Chapter 1230
Aldor already knew what Keegan had in mind when he approached him for the custom lighter. Being kind-hearted, Aldor was worried that Keegan might offend Trevor, so he tried to talk him out of it. But, Keegan dismissed his concern and said, ‘ Just do as you’re told.” Aldor did not expect Keegan to use Leighton as a pawn in his game.
Despite being friendly toward Trevor and calling him his brother-in-law, Keegan kept track of his actions and planned his revenge. ‘Sorry, Leighton, but I had to,’ he thought.
Soon after, Stella emerged from the building. Keegan pulled up in his car, and Stella quickly got in. As she fastened her seatbelt, she pulled out three envelopes from her purse and said, “Look at what I got..!”
Keegan could not help but smile when he saw how happy Stella was. “Are those from your grandparents?”
“Yeah, and this one’s from Uncle Daryl, and this is from Mr. Sa – I mean, my dad.” Stella was still trying to get used to the idea of having such a loving father like Wenham, especially since she had Albert as a dad before this.
“Looks like everyone knows you well.”
“What makes you say that?’ Stella asked.
Keegan glanced at her and said, ‘Well, they all figured out your love for money.”
Stella rolled her eyes. ‘I guess old habits die hard,’ she thought, referring to Keegan’s constant remark on her preference.
She then showed Keegan the fountain pen Wilfred gave her and said, ‘ I got you something.”
Keegan turned his head and looked slightly surprised. “A Capri fountain pen?’
