Mr. Kane Got Blacklisted Chapter 1651 [Eleven Jewell]

"She would've told us if she's seeing someone. One of her classmates from when she studied abroad is in town for a visit. She met up with them to show them around," said Darcie.

Wenham furrowed his brows, "Why don't I recall her mentioning it?"

"She brought it up a while ago. Stella was still unconscious then, so you might not have noticed."

Wenham sensed a hint of disapproval in Darcie's words.

After Stella reunited with the Saun family, Wenham had been emotionally neglectful toward Jaylene. Even though he treated them equally on the surface by giving Jaylene whatever he gave Stella, aside from Caline's shares, he was evidently biased.

Wenham knew he was in the wrong and suggested, "How about we invite her classmate over for dinner? It's not often they visit. Let's be hospitable and make them feel welcome."

"There's no need for that. Just let them enjoy themselves. Besides, Stella hasn't been in a good mood lately. It's better not to put her in social situations she might not want to be in," Darcie responded. Stella did not care for Darcie's indirect comments, "Dad, I'm feeling a bit tired."

"Dinner is almost ready. You should have something to eat before you rest,"

Darcie said in a concerned tone.

Stella did not look at her. Instead, she turned to Wenham and stated, "Dad, I want to rest."

Wenham immediately felt a surge of sympathy, "Then go upstairs and rest. I'll have Samantha make you something when you wake up," he said and handed Stella her phone. "Thanks, Dad."

Stella stood up and grabbed her things as she went upstairs.

Once she had left, Wenham frowned and said, "Hold off on talking about Keegan in front of Stella. Don't you see how devastated she looks? Why would you want to add to her pain?"

Trevor raised an eyebrow when he heard this. It was rare for his father to suddenly see reason.

Darcie seemed a bit aggrieved and whispered, "I just feel sorry for Keegan. How did something like this happen?"

Wenham felt uneasy upon hearing her words. Despite harboring resentment toward Keegan due to his divorce from Stella, Wenham had known him since he was a young boy. He was his best friend's son. It was only natural for Wenham to be anxious, not knowing Keegan's whereabouts or if he was still alive.

"Trevor, gather more manpower. We need to do whatever it takes to replace him.

We can't... We can't leave him all alone..." Wenham's eyes welled up with tears, and he could not continue. Trevor responded, "Got it, Dad.”

Stella was charging her phone upstairs when the screen lit up, displaying a photo of her and Keegan at Solstice Shore.

Keegan was not fond of being photographed; he would tense up as soon as a camera was pointed at him. Just before the shutter clicked, Stella turned and kissed him on the cheek. Keegan was momentarily stunned, but his eyes instantly lit up. The camera captured him gazing down at her.

Stella's eyes filled with tears. She sat on the edge of the bed, clutching her phone, motionless for a long while.

Sometime after, her phone rang, and she snapped back to reality.

It was Aldor calling. Stella picked up the phone and heard him ask, "Mrs. Kane, are you back?"

"Mhm. How are things on your side?" she replied.

Although things were far from good on Aldor's side, he knew Stella was in an even worse state. So he lied, "Everything's fine. They've found Mr. Kane's phone. Do you want it back?" The phone was to be claimed by family members. Legally, Stella and Keegan were divorced, making Dahlia the one to claim it.

Aldor used the excuse of the phone containing sensitive company documents to request it from the police. Once approved, he took possession of it.

Since Keegan was a cautious person, he would not have stored important documents on his phone. The reason Aldor took it was to give Stella something to remember him by-
