Chapter 242

Stella suppressed the disgust she felt within and answered perfunctorily. Then, she turned around and went to search for Keegan.

Jackson followed Stella at an unhurried pace.

“It’s said that you can see if a person is beautiful when they wear plain clothes; it turns out the saying is true,” he said in a degrading tone as he glanced at Stella’s chest.

Then, he narrowed his eyes and said in a low voice, “It’s my first time seeing someone make a white blouse look this sexy.”

Jackson’s gaze made Stella’s hairs stand on end. Then, in a low voice, Stella suppressed her anger and said, “Jackson, Keegan is here. You better stay away from me.”

Jackson chuckled, “Do you think he cares?”

His words hit Stella where it hurt. She clenched her fists and pursed her lips in silence.

Jackson’s smile grew wider, “I heard Keegan’s gotten really close with a celebrity recently. You’re such a beauty; Keegan doesn’t know how blessed he is. Even I feel bad for you.”

He said as he walked closer to Stella. Then, just as his hand was about to touch Stella’s arm, she suddenly said icily, “It seems like you haven’t matured at all after these days.”

Jackson clenched his fists as his expression darkened.

“The previous incident caused a huge fuss. Not only did we lose a few of my father’s trusted subordinates, but I also faced quite a hard time because of it. At that place, nobody treated me like I was a young master of the Kane family; I had to do all the dirty and hard work myself. I grew up pampered, so how could I handle such suffering? After a few days, I badgered them to let me return, but grandma was too ruthless. Not only did she freeze my card and take away my car, she even confiscated my documents. I was up the creek without a paddle, and this was all thanks to Keegan,’ he thought.

Stella wanted to walk away and leave.

Behind her, Jackson said indifferently, “Stella, haven’t you ever wondered why you can’t get pregnant?”

Stella froze. She turned to him, “What do you mean?”

Jackson smiled.

“Nothing. Don’t be too trusting toward the people of the Kane family.”

Before Stella could ask more questions, Jackson walked away. Then, she heard Keegan’s voice behind her, “What were you chatting about with him?”
