Chapter 144
Maya was shaking with anger. Stella had been too kind and gentle for too long. Everyone thought she was a weak little bunny. But she was, in fact, a lion who was ready to bite back. ‘ How would I ever stand out from the crowd if I continue being an obedient bunny?’ she thought.
‘So what if Dahlia sent her here? She’s just a housemaid. Keegan doesn’t even bat an eye at her. I’m bound to be the lady of this house if I can secure my place as Keegan’s wife. She won’t even be able to secure her job!’
Maya was unhappy, but she did not dare to provoke Stella again. She had every right to fire her. Maya lowered her head and said in a hoarse voice, “My apologies, Madam. I won’t do it again.”
Stella did not eat dinner that night. Instead, she went to her room and hit the sheets. Keegan’s return was unclear to her, but she was alone in her bedroom when she woke up the next day. She asked Maya about it and found out he came home at around 11:00 p.m. last night. ‘He must have spent the night in the study and left early in the morning,’ she thought.
Stella did not care about Keegan. She even felt that it was better if he did not return. The villa was big and comfortable; there was lots of space for pets. But Keegan disliked animals. Stella knew they would get into a fight if she adopted some cats and dogs because he would probably throw them out when she was not at the house.
Suddenly, her phone rang after she had washed her face. Stella saw that it was Albert and did not plan to answer the call. Instead, she left her phone upstairs and went down to have breakfast.
When Stella went up, she saw the trending headlines on the internet.
