The male stripper was well aware of the ruthless tactics used by debt collectors. They lent people money with the intention of getting it back, one way or another. With his only valuable asset being his looks, he was not keen on losing it. But then, there was Molly, the heiress of the Moore family. Crossing her was not a path he could afford to take.
Stella had no patience for his hesitation. “You have three seconds. If you don’t answer me, I’ll assume you’re out and make that call to your creditor,” she said firmly.
‘Fuck!’
“Alright, alright. I’m in, I’m in!” said the stripper in a hurry.
Stella then signaled Keegan to release him and took several pictures of the male stripper. Following that, she pointed at Keegan and asked the stripper, “Do you recognize him?”
The man shook his head. He did not recognize Keegan outright, but he did seem oddly familiar. His presence exuded an intimidating feeling. The male stripper was more afraid of the silent man than he was of Stella.
“He’s Molly’s cousin, Marshall, the young master of the Moore family. Molly won’t dare to hurt you with him on your side.”
Keegan did not say a word.
Once the male stripper had left, Keegan frowned and asked,
“Did you just tell him I’m Marshall?”
Stella quickly wrapped her arms around him and said, “That pretty boy is unreliable. He’s going to spill everything just to save his skin if Molly ever confronts him. I introduce you as Mr. Moore because Molly won’t dare to challenge her cousin. I don’t want you to get all tangled up in this mess and lose supporters. Let’s just leave the Moore family to deal with it.”
Stella was not afraid of Molly, but Irene was a different story. She loved her daughter and spoiled her. Keegan could not afford to make any enemies right now since he was in the process of taking over the company. Even though he understood this, he was still displeased.
“Wouldn’t it be better to confront her directly?” he pursed his lips and asked, not knowing the manipulative tactics women were capable of.
“She won’t admit it. That pretty boy is so dumb he probably hasn’t kept any evidence. Molly might turn the tables on us if we confronted her.”
With a cold smile, she continued, “Since she’s so in love with my brother, I’ll make sure she never has a chance to be with him!”
