Chapter 1840
Leighton had had another argument with his father, and what made matters worse was that it all happened on his birthday. They didn't even enjoy the cake that day. Leighton just left.
Following the disagreement, Leighton not only blocked Daryl on WhatsApp but also on his social media.
Left with no choice, Daryl] sought information from Stella indirectly.
Concerned about the tension between the father and son, Stella reached out to Leighton.
She learned he was attending a roadshow for Motives for Murder that day, conveniently near her. Seeing an opportunity to mediate and alleviate the father-son conflict, Stella decided to go there.
As Stella headed upstairs, she overheard Aurora conversing on the terrace. She thought about the strawberry pudding from last night that she hadn't given to Aurora.
Planning to inform her about it, Stella approached and overheard Aurora saying, "I found an opportunity, too, but I can't make it too obvious. You know how cunning Stella can be. If I'm too obvious, she'll start getting suspicious."
Stella felt puzzled upon hearing that.
Aurora laughed softly, Keegan's had enough of her. They had an argument this morning before leaving the house. Stella tried to help him with his necktie, but he found her repulsive and pushed her away. She was on the verge of tears. I was keeping my distance at the time, afraid Keegan might notice me. Otherwise, I would've recorded the entire thing for you."
This left Stella even more puzzled.
"I wish you saw Stella's expression when Keegan returned from his date with Jaylene. She was making a scene, but he completely ignored her.
"Yes, Jaylene drove us back last night. Keegan was drunk and kept calling Jaylene's name. Stella was so mad. Yet, she still didn't leave the room.
"I've been putting a little safflower in her fruit vinegar. She's been drinking it for a week, and she hasn't noticed a thing. She's so clueless."
"Didn't I just receive the vinegar yesterday? What is she talking about?' thought Stella. Aurora continued on the phone, "No worries. Anyway, I'm living here now. I'll find more ways to sabotage her."
As the voices in Aurora's room gradually faded, Stella pursed her lips and knocked on the door.
