it hard for people to see through him. He asked calmly. “What were
you talking about?”
“Oh, it’s nothing.” The man laughed. “We were classmates in the past, so we were just catching up.”

and explained, “This is Ms. Stella Jewell, my high school classmate. We haven’t been in touch for a long
time. I didn’t expect to run into her here. Stella, this is Mr. Kane from The Vinci Rivera Group.
Stella was speechless. This classmate of hers was enthusiastic but senseless. The next moment,
Keegan smirked, “I can see that you’ve not been in touch for a while.”
The man was startled to see Keegan putting his arm around Stella’s waist. Keegan slowly looked at him.

industry.”
The man was delighted that Keegan took the initiative to talk, so he enthusiastically chatted with him.
Keegan rarely talked to strangers. The people around him noticed them chatting and slowly gathered
around him. It was impossible to talk about business on such occasions. The main focus was to get
acquainted with people.
Although the ladies talked about more boring topics; topics such as the opening of a new Japanese
restaurant, the best teatime in the streets, or they would show off their husband’s families. Their lives
seemed to live within their husband’s social circle.
