    Chapter 1955


    "Oh, I see..." Keegan pondered, a realization dawning on him. "I always assumed the person who set


    the password was sending me a message."


    Ste kept quiet, her mind racing. She vividly remembered the curious nce Keegan had given her


    when she set the password. She thought, ''Did he always interpret it that way? No wonder he seemed


    restless that night, mumbling about being more straightforward in the future.''


    Understanding dawned on Ste, and her expression shifted through various emotions before settling


    into a stiff expression. She remarked, "You really do have a wild imagination."


    Keegan noticed her embarrassment, a flicker of pleasure in his eyes. But soon, reflecting on her


    evasive behavior, his smile waned. He wondered, ''One moment she''s


    affectionate, the next, she''s secretive with a phone call. Who was she talking to that made her feel so


    guilty?''


    As he nced at her phone, Ste quickly tucked it into her bag. Disappointed, Keegan thought, ''Fine.


    I''ll find out who''s trying to pull her away from me.''


    After dropping Ste off at Royalpark Vi, Keegan departed, suspecting Dahlia might not confess


    easily and her backup might already be on their way to meet her. He knew he had to look into it


    personally.


    As soon as Keegan left, Ste rushed to her bedroom and dialed into the group voice call. The trio


    connected promptly.


    "Why did you hang up on my calls?" Vermont asked, disbelief in his voice.


    Ste exined apologetically, "Sorry, sorry. Keegan was right there. I couldn''t risk it."


    Vermont sounded puzzled. "But we were just chatting. Why act like you''re in the midst of an affair?"


    Ste was uneasy. Even liking a video of a male inte celebrity would make Keegan paranoid. He


    could imagine her being unfaithful countless times and her guilty behavior would only fuel his

    suspicions.


    "I''m sharing some insider information, don''t get me in trouble!" Vermont warned.


    "Don''t worry,” Ste assured. "What we discuss stays between us. My lips are sealed."


    Felicity chimed in urgently, "Hurry up and share. Keegan might return at any moment."


    Vermont felt awkward as if they were indeed embroiled in an affair, with his girlfriend keeping the


    lookout.


    Resigned, he began, "I know only a little about Marshall''s first love. They met during his senior year.


    "She wasn''t from the same university but worked part-time at a coffee shop near Trinity University.


    Marshall frequented that coffee shop for his writing, and that''s how they got


    acquainted.


    "After his graduate exams, he introduced her to us.


    "Her name''s Willow Jenning, a year older than Marshall. She wasn''t satisfied with her job after half a


    year, so she decided to try for a postgraduate degree at Trinity University.


    "She rented a ce nearby and worked part-time to support herself while preparing for the exams.


    "Willow wasn''t strikingly beautiful, but she was lively and had a great personality. Coming from an


    average family, her confidence and interesting conversation stood out.


    Marshall, when with her, only had eyes for her.


    "We were happy for him. Unlike Keegan, who pursued his interests and excelled, Marshall faced


    familial pressure, his achievements overshadowed by ack of personal happiness."
