Chapter 1803


    Ste’s expansion into the lower-tier market had been sessful. Many jewelers from out of town now


    flocked to Rivera for supplies.


    Ste would arrange business discussions at Olivia’s property, attracting several influencers with millions


    of followers. Some of them even documented their stays at the hotel.


    Olivia was adept at running a business and did not mind investing some money.


    She renovated the hotel and introduced several convenient services. With influencers endorsing the


    ce and Olivia’s effective management, Regal Banquets increased its reputation in Rivera.


    ‘Ste had done me a significant favor,’ Olivia thought.


    She gracefully acknowledged thepliments andmented, “Ste and Keegan share a deep bond.


    They won’t break up that easily, even if he can’t recall it right now. We, as outsiders, should watch as


    things unfold and avoid picking sides. Standing on the wrong side could very well bring trouble to us in


    the future.”


    The group of wealthydies resonated with Olivia’s words. Ste possessed several businesses and


    shares.


    Regardless of her current rtionship with Keegan, her status remained intact.


    It would be a costly mistake to offend her because of Dahlia.


    “Olivia, aren’t you good friends with Dahlia?” Someone asked.


    “I am. I’m just kindly reminding everyone to be cautious. Whether you listen or not is up to you,” Olivia


    replied.


    With that, she turned and left. Thedies exchanged nces but refrained from further discussion.


    Meanwhile, Ste was crying uncontrobly. This left Keegan bewildered. He had never seen someone


    shed so many tears.


    Being inexperienced inforting people, Keegan struggled to console her. He vaguely understood why


    Ste was crying. He felt a warm, unknown sensation in his chest and had no idea how to express it.


    Such emotions were alien in his current memory.


    Keegan curled his fingers and said softly, “Stop crying. A wet mask is a breeding ground for bacteria. You


    might get sick.”


    Ste abruptly stopped crying and began tough. It took a while before she murmured, “Fool.”


    Realizing Keegan hadn’tpletely changed, she wiped her tears and thought of how he had exined


    high-voltage electricity during a thunderstorm. He also educated her about thew when they were


    releasing skynterns and prepared a fire extinguisher when he confessed his love to her.


    “Come on. What else do you want to buy? Let’s continue shopping,” Keegan held her hand and said.


    Ste paused, her eyes red. “I don’t want to shop anymore. How am I supposed to shop when you can’t


    even carry any more bags?”


    Keegan chuckled and said, “You’re such a child.”


    He loaded the purchases into the car and prepared to continue shopping with her. However, Ste was


    too tired to go on. In the end, they opted to go home.


    Cordelia was concerned that Maria might struggle with doing everything alone.


    So, she assigned someone named Lorraine to primarily attend to Ste’s dietary needs.


    Although Cordelia didn’t explicitly say anything, Ste deduced that Lorraine likely majored in nutrition


    based on the meals she prepared. The meals were not only healthy but also tailored to her taste.Exclusive ? content by N(?)ve/l/Drama.Org.


    Meanwhile, Maria wasn’t pleased with the help. She assumed that the Kane family was considering


    letting her go. She remained gloomy for several days and bossed Lorraine around. Lorraine had a good


    temper andplied with her instructions.


    After finishing dinner, Keegan went to the study. Shortly after, there was a knock on the door.


    Ste entered, holding a ss of milk, saying she wanted to discuss something with him.


    Keegan assumed she wanted to talk about their past. He knew Ste had always wanted him to


    remember.


    Unexpectedly, Ste wanted to discuss Maria and Lorraine.


    Keegan was somewhat surprised.


    “Equal pay means equal responsibilities. Maria shouldn’t be bullying Lorraine.


    You need to address this, Keegan. Since they are both under your family’s employment, I feel it’s best for


    you to handle the situation.”


    “So you came in here just to tell me this?”


    Confused, Ste replied, “Yeah. Why else would Ie in here?”


    ‘Aren’t we supposed to be working our rtionship?’ thought Keegan.
