Chapter 2268

Wren felt a wave of panic. "I really don't need..." "Just take it!" Aubrey insisted coldly. "It's a gesture from Ms. Arnold. Don't let her down."

Wren's eyelashes trembled as she reluctantly accepted the money, bowing deeply. "Please thank Ms. Arnold for me."

Aubrey's eyes flashed with a hint of disdain, which quickly disappeared." Ms. Hall speaking up for you means she values you. You should appreciate her kindness and not take it lightly."

They didn't want her to sour her relationship with Stella...

Wren kept her head low, speaking softly. "When I was in need, it was Ms. Arnold who offered me a job. A helping hand in times o need is more valuable than in times of abundance. I'll always remember that."

Aubrey looked at her unexpectedly for a moment, then said, "That's good to know. Keep the money safe and hidden."

Wren took off her coat and tucked the money into her clothes.

Aubrey seemed satisfied as she patted Wren's shoulder and left.

Wren felt her tense nerves relax slightly. She hugged her clothes tightly, remembering Stella's expression as she left, feeling a pang in her heart.

She had no choice. She needed this job. Even with Stella's support, she couldn't afford to offend Darcie. There were still things she needed to figure out...

Stella had just stepped into the office when Larry knocked on the door.

Stella didn't invite him in. She was seething with anger, and she knew if

Larry came in, she wouldn't be able to control her tone. Larry was almost twenty years her senior, and she couldn't bring herself to reprimand someone so much older.

Why hadn't he told her he needed money and wanted to work for the company? If it weren't for today's incident, who knows how long he would have kept it hidden.

She hired him because she thought he had extensive driving experience, lived nearby, was responsible for his disabled wife and child, and had a strong sense of duty. She didn't expect him to be so confused!

Stella was annoyed, but then she received a transfer from the betting group's moderator, with her bet amount and winnings.

Suddenly, she had over a hundred thousand more. Stella's mood eased a bit.

She transferred eighty thousand to Keegan.

Keegan replied after a few minutes, "Did you hit the jackpot?"

Stella got up and went to the tree vase, dug out the bugs inside, broke them open, and threw them into the water. Then she called Keegan.

Keegan thought she was having an affair and asked quietly, "Why are you calling me? Aren't you in the office?"

Stella said, "I broke the bugs and threw them away. I want to hear your voice."

Keegan was silent for a moment. "Although I'm flattered by your romantic gesture, those bugs could have been used to report eavesdroppers."

Stella was stunned. "Why didn't you remind me earlier?"

Keegan said, "I didn't expect you to just throw them away."

Suddenly, Stella felt even more despondent. "If I report it, how long will she be sentenced for?"

Keegan said, "Maybe a fine of five hundred."

Stella was rendered speechless.

She had no expression. "Are you kidding me?"

Keegan chuckled softly. "You're not in a good mood. What's wrong?"

Stella sighed and confided in him about the company's affairs. "You know, when Sonia concocted the oil, I was as excited as a kid in a candy store. I just wanted to wipe the smirks off the mother and daughter's faces, but it turns out my driver betrayed me. He was the one who broke it, and I'm the one who got slapped in the face. I'm furious."

Keegan teased, "You're angry but still sent me a money pouch. You're getting more and more gutsy, huh?"
