Chapter 2073
Stella continued to tease Keegan. She said, "Mr. Kane, as someone in R&D, you should
know the importance of data, right? How could you ever manipulate them?"
His eyelid twitched as he sneered. "If you keep blabbering, I'm going to conduct a control
experiment on you and redo the data collection!"
Stella kept her mouth shut but kept blinking her eyes at him.
Keegan reached out to cover them and kissed her fiercely. Then, he said through gritted
teeth, "Close your eyes! It's time to sleep!"
Stella chuckled, rested her head on his shoulder, and hugged him.
Just as she was about to fall asleep, her phone rang.
Keegan tapped her. "Why didn't you put it on silent?" "I forgot." Stella took her phone,
intending to turn the silent mode on. Then, she suddenly saw a text from Marshall.
[Stella, do you know Luanna Saab?]

Marshall attached a photo with that message.
When Stella read it, she sat up abruptly.
Keegan was startled by her sudden movement and opened his eyes, asking, "What's
wrong?"
Stella said, "Marshall is asking me about an old classmate.'
Keegan frowned. "What old classmate? Why does he have to bother you in the middle of
the night?"
Stella shrugged. "Let me ask him."
The girl in the photo sent by Marshall was Luanna Saab, Stella's classmate from university.
They had a pretty good relationship with each other during that time. Luanna had a very
innocent look and was selected by a production crew to star in an idol drama, becoming
an overnight sensation.
After that, she was offered countless other roles and turned herself into a rising star in the
industry. Perhaps she got too busy, or her mindset changed after meeting more people,
but Stella talked less with her than before.
The trend of idol dramas died off very quickly-the agency she signed with wanted to make
quick money and only offered her similar types of roles. The trend faded in just a few
years, and the types of dramas she starred in had extremely poor ratings.
Her popularity declined, but she managed to sustain her career due to her previous
success.
However, at the beginning of last year, Luanna was exposed for testing positive in a drug
test. Consequently, an official announcement was made to confirm it. After that, all her
dramas were taken down, and she disappeared from the entertainment industry.
At that time, everyone in the group chat talked about it for some time.
Since then, Stella had not heard any news about her. Luanna even deleted Stella's number
from her phone.
Stella could not figure out why Marshall would ask her about Luanna. She texted back: (We
were university classmates and roommates, but we haven't gotten in touch much. Why?]
It did not take Marshall long to reply: (Luanna Saab committed suicide by charcoal
burning. She left a note stating how she was drugged and framed. Her sister brought the
note to me, wanting to sue everyone involved.
[However, the note can't be used as direct evidence. Her sister also sent me her contact

so I decided to ask you.
[I didn't wake you up from your sleep, did I?]
Keegan looked at Marshall's text and spoke to Stella coldly, "You're already awake. Why is
he even asking that?"
Stella ignored Keegan as she typed: [When did it happen? I haven't seen any news about
it.] (New Year’s Eve. She was hospitalized for a day but couldn't make it anyway. A lot of
people knew that she had taken drugs before, and her family felt ashamed. So, they had a
very low-profile funeral.
(They also didn't want to go after the people mentioned in her suicide note. However, her
twin sister couldn't accept it and came to me for legal advice. ]
Stella could not accept that her once close friend was suddenly gone. She felt very
uncomfortable.
Marshall texted again: [Can I call you now? I have a few questions.]
Before Stella could reply, Keegan snatched her phone and responded: (No. I'm going to
sleep now.]
