Chapter 1071
After a lot of agony, Stella finally picked up the phone and called Daniel.
Daniel had just finished taking a shower and was reading a script at that time. He was a little surprised to receive
Stella's call since it was late. 'She wouldn't call me at this time of the night if it wasn't an emergency, right?1 he
thought as he quickly pressed the answer button.
"Hey, Mr. Wood. It's me." Stella sounded squirmish, but Daniel could not tell.
Instead, he teased her by saying, "So excited to become famous that you couldn't sleep?"
His words made Stella speechless. She laughed dryly and replied, "Hahaha. You're so funny."
Daniel recalled the moments when Stella teased him and shrugged. He leaned against his couch and happily asked,

"It's nothing, really. I just wanted to know if you still have the royal mantle I wore when I played the queen?"
"I think the costume crew has it. Why?"
"Well..." Stella stammered. "Is it for sale? I want to buy it as a souvenir."
Daniel paused and said, "That royal mantle was hand sewn by a master embroiderer. The time it took him to make
that piece and the materials would cost more than one hundred thousand dollars. How much do you earn from
your films? Why would you want to spend that kind of money on a piece of clothing? Are you crazy?"
Stella laughed again and said, "Then, forget I - Keegan Kane, give me back my phone!"
After some rustling noises, Daniel heard a male voice on the other line. "I'll give you three hundred thousand
dollars. If it's a deal, I'll send someone over to get it immediately."
Stella stomped her feet as she tried to grab her phone and cursed, "You're such an idiot, Keegan. That piece of
clothing is only one hundred thousand dollars. Do you have nowhere else to spend your money?"
Daniel froze for a moment and quickly said, ' Deal."
Stella was at a loss for words.
Half an hour later, the royal mantle used in The Palace was brought to Royalpark Villa, and the couple stood before
the cloak for some time. Stella tried to run away, but Keegan put his arm around her waist and pulled her into his
embrace. "Time to get changed, Ms. Jewell," he said with his chin on her shoulders.
His actions made Stella speechless. She gritted her teeth and said, "Fine. I'll give you what you want this time. But
you're a rotten egg if you hold on to that matter."
Keegan smiled and said, "Whatever you say."

Stella was about to go upstairs with the piece of clothing when Keegan called out to her. "Just change your clothes
here."
Stella could not believe her ears.
Keegan sat on the couch with his legs crossed and his elbows resting on the side while looking at her in admiration.
He was done with his shower but did not get into his pajamas for some reason. Instead, Keegan was wearing a pair
of suit pants and a collared shirt. Earlier, he even set his hair up while waiting for the royal mantle to arrive. He was
now sitting in an elitist posture, looking all serious and ascetic.
Stella's heartbeat involuntarily accelerated when she saw him like that. However, she was not blinded by lust. "Don't
get too cocky," she sensibly rejected Keegan's request.
"Shouldn't the compensation be decided by the person who's being compensated? What kind of compensation is
this if you can't do it?" Keegan said slowly.
Stella gritted her teeth and said, "You've seen me change before." "Not into a royal mantle," Keegan said earnestly
