Chapter 1703

‘Fuck!’

Suddenly, Vermont’s mind was filled with just one phrase.1 Keegan Kane, you’re in big *** trouble!’

Keegan paused. He turned around and met Stella’s gaze.

Her gaze did not look as passionate as it did in the study; it was now icy.

Clearly, she had heard everything Keegan said just now.

Vermont tried to cover up for Keegan. “Stella, don’t take those words seriously. He’s just saying them because he’s angry. You know how Keegan is. He’s just being sarcastic and jealous-“

“I’m here to get my gloves.”

Stella cut him off. Her voice sounded clear, leaving no hint of emotion.

“Gloves…” Vermont was taken aback. “Where are they?”

“In the study room.” Keegan pursed his lips.

“I’ll bring Stella to them,” Jaylene said.

“There’s no need for that.” Stella looked at her coldly. “I know this house better than you do.”

Jaylene shut up awkwardly. This time, Keegan did not speak up for her.

Stella went right to the study, took her gloves, and was about to leave directly. But, when she walked past the living room, she said, “Marshall, are you going back to your office? It’s hard to catch a cab here. Can I hitch a ride with you?”

Her voice sounded extremely gentle. Vermont could swear that he had never heard her speak like this except in the dramas she acted in. She would not even speak to Keegan like this in the past.

This… is so fake!’ Vermont thought to himself.Books Chapters Are Daily Updated Join & Stay Updated For All Books Updates…

To avoid the situation from getting out of control, Vermont decided to sacrifice himself for the greater good. “Stella, it’s more convenient for you to hitch a ride with me instead of Marshall. We live right next to each other, but Marshall will have to take a detour.”

Stella swept her glance across her. “Felicity said she doesn’t want to ride in your car.”

Vermont was taken aback.

Marshall was sharp enough to understand what Stella was trying to do.

She simply did not want to look embarrassed at the moment. Although Keegan had lost his memories, what he said was simply too hurtful. Since he would not stop being sarcastic, Stella was not going to hold herself back anymore.

After all, Stella had never spoken to him in such a manner before.

Marshall’s expression softened, as he said softly, “Let’s go.

I’ll take you guys home.”

“Thank you.” Stella nodded.

After saying that, she turned and left with Marshall without sparing a glance at Keegan.

Vermont scrutinized Keegan’s expression. However, he remained indifferent, as if he did not care at all.

Then, Jaylene said softly to Keegan, “Keegan, don’t be angry with Stella. I’m sure that she’s just upset after hearing what you said just now. That’s why she’s deliberately acting close to Marshall.”

“Who said I’m angry?” Keegan said calmly, “It’s the truth anyway.”

He paused and added, “She has a sharp tongue, and I’ve experienced it in the study just now. You’re too soft to deal with a person like her. You should avoid talking to her in the future. Don’t let her bully you.”

Jaylene was momentarily stunned, as her cheeks turned faintly red. Then, she looked at him affectionately and said,” Sure, Keegan.”

Vermont was speechless.

He lifted his teacup and took a sip before spitting out a few tea leaves, creating a pfft sound that managed to interrupt the “loving” interaction between the two.

Keegan glanced at Vermont. “Is there a reason why you’re still here?”

Vermont put down his cup, walked up to him, and asked,” You don’t remember Stella, but what about me?’

Keegan looked at him for a moment and said, “You borrowed two million from me to start your business back then. The interest has doubled over the years. When are you going to pay me back?”
