Chapter 99
Everyone showed expressions of agreement regardless of what they thought.
Stella consulted her with an earnest expression. “But, what if the man made a principle–based mistake? For example, he has an
affair and gets some woman pregnant, and the woman comes to you and challenges you. How do you think this situation should
be handled?”
After Stella spoke, Mrs. Chapman’s expression changed. Meanwhile, Bella also became pale and looked panicked.
Mrs. Chapman pursed her lips and asked with a stiff expression, “Did you experience such a thing, Mrs. Kane?”
Her words were incredibly blunt. Obviously, this was also something the crowd was very
curious about.
Stella steadily took a sip of her juice. Finally, she spoke, “It’s a friend of mine. Her husband had an affair, and that woman got
pregnant. However, my friend did not want to get divorced, so she went to find that woman and negotiated with her. She wanted
the woman to abort the baby and leave her husband. The woman agreed and asked for one million dollars. She said she’ll abort
the child once she got the money. However, my friend is a stay–at–home mother and doesn’t have much savings, so she
borrowed money from me a few days ago. I’m not sure if I should lend her the money.”
She continued, “Personally, I disagree with her approach. Nevertheless, I don’t seem to have a better solution. Since you’re
knowledgeable and experienced, I’m asking you in my friend’s stead. How do you think it should be handled if you were faced
with this situation?”
Hearing Stella finish her sentence, Bella breathed a sigh of relief. However, Mrs. Chapman’s expression had completely
darkened.
“I don’t have experience in these things. You’ve asked the wrong person, Mrs. Kane,” she said stiffly.
Stella hurriedly said, “Don’t be angry, Mrs. Chapman. I’m not saying that Mr. Chapman did anything. I just thought you’ve been
through this and should have a good way to handle such things.”
Mrs. Chapman was so furious that she had turned red. However, she could not act on her anger.
She gritted her teeth and said icily, “I’m not angry. It’s just I’m genuinely unable to answer your question. Excuse me, ladies. I
need to go to the washroom.”
Stella watched as Mrs. Chapman hastily left.
She smiled and loudly said, “Let’s play Mah–Jongg when you’re free, Mrs. Chapman.”
Mrs. Chapman froze momentarily. Then, she quickened her pace and left in her leather flats.
Stella narrowed her eyes, and the corner of her lips unnoticeably twisted upward. While she was gloating, Keegan’s voice
sounded behind her. “What did you talk about that made you this happy?”
Stella’s smile instantly faltered.
“Nothing,” she said coolly.
On the other hand, the ladies were incredibly friendly to Keegan. It only took them a few sentences to tell him about the
conversation earlier.
Keegan then glanced at Stella.
‘I didn’t know she has a married friend whose husband had an affair?‘ he thought.
“You lent that friend money?”
‘Lent, my ass! It was a story I made up on the spot!‘ she thought.
Stella glanced at him and said, “I wanted to, but I didn’t have enough.”
“I can pay you in advance.”
‘Is he that kind?‘ she wondered.
“Under what condition?”
She wanted to know what Keegan was thinking.
Keegan lowered his gaze and said in a husky voice, “Give me a kiss.”
