Mr. Kane Got Blacklisted (Stella and Keegan)
Chapter 2244

Chapter 2244

Stella's interest was piqued. "Who?'

Keegan handed her the phone. "My 'mistress'."

That single sentence nearly caused Vermont's brain to overheat on the other end of the line.

"What in the world are you talking about?" Stella glanced at Keegan, and from his expression, she could sense his "appreciation", instantly feeling relieved.

Excitedly, Vermont burst out, "What's going on with you two? How can you acknowledge your mistress so boldly in front of your wife?"

Ignoring Vermont's outburst, Stella decided to investigate the situation a bit. Instead of replying to Jaylene's message, she asked, "Jaylene, is your injury better now? Are you still in pain?"

Keegan's eyelid twitched. "That's too much! Am I the kind to be so cheesy?"

Reflecting on it, Stella deleted the "are you still in pain" part.

Still unsatisfied, Keegan said, 'Don't make it sound so intimate. When I met Mrs. Esper last time, I made it clear I wouldn't contact her again. If she sees this, she'll think I've loosened my boundaries and start clinging to me."

So, Stella deleted "Are you still in pain?" and changed it to "I haven't made any plans yet. Do you have any suggestions?"

Shaking his head, Keegan said, "Discussing how to spend a birthday is something only close people would talk about. By asking her like this, what do you think she'll imagine?"

Stella's temples throbbed. "Shut up and stop talking! We agreed that I would handle your mistress. Why are you dissatisfied now?"

"I agreed to let you handle it, but you can't reply recklessly. You need to be practical," Keegan retorted.

Vermont was on the verge of despair. "What mistress? Since when did Keegan have a mistress? Is it a man or a woman? How old are they? Do I know them? How did this happen?"

Then he started scolding Keegan. "Keegan, your wife is pregnant, and you're looking for a mistress, even keeping it from me! Where's your integrity as a man?"

Keegan's lips twitched. "Shut up! It's none of your business!"

Feeling righteous, Vermont declared, "Stella's business is my business.

Just because you're my brother, don't think I'll side with you. This is a matter of principle! Come on, Stella, tell me about the mistress. I'll help you sort her out! What's the point of getting involved with someone so young? Being a mistress and ruining someone else's family is immoral!"

Eager to dive into the gossip, Vermont was ready to take action. Whether or not he actually did anything was secondary; the main thing was that Keegan having a mistress was truly explosive gossip, and he was ready to feast on it.

With a dark expression, Keegan and Stella couldn't help but suppress a chuckle.

"Do you really want to know?" Stella teased.

"I've only just managed to reconcile you two, and I haven't even had the chance to drink the wedding toast. Whoever tries to break you up will be my sworn enemy!" Vermont exclaimed.

Unable to hold back, Keegan retorted, "You numbskull! What reconciliation did you manage? You're just causing trouble for me!"

Trying to justify himself, Vermont said, "I willingly sacrificed myself to become the touchstone of your relationship. You used to get things too easily, so you always made Stella angry. But look at you now, are you still as daring?"

Keegan was too angry to speak. How did he end up being friends with this guy!

Teasing Keegan, Stella said, "See, if you flirt around, I don't even need to move a finger. Your brother can even deliver you to me. That's charisma."

Vermont, getting increasingly anxious, pressed, "Will you two just answer me? Who is this mistress?"

Just because Keegan didn't dare provoke Stella didn't mean he wouldn't dare provoke Vermont, the fence-sitter. With a sneer, he said, "I'm not telling you. Enjoy guessing!"

And then he hung up.

Gossip enthusiast! Good luck sleeping tonight!

After deliberating for a while, Stella finally replied with just one sentence, "I don't know."

But what she didn't know was that on the other end, Jaylene had been staring at the "typing" indicator for a long time.
