Chapter 95

Keegan recognized the man as someone who had just been introduced to him. A twenty–something–

year- old who co–founded an up–and–coming internet enterprise with a modest bit of his family’s funding. The company seemed to have good momentum too.

Keegan walked toward them with a long face. The young man saw Keegan and greeted him with a smile, ” Mr Kane Keegan remained composed, making it hard for people to see through him. He asked calmly. “What were you talking about?”

“Oh, it’s nothing.” The man laughed. “We were classmates in the past, so we were just catching up.”

“Classmates?” Keegan asked while staring at Stella. The man thought that Keegan was referring to him and explained, “This is Ms. Stella Jewell, my high school classmate. We haven’t been in touch for a long time. I didn’t expect to run into her here. Stella, this is Mr. Kane from The Vinci Rivera Group.

Stella was speechless. This classmate of hers was enthusiastic but senseless. The next moment, Keegan smirked, “I can see that you’ve not been in touch for a while.”

The man was startled to see Keegan putting his arm around Stella’s waist. Keegan slowly looked at him. and gently said, “He doesn’t even know you’re married.”

Keegan, that little shit, must have mastered how to lie,‘ thought Stella. Stella thought that she was already a good liar, but she willingly admitted defeat to him. Her classmate was taken aback by the sudden information and paused for a moment. “You’re married?”

The news of Stella and her mother’s car accident was a big deal at that time, and it even went into the headlines. A private car and a taxi collided, causing two deaths and three injured. The taxi driver and the passenger died on the spot, while the other passenger was heavily injured. Stella’s mother was saved but was in a constant vegetative state; forever asleep. Stella had the lightest injury in the accident. Until this day, her stomach could not help but churn when she thought about the accursed car accident.

Keegan propped her fingers apart and interlocked them with his. Stella looked up at him with a strange look. Keegan did not look back at her and said, “I heard that Mr. Lauren’s parents are in the catering industry.”

The man was delighted that Keegan took the initiative to talk, so he enthusiastically chatted with him.

Keegan rarely talked to strangers. The people around him noticed them chatting and slowly gathered around him. It was impossible to talk about business on such occasions. The main focus was to get acquainted with people.

Although the ladies talked about more boring topics; topics such as the opening of a new Japanese restaurant, the best teatime in the streets, or they would show off their husband’s families. Their lives seemed to live within their husband’s social circle.

Come to think of it, I’m the same, too, Stella thought. Just as she was starting to imagine things, she heard a female voice ring. “Keegan ”
