Chapter 56
“Officer, was the person who made the report called Mr. Kane? Keegan Kane?”
The police officer looked at Stella in surprise. “Is he an acquaintance of yours?” he asked. Stella’s lips
twitched, as she gritted her teeth and said, “He’s my husband!”
“Do you have any proof?”
“Huh? Proof? For what? To prove that he is my husband?
This was the first time Stella felt that she was having difficulties communicating with the police. So, she
stopped talking and called Keegan immediately.
Once the line was connected, the man’s deep and mellow voice came from the other end. “What’s
wrong?
Still acting like you don’t know, huh? What an ass! Stella held back her anger and said in a cold voice,

Keegan seemed as though he had been waiting for her to say that. He hung up without a word. Stella
was becoming more and more certain that Keegan did it on purpose. At first, she was anxious when she
heard that Felicity was in trouble. But, now that Stella had time to calm down and think about it, she
realized that the police resources were limited. It was impossible that they would casually bring Felicity in
for questioning about a multi–million–dollar theft case.
As soon as Keegan entered the station, Stella pulled him over and said, “Officer, here’s the person who
made the report–my husband.”
Keegan did not deny it. The police officer looked at Keegan and then at Stella. “If he’s your husband,
then why don’t you two live together?”
Stella was at a loss for words at that time. Keegan raised his brows as if he was watching an exciting
show. “Hey, they asked you a question,” he said.
Stella glared at him and tried to hold herself back for a long time before she said, “We got into a fight. So,
I moved out and stayed at my friend’s place. She is not a thief. I was the one who brought the ring there.”
The police officer frowned. “You two had a lover’s quarrel and decided to call the police on others? Are
you dumb?*
Stella lowered her head, as she got scolded. At the same time, she was secretly cursing Keegan and his
ancestors.
The police lectured the two and asked them to sign off the case before letting Felicity out. Felicity hugged
Stella the moment she saw her. Obviously, Felicity was frightened for her life. Stella patted her on the
back and comforted her. “There, there.”
“Are you guys planning on catching up in here?” Keegan interrupted. “C’mon. Let’s go,” he said in
disdain.
When the three got into the car, they stayed silent for the entire ride. Soon, they arrived at Felicity’s place

pulled Felicity away, leaving Keegan behind.
in the apartment, Stella poured Felicity a glass of water and said. “I have to go out for a while I sent a
text to Gigi She’ll be here any second.”
Are you going to come back? Felicity asked, and her eyes were red Stella squeezed her hand and said.
I’ll call you. Sorry”
Downstairs, Keegan was staring at his watch. Only after thirteen minutes did Stella finally appear She
opened the car door and got in without any unnecessary movement. Keegan glanced at her and said, ”
You’re four minutes late.”
Stella suppressed her anger and questioned, “We’re the ones who got into a fight, Keegan. Why did you
have to bring other people into the equation? Why did you lodge that police report against her?”
Keegan was unhappy with how she was interrogating him. “Why don’t you ask her what she did?” he
said coldly.
