'She's an illegitimate daughter. Are you going to send her flowers to celebrate that?' thought Vermont.
Vermont quickly called Keegan. "Forget about the flowers. Didn't you see the news? Something
happened to your wife!"
Keegan was startled. His voice immediately turned nervous. "What happened?"
Vermont told him what happened at the court proceedings.
"That mutt-Albert Jewell-is seriously so heartless. He kicked Stella aside right after you divorced her!
He's leeched off your wife all these years, yet he didn't even think of their past relationship now that
she's useless to him. You'd even have feelings for your pet if you've spent more than 20 years with it.
He's trying to completely ruin your wife's reputation in Rivera's social circle! Did you know that your
wife's eyes turned red after hearing the news at the court proceeding? She probably cried after the
court proceeding ended."
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtKeegan asked with a dark, tense expression, "Where was the court proceeding?"
"At XX Courthouse. It's her asset division case with Albert, and her lawyer is Marshall." Vermont
paused for a moment. He continued, "Marshall didn't tell you?"
Keegan did not answer. He said while grabbing his clothes, "I'm hanging up. Let's talk later."
"Wait!" Vermont stopped him. He continued, "Are you going to look for Stella? Bring me with you. I'm
telling you, you won't even be able to enter the door if you don't bring me along."
Tve seen the prowess of that bandit woman before. She's Stella's protector. Keegan won't be able to
see Stella with her around,' he thought.
20 minutes later, Aldor drove Keegan and Vermont to Felicity's apartment building.
It was hard to find a parking spot in the area. Aldor could only wait in the car after finding a place so
that he could readily drive the car to a different location when someone chased them away.
Meanwhile, Keegan and Vermont went up the apartment building together.
When Vermont saw Keegan press the ninth floor, he was incredibly surprised.
"You know where your wife stays?"
Keegan did not answer.
'Stella only has this bestie who she's the closest to. Whenever we got into fights in the past, she would
come here. One time, she got drunk at Felicity's place and called me. She told me to come and pick
her up through slurred speech and told me the address herself. When I arrived, Felicity and another
few girls had passed out, so none of them knew that I was here,' he thought.
Unit 912 on the ninth floor was located near the elevator, so it could be seen the moment one exited
the elevator.
Vermont pressed the doorbell for a long time, but nobody opened the door.
He was a little skeptical. "Did you remember it wrong?"
Keegan pursed his lips.
"This is the place."
Vermont started pressing the doorbell again. This time, unit 912's door still
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmdid not open, but unit 914's door did. A girl stuck her head out and wanted to yell at them. However,
she immediately lowered her voice slightly when she saw how big and scary the two looked.
"Unit 912 isn't home yet.”
Vermont immediately put on his signature smile. "What time do they usually come home?"
The girl was stunned by his smile.
"Someone's usually home by eight or nine o'clock," she said softly.
Keegan glanced at the time, and it was currently only seven-ish o'clock.
Vermont thanked the girl and turned to Keegan. "Why don't we go downstairs and wait in the car?"
Keegan pursed his lips and said, "Go to the car. I'll wait here."
Vermont sighed, "Forget it. I'll wait here with you."
The apartment building had many residents per floor, so it was inappropriate for them to stand and wait
in the hallway. The two then went to the stairwell.
They thought they would have to wait for quite a while, but they heard the bandit woman's voice after
waiting for less than half an hour.
"Mr. Saun is so generous. After this, I'll jump ship and join Elegant Media too. I'm willing to work
overtime with such benefits."
