Chapter 278
After that, Rainee got into an accident, and Stella got married to Keegan right after she graduated. She came from such a
prestigious university, yet she became a housewife instead. So, her relatives took the chance to get their revenge.
One of Stella’s cousins scored higher than the minimum score required to get into Calton University. Calton University was
second only to Trinity University and was one of the leading universities.
Her relatives brought it up during a gathering, and one mentioned what happened when they were young. That person said
Stella was very good at studying, yet he used her as an example to tell the children there that it was no use for a girl to be so
knowledgeable because she would end up being a housewife if she did not have a broad vision.
One could already imagine how furious Stella felt at that time.
She lost all her appetite after reminding herself of those people.
Keegan was already waiting in the car when Stella finished changing.
Keegan drove a Lincoln that day. He rarely drove that car.
Aldor could tell how confused Stella was, so he explained, “There’s a bed in this car, and it’ll be more comfortable for an older
person to sit on.”
‘How thoughtful.’
Stella looked at Keegan.
‘I’m sure that this isn’t his idea.”
“Get in now.”
Keegan urged Stella before she got inside.
He drove out of the neighborhood and asked Stella, “What have you been doing these days? Why do you leave the house so
early and come back so late?”
“Work, of course. Didn’t you see how popular Jurisdiction is? The director likes me very much. and wants me to be in a few more
episodes.”
Aldor got interested when Stella mentioned Jurisdiction.
“My mom has been watching this show too. She was frightened after the first episode, especially by the part you acted in. She
told me that the actor looked so good. I said that you’re a girl and she didn’t believe me. She only started complaining that the
actress in the second. episode didn’t look as good as the one in the first. The second actress just couldn’t act as well as you.
She even learned how to surf the internet just to comment that she wants to see you in the show again on the official Facebook
page of Jurisdiction. She isn’t very good with spelling, and she even accidentally typed some banned words that got her account
suspended. So, she’s wondering if she should just call the TV station now.”
“Your mom’s so interesting.” Stella smiled and said, “This isn’t a drama. We can’t keep using the same cast.”
“She doesn’t understand. She’s just watching it as if it’s a drama. Not only someone her age,
but my co-workers and I would watch it too during our break time. Even Mr. Kane watches it.”
Keegan kept quiet.
Stella gazed at Keegan. Then, she leaned closer to him and asked, “How was my acting? Did I embarrass you?”
She was breathing just a few inches away from him, and Keegan suddenly remembered how she looked when she held a knife
against that man’s chin.
She was so crazy and alluring. There was just something about her that could not be described in words.
Keegan gulped. Then, he looked away and said flatly, “It was fine.”
Stella’s lip curled. “It’s so difficult to hear you praise someone.”
Keegan looked a little annoyed. “Actually... it was pretty good,” he said after some time.
After not getting a response from Stella, he turned his head and looked at her, only to find. that she already had her headphones
on and was resting with her eyes closed.
Unfortunately, Stella could not hear the compliment that he had spent so much time working himself up to say.
Keegan got upset.
Aldor had a hard time holding his laughter back, so he turned up the radio’s volume to protect his boss’ dignity.
In the Jewell Residence, everyone in the family already knew that Sophia got accepted by the Vinci Rivera Group.
All the relatives gathered together because Stella’s great-grandfather was discharged, so they talked about it.
The Vinci Rivera group was known by almost everyone in the country. Not only was Sophia a part of such a famous enterprise,
but she also became the spokesperson for a project.
Lydia Night, one of Stella’s relatives, wanted to take this chance and brag about how her son passed an interview. Yet, Sophia
took the spotlight away from her.
