Ste was startled momentarily.
‘Isn''t he at the office? Did he teleport here?'' she wondered.
Before she could respond, Jaylene followed behind him and said, "Marshall, Ms.Jewell."
Ste froze and looked at Jaylene.
Then, she nced at a nervous- looking Keegan, and her gaze darkened slightly.
Marshall exined, "Ste is fine.Someone else got hurt."
Then Keegan saw Leighton, who had gotten scalded.
He felt a little relieved knowing Ste was not hurt.He wanted to say something, but the car downstairs
was ready.
So Stuart told everyone to make way and send Leighton to the hospital first.
Ste withdrew her hand.
Then, she followed them with a dark expression.
Marshall wanted to run after her but was stopped by Keegan.
"What happened?" Keegan asked in a low voice.
Jaylene also chimed in, "Marshall, what''s going on?"

Marshall nced at the two.
"Aurora barged into the room just now and sshed boiling water onto Ste.Mr.Hall shielded her, so
his back got scalded."
Keegan had a dark expression.
‘No wonder Aurora had such a panicked expression when she entered the room just now.If someone
hadn''t shielded Ste, she would''ve been the one with blisters right now," he thought.
Keegan subdued his trembling heart.
Then, he lifted his head and gazed at Marshall, "How did Aurora know that you guys were in the room
next door?"
‘There are plenty of upscale restaurants in Rivera, and Cotton Rose Restaurant isn''t even one of the
best among them.
Besides, even if we chose the same restaurant coincidentally, what''re the chances of choosing rooms
next to each other when there are dozens of them? I don''t know calculus, but I know about probability.
Something can be justified as coincidental if it happens once or twice.
But if something is always coincidental, is it really a coincidence?'' he thought.
Marshall froze after hearing his words.He slowly lowered his hand, which was blocking Keegan.
Then, he turned to look at Keegan calmly, "This is a question you should ask Aurora instead.I would
also like to know how she found our room."
Beside them, Jaylene secretly clenched her fists.
‘I didn''t expect Aurora to be so ruthless.I just wanted to use her as a pawn to make Keegan realize his
ex-wife has already moved on so that he can give up on her.I didn''t want to harm Ste," she thought.
The crowd heading to the hospital shoved Jaylene and Keegan aside.
Jaylene felt a little overwhelmed, so she did not immediately follow them.
"Leighton''s team has already called the police; they won''t let this incident go easily.But of course, with
your capability, you could keep Aurora safe as long as you want to.Just like the time she locked Ste
in the washroom on the night of the charity ball."
Marshall continued coolly, "If the police question me, I''ll tell them the truth.You have the people you
want to protect, and so do I."
Keegan''s expression turned icy.
"Marshall Moore, you could be a little more open and upright.That way, I wouldn''t look down on you!"
Marshall lifted his gaze, "Keegan, you seem to have gotten one thing wrong—you let Ste go yourself;
nobody forced you.Since you''ve already let go of her, you should carry out your duty as an ex instead
of condoning your family for hurting her.As for the approaches I''m using, that''s my business."
Suddenly, Keegan tightly grabbed Marshall''s cor.
He said sternly through gritted teeth, "Come at me if anything.I won''t forgive you if you mess with her."
Marshall frowned and seemed really confused by Keegan''s words.He pursed his lips and slowly
removed Keegan''s hand from his cor.
"Whoever Ste chooses is up to her.I won''t hold a grudge if she ends up choosing you."
He straightened his shirt and continued coolly, Provided that you win over me."
After he spoke, he nced at Jaylene, who was standing nearby.
A hint of mockery shed across his eyes.
Then, he walked away.
Keegan had an icy expression as he watched Marshall leave.
No other emotion could be discerned on his face.
He frowned deeply.
‘How could he possibly like Ste?'' he thought.
