Mr. Kane Got Blacklisted (Stella and Keegan)
Mr. Kane Got Blacklisted By Eleven Jewell Chapter 276

Chapter 276

Stella furrowed her eyebrows. "If Arthur wants to see Keegan, I could just bring him over. Since we both work in the morning, no one would be home. Who would take care of him if you were to send him here? Arthur's mature in age, and if accidents were to happen, won't I be the target for complaints?"

She whispered in a low voice. "Keegan's just like us. What part of him is so good to look at?"

Albert was not satisfied and reprimanded, "What are you trying to say? Have you forgotten the time you returned to your great-grandparent's home when you were young? Arthur, who loved you the most, would give you the best of everything. Won't you fulfill his last wish since his days are already limited? How will this trouble you since you're living so well? Besides, even if Keegan has gone to work, you are still idling at home, right? How would I answer your aunts and uncles if you disagree? Pass the phone to Keegan so I can talk to him."

'He made a promise even before calling, and yet he blames me? Rather than Keegan, it would be much better to speak to me. Keegan's more vicious with his words and is very particular. Would he even agree to let a stranger in if it would negatively impact his lifestyle?'

Stella then thought, 'Fine. I'll let Keegan have the phone. Maybe his vicious tongue could make Albert back off.'

She then passed the phone to Keegan. "My father wants to speak with you."

Keegan glanced at her and took the phone. Stella could not get to sleep as she sat beside Keegan, waiting for him to reject Albert viciously. Keegan waited for Albert to finish rambling before he said indifferently, "Alright. I'll arrange for someone to clean up the guest room.'

Stella could not believe what she had heard. She waited for Keegan to hang up before asking,." Why did you agree?"

Keegan returned the phone to her. "Can I even reject it when your father has it all planned?"

'Bullshit! Has he already forgotten how many times he had heartlessly refused? What's going on with Keegan today?'

Stella pursed her lips, only to speak up after a long while, "You allowed him to come. If his being here aggravates you, you'll have to accept the consequences yourself. Don't complain to me since I never agreed to it."

Keegan's lips twitched as he said, "Are you heartless? Who do you think I did this for?"

Stella curled up in her blanket, closed her eyes, and mumbled, "I didn't want you to agree. I'll at most get scolded by father since this is not the first time anyway."

Keegan suddenly recalled the incident at the hospital, where Stella came home with a slap mark on her face after seeing Albert. It was all because Albert discovered Dahlia had not received the two boxes of white truffles.

'Albert would only treat her nicely when I'm around. Her days with the Jewell family might not have been as easy as I had imagined.'

His tossing and turning finally annoyed Stella, and she went outside with the blanket to turn in for the night.

Keegan took out his phone and pondered for a long while before he messaged Felicity, [What did Albert do to Stella?]

Felicity was in a game when she received the message. Her hands accidentally jerked, causing her to miss, and the opponent defeated her.

The teammates scolded her. "Are you trying to act like a newbie? You stole the jungle and bottom lanes, yet you missed when the enemy was right in your face? Why fight for the mage role when you don't even know how to use it?"

"Aren't you just throwing the game by picking Angela?"

"Your trashy plays wasted my chance for a rank-up!"

"I can't believe I joined a newbie team! Quickly surrender so I can start the next game!"

The corners of Felicity's mouth twitched. She turned on the mic and verbally retaliated. "I wanted to help pick the heroes since I was the first to pick, yet no one replied on their microphone. Did I smear your family name by picking a mage? How attractive is the middle lane for everyone to steal it? Don't you dare spit at me if you don't even know how to check the bushes as Yaria! The opponent jungler had already stolen several minion waves from their middle lane. Yet, our jungler was only leisurely farming in the jungle while hitchhiking as Yaria. Are you even trying? Rank up? Go rank up somewhere else! Get stuck in the Silver Order, you newbies! I'm not surrendering!"

Felicity was muted by the game when she lashed out in anger.

All her teammates were flabbergasted. She responded in kind to all their remarks by cussing at them respectively.

Only after releasing her anger did she reply to Keegan, [Mr. Kane, why don't you ask your wife directly?]

The current her was in awe, yet afraid of Keegan. She could only avoid offending him as much as possible. Keegan bit his lip. [She's asleep.]

'Why can't you ask her tomorrow?' Felicity silently cursed. 'How strange for Keegan to message just to ask about Stella.'

[Stella's father favored male over female and had always been brooding over her mother's inability to bear another child due to her weak constitution. He never gave Stella the attention she deserved. It was still bearable when her mother was still around. After her mother was met with bad luck, the family business was in a crisis. The first thing on her father's mind was to set her up in an arranged marriage.] [What despicable man would refrain from taking a beauty like her as their wife? Stella's father couldn't care less about the spouse's age difference or their previous affairs. As long as they can help him tide ove the difficulties in his business, he would marry her off to older men. It's good that she met you though you aren't perfect...]

Having slipped her tongue accidentally, Felicity paused and became cautious. She only continued after noticing Keegan's silence. [Anyway, it's gotten better since the marriage these past few years. He's afraid of you, and he'll treat Stella slightly better just for your sake.]

Felicity, having gained courage after writing all that, asked, [Mr. Kane, will you really give

Stella a billion dollars after the divorce?]

Keegan's vein twitched.

'Damn it. Just how many people did she inform about the divorce?'

Keegan maintained his poker face. [No.]

Felicity immediately panicked. [Haven't you signed the divorce papers? You're not fooling anyone.]

Keegan coldly replied, (When have I mentioned I wanted a divorce?]

[What?]

[Don't let Stella know I looked for you. Otherwise,] Keegan paused, [I can end the copyright as quickly as having you signed on for it.]

'Keegan was the one to pull the strings for the copyright sale? Why did he help me in the dark? 'thought Felicity as she pondered over the past. He framed her for stealing the rings, and she was sent to the police station. After returning, her boss immediately told her that someone wanted to buy the copyrights to her work.

'Everything was going too fast then. Now that I think about it, good and bad things normally don't come consecutively. Is Keegan trying to compensate me? What would Keegan get out of all this?'

In a moment of epiphany, Felicity came up with a weird guess. 'Could Keegan be doing it for Stella?'

If Felicity was jailed, Keegan would not get anything out of this, yet he contracted her scripts, giving her a tidy sum. The only difference was that Stella had to move back with him.

'He created such a huge fiasco so that Stella would return home on her own? This has to be a joke...'
