Chapter 848
"Horror movies are the best choice to enhance the closeness between couples," Aldor chuckled dryly.
"Is that so?" Keegan asked. "Why are you still single if you know so much about relationships?"
Aldor was speechless. 'Ugh. I shouldn’t have helped him this well. Look at how cocky he's acting.'
Keegan's phone beeped when he was walking toward his office. He grabbed it and saw that it was an email. Keegan froze when
he clicked on it, and his face turned extremely gloomy.
Aldor sensed that something was wrong, so he asked in a low voice, "What is it, Mr. Kane?"
Keegan did not answer him. Instead, he put his phone away and said, "I'm heading out for a while."
"Do you need me to accompany you?" Aldor asked.
"No," Keegan pursed his lips and said. "Stay here at the company. Call me if something urgent comes up."
"Okay."
Keegan seldom left his post during work. Aldor felt that something big must have happened. Otherwise, Keegan would not have
lost his composure.
Aldor was right. Keegan had received blackmail. It was a set of pictures in a changing room. The girl in the photo looked like she
was around 14 or 15 years old and had not fully hit puberty yet. The girl was changing and was almost fully naked on camera.
Keegan could not fully see the girl's face, but he knew who it was when he saw the birthmark on her back.
It was Stella.
The person who sent Keegan the photo asked for 100 million dollars to delete it. The person also stated that they would make
the photo public if he did not comply. Stella's career had just started. So, if the photo gets out, it would be a devastating blow to
her reputation.
People would not care about why or how she was secretly photographed. They would only circulate it and make speculations.
They would put unwarranted labels and criticism toward her in both speech and writing.
Keegan thought of the worst-case scenario in an instant. Anger was boiling inside of him, but he tried his best to stay calm. The
fact that the person who sent the photo wanted money meant that they would not leak the pictures so easily.
When Keegan was on his way, the person sent him another email asking him to transfer the money to the given account before
12:00 p.m. The photos would be sold to various gossip accounts if he was late by one second.
Keegan rushed to Carter's house and dragged him out of bed. Carter frowned and was half awake. He then said, "Who let you in
here?"
"I let myself in," said Keegan.
Lena brought in two glasses of water and leaned against the door frame," Do you want me to kick him out again?"
"You wouldn't have let him in if you didn't want him here," Carter sat up and said to his wife. After saying that, he jumped out of
bed and asked, "What's wrong?"
"Someone is blackmailing me. Can you check their IP address?" Keegan said in a deep voice.
"Shouldn't you call the police?"
"The person is using a VPN, and the message is encrypted. It'll be too late when I finish filing a case."
Carter furrowed his brows. "What leverage does that person have over you? Why are you so nervous?"
Keegan pursed his lips and said, "It involves my wife."
Carter did not ask any more questions after that. Instead, he immediately went to his study and turned on the computer.
