Chapter 323
Keegan did not know what Jackson and Stella were talking about, so he asked her about their little chat when they were upstairs. Cordelia and Chandler were discussing some business in the study while Cyrene was still sour about the birthday banquet, as Dahlia was not backing down. Keegan was tired of it, so he found an excuse to leave and went to see Stella.
As soon as he arrived, he saw Jackson standing before her. He had no idea what Jackson had said, but Stella’s expression was ugly and sullen, like the time in Vinci Rivera.
Stella did not bother to hide her dislike for Jackson. “We were just joking around. That’s all,’ she said, not wanting to elaborate. In fact, she did not know how she should explain what happened because it involved Aurora and Dahlia.

When they got married, Keegan left Stella at the wedding while he went elsewhere. Everybody started giving rounds of toasts to her until Zane saved her. However, she still had quite a bit to drink.
Stella was feeling a little dizzy when she got home. Aurora and the servant helped her to her room. Stella was in her early twenties, but her husband was with another woman on their wedding night. She could not help but feel wronged no matter how hard she tried.
When she returned to the room, she did not change out of her clothes. Instead, she cried for hours and fell asleep after that. While she was asleep, someone came on top of her and started groping her non-stop. The person’s force was so great that she woke up in pain.
The light in the room was very dim, and Stella had drunk a lot of wine. So, her vision was blurry, and she thought the person was Keegan. The grievances she felt that night surged up abruptly. She wrapped her hands over the person’s shoulders and complained about it in a low voice.
The man grabbed her chin and gasped, “I thought you only had a pretty face. I didn’t expect you to have such a good figure too. No wonder Keegan insisted on marrying you.”
