Chapter 1378
Keegan was aware of how strict the family rules were within the Moore family.
Back then, Vermont had beaten up a school bully, and the bully sought revenge on him with a group of accomplices from outside
of school. Keegan and Marshall were forced to get into that brawl. The incident escalated, and their parents were all called to the
school.
However, after the matter was resolved, Marshall did not come to school for two days.
He and Vermont went to Marshall's house to look for him, and the nanny told them that Marshall had been admitted to the
hospital.
Keegan still remembered what he saw when they arrived at the hospital to this day. Marshall was lying on the bed, and his face
was covered in whip marks. He looked defeated while Ariel was shedding tears next to him.
Keegan was raised by Cordelia from a young age. She loved children very much and would only give Keegan a few spankings
on the buttocks or palms when he misbehaved. When he grew older, Cordelia would punish him in different ways like making
him recite books or memorize them.
The disciplinary measures of the Moore family were shocking and despicable.
Keegan and Vermont were worried that Marshall would feel embarrassed, so they looked at him through the window and left the
hospital without going in.
Molly was Frederick's favorite child, yet he did not go easy on her. It was evident how angry he really was.
Marshall could not get up after being disciplined, and Molly had it even worse. It was said that she spent a few days in the
hospital.
Irene was very mad, and she had been looking for the person who leaked the photos.
Trevor was one of her main suspects, so Keegan figured that it would not be a good time for him to ask for the Moore family's
help.
Not only that they would not help him, but they might even seek revenge on him.
At that thought, Keegan could not help but say, "You're so childish. You should have at least waited for some time before doing
that. They just warned you about it, and the photos were leaked. How could they not suspect you?"
Trevor was displeased. "They asked for it when they did that to Stella. They should be glad that I didn't end her life!" Then, he
shifted the blame to Keegan, "You're the fool. You should have gotten someone to broadcast everything live at that time. Why
bother putting on a show? You should embarrass her right there and then and show her who she shouldn't mess with!"
Keegan kept quiet.
'What a crazy man! Our families are all friends with each other and doing that would only make things worse!' Keegan thought to
himself.
'I should keep Stella away from her impulsive brother in the future.'
After contemplating for some time, Trevor suddenly suggested, "Why don't we try to contact that gigolo, Marshall? He's her
relative, after all."
Keegan's face darkened. "Are you trying to give him an opportunity to prove himself?"
Trevor snorted. "You get anxious every time I mention his name. What are you afraid of? Stella falling for him?"
"Hmph." Keegan scoffed. He was about to flaunt his new diamond engagement ring but changed his mind after some thought.
He knew Trevor too well. He figured that Trevor would probably steal the ring from Stella and throw it away when she was not
paying attention.
So, he said in a flat tone, "We'll talk about this again after he gets plastic surgery to have a face like mine."
Trevor kept quiet.
'Is he that proud of his looks?'
In unit 902 of Clouditude International, Felicity curled up on the couch while editing her script.
She had adapted well to her new company, and her
coworkers were all very friendly. She no longer had to deal with matters that were irrelevant to her work and could finally focus
on writing the script.
Sewyn lay beside her, licking its fur occasionally and nuzzling her.
When Vermont came back, he saw this peaceful moment.
He paused briefly before hanging his coat on the rack. Then, he softly asked, "Why haven't you slept yet?"
