Mr. Kane Got Blacklisted (Stella and Keegan)
Chapter 2185

With teary eyes, Dahlia clasped Jaylene's hand. "Jaylene, you're such a gem. I truly appreciate your help, thank you so much. I promise, once the funds from the orders come through, I'll repay you the twenty million."

Jaylene waved it off, feeling a tad embarrassed. "Aunt Dahlia, please don't mention it. I genuinely regard you and Keegan as family. How could I sit idle when you're in trouble? I'll contact the bank right away to transfer the money, and you can proceed to save Uncle."

Dahlia poured out her gratitude, lavishing Jaylene with compliments.

However, Jaylene didn't have that much liquid capital at hand. Normally, she would have turned to Trevor for a loan, but this situation involved Dahlia. Trevor still harbored resentment toward her for her treatment of Stella back in the Kane household. If he knew this money was for Dahlia, he definitely wouldn't lend it.

Asking Darcie was out of the question. Darcie wished for nothing more than to sever all ties between her and Keegan.

After careful thought, Jaylene decided to mortgage her villa under her name.

Once she secured the money, she promptly transferred it to Dahlia.

Upon hearing the news, Stella was taken aback.

She nudged Keegan, who was reading nearby. "Are you touched? Twenty million just like that, without a second thought. Jaylene's affection for you runs deep."

Keegan pulled her foot onto his lap, flipping through his book. "Didn't you also take two hundred and fifty million? Your affection runs even deeper."

Stella scoffed. "Don't pat yourself on the back. I didn't just receive it for free. I won it back from your uncle. What Jaylene gave was genuine money.

She did it purely out of consideration for you. Aren't you touched at all?" Keegan glanced at her. "You want me to be touched?"

Stella looked away. "Just curious."

She wasn't trying to test Keegan; she just felt unsettled inside.

A man pursuing a woman was different from a woman pursuing a man.

Even if Keegan didn't fancy Jaylene's type, consistently being put first in someone's heart could eventually evoke feelings of tenderness and pity. Once a man began feeling pity for a woman, falling in love was only a matter of time.

As the saying goes, men fear commitment while women fear abandonment.

Moreover, Jaylene was quite adept at this. Suddenly, Stella worried that one day she might actually push Keegan away.

Keegan suddenly chuckled, and Stella frowned. "What's so funny?"

Stella's ears flushed, and she slapped his hand lightly, glaring at him." You're the petty one!"
