Jaylene was taken aback and quickly pulled her hand back.
With a stern face, she said, “You could’ve just said that from the beginning. Why did you have to bring me into that? Were you deliberately trying to make dad dislike me?”
Stella lifted her gaze at her, but she remained seated on the bench. Jaylene was standing, so theoretically, she should be looking down at Stella. However, the coldness in Stella’s eyes made her feel as though she was the one being looked down upon.
“You’re overthinking. I can’t predict what you’re going to say. If dad really dislikes you, you should reflect on yourself. He loves and pampers you. He taught you social relationships and understanding, yet you said that Mr. Clarkson’s death has nothing to do with our family. How could he not be mad? n Jaylene clenched her fists. “It was just an accident, and you were using it as an opportunity to make yourself look good in front of dad!”
Stella chuckled. “Isn’t repaying kindness with kindness a basic virtue? I didn’t know what I did would make you feel this way at all. Can I then assume that you saved Keegan just because you want to make yourself look good in front of him?”
Jaylene stiffened up all over. “You’re talking nonsense!
Stella Hall, I can’t believe how petty you are. You always find fault with me just because Keegan pays more attention to me after I saved him. There’s nothing you can do about this. Keegan still doesn’t remember you. You’re not that important to him.”
Stella calmly watched her losing control. Jaylene had never openly confronted her before.
Stella figured that Jaylene probably felt too wronged after being scolded by both Wenham and Darcie. She must have found it difficult to swallow her pride, so she came to verbally attack her.
Thus far, People regarded her as a refined young lady because they had never threatened her interests.
Suddenly, Stella saw a figure approaching from afar. Then, she stood up and slapped Jaylene across the face. “You’re the reason why he doesn’t remember me! He disappeared for just a month, so how could he be a completely different person when he came back? What did you do to him?”
Before Jaylene could even react, Stella slapped her again.
Jaylene was stunned. She raised her hand and was about to hit Stella back.
But, before she could land a slap on Stella’s face, she heard Keegan’s gnashing voice from behind.”
Stella Hall, what are you doing?”
Jaylene hesitated and quickly put her hand down. Then, she turned around with a tearful look and said, “Keegan…”
Keegan quickly walked over and saw the fresh red handprint on Jaylene’s face.
He then turned to Stella coldly and asked, “What did you do?”
Stella sneered. “Are you blind? I slapped her.”
Keegan was taken aback. “What? Don’t you think that what you did was wrong?”
Stella glared at him. “I slapped her because she deserves it. Keegan, have you never thought about why you would lose your memory even though your head wasn’t injured? Have you not considered that this might be Jaylene’s doing? So many people have tried searching for you for days and found nothing, yet she managed to locate you so quickly. Don’t you think that she might be in it with the kidnappers? Don’t you think she might have played a role in what happened to you?”
Jaylene was worried that Stella’s words would make Keegan suspicious, so she quickly cut her off. “Stella, I know that you’re anxious because Keegan can’t remember you, but you can’t accuse me without any proof. What could I possibly do to make Keegan forget you? Have you ever considered that he might not want to remember you himself?”
Stella retorted, “Shut up!”
“You’re the one who should shut up!”
Keegan spoke coldly.
Stella was taken aback, as she thought to herself, ‘What a scumbag! Why did you have to shout at me so loudly? Your acting skills are terrible!’ Despite what she was thinking, her eyes immediately reddened after Keegan shouted at her. With a hoarse voice, she spoke, “Keegan, what did you just say?”
