Mr. Kane Got Blacklisted By Eleven Jewell Chapter 48
Chapter 48
"Let's grab a meal first. You can think while we eat. If you really can't remember, we'll hire a private investigator. We'll avenge your mom."
Stella laughed.
'If my mother were conscious, she would've fought Albert to the very end and turned the world upside down. She's someone who can't tolerate infidelity. I don't want things to get to that point; I just want to figure out who that woman is and why I replace her so familiar,' she thought.
The following day, Stella was woken up by her phone in the middle of her slumber.
She frowned and picked up the phone. Then, she groggily said, "Hello? Who's this?"
"You're not awake yet, Stella?"
Stella was instantly terrified by the woman's steady voice on the other end. She hastily got up from the bed and cleared her throat before she said in a low voice, "Dahlia? What's wrong?"
Dahlia responded coolly, "A few of my friends are coming over today. Come over and help me entertain
them."
Stella was incredibly reluctant.
Dahlia's friends were all wealthy ladies. Since Dahlia had never been good with handling these people, she naturally did not want to go.
She refused and said, "Isn't Keegan home? He's more capable of interacting with older women. I'm not very eloquent, so I'm worried that it'll be awkward."
"Keegan went out with his friends. Otherwise, I wouldn't have asked you to come. You'll interact with plenty of people in the future when you go out with Keegan. Don't tell me you're always going to avoid them? If people hear about this, they would think that the Kane family's daughter-in-law is undignified."
Stella stopped talking.
"Come over as soon as you're ready," Dahlia said.
Then, she hung up.
Stella had no choice but to get ready and head to Dahlia's place.
Dahlia used to be a socialite in Rivera in her younger days. After she married into the Kane family, her social circle and status gradually expanded along with the prominence of the Kane family. She often had gatherings with the ladies that were acquainted with the Kane family's business. Rather than catching up, they were actually probing each other and exchanging information.
The things that men could not say directly were best secretly conveyed by women.
The three ladies arrived around 10 o'clock. Stella had met Mrs. Wood and Mrs. Chapman before and sort of knew them. However, she had not seen Mrs. White before, so the woman looked somewhat unfamiliar.
Stella could not tell the difference between Mrs. White and the other two ladies solely from their attire. However, when the few were talking, Stella could evidently tell that Mrs. White was more arrogant. Aside from that, Mrs. Wood and Mrs. Chapman were obviously easing up on her. Dahlia also seemed closer to
Mrs. White than to others.
When Stella brought the fruit platter over, Mrs. White looked up and gave her a once-over. Then, she said slowly, "So, this is your daughter-in-law, Dalia. She's quite the looker."
Dahlia smiled coolly but did not respond.
After setting down the fruit platter, Stella left.
Mrs. Chapman waited for Stella before she asked, "Dahlia, about the medicine previously, was it
effective? Any news?"
"There's no news yet."
"How many doctors has it been? She should be pregnant by now. Does she have some kind of condition?"
Dahlia lowered her gaze and slowly said, "Her medical checkup showed that she was fine. I, too, don't know why she isn't getting pregnant."
"How sinister. Don't tell me that her and Keegan's horoscopes are incompatible?"
Mrs. Wood said, "Do we even need to look at their horoscope? None of it was up to par with the Kane family, from her family to her upbringing. I wonder what your mother-in-law likes about her."
"I heard she and her mother got into the car accident together. The passenger seat got the most damage, but she was completely unscathed even though she was in the passenger seat. On the other hand, he mother was left comatose. Tell me, isn't that sinister?"
