Chapter 168
Stella pushed his hand away and said, “You still remember that you’re my dad? If you could believe in
the words of strangers, why couldn’t you believe in the words of your own daughter? If I had said I had
sent the item, I would have already sent it. If you suffered humiliation from Dahlia, what makes you think
you can throw them back at me?”
Albert did not believe her statement at all. “If she did receive the item, why would she have told me she
didn’t get it? Previously, we told you to mention the project at Cavalry City to Keegan, and you keep
putting it off. Did you think that by having Keegan as your patron, the Jewell family would be pointless to
you? Did you assume the wind would sweep away the yearly payment of millions of dollars for your
mother’s hospital bills? In the end, who were these things I told you to do for? If the Jewell family can’t
stand on its own two feet, do you think the Kane family would still respect you?!”
Albert spoke with so much grandiose as if the things he did were done for the sake of Stella and her
mother.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt‘Does he think that the money and status he acquired through this means would make the Kane family
think highly of him? The Kane family would only despise him more!’ Stella thought.
“I have already said this. I have already sent the item. If you don’t believe me, then it would be
unnecessary for you to entrust me with any task in the future. In terms of ass kissing, I am definitely not
as skilled as you are,” Stella retorted.
“You…” Albert’s anger flared up again. At the same time, a few people walked out into the balcony. He
abruptly suppressed the words he was about to spit back.
Stella, on the other hand, just left.
In the sick ward, Vermont mentioned the recent incident of Stella crying due to having someone else
mistaken for Keegan’s funeral. He was rolling on the floor laughing.
Keegan furrowed his brows and said, “That’s quite enough.”
Vermont withheld his laughter and teased Keegan, “You are now considered to have fully experienced
having someone crying at your funeral. How do you feel?”
“Not bad.” Keegan glanced at him. “When you die, there might not be anyone who would genuinely cry
for
you at your funeral.”

Vermont was speechless and was suddenly unable to laugh anymore. Forget funerals. The last time he
had an IV drip for a fever, he posted a picture to his social media. As a result, he had a group of his ex-
girlfriends comment on it, saying: ‘He had it coming!’
“Is there any news from the police?” Keegan asked, going back to more serious matters.
“Initially, the guy they caught still argued and denied it. Once the surveillance tapes were shown, he
admitted to everything. Including the incident last night, it was the third one this year. Those two
bastards!”
The two of them were repeat offenders. According to their confession, the first time that both of them had
done this was last year. Two of them met a drunk girl at a bar. Seeing that the girl was alone, they
brought her to the hotel to be raped. After they had their way, they dumped
her in a secluded area with no surveillance. They went through a month on pins and needles and found

drunk girls.
However, single ladies who were drunk at night were few, and they were afraid that they would be
recognized when the girls sobered up from their drunkenness. Hence, they bought illegal drugs to lure
the girl into their trap. These two scumbags were sure that the ladies would not report to the police due
to their humiliation or the threat of public opinion. Thus, their modus operandi grew more outrageous.
The consequences would have been grievous if they had been late by just a few minutes last night.
Vermont could still remember Stella’s expression when Keegan carried her out. It was the first time he
saw Keegan’s poker face shatter. Thinking of this, he gave a playful smirk. “If Stella was really in trouble
last night, would you have divorced her?”
Keegan’s movements froze. Then he gave Vermont a cold sidelong glance. “I would’ve killed you.”
Vermont had no words to say and could only reply, “How could you blame me? I’ve seen the both of you
give each other the silent treatment for so long. I helped you both nurture your relationship from the
kindness of my heart. Who knew those two maggots would appear?”
