Chapter 26
Only then did Stella recognize the man she had met on the rooftop of Rotona Pinnacle Hospital. She
shook her head in response to his question. The pregnant woman’s eyes turned red with anger. “You
bitch! Do you think I’m scared of you now that someone has come to your rescue? Try me!” Stella
wanted to respond, but Marshall stopped her.
He took his phone out and said, “I have proof of you hitting her on my phone. Although you’ll only be
sentenced to a minimal crime punishment because you’re pregnant and you have nothing to fear, what
do you think would happen if I put this on the internet? Do you think people would let you go just
because you have a baby in you? Your child is going to be criticized before they’re even born. Do you think they could live safely after that?”

forgot to introduce myself. I’m a journalist, which also means I have the power to spread this news
around.” The woman did not dare to retaliate, so she just bit the bullet and said, “You got lucky.” She
walked away while holding her belly after saying that.
Marshall turned around, and his dominating manner dissipated in an instant. His gaze turned somewhat
warm. “You’re hurt,” he said, pointing at Stella’s neck. She opened the camera app on her phone to look
at it and saw that there were bloody scratches on her neck.
“Let’s take care of that. I have a first aid kit in my car.” Stella felt like she could not reject his kindness, so
she said in a low voice, ” Alright. Sorry for the trouble.” Marshall smiled and said, “It’s nothing.” After the
both of them got into his car, Marshall dug out some disinfectant to clean her wound. “I’ll do it,” Stella
softly said, unnaturally avoiding his help as Marshall handed her the kit.
When she treated her wound, she asked, “So, you’re a journalist.”
Marshall was taken aback for a moment. He then laughed and shook his head as he said, “No, someone
else gave me that business card. I didn’t even have a video of what happened. I just wanted to scare her
so that she’d stop.”
‘Well, that makes sense. He doesn’t look like a reporter. I mean, what kind of reporter drives a Bentley?”
Stella thought.
“Wow, I almost fell for it,” she chuckled. Marshall was stunned for a second when he heard that.
He then smiled and said, “I’ll take that as a compliment.” Just as he was talking, his phone rang. Marshall
excused himself and answered the call.

Keegan was rinsing his mouth when Aurora entered his office. “Keegan! Why did Stella come here?”
Keegan frowned. “Don’t you know how to knock?”
“The door wasn’t shut,” Aurora murmured in a low voice. “Keegan, are you okay?” she asked in surprise
when she saw that he did not look too well. Keegan’s tummy began to churn once again when he heard
that.
“What brings you here?” He glanced at Aurora impatiently and asked.
Aurora pursed her lips and said, “I want to borrow your phone. Marshall is not answering my calls.”
“Get lost!”
“Please? If Marshall and I get together, our family will become in–laws with the Moore family, and you
wouldn’t have to worry about our uncle’s family.”
“Marshall would never fall for you.” Keegan ruthlessly ruined her dream.
