Jaylene dismissed Aurora’s claims, finding them more reflective of Dahlia’s opinions of Stella.
She smiled and commented, “You’re reading too much into it. Stella genuinely cares about Keegan’s well-being. Growing up in the Jewell family, surrounded by individuals like Albert, whose character is questionable, may have shaped her demeanor. And Keegan, well, he’s quite straightforward. Disagreements are bound to happen.”
Aurora scoffed at the mention of the Jewell family. “She certainly learned a lot from Albert’s never- ending greed.”
Without delving deeper into the conversation, Jaylene asked, “Aurora, I heard you’re living in Keegan’s house now. Is that true?”
Aurora nodded. “If Stella can help my brother regain his memory, then so can I. If she’s living there, I’ll be there too. I need to keep a close watch on her and prevent any chance of her trying to reignite old feelings with my brother.”
Jaylene chuckled, “You’re such a child.”
Aurora took her hand and said, “Jaylene, while my brother is intoxicated, do you see an opportunity here to get close to him? Keegan is an honest man. If a relationship develops between you two, he’ll surely take responsibility. I bet Stella will have to keep her distance if anything happens.”
A blush tinged Jaylene’s cheeks as she gently patted
Aurora’s hand, chastising her in a hushed tone, “Stop talking nonsense.”
Aurora shrugged, “I was just joking. If Keegan decides to investigate, he’ll find out who did it, especially with surveillance everywhere nowadays. I don’t want to end up back in prison.”
Jaylene’s mind settled slightly. Aurora was right about the omnipresent surveillance cameras. If someone probed the incident, the truth would surface.
‘This approach is too risky.’
Jaylene was a little glad that Aurora got into the car. It dispelled the unrealistic fantasies she had harbored earlier. Knowing that Keegan wasn’t committed to Stella, she felt no immediate sense of urgency to step in.Books Chapters Are Daily Updated Join & Stay Updated For All Books Updates…
However, the decrease in their interactions left her somewhat anxious. “Aurora, has your brother remembered Stella at all?”
Aurora coldly sneered, “If he ever regains his memories, the first thing he would do is kick me out of Royalpark Villa. I hope he never remembers.”
Jaylene breathed a sigh of relief and pulled out a bottle of medicine from her bag, “Aurora, this is the medicine Dr.
Stone prescribed for Keegan. I got it from abroad through a friend. You should hold onto it and have him take it according to his previous dosage when he wakes up.”
Aurora took the medication and said, “Jaylene, you’re so good to my brother. I truly don’t know what he saw in Stella.”
Jaylene lowered her eyes and smiled without saying anything. Though, her gaze looked somewhat disdainful.
Initially, Jaylene planned to send Keegan back to Royalpark Villa. However, Aurora said that she could drop them off at the intersection.
“The driver is on his way. Stella has been suspicious of my brother. I’m afraid she’ll complain to Grandma if you go in with us. Grandma is getting older and tends to believe whatever Stella tells her.”
She continued, “At the same time, your dad has been worried that Stella might not settle well into our family, so he frequently visits Grandma. I’m concerned that he might misinterpret the situation if he overhears any of Stella’s grievances.”
Jaylene understood Aurora’s opinion. Wenham had indeed been visiting the Kane family often lately, causing her to be worried and eager to see Keegan.
She felt considerably relieved, knowing that Keegan’s attitude toward her remained unchanged and with Aurora confirming the poor relationship between him and Stella.
“Alright,” she said, passing her coat to Aurora. “Take this. It’s cold outside.”
Aurora was deeply touched, her eyes turning red. Gratefully, she took the coat, her voice hoarse, “Jaylene, besides my mom, you’ve been the kindest person to me.”
Jaylene smiled and comforted her with a couple of words.
She then gave her a gift that was originally intended for Darcie.
Soon, the Kane family’s driver arrived. He stepped out and assisted Keegan into the car alongside Aurora.
Jaylene bid them farewell through the lowered window as they drove away. Then, she averted her gaze, tossed out the water bottle Aurora had used, and remarked, “Let’s go.”
“How irresponsible!” Felicity cursed fiercely.
Vermont patted her head and said, “Are you reassured now?”
Felicity got out, poured out the water bottle, and threw it in the trash bin. She then ran back to the car and said, “Take me home.” “Sure,” Vermont chuckled softly.
