Chapter 323

Keegan did not know what Jackson and Stella were talking about, so he asked her about their little chat when they were upstairs. Cordelia and Chandler were discussing some business in the study while Cyrene was still sour about the birthday banquet, as Dahlia was not backing down. Keegan was tired of it, so he found an excuse to leave and went to see Stella.

As soon as he arrived, he saw Jackson standing before her. He had no idea what Jackson had said, but Stella’s expression was ugly and sullen, like the time in Vinci Rivera.

Stella did not bother to hide her dislike for Jackson. “We were just joking around. That’s all,’ she said, not wanting to elaborate. In fact, she did not know how she should explain what happened because it involved Aurora and Dahlia.

When they got married, Keegan left Stella at the wedding while he went elsewhere. Everybody started giving rounds of toasts to her until Zane saved her. However, she still had quite a bit to drink.

Stella was feeling a little dizzy when she got home. Aurora and the servant helped her to her room.

Stella was in her early twenties, but her husband was with another woman on their wedding night. She could not help but feel wronged no matter how hard she tried.

When she returned to the room, she did not change out of her clothes. Instead, she cried for hours and fell asleep after that. While she was asleep, someone came on top of her and started groping her non-

stop. The person’s force was so great that she woke up in pain.

The light in the room was very dim, and Stella had drunk a lot of wine. So, her vision was blurry, and she thought the person was Keegan. The grievances she felt that night surged up abruptly. She wrapped her hands over the person’s shoulders and complained about it in a low voice.

The man grabbed her chin and gasped, “I thought you only had a pretty face. I didn’t expect you to have such a good figure too. No wonder Keegan insisted on marrying you.”

The unfamiliar voice instantly made Stella’s hair stand. It was not who she thought it was. With a pale face, Stella struggled to get away desperately.

But, Jackson covered her mouth, squinted his eyes, and said, “You are quite the amorous woman, huh? You came to my room on your wedding night. What kind of chaste woman are you pretending to be? Since Keegan is not here, as his brother, I should serve you well, my dearest sister-in-law.”

He then got up again as he spoke.

Stella’s face was bloodless. Seeing that Jackson was about to tear off her clothes, she grabbed something in a panic and threw it at his head.

Jackson was in pain. He held his head and started cursing while letting go of her hand. Stella had a chance to escape. She stumbled and ran out of the room, calling for help.

Dahlia rushed over upon hearing the sound and immediately pulled them over for an interrogation when she saw the situation.

Jackson’s head was injured, and his hands were covered in blood. He insisted that Stella had willingly entered his room, and he thought she was the woman he had brought back from the wedding. He also added that the light in the room was very dim, and he had a lot to drink, so he did not know that it was Stella.

Stella’s face went pale. She explained that she was tipsy, and Aurora helped her into the room. She also mentioned that she did not know it was Jackson’s room. Aurora then denied it. She insisted that she had helped Stella into Keegan’s room and that a servant could testify on her behalf. She even stabbed Stella in the back by saying she had gone to the wrong room by herself. And, she blamed her for it because she was afraid of being reprimanded.

Stella had a good alcohol tolerance. Although she did drink a lot on her wedding night, she was not completely drunk. She was sure she would have known if she got up and entered Jackson’s room by herself.
