Semua Bab Mr. Kane Got Blacklisted: Bab 1271 - Bab 1280

Keegan was stunned and took on a somewhat displeased look. "You think I'm lying? Why would I resort to something like that?" he asked.Stella quickly waved her hands and said, "I didn't mean it that way. I was just asking."Keegan's face turned cold. "Then, what did you mean?"Stella stole a glance at him, stood on her tiptoes, and whispered something into his ear.Keegan's gloomy expression shifted to bewilderment in an instant. He looked into Stella's eyes and hesitated for a long time before he finally said, "What did you learn in biology?""Huh?" Stella stared at him, as she was dumbfounded.Keegan rubbed his temples, and he seemed annoyed by the situation. He then turned to Stella and said, "Looks like I might need to give you a refresher on human anatomy."Before Stella could respond, Keegan swiftly scooped her up into his arms.Startled, Stella thumped his shoulders and angrily protested, "What are you doing?! Put me down!"Keegan looked at the woman in his arms and sai

Stella chuckled and said, "We could call the cops, but Hylda wants everyone to join in. We gotta fight fire with fire. If the police handle it quiet, her reputation stays intact."Felicity worried. Hylda was sneakier than Bella. 'That homewrecker, she twisted Albert around her finger, playing the waiting game as his secret love. Stella dashed those hopes. Now, she might try crazy stuff since her cash flow's drying up.'"Stella, maybe you should have Keegan arrange a bodyguard for you. I'm worried you might get beaten up.While they talked, Keegan strolled in shirtless, wearing boxers like it's his home. It was early morning, and Stella was more than happy to enjoy the view.Keegan had an amazing physique. Muscles stood out, and Stella could not help peeking more than once.Keegan had just woken up and felt a little groggy. When he saw Stella sitting cross-legged on the couch, sipping from her cup, he asked, "Got water?"Stella pointed to the kitchen, "Yep, there. Cups in the cupb

'Why the hell is he blaming me? Does he even remember what he said about the ripped jeans?' thought Stella. She recalled Keegan had looked at her indifferently and said, "Can't you afford clothes without holes? How expensive can normal clothing be? It's one thing for Aurora to dress like that at her age, but you're a married woman; could you dress a bit more maturely?"Naturally, that did not go down well with Stella. She felt offended because she was only a few years older than Aurora. So, she bought a few more pairs of ripped jeans and wore them every day, purposely showing them off in front of Keegan.By coincidence, autumn arrived and brought rain for over half a month. Stella preferred sun-dried clothes since air-drying left a lingering smell, and machine-drying made clothes feel less fresh. As a result, a pile of dirty clothes accumulated and remained unwashed.When the skies finally cleared, the housekeeper tossed everything into the washer, unintentionally causing some of th

"I want to inquire about the best day for Xenia to get the C-section according to God's plan," said Albert.Stella was at a loss for words. 'When did Albert become so godly? Where was this behavior when he decided to hurt her wife of twenty years?' she thought as her face tightened with displeasure.Keegan grabbed her hand and gently rubbed his thumb over it, trying to soothe her. "I'm not sure. I'll have to ask," he answered Albert indifferently.He paused briefly before adding, "Mr. Jewell, while I may not be a spiritual person, I find tampering with destiny and manipulating life events through artificial means to be violating divine favor. Instead of seeking spiritual guidance, perhaps doing good deeds to create more blessings for the child might be more beneficial."Albert's expression momentarily stiffened upon hearing that. He contemplated about it and said, "That makes sense." He then reminded Keegan to get the venerable's number and hung up.After the call ended, Stella co

"Coffee," stated Keegan."Tea," replied Marshall.Stella hesitated momentarily, then glanced at Keegan and suggested, "You might as well have some tea too. It would save us from firing up the coffee machine."Keegan looked slightly displeased about the situation but chose not to argue.Marshall pressed his lips together slightly as he watched the scene unfold. 'Brewing tea was also a bit of a hassle,' he thought. The fact that Stella did not ask him to accommodate Keegan's request felt respectful, yet created a sense of unfamiliarity between them.Keegan settled onto the nearby couch, maintaining a comfortable distance from Stella. He turned to Marshall and asked, "How's the injury?"Marshall opened up his palm to show Keegan the wound. Though it was healed, the scar remained prominent. It would likely need some time to fade. "It's alright," he said."Given your experience, you don't really need to take on cases like that. The pay isn't a lot, and there are tons of risks involve
