Semua Bab Mr. Kane Got Blacklisted: Bab 1871 - Bab 1880

Aldor and Aurora were equally perplexed, unable to understand Keegan's anger.Aurora, realizing the predicament Cordelia had put her in with Aldor, turned to her brother Keegan for support. She cautiously said, "Keegan, Grandma wants me to get engaged to Aldor."Keegan took a moment, glanced at Aldor, and dryly commented, "Marrying my sister doesn't mean a pay raise."Their speechlessness reflected their surprise at his response.Aurora couldn't believe it. She pressed, "Is that all you're going to say?"Keegan pondered, then added, "Once you make this choice, there's no going back."Aurora's hopes sank. She had expected Keegan to be vehemently against the idea. 'How can he be okay with his subordinate marrying his sister? We're from different worlds, and I've been nothing but harsh to Aldor! Has Keegan lost his mind?'Trying to reason with her brother, Aurora pointed out, "Look at us, Keegan. Do you really think Aldor and I are a good match?"Keegan's indifferent reply caught

The closet on the east side of the master bedroom was filled with lingerie.Some of them were bought by Stella, while others were gifts from Keegan.Only the two of them knew about what was in the closet. It was clear what Stella was insinuating.The sound from the other end of the line made Stella's heart skip a beat. 'C-Could he...'"Could you please be a bit more careful?"​​Keegan's voice on the other line was calm and indifferent. It sounded like he was talking to someone else.Meanwhile, in Cordelia's home, Aldor looked at Keegan with confusion as he picked up the phone from the ground. He blinked at his boss after being scolded.Keegan shot him a glare, and he jolted, saying, "Apologies, Mr. Kane..?"Stella, who had been expecting something else, instantly became disheartened. 'Did I overthink it?'Keegan glanced at Aldor with satisfaction and said, "Get out."After sending Aldor away, he asked, "What did you say about the closet in the bedroom just now?""It's nothin

Stella's words were a clear, undisguised jab at Jaylene's previously feigned illness during the family reunion​​.Jaylene's face turned pallid with anger. "You—"Possibly anticipating another impulsive remark, Darcie finally intervened, "Stella, the essential oil you have isn't made from roses. I detect scents of sandalwood, chamomile, and wild orchid, but not roses."Stella hesitated, furrowing her brows. "That's not right. They specifically told me it was infused with roses. I bought it because roses are my favorite."Trevor's eyelid twitched. 'Huh? Wasn't she obsessed with sunflowers?'"Some sellers might intentionally claim certain ingredients to boost sales, especially in the field of fragrances. Ordinary users find it difficult to discern the exact additives, making them vulnerable to deception. You can come to our company next time you want some essential oils. Tell me the fragrance you desire, and I can personally help you create a blend," Darcie replied softly.Stella sm

Stella recalled the post she made to scare Keegan.She was surprised to see Marshall at her house. 'Why isn't he celebrating New Year's with his family?' she thought.However, she found it impolite to send him away, as he was already at the door.Stella took the wine, thanked him, and smiled. "I just reposted someone else's picture for fun. I assumed that not many people would check their social media on New Year's.""I just finished work and saw your update, so I thought I'd drop by and see you."Stella was about to ask how he knew she was at the Saun residence, but then she thought about the previous post. She was afraid that Keegan would not be able to find her, so she shared her location. It was understandable that Marshall would know where she was."You're working on New Year's Eve?" Stella was surprised. "Is the law firm that busy nowadays?"Marshall chuckled and shook his head. "Not really. Everyone's on vacation. I just didn't feel like going home. My aunt is there."St

"What gives her the right to criticize my mom? Mom took care of you when you were in school, yet your wife is the one who gets all the benefits. How dare she judge my mom? What kind of a person is she?" said Felicity."If it weren't for your incessant calls, annoying my mom, and forcing me to come over every New Year, do you think I'd show up willingly?" she continued."I've said what I needed to say and had my meal. Please don't contact my mom from now on. I can see that you're doing well, and my mom is doing well too. She hasn't remarried, not because she has no suitors, but because she doesn't want to encounter a jerk like you!"After venting, Felicity was ready to leave."Stop right there."She turned around, intending to return the money her father had given her. However, a figure rushed toward her and gave her a strong shove. Felicity stumbled and awkwardly fell to the ground.She was in so much pain that her face turned pale.Her half-brother had pushed her. Shocked by th
