Chapter 144
Maya was shaking with anger. Stella had been too kind and gentle for too long. Everyone thought she was a weak little bunny.
But she was, in fact, a lion who was ready to bite back. ‘ How would I ever stand out from the crowd if I continue being an
obedient bunny?’ she thought.
‘So what if Dahlia sent her here? She’s just a housemaid. Keegan doesn’t even bat an eye at her. I’m bound to be the lady of this
house if I can secure my place as Keegan’s wife. She won’t even be able to secure her job!’
Maya was unhappy, but she did not dare to provoke Stella again. She had every right to fire her. Maya lowered her head and
said in a hoarse voice, “My apologies, Madam. I won’t do it again.”
Stella did not eat dinner that night. Instead, she went to her room and hit the sheets. Keegan’s return was unclear to her, but she
was alone in her bedroom when she woke up the next day. She asked Maya about it and found out he came home at around
11:00 p.m. last night. ‘He must have spent the night in the study and left early in the morning,’ she thought.
Stella did not care about Keegan. She even felt that it was better if he did not return. The villa was big and comfortable; there
was lots of space for pets. But Keegan disliked animals. Stella knew they would get into a fight if she adopted some cats and
dogs because he would probably throw them out when she was not at the house.
Suddenly, her phone rang after she had washed her face. Stella saw that it was Albert and did not plan to answer the call.
Instead, she left her phone upstairs and went down to have breakfast.
When Stella went up, she saw the trending headlines on the internet.

The comments read [What does a 30-million-dollar bracelet even look like?] Another person commented [I’ll never understand
what it’s like to be rich]
‘How much did Vermont spend to be in the top searches? There are nearly ten top search recommendations about this matter.
Plus, I can’t believe that cheapskate actually gave Hermes bag.’

Soon, the initial shock disappeared as the internet revealed that the bag was only at an entry- level price. It was merely thirty
thousand to forty thousand dollars, which was not worth mentioning compared to the 30-million-dollar bracelet.
‘Okay, he’s still the cheapskate I thought he was. But he did the most to spread the news. People are already talking about
Xianna buying the 30-million-dollar bracelet after one night. Dad must have called because he saw the news.”
Stella played outside with the neighbor’s dog before calling her dad back during breakfast. Albert was as anxious as a parent
who had lost his child. Henry had called him at 5:00 in the morning to scold him, saying that he was playing dirty tricks and that
he would not let him go so easily.
Only then did Albert realize the gravity of the matter. He did not even bother to wash up as he
hurriedly called Stella to ask if Keegan had talked to Vermont about it.
