Stella stopped fiddling with the flower petals and questioned, " Why would I go back to Royalpark Villa with you?"
Remembering the dismissive texts she had sent him on WhatsApp, Keegan explained, ''The doctor recommended
that I immerse myself in familiar surroundings and interactions to aid in recovering my memories.
Given that we used to live together, being in that environment might help trigger my memories." Stella let out a
derisive chuckle.
"Why should I assist you? Remember, we're on the verge of ending our engagement." Keegan's eyes darkened, and
after a prolonged gaze, he said, " What do you need me to do for you to help?" Stella smiled.
"You'll need to compensate me." Keegan was left speechless.
He hadn't anticipated that response.
Jaylene, seemingly grasping the essence of their conversation, interjected, "Keegan, there are numerous methods
to trigger your memory.
You don't have to confine yourself to someone else's terms just to speed up the process." ‘Confine? That's a more
tactful way of putting it.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtWhy not just say I'm taking advantage of the situation?’ thought Stella.
However, Keegan replied, "Given the current situation at the company, time is of the essence.
Seeking her help is the quickest option, especially since most of the missing memories involve her.
ie Jaylene's expression soured.
"Keegan, have you forgotten what Dr.
Stone mentioned today? Overstimulation of memories can have adverse effects.
Are these memories more vital than your well- being?" Stella remained silent.
She did not intervene in the conversation.
Instead, she observed them quietly.
The anger she had felt dissipated while waiting for Keegan.
Now, looking at Jaylene, Stella was surprisingly calm.
She could see the anxiety in Jaylene's eyes.
Jaylene was afraid of Keegan regaining his memory.
If Keegan regained his memory, he would likely return to Stella, and Jaylene would have to keep her distance.
‘Everything will return to how it was.
What is she so scared of?" Stella pondered.
Keegan spoke in a detached manner, "Vinci Rivera wasn't solely built by me.
Memories matter, no doubt." Jaylene couldn't grasp how much Keegan valued the people who supported Vinci
Rivera when he faced trouble.
However, he wasn't just staying with Stella because of that.
Keegan's answer left Jaylene feeling even more uncomfortable.
She wanted to suggest they didn't have to live together.
But then she realized she didn't have the right to say so.
So, she clenched her fists and shot an angry look at Stella.
Stella was confused by Jaylene's glare.
'Why is she glaring at me when Keegan made the call?' she wondered.
Keegan turned his gaze to Stella once more and asked, "How much are you asking for?" Stella smiled again.
'"Not much.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmJust ten thousand upfront." Jaylene's eyes darkened.
"Stella, Keegan has been generous to you.
You're the reason this happened to him.
He's just asking for a favor.
There's no need to be so demanding when he's already ina difficult situation." 1 Stella chuckled lightly.
"Jaylene, the kidnappers are the reason for his current situation, not me.
I'm asking for money from my fiancé, and what does that have to do with you? He hasn't even complained that I'm
asking for too much." Jaylene's face turned pale and then flushed when she heard that.
Stella turned to Keegan and said, "Of course, you don't have to pay this money if you don't want to." Keegan
paused.
He saw her smiling, and a bad feeling crept into his heart.
The next second, he heard Stella say, "I want you to make a post on your Twitter." "About?" Stella glanced at
Jaylene and slowly said, "I want you to make a post saying that you will never have any involvement with Jaylene,
regardless of whether you can recover your memories.
Otherwise, you will never get to have children."
