Chapter 1177
'I can't believe how good Keegan is at flirting when he has to,' Stella thought. She would melt just from looking at
his face, let alone him taking the initiative to patch things up between them. Stella tried to hold back her smile and
sneakily put her hand under the table to receive the envelope." I'm honestly baffled by how thick this envelope is.
Does your money grow on trees?"
"It's not a lot," Keegan whispered.
Stella pinched the thick red envelope and glared at him. "It's as thick as a brick," she said.
Stella had given Vermont a hard time earlier, so he wanted to get back at her through Keegan. He knew that
Keegan would not mind a few insults unless they were targeted at Stella.
"Keegan doesn't know what it feels like to not have money. He literally booked the whole place when Duncan got

he left, and Keegan paid for all of it. Do you know how much he spent that day?
"He spent up to seven figures! Do you know how much that is? He could've bought a Maserati, a Hermes bag, or
even put in the down payment for a house! It would take you at least half a year to spend that kind of money if you
spent ten thousand dollars per day. Yet, he spent it all in one night."
Keegan snapped. "Don't you dare try to wreak havoc here!"
"I'm not causing trouble. I'm just telling the truth! I mean, Stella was there to see it happen. And it's fine since
Duncan is one of our own, but what is Albert to you? Why would you fork out so much money for your ex-father-in-
law? When you and Stella got divorced, he immediately kicked her out of the Jewell family and cut ties with her.
Why would you give him that much money as a gift? Do you think he should be awarded for disowning his
daughter?"
Stella was at a loss for words. She had almost forgotten about Keegan's spending at Duncan's wedding. She could
not help but feel the pain again when Vermont reminded her of it.
Keegan's logical thinking skills were thrown out the window once he was drunk, and he would agree to anything
anyone wanted. Stella was often worried that someone would trick him into signing over his company at a cheap
price when he was wasted.
Even though, her worries were unfounded. Keegan understood that he had a low alcohol tolerance and would never
indulge in drinks during serious business occasions. The only time he would drink was when he was with his close
acquaintances. Due to his current status, he did not have to drink with business partners to secure a deal.
Keegan noticed that Stella was frowning under Vermont's provocation, and his face darkened. "Stop instigating
things, or I'll air out your dirty laundry," he said.
Vermont froze upon hearing that and immediately shut his mouth.

Stella's heart ached for the money Keegan had spent, but she was not angry at him since Vermont was the one
who tried to stir the pot. However, she found it strange that Vermont would back off when Keegan said he would
expose his secrets. "What do you have on him?" she asked Keegan in a low voice.
Before Keegan could say anything, Vermont tried to derail the conversation. "I'm a great guy. He doesn't have
anything on me. He just said that to piss me off."
However, Stella was not that easily fooled. 'There's no way he'd immediately turn quiet if Keegan didn't have
anything on him,’ she thought.
She continued to ask Keegan about the leverage he had on Vermont so that she could tell Felicity.
At that moment, Vermont remained silent. Keegan looked at him and saw that he was signaling him not to say
anything. So, Keegan withdrew his gaze and said, "I can't tell you."
"I'll give you extra points if you tell me," Stella quickly responded.
Vermont was confused as to what she meant by that.
