    Ste’s mouth formed a thin line.


    ‘Cunning face…


    ‘That description seems to suit you better, Trevor.’


    Ste sighed and said, “Trevor, I believe you can find someone better than him, but I won’t like any of


    them.


    “I can’t deny that Keegan has his ws. He could be mean, stubborn, and difficult to deal with, but he


    also has redeeming qualities. He would try to cheer me up whenever he made me angry. He wouldn’t


    get mad at me even if I locked him out. He has never gotten physical with me. He doesn’t force me to


    do anything I don’t want to do, and if there’s something I like, he buys it immediately without looking at


    the price. Also, even if I hit him when we argue, he would never raise his hand against me.”


    Trevor retorted, “Not hitting you is literally the least he can do. How can that be considered a good


    quality?”


    “Let me finish.” Ste continued softly, “After divorce, many couples would speak ill of each other in the


    worst way possible, but Keegan has never said a bad word about me in front of anybody else. Trevor,


    I’ve always thought you can judge a person’s character by how they act after a breakup. Things got


    very unpleasant when Keegan and I divorced, and he could’ve easily ruined my life if he wanted to. A


    person’s character is what makes the marriagest, right?


    I’m very confident in Keegan’s character, and I’m willing to give him another chance.”


    Trevor was about to say something, but Ste interrupted him.


    “I know you’ve always hated Keegan because he did not give me any of his wealth after the divorce.


    However, it was my choice to leave him with nothing. I despised him because of some


    misunderstandings back then and desperately wanted to break free from that marriage. But in fact, he


    did actually give me something.


    “He transferred so much money to me that I could livefortably for the rest of my life without


    working. But he has never mentioned anything about that to you, right? He has not spoken a word


    about it, although you kept on ming him. You’ve known him since you were a kid. Don’t you know


    that he’s the kind of person who always does more than he says?


    “That’s just how he is. Actually, he’s changed a lot now, and… ” Ste cleared her throat before


    continuing, “And you only see Keegan’s ws and not mine. There are very few people who can


    tolerate my temper.”


    Keegan was actually doing men a favor.


    Trevor asked, “What ws do you have? Your only w is being blind. Otherwise, you wouldn’t fall for


    him.”


    His words left Ste utterly speechless.


    ‘Well, it seems like my brother is the master at talking nonsense with a straight face.’


    “Trevor, I’m only telling you all this because I want you and our family to know that I really like him for


    who he is. I hope you all can like him, or at least not reject him, okay?”


    Ste had never asked Trevor for anything from the moment she acknowledged he was her brother.


    That was her first time doing it, and it was for Keegan’s sake.


    Trevor did not feel veryfortable about it. He thought Keegan did not deserve any of that. But on


    second thought, he felt he should give his little sister freedom.


    He slowly began to understand what Ste was trying to do. She wanted to use him as the middle


    person to convey her message to the family.

    Trevor nced at Keegan.


    Keegan had just done paying his respects and was fixing the flowers in front of Rainee’s grave.


    Having grown up together, he knew very well what kind of person Keegan was. However, he was


    worried that Keegan would only bring trouble to Ste if he failed to recover thepany from other


    shareholders.


    The internal conflicts within the Kane family were veryplicated.


    However, there was nothing more he could say after everything that Ste had said.


    Trevor pursed his lips. “We’ll see what happens.”


    Ste’s expression rxed as she gently hugged Trevor and softly said, “Thank you, my brother.”


    Trevor patted her shoulder.


    “Everything with the Jewell family has been settled. Is it time to start nning the banquet?”


    Ste nodded, “Sure. Just make sure that no reporters will be there. I want to keep a low profile, just


    like Leighton.”


    Trevor chuckled, “Got it.”


    Ste and Trevor chatted for some time. When they returned to Rainee’s grave, Keegan handed a


    flower to Trevor. “Here you go, my brother.”


    Trevor gazed at him and epted the flower. Then, he walked up to the grave and took a bow in front


    of it.


    Keegan was a little surprised that Trevor did not just ignore him.
