Chapter 193

Stella did not lift her head. “Back then, I already have someone I like, so why waste other people’s time?”

Keegan froze. Then, his gaze involuntarily darkened.

“How’s this one?” Stella stood up.

She added, “Take a look. What do you think?”

Keegan lowered his gaze and glanced at it, “As expected of your aesthetic.”

Stella smiled. Just as she was about to take the credit, she heard the rude bastard casually finish the rest of his sentence. “It’s tasteless as usual.”

The smile on Stella’s face froze. She removed the cufflinks in irritation and returned them to the salesperson.

Keegan thought she would pick him a new pair. In the end, she leisurely went over to look at the diamonds.

After she looked at the rings, she looked at the necklaces. Once she finished looking at the necklaces, she looked at the bracelets. However, she just would not look at the cufflinks.

Keegan followed by her side. Finally, he could not help but ask, “Aren’t you buying me cufflinks?”

Stella finally had the chance to be sardonic.

“Mr. Kane, I don’t have good taste, so the things I choose aren’t good enough for you. So, forget about it.”

Keegan’s eye twitched.

“This woman. Her temper has been getting worse recently!’ he thought.

He pursed his lips. “Buy it. I can still bear with it and wear them.”

‘Hah! I showed you who’s the boss, but you still haven’t learned your lesson?!’ thought Stella.

She gave him a half smile and said, “Mr. Kane, wouldn’t that be a huge sacrifice for you? I’d feel really bad.”

gemstones in “It is a huge sacrifice. Otherwise…” Keegan paused and glanced at the row of front of him. Then, he smiled and added, “Buy me a diamond. Then, you won’t have to feel bad.”

Stella was speechless.

‘What kind of dog breed is Keegan?’ she thought.

Meanwhile, Sophia was standing nearby and staring in Stella’s direction with a dark expression.

At first, Sophia wanted to let Stella make a fool of herself, but she ended up making a fool out of herself instead. The young people in the wealthy circle were very realistic. Those who chatted and were friendly with her just now immediately scrambled away after Keegan and Stella left. They acted as if they wanted to avoid her.

Then, Sophia heard Albert’s voice.

“Stop making that expression of yours. Aren’t you embarrassed enough?”

Sophia clenched her fists. She was so furious that her lips were trembling.

Hylda frowned. “She’s already feeling upset. Why are you still lecturing her?”

Albert glanced at her unhappily.

“How many times have I told her not to have direct conflicts with Stella? But, when did she ever listen?

I reminded her time and time again to keep a low profile when she went to get the car. But, in the end, everyone still found out about it!”

Hylda looked unhappy. “How could you blame Sophia? If it wasn’t because Stella had scammed that 30 million from the Anne family, would we be in this state right now? Would you be humiliated by that girl from the Kane family because of such a small matter? Sophia just wanted to avenge you. Who would’ve thought that Keegan would come? Besides, she and Keegan were working together when they got you to buy that bracelet just now. Couldn’t you tell that they were doing it on purpose?”

‘How could I not? But, I have no choice but to buy her the bracelet just now. I obviously also have my own considerations. Even though Keegan barely spoke, the way he was standing there clearly showed that he was there to back Stella up. Apart from that, my investment in Semiconductor Technology has been really successful. Looking at it now, this might be because Keegan is doing this for Stella’s sake.

Keegan caring about Stella is definitely a great advantage for me, so a bracelet is nothing,’ he thought.

Albert said in a low voice, “Avenge me? Do you think I don’t know what she was thinking? You made her this way. She loves being in the limelight for everything. In the future, don’t bring this matter up again. Take some time to reflect upon this incident.”

Then, he turned around and left.

Sophia had an awful expression.

Hylda glanced at her and sighed, “That’s enough. Don’t be too hasty. If you can’t stay calm, you’ll remain under her feet for the rest of your life.”
