Chapter 91
Things wouldn’t have ended up this way if it wasn’t for Stella, that jinx.”
“I thought of getting to know Ms. Saun. Looks like it has become a moot point since rumor has it that she has been admitted to the hospital,” one of the ladies said.
Aurora had a sudden realization and said, “Let’s not jump to any conclusion since the Saun family may have intended to close the hotel. She had to survive today by hook or by crook. If Keegan found out about this, she could only hard–headedly deny it.
No one brought up any objections after they heard what she said,
The phone rang right after Felicity finished editing the, not leaving her room to take a breath.
The caller was an unknown number Thinking it was the food delivery, she picked up the call. She immediately stood at attention from the bed after hearing the voice from the other end.
“Where is Stella?”
“Wh–What do you want from me?”
The trauma left within Felicity had yet to subside.
Hearing Keegan’s voice, she immediately tensed up.
Keegan repeated, “Where is Stella?”
Felicity, who was loathing yet fearful, whispered, “Didn’t she join you for some dinner gathering or something?”
“She is absent and not picking up her phone.”
“What does that have to do with me?! She is most likely trying to avoid you!
Knowing Keegan’s mean streak, Felicity did not dare to refute and said, “How about I call her for you?”
“I’ll have to trouble you for that,” said Keegan, finally sounding more reasonable.
Immediately after, Felicity contacted Stella. But, just like Keegan, the phone patched through, but no one picked up the call.
Keegan frowned deeply and hung up without another word.
Right at that moment, Vermont hugged Keegan by the shoulder and whispered, “Marshall’s here. Let’s go meet his girlfriend.”
Keegan pushed Vermont’s hands away and said, “Go by yourself.”
Vermont snatched away Keegan’s phone and said, “You can’t possibly miss Stella, who is still alive and kicking. Let’s go tease Marshall, and then I’ll help you out.”
Without waiting for Keegan’s refute and still hugging Keegan’s shoulders, Vermont dragged Keegan away
Stella came out from her bath and changed into the dress left by the hotel’s staff
A white, off–shoulder, split–thigh prom dress with a fishtailed hem design. It was not overly simplistic yet not too glamorous. A truly elegant yet decent dress.
Marshall was already waiting. He was standing at the walkway just outside of Stella’s room when she
came out
Hearing her exit from the room, he lifted his head and looked in her direction.
