    Chapter 1154


    “Have you considered what we discussedst time?” Albert asked.


    “Huh? What do you mean?” Ste pretended not to understand.


    “You know, about me taking you in as an adoptive daughter. These bullying incidents are happening


    because you have no one on your side. I mean, have you ever experienced anything like this when you


    were a part of the Jewell family?”


    ‘How dare he say that?! I wasn’t bullied in the past because people were afraid of Keegan and the


    Kane family.’ Contrary to Albert’s belief, Ste was miserable in the Jewell family.’ He’s literally so full of


    himself!’


    Resisting the urge to fight back, Ste poked Keegan, asking how to reply. Keegan then mouthed the


    words, “Say yes.”


    Ste understood him. She pursed her lips and said, “You and Hylda are getting married soon. Let’s


    talk about thister. It’s not up to you alone to decide.”


    Albert heard her loosening up to the idea and immediately said, “Of course it is. Don’t worry. As long as


    you agree, I will immediately dere it to the public and hold a proper ceremony.”

    Ste said, “I’m afraid Hylda won’t show up if you make this decision alone. I don’t want things to be


    awkward.”


    ‘Hmm. It would be difficult to get Hylda’s approval,’ Albert frowned and pondered for a moment. “Then


    we’ll announce it during the wedding,” he said.


    Ste bit her lower lips and said, “I can do that, but… Will Hylda be okay with it?”


    “Don’t worry about her. I’m the head of the house. What I say goes.”


    “Okay,” Ste slowly said.


    Before hanging up, Albert reminded her to bring Keegan to the wedding.


    ‘So that’s his goal,’ thought Ste. “I don’t know if he’s free to show up, but I’ll try my best to convince


    him.”


    After the call ended, Ste looked up and pinched Keegan’s face. “Albert thinks you’re the God of


    Wealth. Oh, he just can’t wait to worship you,” she teased.


    Keegan pushed her hand away and said, “Stop being so handsy. It makes men less attracted to you.”


    Ste was shocked to hear him say that. ‘You mutt! I’m going to get you back for this,’ she thought.


    Keegan’s cell phone rang while Ste was going to the restroom. He looked at the caller ID and saw


    that it was Be. Keegan nced in Ste’s direction and walked to the balcony to pick up the call.


    When the call connected, Keegan heard Be’s frantic voice saying, “Mr. Kane, please help me.”


    “You’ve got the wrong person. Our contract is over,” Keegan replied in disdain.


    “I know, but I really don’t have a way out. I’m going to lose everything if things go on like this. I’ve gone


    through a lot to get to where I am today. I don’t want to lose what I have right now. You’re the only


    person who can help me, Mr. Kane. Please. I’ll do whatever you want in return,” Be sobbed.


    Keegan’s voice was grim, “You should have thought of the consequences when you set out to frame


    her. I warned you long ago to stay away from her, but you didn’t listen.”


    Be was stunned upon hearing that, and a chill ran down her spine instantly. “Y-You… You’re the one


    who did this…”


    “You were getting greedy,” Keegan said coldly.


    Be felt scared and disturbed at the same time. “You’re responsible for what I’ve be, Keegan. I


    could have lived my life as a small actor, but you had to pull me out of the slumps and show me what


    it’s truly like to live. How could I ever go back?”
