Chapter 96
Stella wiped off the smile on her face and looked toward the sound. Bella wore a blue rhinestone dress
and was walking in her direction. Her appearance was bejeweled, and her makeup was glamorous. Both
her expression and posture were composed. As one of the most famous actresses of today, she truly
deserved the stature of a celebrity.
Usually, the ladies‘ would, at most, have mere acquaintances with these young actresses. They would
not care too much as it was frequent to see celebrities during these events. But, the way she called
Keegan’s name was too intimate, so they could not help but probe. The rumors about Keegan and the
famous actress Bella were widely spread. However, there was no news about it soon after, so everyone
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtthought that it was just a publicity stunt. Seeing that Bella called Keegan in such an intimate way in front
of his wife seemed to make the news to be more than just hype.
The nature of humans was to gossip, and it was the same for all social circles. The crowd was secretly
paying attention to Keegan and Stella’s reactions. Surprisingly, they reacted coldly. Stella paused a slight
moment when she heard Bella calling Keegan’s name. She then proceeded to sip the juice in her hand
as if the person who came was insignificant. While Keegan was even more indifferent, he did not pay
any attention and only glanced at Bella.
Stella sneered in her heart, ‘This shit does know how to pretend.‘
Bella felt slightly awkward, but she soon returned to her natural self. “Mr. and Mrs. Kane, what a
coincidence.”
Stella nodded faintly in response. Due to the crowd present, Keegan casually asked, “Why are you
here?”
Stella scorned his action. ‘Didn’t he hurriedly run away after picking up his ‘babe’s‘ phone call? Why
should he pretend to be innocent here?‘
Bella had a dazzling smile, and her voice was gentle and soft. “I’m the celebrity guest for today’s charity
performance.”
The event did have some celebrities come over for a charity performance, but it was usually a temporary
secondment found by the host’s company. They were not famous; some were even students who had
not graduated from art school, mainly coming over to light up the scene. That was because the people
attending the event were of special status. The host would never take the initiative to invite Bella to

how she got in there.
Keegan did not reply to her. He seemed to pay no attention to her as several young men came over to
toast with him. Bella flicked a glance at Stella and handed her a cocktail, “Mrs. Kane, try this drink. It’s
really good.”
Stella looked up and rejected. “No thanks, I don’t drink.”
This was nonsense since Stella loved to drink sweet wine such as cocktails, wine, and cider, even
though she could not handle liquor too well. On the contrary, Keegan, who often socialized, did not like to
drink much.
“You don’t drink?” Bella froze and probed, “Are you pregnant?”
Stella stiffened, and her words hit Stella close to home. The wife was not pregnant, but the
mistress was running amok with her big belly. ‘Why do I have to come across this disgusting matter? Is
she here on purpose to make me sick?‘
