Mr. Kane Got Blacklisted (Stella and Keegan)
Mr. Kane Got Blacklisted By Eleven Jewell Chapter 175

Chapter 175

"What news?" Stella pressed the corner of her eyes from the strain of reading the script on her phone.

"All of Zeckary's work had been taken off the shelves. I assumed she was suspended."

"Who is it?"

"It was the original actress that was supposed to roleplay this role. She's a pretty famous female artist with many awards under her belt."

Since Stella signed the contract, Felicity joined the backstage crew's WhatsApp group. That was how she came across news like Zeckary being signed up for the role before Stella did. "Why was she suspended?"

"Rumor has it that her stand was questionable regarding a sensitive topic she published. She had eluded to being exposed a few times in the past since those were groundless accusations with no evidence. She was ruined this time because someone dug out her published remark from ten years ago. I'm guessing Daniel knew this right from the start. That's why she was dropped."

'No wonder...

'Such an important role should not be empty, yet they were replaceing immediate substitutes at the last minute. I was very unlucky to be picked for this role.'

"This role of yours is popular, and many had their eyes on it. Daniel had received a lot of recommendations when the news of Zeckary's suspension came out, not knowing that you had already been confirmed by Daniel. That's why we should stay low-key from now until the end of the shoot to avoid any accidents."

The previous actor taking the role of the Queen still got blackmailed. Felicity's worry was not unfounded as things happen in this circle. Daniel, having known of this concern, recruited the lead role secretively. Even when he had done that, the original actor taking on the Queen's role was still blackmailed.

Having her remark from ten years ago dug up was quite sneaky.

Daniel chose Stella because he had taken a liking to her. On the other hand, it was to infuriate the perpetrator working behind the scenes.

He was indirectly trying to tell that person, "Even if someone was dropped, that role would not be for them."

That was why Stella, to a certain degree, was unlucky to have been picked for this role.

She may be new and lack any solid background, but that was why it won't cause a huge fuss if she was messed with.

Behind the chance, Daniel gave her lies to trap her. It would be up to her own strength to avoid the trap.

"Who do you think did this?"

Felicity sneered. "Most likely the one who wants this role the most.

Stella pursed her lips.

Kelly was aggressively promoting Bella during the auditions. Kelly would not have done that were it not for their past working relationship.

'If it really is Bella, then did Keegan have a hand in suspending Zeckary as well?'

In the study, as everyone gradually logged off from the virtual meeting, Vermont looked at Keegan's screen. He hesitated a moment before asking, "Do you really plan to let Albert invest in Semiconductor Technology?"

Vermont felt perplexed.

As the year's most promising technology company that deals with semiconductors, Semiconductor Technologies was highly anticipated by investors.

Once the Northon Trading Center approved the supporting documents and listed the company on its board, it can start profiting.

He could not understand why Keegan would let Albert have a share after he painstakingly grew the company.

To put Albert in a more positive light, he was smooth. To put it bluntly, he was pragmatic, speculative, short-sighted, and avaricious. Since the marriage, he had been actively using the Kane family's name to bring in business deals.

Investing in Semiconductor Technologies, on the front, was to support research and

development. To put it bluntly, he found potential in this company when it became listed and wanted to benefit from others' efforts.

If he really wanted to support research and development, he should already be aware of it when Keegan was busy looking for potential shareholders to buy out Semiconductor Technologies. Why did he not invest then?

Who was he trying to lie to by hypocritically saying that he wanted to support the research and development when the company was going through most grueling period and turning a profit?

To a significant degree, Vermont's bias toward Stella came from Albert's greed.
