Chapter 99
Everyone showed expressions of agreement regardless of what they thought.
Stella consulted her with an earnest expression. “But, what if the man made a principle–based mistake?
For example, he has an affair and gets some woman pregnant, and the woman comes to you and
challenges you. How do you think this situation should be handled?”
After Stella spoke, Mrs. Chapman’s expression changed. Meanwhile, Bella also became pale and looked
panicked.
Mrs. Chapman pursed her lips and asked with a stiff expression, “Did you experience such a thing, Mrs.
Kane?”
Her words were incredibly blunt. Obviously, this was also something the crowd was very
curious about.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtStella steadily took a sip of her juice. Finally, she spoke, “It’s a friend of mine. Her husband had an affair,
and that woman got pregnant. However, my friend did not want to get divorced, so she went to find that
woman and negotiated with her. She wanted the woman to abort the baby and leave her husband. The
woman agreed and asked for one million dollars. She said she’ll abort the child once she got the money.
However, my friend is a stay–at–home mother and doesn’t have much savings, so she borrowed money
from me a few days ago. I’m not sure if I should lend her the money.”
She continued, “Personally, I disagree with her approach. Nevertheless, I don’t seem to have a better
solution. Since you’re knowledgeable and experienced, I’m asking you in my friend’s stead. How do you
think it should be handled if you were faced with this situation?”
Hearing Stella finish her sentence, Bella breathed a sigh of relief. However, Mrs. Chapman’s expression
had completely darkened.
“I don’t have experience in these things. You’ve asked the wrong person, Mrs. Kane,” she said stiffly.
Stella hurriedly said, “Don’t be angry, Mrs. Chapman. I’m not saying that Mr. Chapman did anything. I just
thought you’ve been through this and should have a good way to handle such things.”
Mrs. Chapman was so furious that she had turned red. However, she could not act on her anger.
She gritted her teeth and said icily, “I’m not angry. It’s just I’m genuinely unable to answer your question.
Excuse me, ladies. I need to go to the washroom.”
Stella watched as Mrs. Chapman hastily left.
She smiled and loudly said, “Let’s play Mah–Jongg when you’re free, Mrs. Chapman.”
Mrs. Chapman froze momentarily. Then, she quickened her pace and left in her leather flats.
Stella narrowed her eyes, and the corner of her lips unnoticeably twisted upward. While she was
gloating, Keegan’s voice sounded behind her. “What did you talk about that made you this happy?”
Stella’s smile instantly faltered.
“Nothing,” she said coolly.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmOn the other hand, the ladies were incredibly friendly to Keegan. It only took them a few sentences to tell
him about the conversation earlier.
Keegan then glanced at Stella.
‘I didn’t know she has a married friend whose husband had an affair?‘ he thought.
“You lent that friend money?”
‘Lent, my ass! It was a story I made up on the spot!‘ she thought.
Stella glanced at him and said, “I wanted to, but I didn’t have enough.”
“I can pay you in advance.”
‘Is he that kind?‘ she wondered.
“Under what condition?”
She wanted to know what Keegan was thinking.
Keegan lowered his gaze and said in a husky voice, “Give me a kiss.”
