But Keegan did not seem to have any strange reaction at all. ‘I should’ve switched to video call just now. It’s hard to tell anything from just hearing his voice,’ Stella thought to herself.
“Come and get them yourself,” Stella said calmly. “I’m an actress, after all.
What’s going to happen to my career if others find out that I’m living with a man?”
Keegan retorted, “You’ve made numerous headlines with Marshall. Why do you care about this?”
“That’s all made up by the media. I can clear things up any time I want. But, if my place is discovered to have a man’s clothes and family planning supplies, my pure and innocent image would be shattered. Do you know how much loss I’d suffer? I’m not trying to risk my career here.”
Keegan’s eyelid twitched, and he could not help but say, ’ You were married previously, and you still expect others to see you as pure and innocent? Aren’t you just deceiving your fans and audience?”
“So what?” Stella leaned lazily on the couch. “Isn’t that what all the celebrities do nowadays? The fans and audience love it. It’s called a white lie.” Of course, she simply said that to fool Keegan. She would rarely post anything on her Facebook page, apart from sharing some promotional posts from time to time.
After The Palace became famous, all the actors were actively taking on new roles and participating in variety shows. Stella, however, had only attended a promotional event once and that was all.
When she filmed with Leighton, the fans shipped them so much that even her manager could not resist leveraging her popularity. However, both Stella and Trevor rejected the idea simultaneously.
Stella wanted to be successful through her own capabilities. She did not want to end up like Bella, who pleased her fans to maintain popularity and ultimately being devoured by her own made-up persona.
However, to fool Keegan, she came up with a lie without any hesitation.
Keegan remained silent for a long time with a tense face. After some time, he asked, “What’s your address?”
Stella smiled. “Clouditude Valley, Block 7, Unit 901.”
Keegan then said, “I’ll find some time to pick them up.”
“Sure.”
Keegan was about to hang up after Stella said that. But he heard her asking, “When are you going to the hospital for a follow-up?”
“The day after tomorrow. Jaylene will go with me.”
