    Chapter 1153


    Ste nced at the man beside her, who was clearly thinking about having sex. She said, “Behave,


    Keegan. You’re giving me the ick.”


    “But Vermont always talks like that,” the man grunted.


    “That’s why you’d y the macho boss if you were in a movie, while he’d y the manager,” Ste


    joked. “But you’ll be neither if you don’t stop with the gross talk.”


    Keegan was at a loss for words. ‘So I need to be in a high position to get along with her now? That’s


    sad…’


    While they were chatting, Ste’s phone rang. It was Albert. She gave Keegan a silent gesture and


    answered the call.


    “Ste, are you okay?” asked Albert.


    Ste and Keegan looked at each other. “I’m fine. Is something the matter, Mr. Jewell?”


    Albert sounded concerned. “Why didn’t you tell me you faced such a major situation?”


    “Well, you didn’t ask,” Ste replied indifferently.


    “I just saw the news yesterday. I wanted to call, but I feared you wouldn’t pick up. I didn’t like it when


    you said you wanted to pursue acting. I knew the people in the show business were all a bunch of


    bums. Your mom even argued with me when I told her that. But now look. You’re suffering.” Ste could


    not stand Albert. She almost threw up at the tone of his voice.


    Albert was the typical oppressive and self-centered parent. If his child wanted to learn something, he’d


    be against it. If they did not listen to him and decided to chase after their dreams, he would keep finding


    ways to tear them down.


    They would also not get a single word of praise from him, even if they were the best of the best. In


    response to their sess, Albert might even say, “What’s the point of learning all that?” If his children


    encountered setbacks in pursuing their desires, he would immediately tell them, “I told you so. You


    should have listened to me.”


    Ste did not care about all the things Albert had said or done to her in the past, but she could not


    believe he was shameless enough to judge her choices. “Did you call just to mock me, Mr. Jewell?”


    She asked coldly.

    “I am concerned about you, Ste. As soon as I found out about this matter, I immediately pull some


    connections and have them start an investigation. Don’t worry. The truth wille out, and your name


    will be cleared.”


    ‘He sure knows how to tter himself. He never once called to ask how I was doing when the issue was


    people are starting to stand on my side, he wants to help me and take credit for being a good person?’


    “Are you with Keegan right now?” Albert asked as he began leading up to his call’s main point.


    “No. We haven’t had much contact since the incident. He’s probably afraid of getting dragged down


    with me,” Ste said with a straight face as sheid her head on Keegan’sp.


    “That’s not possible. I think Keegan’s afraid that the paparazzi will capture you two together and cause


    you more trouble. I saw him share the thank you post on Facebook.”


    Hearing that, Ste paused and stared at Keegan.


    The man then looked away sheepishly. ‘It’s not like I said something ambiguous to mislead the public


    like Marshall did. I literally just shared the post,’ he thought.


    However, the effect of the repost was not less impactful than that of Marshall’sment on his


    rtionship with Ste.


    [#Ke] was again trending, and fans who shipped the couple were overjoyed.


    So naturally, Albert did not believe Ste when she said they were not together.


    Ste was also speechless by Keegan’s action. She red at him and slowly said into the phone, “Is


    that so? I haven’t had the chance to look at the post yet.”
