Chapter 89

[She’s not what you guys think. She is a straightforward person. She plasters everything on her face.

You can literally look right through her.] Marshall texted in the group chat.

Vermont’s curiosity grew even more prominent. [What kind of magical powers does this woman hold that made you give her high praises after only meeting a few times? I must have a look at this woman to see if everything you said is true. Could she really be as magnificent as you say she is?]

[Don’t scare her.] Marshall replied.

“Tsk,” Vermont let out a sneer. [Why are you still so petty? I just want to have a look.]

[Did I ever stop you from looking at anything before?] Marshall asked.

Before Vermont could answer, Keegan interjected the conversation. [Probably you being naked.]

Both Vermont and Marshall were speechless. [Vermont told me that when you guys were kids, everyone would compete in shooting their pee the furthest. Yet, you covered up like a little girl. So… I guess he’s been curious all this time.]

Marshall was quiet for a while. [Vermont, do you… like guys?]

[Don’t listen to him! I like girls, okay?!] Vermont had no choice but to eat his own words. He then quickly changed the subject. (Aurora dolled up just for you, you know. I’m afraid she’d be furious if she saw you bringing someone else.]

Marshall had a headache whenever anyone mentioned Aurora. [I’m way too old for her. She’s like a younger sister to me. Surely, she’ll acknowledge this sooner or later when I marry the woman I like.]

“Look who decided to show up!” As soon as Keegan arrived at the charity event, Vermont greeted him with a drink. “My ears will fall off if I hear one more of those speeches.”

Keegan grabbed the glass of alcohol that Vermont had handed to him and started to scan around the room. A celebrity sang on stage while the crowd danced around under the dim light. However, Keegan did not see her.

“Who are you looking for?” Vermont asked.

“Stella. Did you see her?” Keegan replied, as he sipped from his glass.

“I didn’t even know she was here.”

Keegan frowned. “Didn’t she come in here with Aurora?”

“No. Aurora was alone when I saw her. I thought you left her at home.”

Keegan pursed his lips and put down his wine glass. He grabbed his phone and dialed Stella’s number He called her five times, but she did not pick up. It was as if she had disappeared from the world.

Keegan saw Aurora not far away and started walking toward her. Aurora was surrounded by a group of celebrities. She was enjoying her time, but when she saw Keegan, her face tensed up. She tried her best to act naturally and deny whatever allegations he would throw at her.

“Keegan, there you are. Let me introduce you to my friends.” She stepped forward and held Keegan by the arm while the girls around her looked at Keegan with anticipation.

Keegan pushed her hand away and calmly said, “Come with me for a bit. I have something to ask you Although Aurora was reluctant to follow him, she still obeyed “What’s up, Keegan? My friends are waiting for me Keegan cut to the chase and asked, “Where’s Stella? She came with you, didn’t she? Where is she?”
