Chapter 2320
Feeling overwhelmed by the female spirits of the group and unwilling to lie or provoke his wife''s ire, Keegan opted for honesty and spilled the beans about the entire situation.
Ste''s expression turned stern. "So you believe I''m secretly going on blind dates behind your back? That''s why you added me on a fake ount, trying to catch me cheating?"
Keegan promptly refuted, "Absolutely not! How could you ever doubt me?"
"Then why did you use a fake ount to deceive me?"
Keegan whispered, "Aunt Jacobsen mentioned you added seven or eight blind date candidates, and I was just curious why."
Impatiently, Ste retorted, "What else could I do? Didn''t you see? I''m contemting recing you!"
Keegan, acknowledging his fault, softly apologized, "Ste, I genuinely didn''t doubt you. I was just envious. Your uncle and aunt suggested so many blind date candidates for you, and I realized they don''t favor me much. It hurt my feelings."
Ste''s anger was calmed by his admission, especially upon hearing "they don''t favor me much," which surprisingly evoked sympathy.
Sighing, Ste exined, "My uncle and aunt don''t know your memory has returned; they assumed we were done. They don''t dislike you, and those people weren''t introduced by them. I asked them to keep an eye out."
Puzzled, Keegan asked, "You asked them for help?"
Ste replied, "Let me show you something."
Quickly, Ste sent him a recording.
In the recording, Keegan saw Ste''s WhatsApp with seven "socializing groups," each featuring a "male guest," and the other members were identical to the one he left.
Ste borated, "Recently, at our department gathering, I met a high school ssmate. After chatting for a while, one of the girls discreetly asked about that male ssmate. So, I gave his WhatsApp to her. They hit it off quickly and are deeply in love. That girl ims I introduced them. Since then, people have been asking me privately for decent men."
She continued, "Among them are colleagues with high positions, often confined to small circles, making it hard to meet new people. I was concerned about them not getting a chance to interact with men, so I tried introducing men. Money or men, one would surely tempt them, right?"
"Icked enough eligible men, so I asked my uncle and aunt to help. I''ve connected some decent people, and now some are couples, while others are in the ambiguous stage."
Ste concluded, "Ever since these

Keegan was momentarily speechless.
She had mastered the art of

influence people. He recalled ce

Keegan said, "Why didn''t you tell me you were looking for male guests? I could''ve introduced some."
Ste scoffed, "Aside from work, you avoid acquaintances. Do you, with your social anxiety, have resources?"
Keegan was struck speechless.
