Chapter 24
‘Do I want to lose face?‘ Stella thought. ‘Besides, it was obvious that Keegan had been cheating on me. If I stay, and a child just comes up to him and calls him “Daddy” one day, I would be the joke of Rivera.‘
‘I must go through this divoroe no matter what!’ Her face changed again when she thought of that. “Look, Mr. Kane, you getting a divorce would be a huge deal for Rivera, no? If we just get a divorce without any advance notice, it will have an impact on the company’s stocks and so on. That’s not good now, is it?”
Keegan glanced at her and said, “What are you trying to say?”
“I’m saying we should announce the divorce after one year to avoid those fallouts. What do you think?” She said. Keegan stared at her sullenly without saying a word. Stella’s heart was beating fast. “Is that too long? How about we announce it after eight months?” She whispered. Keegan’s gaze was already cold. “I-I think… Half a year is too short, but it’s fine if you want to announce it…”
Keegan gritted his teeth and said, “Stella, if you say one more word, I’ll throw you out of here!” Stella immediately shut her mouth.
“Do you think we can get divorced this month?” She asked again in a low voice after staying quiet for some time.
A few minutes later, the security guards brought her out of Keegan’s office. She was cursing and swearing to herself all the way, ‘That Keegan Kane is such a jerk! He was plainly trying to delay my time and play me! I should’ve just given his lunch to the stray dogs out there!’
