Chapter 883
“It’s gone.”
The moment Marshall spoke, Stella’s entire body relaxed. However, she was driven
by her curiosity and could not help but glance at his handkerchief. Then, she could not
help but curse, “Fuck!”
Marshall was speechless.
He gripped his handkerchief, and within it was a bush cricket. Its plump legs were still
kicking around wildly as its thin, long antennae moved about. Stella was terrified and
felt her entire body itch like insects were crawling on her.
“Take it away! Take it away! Take it away!”
Stella no longer cared about her image and slapped his arm, telling him to dispose of
the insect quickly. Marshall chuckled. Then, he took the insect outside and set it free.
When he returned, Stella was wiping her hair with a wet wipe an attendant had given
her. She still looked a little pale and seemed rather shaken up.
The actresses with her were no longer around and had probably gone upstairs.
Seeing how Marshall had returned, Stella handed him two wet wipes to wipe his
hands. He took the wet wipes and wiped his hands while saying,” Bush crickets aren’t
venomous and don’t bite.”
“But they look scary,” Stella said.
At the thought of the creature’s appearance, she felt her skin crawl again.
Stella was terrified of insects with long legs and mandibles. Over the summer, she
would not dare to sleep at all if one had flown into the house.
She would only rest after waking Keegan and getting him to catch the insect.
Once, Keegan brought the insect over and showed it to her after he had caught it.
However, he did not hold the insect properly, and it sprung onto her face while she
looked at it.
That night, Stella hurled all of the curses she knew at Keegan. Then, she did not let
Keegan into their bedroom for the entire week.
Stella was already afraid of insects, but what Keegan did worsened it. Now, she felt
her skin crawl whenever she saw such insects.
‘If Marshall didn’t stop me just now and I had touched it with my own hands, I probably
would’ve been so afraid that I’d disco dance in front of everyone and embarrass
myself big time,’ she thought.
At this thought, she lifted her head and asked Marshall, ”1 didn’t embarrass myself too
much just now, right?”
“Its ownership is pretty evident if there’s a will present. Even though they repaid the
loan as husband and wife, they also used the loan money together as husband and
wife, so this has little to do with the matter.
Besides, I’ve seen the documents you sent over. The house is self-built and has a title
deed. Since that’s the case, the does not permit Albert to use this land for buying or
selling purposes.’
Stella was delighted.
“So you’re saying there’s a high chance I could recover this house?”
Marshall nodded.
“Let me know when you’re free. I can accompany you to the Housing Authority. It’s
better for you to personally visit the site and see if it’s really like what Albert said, that
it hasn’t been resold and is unoccupied.”
“Alright,” Stella said and paused momentarily. Then, she asked in a low voice, “Why
don’t you let your intern go with me? Then, I could help him enhance his professional
skills?”
Marshall turned to her. Suddenly, he asked, “Stella, did something I do make you feel
uncomfortable?’
