Chapter 1840


    Chapter 1840


    Leighton had had another argument with his father, and what made matters worse was that it all


    happened on his birthday. They didn''t even enjoy the cake that day. Leighton just left.


    Following the disagreement, Leighton not only blocked Daryl on WhatsApp but also on his social


    media.


    Left with no choice, Daryl] sought information from Ste indirectly.

    Concerned about the tension between the father and son, Ste reached out to Leighton.


    She learned he was attending a roadshow for Motives for Murder that day, conveniently near her.


    Seeing an opportunity to mediate and alleviate the father-son conflict, Ste decided to go there.


    As Ste headed upstairs, she overheard Aurora conversing on the terrace. She thought about the


    strawberry pudding fromst night that she hadn''t given to Aurora.


    nning to inform her about it, Ste approached and overheard Aurora saying, "I found an


    opportunity, too, but I can''t make it too obvious. You know how cunning Ste can be. If I''m too


    obvious, she''ll start getting suspicious."


    Ste felt puzzled upon hearing that.


    Auroraughed softly, Keegan''s had enough of her. They had an argument this morning before leaving


    the house. Ste tried to help him with his necktie, but he found her repulsive and pushed her away.


    She was on the verge of tears. I was keeping my distance at the time, afraid Keegan might notice me.


    Otherwise, I would''ve recorded the entire thing for you."


    This left Ste even more puzzled.


    "I wish you saw Ste''s expression when Keegan returned from his date with Jaylene. She was making


    a scene, but hepletely ignored her.


    "Yes, Jaylene drove us backst night. Keegan was drunk and kept calling Jaylene''s name. Ste was


    so mad. Yet, she still didn''t leave the room.


    "I''ve been putting a little safflower in her fruit vinegar. She''s been drinking it for a week, and she hasn''t


    noticed a thing. She''s so clueless."


    "Didn''t I just receive the vinegar yesterday? What is she talking about?'' thought Ste. Aurora


    continued on the phone, "No worries. Anyway, I''m living here now. I''ll find more ways to sabotage her."


    As the voices in Aurora''s room gradually faded, Ste pursed her lips and knocked on the door.


    Startled, Aurora quickly hid her phone and asked with a stern face,


    "What?"


    Ste''s expression was odd, and after a while, she said, "Nothing. If you don''t want the pudding, I''ll


    throw it awayter."


    Aurora shrugged, "Whatever."


    Ste fell silent, deep in thought, and then went upstairs. While changing, she heard someone leave


    the house. Ste paid no attention to them and finished freshening up before heading downstairs.


    She casually went to the fridge in the kitchen and saw that the strawberry pudding she had ced


    there earlier was gone.


    Ste then picked Felicity up and went to visit Leighton. After Felicity learned about their connection,


    she became an avid fan.


    On the way, Ste shared about the phone call she had overheard from Aurora in the morning.


    Felicity widened her eyes, "I knew that wicked girl had ill intentions! Why is she adding safflower to your


    drinks? Is she trying to induce a miscarriage?"


    Ste said, "The problem is, I haven''t drunk any vinegar before. I had it for the first time this morning,


    and it had a wax seal."


    Felicity was puzzled, "Then why did she say that?"


    Ste shrugged. She paused momentarily and added, "She told Dahlia that Keegan and I have been


    quarreling. But in reality, we haven''t had a single argument. Moreover, Keegan has been treating me


    quite welltely. So, she''s been conveying the wrong information to her mom."


    "I feel like Aurora has changed quite a bit since Keegan''s ident. Of course, it might be because I


    haven''t interacted with her much. She doesn''t seem as overbearing as before, although her way of


    speaking is still irritating," she continued.


    Felicity was skeptical. "You''re drawing conclusions too early. What was Aurora like before? I don''t


    believe she can change so quickly. I think we still need to be on guard."


    Ste nodded. Just as she was about to say something, her phone rang. It was Trevor.


    She answered the call. "Trevor, are youing back?"
