Stella thought she was dazzled. She waited for three seconds before turning on the light again. Immediately afterward, her eyes were blinded by the bright red banknotes all over the room.
The floor was covered with stacks of banknotes and was at least a dozen centimeters thick. It extended from the entrance to the entire living room. There was even a three dimensional pyramid piled up with gold bars on the coffee table.
Stella felt as if she had entered Rowan Steven’s house, a drama character who accepted bribes. If the police came to arrest her right now, she would be so frightened that her legs would be like jelly.
Keegan wrapped his arms around her waist from behind. He placed his chin on her shoulder and whispered, “Do you like it? These are all yours.”
Stella was speechless. ‘It’s not that I’m spineless. It’s true that a person who is perfectly sane and sensible while looking at a room full of banknotes and gold bars is a saint. However, I’m not a saint.’
‘Who is more generous, Trevor or me?”
Stella was left speechless. After the shock, she finally regained her sanity. She thought about Keegan texting someone on his phone in the elevator after they talked.
‘So, he was just preparing for this, right? Where did he withdraw so much money in the middle of the night? Does the bank belong to his family?’
Suddenly, Stella felt a little headache. She felt that Keegan was a little crazy, and it was even worse when he was drunk.
‘Just because I complained about him being stingy, so he prepared me so much money? Is he showing off his wealth?’
Seeing that Stella did not respond, Keegan was a little unhappy. He wrapped her more tightly and said, “I asked you a question. Trevor and me, who is more generous?”
Stella had no doubts that if she said that Trevor was more generous, he would bring a lot of money back for her that instant. Stella then had a headache. ‘If I knew about this, I would’ve stopped him when Trevor got him drunk just now. Who knew that he would play tricks when he was drunk?’
She said perfunctorily, “You’re more generous, okay?”
Keegan was finally satisfied. He took her hand and said, “Let the driver load it into the car. We’ll save it in your card.”
Stella quickly grabbed him and said, “Let’s do it tomorrow. It’s very late now.”
‘If the driver saw it, he might come up with something bad. He might silence the both of us. Being drunk not only messed him up, but it also made him lose his mind.’ Stella took out her phone and called Aldor. Aldor, who answered the phone quickly earlier, refused to pick up the call immediately.
Stella gritted her teeth and thought, ‘Aldor is such a smart man. He might have brought all this money here. But, how can he come and get it if Keegan didn’t say so?’
Stella could not get in touch with Aldor and was puzzled for a while.
‘Not to mention that Keegan is holding me without letting me go. Even if I can leave, I’m worried that a thief might come in the middle of the night and kill Keegan, who has so much money.
‘If I reach out to Cordelia, she might be shocked and may ask me a lot of questions. After all, I didn’t even say goodbye to her after the divorce. As for Dahlia…’ Stella paused for a while. Tm sure Dahlia will save all the money in the house on her card. Besides, she’ll humiliate me. So, I’ll never let Dahlia take advantage of it even though I have to burn all the money. Keegan, you bastard! You really know how to cause trouble for me!’
In the end, Stella called the driver and sent him away. She was thinking and worrying about what to do with the money while Keegan was still non-stop talking beside her.
Keegan was being noisy for a long time, and he started to feel a little sleepy. However, he seemed to realize that as soon as he fell asleep, Stella would disappear immediately
