Semua Bab Mr. Kane Got Blacklisted: Bab 171 - Bab 180

At any rate, the housemaid had worked for the Kane family for many years. Hence, the words Keegan spoke were quite insensitive. Stella originally wanted to tell him to forget about it since she had taken the slap already. There was no meaning in pursuing this further.Before she could speak, she heard the housemaid stutter out, "It was... It was the missus... The missus threw away the item and did not let me...""Who are you talking to?" Before the housemaid could finish, Dahlia's voice came from the phone. Then, Dahlia took the phone."It's Mr. Kane. He's asking about the white truffles incident..."There was no sound on the other side. After a few seconds, Dahlia took over the phone. "It's just two boxes of white truffles. Do you need to call back home to interrogate people?"Keegan pursed his lips. "I just want to figure out this thing."Dahlia was infuriated. "What will you do after you figure it out? Call the cops to arrest us? She doesn't have any other talent, but her tale

A familiar voice came from the other end of the line when the call patched through.To his surprise, it was Marshall.Keegan clenched his jaw and pursed his lips, not saying anything.Having received no reply from that end, Marshall hesitated for a while before he called out, "Keegan?"Keegan then gave a short "Yes" as a reply.Marshall said, "Why can't your phone be reached?""No battery left." Keegan paused. "Are you looking for Stella?"Marshall smiled. "I'm looking for you. I could not reach your phone, so I tried calling Stella instead."'Stella...'Keegan pondered over the name as he pressed his lips."Is there anything you need?"Marshall's cleared his voice. "I've been busy these few days. When Aurora brought up the topic of your injury when I chatted with her this morning, I went to Vermont for further details. How are you feeling? Are you better now?"Keegan pinched his eyebrows and said, "I'm fine.""Vermont said the person had been caught. Do you need my help?"

"What news?" Stella pressed the corner of her eyes from the strain of reading the script on her phone."All of Zeckary's work had been taken off the shelves. I assumed she was suspended.""Who is it?""It was the original actress that was supposed to roleplay this role. She's a pretty famous female artist with many awards under her belt."Since Stella signed the contract, Felicity joined the backstage crew's WhatsApp group. That was how she came across news like Zeckary being signed up for the role before Stella did."Why was she suspended?""Rumor has it that her stand was questionable regarding a sensitive topic she published. She had eluded to being exposed a few times in the past since those were groundless accusations with no evidence. She was ruined this time because someone dug out her published remark from ten years ago. I'm guessing Daniel knew this right from the start. That's why she was dropped."'No wonder...'Such an important role should not be empty, yet they we

Vermont started to have a terrible impression of her ever since that.The Kane family could definitely afford that, but it was very spiteful of her to do that without telling her husband about it.However, Keegan told him to keep his mouth shut. Otherwise, Cordelia would never have a good impression of Stella just because of that.However, Stella had surprised Vermont too much in the recent month. He could not help but wonder if he was just prejudiced against her.'Why would Stella set Albert up if she's really on his side?'She should do whatever she can to be with Keegan if she's the type who puts money before everything else. Why would she file a divorce?' Vermont thought to himself.Besides, Stella was Dusk Galaxy.The person he idolized for so long turned out to be the person he used to hate. Perhaps he loved Dusk Galaxy so much that he could not bring himself to her anymore.Vermont glanced at Keegan and asked, "You didn't allow Albert to invest because of Stella, right?"

"I... don't think I'm going. Keegan hasn't recovered yet, and I have to stay here to take care of him."Stella spoke in a hesitant manner. Clearly, she was still very tempted to go.Vermont responded, "He's not a kid that needs you to hug and tuck him in. Just leave him at home. I'll bring you there."Keegan's eye twitched. Suddenly, he felt like stuffing something into Vermont's mouth to shut him up."Oh... Maybe... I should go then?"She asked Keegan tentatively.Keegan gazed at her. "Do whatever you want. Why are you looking at me?""Oh." And so, Stella began to ask more questions about the exhibition. "What time does it start?""Probably seven to eight at night. We'll only be able to witness the beauty of the Luminous Pearl when it's dark. Just get ready by then, and I'll come to pick you up."Vermont went offline after saying that.The study room suddenly went quiet. Stella had yet to get what she came here for, so she did not leave.Keegan was starting to find her pres
