Darcie pondered before asking Keegan, "You went out for dinner with Jaylene. Did you have any

alcohol?"

Keegan answered, "I'm on medication, so I can't drink."

Darcie pressed, "Why didn't you persuade Jaylene not to drink so much? It's not good for a girl to get

drunk in public."

Stella felt a twinge of irritation when she listened to the conversation. She thought, 'Both mother and

daughter never reflect on their actions. They're always quick to blame others.'

Keegan said coolly, "Darcie, I did try to persuade her. But Jaylene is an adult now and can make her

own choices. If you see a problem with it, please warn her to stay away from me next time. It's also

troubling forme."

Darcie's expression soured.

Keegan was uninterested in prolonging the conversation, so he turned the phone's camera to show

Jaylene lying on the bed. she was neatly dressed but visibly sweating, with a cup of beverage for

hangover relief beside her.

Darcie attempted to call Jaylene through the phone, but she was too drowsy to respond.

Suddenly, Jaylene's phone rang. The caller was Wenham, her father.

Stella was perplexed, 'Isn't Darcie at home? Didn't Wenham know she was calling Keegan?'

Quickly, Stella grasped the situation; Darcie's call was a ploy. She had hardly ended the call when she

inquired about Jaylene's phone.

Stella thought while cursing inwardly, 'Damn, she's crafty!

Luckily, I set Jaylene's phone to 'silent.' If it had rung during the video call, Darcie would've known

something was off.'

Stella quietly left the room with Jaylene's phone, not wanting to cause any more trouble.

Keegan covered for her, saying, ì 've asked Aldor to go downstairs and find a charger.'

Darcie requested, "No need to charge the phone. Just sent Jaylene home for me."

Irked by her earlier comments, Keegan bluntly refused, "I can't right now. You should send someone for

her, Darcie. Frankly, I wasn't keen on having her here, so it's better if you come get her."

Darcie was not pleased, she thought, 'Ever since Keegan's divorce, I had Dahlia trying to match them.

But when the family acknowledged Stella again, I abandoned the idea. I've warned Jaylene about

Keegan, but she's infatuated, mistaking his indifference for affection. She's delusional! If Keegan had

any feelings for her, he wouldn't be speaking so sharply now. Perhaps it's time she faced reality.'

Without further argument, Darcie coldly asked for the address, she said she would arrive soon and

hung up.

Holding Jaylene's phone, Stella exhaled in relief. However, they were not out of the woods yet. she

remarked, " Her phone still has 80% battery, what should we do?"
