    ‘I can’t believe how good Keegan is at flirting when he has to,’ Ste thought. She would melt just from


    looking at his face, let alone him taking the initiative to patch things up between them. Ste tried to


    hold back her smile and sneakily put her hand under the table to receive the envelope.” I’m honestly


    baffled by how thick this envelope is. Does your money grow on trees?”


    “It’s not a lot,” Keegan whispered.


    Ste pinched the thick red envelope and red at him. “It’s as thick as a brick,” she said.


    Ste had given Vermont a hard time earlier, so he wanted to get back at her through Keegan. He


    knew that Keegan would not mind a few insults unless they were targeted at Ste.


    “Keegan doesn’t know what it feels like to not have money. He literally booked the whole ce when


    Duncan got married that day. Carter grabbed a few bottles of red wine that were worth more than ten


    thousand dors when he left, and Keegan paid for all of it. Do you know how much he spent that day?


    “He spent up to seven figures! Do you know how much that is? He could’ve bought a Maserati, a


    Hermes bag, or even put in the down payment for a house! It would take you at least half a year to


    spend that kind of money if you spent ten thousand dors per day. Yet, he spent it all in one night.”

    Keegan snapped. “Don’t you dare try to wreak havoc here!”


    “I’m not causing trouble. I’m just telling the truth! I mean, Ste was there to see it happen. And it’s fine


    since Duncan is one of our own, but what is Albert to you? Why would you fork out so much money for


    your ex-father-in-w? When you and Ste got divorced, he immediately kicked her out of the Jewell


    family and cut ties with her. Why would you give him that much money as a gift? Do you think he


    should be awarded for disowning his daughter?”


    Ste was at a loss for words. She had almost forgotten about Keegan’s spending at Duncan’s


    wedding. She could not help but feel the pain again when Vermont reminded her of it.


    Keegan’s logical thinking skills were thrown out the window once he was drunk, and he would agree to


    anything anyone wanted. Ste was often worried that someone would trick him into signing over his


    company at a cheap price when he was wasted.


    Even though, her worries were unfounded. Keegan understood that he had a low alcohol tolerance and


    would never indulge in drinks during serious business asions. The only time he would drink was


    when he was with his close acquaintances. Due to his current status, he did not have to drink with


    business partners to secure a deal.


    Keegan noticed that Ste was frowning under Vermont’s provocation, and his face darkened. “Stop


    instigating things, or I’ll air out your dirtyundry,” he said.


    Vermont froze upon hearing that and immediately shut his mouth.


    Ste’s heart ached for the money Keegan had spent, but she was not angry at him since Vermont was


    the one who tried to stir the pot. However, she found it strange that Vermont would back off when


    Keegan said he would expose his secrets. “What do you have on him?” she asked Keegan in a low


    voice.


    Before Keegan could say anything, Vermont tried to derail the conversation. “I’m a great guy. He


    doesn’t have anything on me. He just said that to piss me off.”


    However, Ste was not that easily fooled. ‘There’s no way he’d immediately turn quiet if Keegan didn’t


    have anything on him,’ she thought.


    She continued to ask Keegan about the leverage he had on Vermont so that she could tell Felicity.


    At that moment, Vermont remained silent. Keegan looked at him and saw that he was signaling him not


    to say anything. So, Keegan withdrew his gaze and said, “I can’t tell you.”


    “I’ll give you extra points if you tell me,” Ste quickly responded.


    Vermont was confused as to what she meant by that.
