Chapter 1186


    Ste nced at the young man named Ethan, thinking it was impossible that he was Spencer’s


    cousin. ‘He looks rather average. His eyes are small, and his forehead is huge. He’s not really short,


    but his proportions are not that great, either. Moreover, he slouches when he stands, which makes him


    look even more unattractive,’ she thought.


    Perhaps sensing Ste’s gaze, Ethan looked over at her. She immediately averted her eyes.


    Albert was so eager to introduce Ethan to Keegan that it seemed like he genuinely liked the man.


    Keegan shook Ethan’s hand nonchntly and kept his eyes on Ste.


    Seeing this, Albert became even more convinced that Keegan still had feelings for her. ‘I must find a


    way to get them back together. That way, I can continue funding my business.1


    With that in mind, he turned around and whispered to Ste, “I will publicly announce the adoption after


    the wedding ceremony. The Jewell family will always have your back from then on, Ste.”


    Ste looked down and said, “I think you should discuss this with Hylda. It’s her big day. An


    announcement like that would ruin the asion.”


    ‘Hylda would never agree to this. She’s so short-sighted; she never sees the bigger picture,’ thought


    Albert. “Yeah, okay. Sure,” he said to Ste. After that, he turned around and told Sophia to entertain


    the guests while he checked up on Hylda.


    ‘ Alright, Dad,” Sophia replied as Albert left the scene.


    Sophia noticed that Keegan was still looking at Ste and could not help but feel irritated. She had


    mixed feelings about him; she admired, feared, and liked him all at once. At the same time, Sophia held


    a grudge against Keegan for dismissing her at the press conference. Although she had no proof as to


    who caused the incident, she believed that Ste was behind it.


    Sophia was overjoyed when she heard that Keegan and Ste got divorced, but… ‘What the hell is


    going on? Why are Keegan’s eyes glued to that bitch?’ she thought as she stepped forward between


    Ste and Keegan.


    “Mr. Kane, there are freshly grilled steaks over there. Allow me to take you to grab some.” Sophia tried


    to take Keegan’s arm, but he avoided her touch and coldly replied, “I’m not hungry.’


    His action left her dumbfounded.


    Vermont nced at Sophia and then at her boyfriend, Ethan. He noticed Ethan’s eyes darting toward


    Ste from time to time. ‘Interesting…’ He approached the couple and said, ‘Ms. Jewell, Mr. Shaw. I


    haven’t eaten much today. How about you take me to the steaks?”


    Sophia did not have a good impression of Vermont because he always seemed like he was plotting


    something, making her ufortable. However, Sophia had no choice but to reluctantly agree to his


    suggestion.


    Felicity could hear Vermont chatting up a storm as the three of them walked away. “So, how did you


    two meet?” he asked.


    Felicity was furious. “Can’t that Stinky Cucumber get his own steaks? Why did he have to ask that


    annoying ass girl to take him to the grill station? Also, her boyfriend looks hideous. I can’t imagine why


    she would date him, let alone kiss him.”


    “Because he’s wealthy, of course,” Ste replied.


    Keegan’s eyelids twitched when he heard that. “Money can buy kisses?” he asked.

    Ste paused and quickly rified, ‘That only applies to Sophia. I prioritize looks.” She then teased


    Keegan, saying, “I would kiss any guy who had your looks, though.”


    Keegan felt slightlyforted by her calling him handsome. But he was also a little weirded out by the


    thought of Ste kissing every man who looked like him. He was about to say something when he


    heard Felicity say, “So does that mean you kissed Spencer Graham?”


    Ste was at a loss for words, while Keegan was confused. He slowly turned his head to look at Felicity


    and asked, “What did you just say?”
