Chapter 1691

Keegan spun his wheelchair around to face the people in the room, “Apologies for taking up everyone’s time. We’ve witnessed quite the spectacle today.

Regardless, I want to thank each of you for supporting my family during my absence. Your support means a lot. I wasn’t fully prepared for today’s event.

However, I plan to express my gratitude once I recover.”

His words clearly indicated that the guests were now free to leave. Being a group of wise individuals, they offered words of comfort and began to make their exit.

At that moment, Chandler spoke up, “Keegan, since we’re all here today, why not take advantage of this opportunity to introduce Coco to everyone? This will help prevent any future misunderstandings or rumors that might harm the child.”

Chandler’s intentions were far from benevolent.

Keegan, having brought the police to take Jackson away upon his return, was not one to tolerate this humiliation.

Chandler intended to use Coco to overturn Keegan’s previous will and create a rift between Keegan and the Saun family. He aimed for this approach because he recognized the heightened difficulty of dealing with Keegan when the Sauns supported him.

Coco was being very cooperative by calling Keegan “Daddy.”

Keegan hesitated before extending his arms. Coco rushed over and hugged him, saying, “Daddy, where did you go? They said you weren’t coming back, and I thought you didn’t want me anymore.”

The two of them displayed a close relationship.

Stella clenched her fists and stared at Keegan, wanting to teach him a lesson if he admitted that Coco was his daughter.

Keegan ran his fingers through Coco’s hair and asked, “What should you call me?”

Coco stuck her tongue out and replied, “Uncle Keegan.”

Keegan looked at his uncle and said, “Uncle Chandler, it’s surprising that you took the trouble to find her. I did intend to adopt Coco; however, I don’t meet the qualifications. So now, I am currently acting as her temporary guardian. I am not her father.”

He lifted Coco onto his lap, grabbed her chin, and faced the people, “We don’t even look alike. How did this misunderstanding come about?”

Felicity felt that Keegan was doing this to establish to Stella that he did not have a child with another woman.

Chandler didn’t believe it, “I understand you may be refraining from admitting it because of concerns for Stella’s reaction, but the child is all grown up now. Plus, it’s not like you betrayed your marriage. I’m sure Stella would understand.”

“Stella?” Keegan paused and furrowed his brows, looking puzzled. “Are you talking about my ex-wife?

We’re divorced, and my matters have nothing to do with her. I don’t need her understanding.”

Stella’s expression stiffened as she gazed at Keegan in disbelief.

He continued, “Nevertheless, Coco isn’t my daughter. She’s an orphan. Her father was a classmate of mine who tragically lost his life in a firefighting accident, and her mother passed away shortly after giving birth to her. The elderly person who raised her passed away a couple of years ago. They sought my assistance and entrusted Coco to me on their deathbed. Did you not investigate her background when you located her, Uncle Chandler?”

“Well, then why would she call you ‘Dad’?” Chandler asked with a cold expression.

“Mmm…”

Just as Chandler thought Keegan had no response, Keegan sighed and said, “It’s my fault for not educating her well. She’s a bit unclear about the concept.

She tends to call any attractive man ‘daddy’ when she sees them.”

Following that, he pointed at Vermont and said, “Coco, what do you call him?”

“Daddy!” Coco called out in a sweet tone.

Vermont was taken aback.

Keegan then randomly pointed to Trevor and asked, “What about him?”

Coco’s eyes lit up, “Daddy!”

Her reaction rendered Trevor speechless.

Vermont then decided to say, “Coco, that’s your uncle. You also have another uncle who is a big celebrity.”
