Semua Bab Mr. Kane Got Blacklisted: Bab 1821 - Bab 1830

'And that medicine...'Keegan thought of the sound of wind chimes he heard every time he was in a daze. Lowering his gaze, he absentmindedly tapped the tabletop with his fingers.Aldor was very intrigued by Keegan's insights, so he asked, "How do you know?""I..." Keegan paused and said lightly, "Asked about it before."'Asked about it? Mr. Kane isn't mentally ill, so for whom did he consult?' Aldor thought to himself.Keegan stood up, took the documents to the shredder, and tossed them in. The documents were instantly shredded into bits.He threw those bits into the ashtray, took out a lighter, ignited the bits, and watched the flames flicker. "Don't tell anyone about this matter," he said flatly.Aldor asked in a low voice, "Including Mrs. Kane?"Keegan nodded.Aldor was about to say "Okay" but suddenly froze. He just called Stella "Mrs. Kane," but Keegan said nothing!Aldor cautiously asked, "Mr. Kane, have you remembered everything?"Keegan's gaze remained lowered as he

Stella then stood up and headed to the kitchen with the strawberries in her hand.Coincidentally, Aurora came down from upstairs. Stella paused, asking, "Are you going out?"Aurora glanced at her and ignored her.Stella asked again, "I'm making strawberry pudding for Keegan. Do you want some?"Aurora hesitated for a moment and casually replied, "I don't care."Stella gritted her teeth, 'If it weren't for you doing me a favor these past two days, I wouldn't even talk to you!'She took a deep breath, telling herself not to argue with Aurora, 'I'm pregnant and have to keep myself happy, happy..."Stella had not cooked anything in a long time, so she was afraid of messing it up. She called Felicity to get the recipe again and then started working.Meanwhile, Felicity had just hung up the phone and told Vermont, "After Stella got pregnant, it seems like she's become more amiable. She used to hate Aurora, but just now, on the phone, she even said she would make strawberry pudding for

Felicity hesitated before finally voicing her concern, "But what if Keegan falls for Jaylene during this time?"Her question amused Vermont. He answered, "Baby, Jaylene and Keegan go way back. They're childhood friends. If Keegan had feelings for her, he wouldn't have gotten together with Stella. I will personally show Jaylene the way out if Keegan ever betrays your best friend."Vermont's response left Felicity surprised. He certainly had a way with words.Despite Felicity's initial resentment, she somewhat agreed with Vermont after his persuasive spiel. Finally, she pressed her lips together and said after a while, "If you don't follow through—""I'll never be able to have children," Vermont interjected, completing the latter half of her sentence.Felicity's anger toward him dissipated.Vermont took her hand and said, "Let's go. It's time to see why Keegan is hanging out with Jaylene."Jaylene handed Keegan a glass of wine, "Keegan, try this. It's a special selection from a wi

Felicity was not naive. Usually, hearing such words would have triggered her anger. However, she managed to keep her cool due to Vermont's advice.If this had happened elsewhere, Felicity would have unleashed a verbal storm on Jaylene without a second thought. Yet, surrounded by Stella's acquaintances, Felicity exercised restraint to avoid embarrassing her friend."Ms. Saun, you, too, have a unique taste. Most of my friends prefer single and unmarried individuals. This is the first time I've encountered someone who appreciates divorced men with girlfriends."Jaylene's expression stiffened.Felicity batted her eyelashes and continued, "Is this a particular preference of yours? I happen to know quite a few divorced men. Do you want me to introduce them to you? Though, my friends have higher standards. It might not work out between you two if they have girlfriends. Of course, some with questionable morals might be more to your liking."Jaylene's face darkened.Felicity expected Jayl

Felicity noticed that Vermont, who was usually talkative, appeared exceptionally composed during the toasting session."Aren't you a sentimental man, Mr. Snyder? Bringing your current girlfriend to your ex-girlfriend's engagement banquet," Jaylene suddenly remarked.Felicity's body tensed, and she shot Vermont a sharp look.She had noticed the bride glancing her way continuously, 'What an ass! I can't believe he chose to humiliate me like this!'With a cold expression, Vermont said, "Ms. Saun, we're at Xander's engagement banquet. Please choose your words carefully."Jaylene chuckled, "I was just making conversation. Mr. Raynor wouldn't have invited you if he minded your presence."Felicity looked at the tasty dishes before her, but her appetite was completely gone.Vermont grabbed a piece of fish for Felicity and whispered, "It's boneless. Try it."Felicity took a deep breath and thought, 'That pretentious witch is just trying to create conflict between us. There's no reason f
