Keegan pursed his lips and said in a low voice, "Congrattions on winning the case today."
Ste smiled, but she did not open her eyes.
"You''re probably very disappointed that I won, Mr.Kane.You''ve wasted so much attorney fees for
nothing and even had to paypensation." Keegan frowned.
"What would I be disappointed about?"
Ste opened her eyes and nced at him through half-opened eyelids.
"You really spent a fortune to hire Mr.Eldrich as yourwyer."
‘Marshall said Ted Eldrich''s attorney fees are really expensive.Besides, it''s not like one can hire him
simply with money.He also considers his client''s status.Be may not be able to hire him, but Keegan
definitely can" she thought.
At the thought of how the two exchanged pleasantries in the courtroom, Ste could not help but
darken her expression.
''Why is he putting on a show?’ she thought.
"You think I paid money to hire Ted Eldrich?"
Ste nced at Keegan.
"Otherwise, why''d youe to the hearing? Mr.Kane, when you talk with Mr.Eldrich, at least do it in
private.Also, make your acting more realistic.You can''t deny things just because you lost the case."
Keegan was speechless.
However, Keegan became level-headed after hearing Ste''s cynical words.He started rethinking the
things that had happened in the past two days.
‘Ste is Dusk Gxy, so she''s definitely not behind the photo incident.So who''s the person who
wanted me toe to this hearing? And what''s their objective?" he wondered.
Keegan froze and suddenly looked at Ste.She was looking at him coldly.
There was a hint of cynicism in her eyes.
''I think I know the person''s objective behind asking me toe to this hearing.They wanted Ste to
think that I helped them with thewsuit.They obviously achieved their objective based on Ste''s
current gaze on me.Ste and I are currently already divorced, so there''s a barrier between us.I''m
working hard to remove it.Yet, someone''s increasing the barriers, causing me to never be able to
ovee them.Who is this person?'' he wondered.
Keegan racked his brain for someone suspicious.
Suddenly, he realized there were too many people with this motive.
‘Too many people are eager for Ste and me to get divorced.Too many are concerned about Ste" he
thought again.
Keegan exined, "There''s a misunderstanding here.I did not know you were involved in this
lawsuit.Ted and I are merely acquainted.In the courtroom, he only greeted me, and it wasn''t because I
hired him."
Ste listened to him justify his actions before she finally said, "Why''d you show up at the hearing when
you don''t know a thing?"N?velD(ram)a.?rg owns this content.
Keegan was silent.
After a long while, he said, "Someone sent me a letter and asked me to attend."
Ste could no longer hold back the anger she had been holding in the entire day.
"Keegan, shut up if you''re really just going to make excuses! You came just because of a letter? Then
why didn''t you answer when I called you that many times when I got into a car ident? Is a letter
more important than your wi… ex-wife?"
Keegan was at a loss for words.
"I''m not lying to you."
Ste put on her earphones.She turned to look out the window and ignored him.
After the student got out of the car, the cab driver went straight to Keegan''s grandparents'' residence.
They got out of the car the moment they arrived at the estate.
Baldwin was already waiting for them behind the gates.
"Mr.Kane, Mrs.Kane."
Baldwin still addressed Ste the way he used to.
However, Ste was anxious to know of Cordelia''s condition, so she did not dwell on how he
addressed her.
She asked in a low voice, ''Baldwin, how''s grandma?"
Baldwin paused.
He nced at Keegan, who had an indifferent expression, before he pursed his lips and said, "I''ll take
you two to see her."
