Chapter 337

Stella stopped walking and turned around abruptly “What did you say?”

Aurora lifted the edge of her mouth into a smirk. “I was saying that scamming money runs in the Jewell blood. However, your aunt is much more honest than all of you.”

A call came, so she answered her phone as she walked outside. “Where are we meeting tonight? The Dawn again? Fine I’ll see you there tonight Stella’s gaze darkened as she watched Aurora’s receding back.

Keegan hired a caretaker dedicated to taking care of Arthur alone, Stella stayed in the ward for a while before saying she had something to do on set and left Keegan sat in the ward as he peeled an orange for Arthur.

Arthur did not have much of an appetite. He said in a low voice, “You should go back too. Stella isn’t feeling very happy today. Why don’t you go home and spend some time with her?”

Remembering how she had looked at him just now, Keegan felt very uncomfortable.

So, he replied softly, “I’ll leave after you eat two more slices of this.”

Arthur immediately grabbed two orange slices and stuffed them into his mouth. Then, he waved his hand at Keegan. “Chop, chop. I need to get some sleep now.”

Keegan gave the caretaker his number and left the hospital.

Aldor was already waiting for him downstairs. As soon as Keegan got into the car, Aldor asked, “Where to, Mr. Kane?”

“The set of Jurisdiction.”

Aldor steered the car and took them there.

While sitting in the car, Keegan took a bank card that Arthur gave him out of his pocket.

Arthur told him that it was a gift to Stella for her marriage.

He also told Keegan that Stella could only be taken seriously in her new family by having that.

The fact that Arthur thought like that surprised Keegan.

Suddenly, Keegan’s grip on the bank card tightened as he thought about what Aurora had said in the surveillance footage. Then, he looked up and said, “Terminate all of Aurora’s debit and credit cards.

Also, notify the finance department not to approve any of their cash withdrawals from the company other than the quarterly dividends!”

Aldor was shocked.

Clearly, Keegan was not just talking about Aurora, but Dahlia too.

Dahlia and Aurora’s expenses depended fully on the quarterly dividends, and they would only receive an average of less than one million every month because of the company’s performance. It was far from enough to maintain their extravagant lifestyle.

Dahlia started withdrawing money from the company’s account every month after Keegan took over the office, and the amount would always be five million Keegan hated inconvenience. He eventually gave in to Dahlia’s actions after he got into a fight with her because of money. So, every time Dahlia made her regular withdrawal, he would transfer five million to the company from his personal account It had been going on for many years. The five million was the main source to support Dahlia and Aurora’s extravagant lifestyle. Because of what happened to Arthur, Keegan wanted to cut off their allowance and it would undoubtedly cause a huge scene.

‘It looks like Mr. Kane is really angry’

Only a few people were cleaning the set when they arrived at their destination, and Stella was nowhere to be found.

Aldor approached them and asked them if they knew where Stella was, yet they mistook him for Stella’s fan and told him that Stella did not come to work that day.

Aldor paused. Then, he immediately turned back and told Keegan about it.

“Did you say that she did not come to work?”

“That’s what the workers told me. They’ve kept all the filming equipment too.’

Keegan frowned. Then, he reached for his phone and dialed Stella’s number.

Stella was sitting in a car while staring at the pub on the opposite side of the street.

Seeing the incoming call, she emotionlessly put her phone on silent mode.

Keegan could not help but frown harder after the call failed to connect.

In The Dawn, Aurora’s friend could not help but laugh after hearing what Aurora told then.

“I thought there was more to it! Is that it?”

“That old man could really take a fall. Is he really fine?”

“Didn’t you hear what Aurora said? He had an epileptic seizure. It had nothing to do with Aurora at all.”

“The Jewells didn’t dare stand up for themselves at all just because of money. What a bunch of pussies!”

“Your brother has so much to offer. Why would he choose Stella Jewell?”

Aurora scoffed after sipping on her alcohol. “That’s because she has the face of a fox. All men are the same. If you looked like her, I would persuade my brother to marry you right away.” “Tsk. Do you think she’s better-looking than me?”

Another friend added, “Even though I don’t like Stella, I’m not blind. She’s a lot prettier than you. You should get another plastic surgery.”

Everyone laughed, and the atmosphere was very cheerful.

Aurora stood up and said tipsily after finishing her drink, “You guys carry on. I need to use the washroom.”

One of the guys followed her. “I’ll go with you.”

“Are you going to the ladies’ room too?” Aurora kicked his leg. “Get lost.”

Then, she stumbled her way to the washroom.

“Dale, just give up. Aurora already has somebody else in mind.”

Dale swept his gaze across everybody there. “I have a chance. She isn’t married yet.”

Aurora exited the toilet stall and washed her face at the sink.

Suddenly, somebody patted her shoulder. She turned around and saw somebody trying to cover her face with a towel.

She sobered up for a bit as she widened her eyes in fear. She tried her best to break free.

However, she inhaled too much of the drug on the cloth, making her lose all her strength. Then, she passed out after a few seconds.

“I didn’t drink at all. I was sending one of my clients back.”

While sitting in the car, Trevor was telling his sister where he went over the phone.

“Why won’t you just believe me? Do you really think that I’m a liar?”

Trevor chuckled after his sister said something to him. “Sure, feel free to inspect me later.” He looked out of the widow absentmindedly as he spoke, and he was stunned by what he saw. There were two people carrying a passed-out lady into a black SUV. The window was not fully rolled up, so he could see a woman wearing a hoodie inside. That woman turned around and said something, and Trevor was shocked after he saw her face.

It was Stella.
