Chapter 277
‘Albert has such good timing. Stella didn’t have to work that day, and Albert just had to do something like
this.‘
“Good morning, Mrs. Kane.” Stella heard several people greeting her as soon as she woke up and went
downstairs. She was shocked and almost slipped.
There were some domestic helpers cleaning the house, and Stella had no idea when they arrived.
The glass table in the living room was spotlessly clean, and the huge wedding photo looked as good as
new too.
Everything in the house looked so pristine, just like when they first got married and moved in.
‘I don’t understand what Keegan’s doing.
‘Not only did he agree to let somebody else live here, but he also told them to clean the house as if it
mattered.‘
Nonetheless, Stella was pleased because she did not have to do anything.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtKeegan came down from upstairs just after Stella poured herself a glass of water.
He had a suit on, and he purposely styled his hair. He walked down as he fixed his sleeve.
Keegan’s body proportions were perfect. He was six feet one, and his legs were three feet seven. The
suit that he was wearing made his legs look even longer.
Stella swept her glance over his starched slack silently before she gulped and said, “Why are you going
to work so late today?”
Keegan glared at her. “I’m not going to work.”
‘Then why are you wearing a suit?‘
Before she could ask that question, Stella heard Keegan speak again. “Change into something nice. I’ll
wait for you in the car.”
Stella paused. “Where are we going?”
“Your dad wants us to pick your great–grandfather up.”
Stella was speechless.
‘I thought they were going to send him over. Why do we have to pick him up now?‘
The Jewell family had a lot of visitors when Stella’s great–grandfather fell sick. Rainee did not have a
good relationship with her relatives, so Stella only met them a few times. Obviously, they did not like her.
She would not want to meet those people if given the option.
The last time Stella saw them was during the new year when Albert insisted she join them for dinner.
Keegan did not like to socialize, so Stella went alone.
Stella could still clearly remember the looks her relatives gave her that day.
Albert was the first person to graduate from a university in his family. He gave a lot of money to his family
to build roads back home after that, so he was highly respected in the Jewell family.
Albert was a role model to almost everyone in the Jewell family. Some of his relatives settled down in the
city with his help too. Even though some of them stayed in their old home, they would send their kids to
study in the city, hoping they would become another Albert.
Stella and her cousins did not have a big age difference, so their parents‘ favorite thing to do
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmwas to compare
them with each other whenever they all gathered to celebrate an occasion.
Some parents would feel superior if their child scored well, but the children who did poorly would not
even have the mood to eat without their parents having to nag them.
However, Stella was the best child among them, and she had always been.
She was brilliant, and Rainee spent a lot of time and effort in her education. Stella would already know
everything in the Year Two syllabus when her peers were still in Year One. So she would consistently
score very well because of that.
Rainee liked to show off. After flaunting Stella’s results, Rainee would ask Stella to play the piano and
flute in front of everyone.
Her relatives were less privileged than her, so the things that Stella learned were out of reach for them.
That was why what Rainee did made them very mad.
Every child was a parent’s best–loved one, and they simply could not bear to see Stella being in the
limelight every single time.
So, their relationship with each other worsened as time passed.
Not only did Rainee invite almost a thousand people to a meal in her old home during the year when
Stella got accepted into Trinity University, but she also organized a concert for three days straight. All of
her relatives boiled with anger.
