Mr. Kane Got Blacklisted (Stella and Keegan) -
Chapter 385
Chapter 385
Felicity messaged Stella. [Is that mutt, Keegan, close with Doctor Steven?]
Stella replied, [I think so.]
[If you let that mutt, Keegan, help to ask around about Doctor Steven, I'll even let the both of you be our wedding witness. ]
Stella would naturally help Felicity even if she did not ask her. Putting aside Corbin's family background, his attitude must be passable. When the crowd was done exchanging pleasantries, Stella whispered questioningly at Keegan. "Are you acquainted with Doctor Steven?"
Keegan shot a glance at her. "I'm not."
Stella frowned. "Why did he talk to you if you aren't acquainted with him?"
Keegan said indifferently, "Many will take a shot to be acquainted with me. Do you think I would be acquainted with all of them?"
Stella choked at that reply. Keegan was not intentionally avoiding the topic. He was really not close with Corbin and had only seen Corbin during some dinner parties Vermont organized. It was only a hi-and- bye relationship, and Keegan was not privy to his background.
Stella's anger arose, still doubting he was hiding something from her.
Keegan was normally in the limelight in these settings. Within moments, he had already gathered a crowd. Stella, who was unable to enter the conversation, stood aside and thought of how she could pry information about Corbin.
Right at that moment, Stella found Marshall conversing with Corbin. The both of them seemed quite close to each other. Stella immediately brought a glass of wine and entered the conversation. "Mr. Moore, would you like some wine?"
Marshall turned his head and his gaze softened upon seeing Stella. He took it and warmly said, "Thank you."
Stella went with the flow and walked in front of them. "Hello, Doctor Steven."
Corbin politely replied, "Hello, Mrs. Kane."
Marshall asked, "Do you two know each other?"
"Not really. I've brought a friend to Doctor Steven's place just that one time. To think that we'd meet again here."
Corbin, who did not expect that Stella was Keegan's wife, replied, "This truly is a coincidence."
Marshall soon began introducing Corbin to Stella. Corbin, being the only son, came from a well-to-do family. They knew each other but were not well -acquainted. It was only when Marshall went overseas to treat his illness that he became acquainted with
Corbin, who was doing an internship abroad at that time. Having finished the introductions, Marshall added," Corbin is Mr. Lewie's nephew."
Corbin replied with a smile, "I can't believe I still can't get anyone to remember me without mentioning my uncle."
"That's not true." Stella courteously replied, "Doctor Steven is very impressive to be able to become associate director at such a young age." Corbin replied, "Does Mrs. Kane love opera?"
Stella replied, "I'm good. It's mostly my mother. She loves Mr. Lewie's work a lot. It was such a waste for Mr. Lewie to stop singing."
"Uncle pushed himself too hard when he was young and became ail as he aged. He stopped going on stage due to health reasons."
Marshall said, "I remember when Mr. Lewie was at the peak of his career, he could run more than ten shows per day and all of them are full-housed. Getting even a ticket wasn't easy. The amount of show he ran should be in the five digits, right?"
Corbin smiled. "No. It's only a total of nine thousand, seven hundred and forty-three shows."
Stella was astonished. "Nine thousand, seven hundred and forty-three..."
She pursued her mouth and her expression instantly turned serious. Swiftly, she placed the glass down and said, ' Please excuse me."
As soon as she finished speaking, she went to a corner and took out her phone, scrolling to the picture of the cassettes with the numbers on them.
