Chapter 178
Stella was speechless.
On the other side of the screen, Vermont tried very hard to hold his laughter back.
Keegan was just mean.
Fortunately, Stella was shameless enough to not show her anger out loud. She felt a lot better after
reminding herself of her intention of coming here.
“I was too inconsiderate. I only realized that I should take care of you since you were hurt because of
me. I read a few jokes recently, and they’re hilarious. Do you want to hear them?”
Keegan was uncomfortable by Stella’s sudden change of attitude. From what he knew about her, she
would never speak like this.
Normally, Stella would not hesitate to talk back at him if he were to speak to her like that. ‘What’s she up
to?’
Keegan went silent for a few seconds before he said, “Sure.”

Stella thought for a moment. Then, she said, “One day, Mama Fly brought Baby Fly to a pile of poop for
lunch.
“Then, Baby Fly asked Mama Fly, ‘Mama, mama, why are you eating poop?’
“After that, Mama Fly got angry, and she said, ‘Can you not talk about something so disgusting while
we’re eating?!””
Keegan was quiet.
His mouth was filled with the milk he had just drunk. On the other hand, Vermont did not hold himself
back as he burst out laughing while thumping a hand on his desk.
That was when Stella realized Keegan was on a video call with Vermont. She immediately felt a little
embarrassed.
Keegan struggled to swallow the milk. Then, he frowned and said, “Uncultured!”
“I thought it was pretty funny.” Vermont was crying with laughter. “Stella, you’re so talented at telling
jokes.”
Vermont was not trying to flatter her at all: Perhaps it had something to do with Stella’s profession. She
would use a different voice for every character while telling a story. So, the joke sounded like it was
something that really happened.
Stella chuckled but did not speak as she thought Vermont was just making fun of her.
She would not have done that if she had known that Keegan was on a call with him.
Keegan glared at her when she was just about to chicken out. “Is that all?”
‘Do you think that the things you said aren’t uncultured?’
Stella refuted him inwardly as she said, “Yeah. I have another better one.
“There was a big fish and a small fish.
“One day, the small fish asked the big fish, “Big… fish… big… fish… what… do… you… like… to… eat?
“Then, the big fish said, ‘I… like… to… eat… small… fish… that… talks… slowly.’
“After that, the small fish said, ‘Oh, no!’”

Stella also thought that it was kind of a bad joke. So, she coughed and said, “Is it not funny?”
Vermont showed his support. “No, it’s hilarious.”
However, Keegan said sarcastically, “Do you mean ridiculous?”
Stella held herself back again. Otherwise, she would grab the glass of milk in front of her and splash it on
Keegan’s face.
Vermont knew how to read people’s reactions very well, so he immediately shifted the topic,” Stella, are
you going to the jewelry exhibition in two days? Marshall’s aunt has a Luminous Pearl that was found in
a two-thousand-year-old tomb. She got it from an auction in a museum in Pairin. She wants to let the
country have it, but she also wants to let everyone see its beauty before it becomes the country’s
possession. Are you interested in having a look?”
Stella suddenly got very tempted.
The Luminous Pearl was not an expensive thing, but the fact that it came from more than two thousand
years ago made it very valuable.
Anyone who liked gems or was interested in collecting antiques would be intrigued by the history and
how rare the Luminous Pearl was.
