Chapter 2085
It was not until Keegan took the watering can from Stella's hand that she regained her senses.
"I'm back," Keegan said.
He sat down next to her and asked in a low voice, "Is everything okay?"
Stella said, "Keegan, have you been to The Hox Club?"
Keegan's expression remained calm. "Do you want to know if I have anything to do with Luanna's
death?"
Stella frowned. "Of course, I know it has nothing to do with you. I just want to know what you were
doing there at that time. Be honest and tell me everything. We've got to plan our next step very
carefully."
Stella finally figured everything out after listening to Keegan. He had mentioned before that Luanna
looked familiar, probably because he had seen her once in the club.
However, it was perfectly normal that he could not remember her immediately as it was just a passing
encounter. What Stella was worried about now was that Luanna's case might involve him.
The photo was like a time bomb. Even if he had nothing to do with it, there would still be a chance of
him being implicated.
Keegan looked at her worried expression and chuckled. Then, he took her hand and asked softly, "Is
this the only thing you've been worried about all afternoon?"
Stella pulled her hand back and glared at him. "Stop fooling around! This is very serious. If it is true that
Luanna was lured into consuming drugs at that party, can you, as someone who attended the party,
stay clear of it?
"If this matter gets publicized, no one's going to think that you're innocent even if you had done nothing
to her!"
Keegan had come so far to finally be powerful enough in the company to keep Chandler in check. If
this matter got out, Chandler would surely use it against him. How could she not be worried?
Keegan asked again, "What exactly did Marshall show you?"
"A photo of you and Luanna in a private room at The Hox Club. Marshall told me that was when she
got exposed to drugs. Do you understand how serious this can get now? What were you doing in that
club?"
Keegan gently patted her shoulder and reassured her, "It was a meeting with a client. I only found out
was selling drugs in The Hox Club.
"If your classmate took drugs that time, she wouldn't have passed that urine test."
Stella frowned. "Did Marshall not know this?"
"He couldn't have found out," Keegan continued flatly. "The Hox Club is only visited by wealthy
individuals from influential families and celebrities. That was also the first time Ricky got exposed for
taking drugs.
"His family did everything in their power to keep it down. No one would want to go against the Adam
family. It was not a noble thing to begin with, so nobody really talked about it."
He rubbed Stella's hair as he added, "There's no need to worry about me. If this really gets out, the
police will still have my test records from back then. I'll be fine."
Stella finally felt relieved. After a while, she asked again, "Don’t you find this whole thing strange? How
did Lina coincidentally find Marshall for help, and she coincidentally happens to have a group photo
with you in it?"
Keegan lowered his gaze and said, "I'm more inclined to believe that someone intentionally showed
Marshall that photo, which is why he took on this case."
