Semua Bab Mr. Kane Got Blacklisted: Bab 1951 - Bab 1960

'It seems like I overlooked this aspect,' Stella thought. 'I guess I can't rub salt in the wound for now.'Then, another concern came to mind. "Would your mom be released without charges if they found out that I'm not really injured?"Without looking at her, Keegan calmly replied, "Well, the hotel staff accidentally injured themselves while cleaning up the oil."Stella was taken aback. "The cleaning staff injured themselves?""Yeah." Keegan glanced at her and continued, "Should I take you to the surveillance room and show you?"Stella shrugged. "No. It was just a casual question."Keegan observed the talisman she held tightly and felt a little irritated. "You're getting water on my neck," he said.Upon hearing this, Stella immediately wanted to switch hands, but Keegan continued, "Are you trying to get my other side wet too?"Stella did not reply."Put it in my pocket," Keegan said with indifference."But, won't that make your pocket wet?""It's fine. My clothes are thick,"

[Stella, how could you say that? I would never tell lies, even if Felicity isn't here. Where's the trust?] asked Vermont.[Sorry, but being pregnant is making me a bit sensitive since the child is pushing against my heart. My mind plays tricks on me, and I tend to overthink things. Please bear with me.] Stella replied.Vermont was at a loss for words upon seeing her response. 'Is she carrying the child in her heart instead of her belly?' he thought.[What do you want to know, Stella?][Tell me everything you know about Marshall. And I mean everything, including his childhood.]Confused, Vermont said, [???]Felicity also replied in the group chat, [!!!][Stella, why do you want to know this?] Vermont questioned.[Some things are better left unasked.]Stella's reply rendered Vermont speechless.[If you want to know about Marshall, why not ask Keegan? They grew up together and spent more time together than I did with him. Keegan knows everything about Marshall. Why not just ask

"Oh, I see..." Keegan pondered, a realization dawning on him. "I always assumed the person who set the password was sending me a message."Stella kept quiet, her mind racing. She vividly remembered the curious glance Keegan had given her when she set the password. She thought, 'Did he always interpret it that way? No wonder he seemed restless that night, mumbling about being more straightforward in the future.'Understanding dawned on Stella, and her expression shifted through various emotions before settling into a stiff expression. She remarked, "You really do have a wild imagination."Keegan noticed her embarrassment, a flicker of pleasure in his eyes. But soon, reflecting on her evasive behavior, his smile waned. He wondered, 'One moment she's affectionate, the next, she's secretive with a phone call. Who was she talking to that made her feel so guilty?'As he glanced at her phone, Stella quickly tucked it into her bag. Disappointed, Keegan thought, 'Fine. I'll find out who's t

Stella, skeptical, rolled her eyes. "So, you improvised the second half of the story?"Vermont replied, "Not exactly. It's a rough account of the events. Willow had a small family so Keegan organized her funeral, which I attended. "The emptiness of the hall reminded me of my exam answer sheets. If her husband truly loved her, wouldn't he have been there?"He continued thoughtfully, "Willow's disappearance might be tied to the Moore family. The car accident was due to Marshall's condition, but they likely covered it up. It's a complex situation, and perhaps it's better that Marshall doesn't remember."Felicity, frowning, interjected, "He's fortunate to have forgotten. Willow's life was lost because of him. Stella, whatever happens with you and Keegan, avoid someone with baggage like Marshall. He and his family are a web of problems."Stella had been silent until Felicity mentioned her name.Suddenly, Stella asked, "Did Willow and Marshall have any children?"Vermont, taken aback

"Got it. I won't spill the beans, and don't let Keegan know I asked you about this," said Stella."I would never. He'll be the first to come knocking if he knows that I talked to you. Back then, he was the one helping Marshall's mom silence people like us. I'm sticking my neck out here just telling you all this. So, don't screw me over," Vermont replied.Felicity sneered, "Look at you, all weak-kneed. Is Keegan gonna eat you alive?""You go up against him if you're so brave," Vermont said.Felicity hesitated for a moment, suddenly recalling the time when Keegan landed her in the slammer. She cleared her throat and said, "He hasn't crossed me. Why the hell would I go up against him?"Vermont laughed and taunted, "You're just a little chicken. The only person you dare mess with is me."Stella left the group voice call and dropped a WhatsApp message to Detective Karl, whom she hadn't contacted in a long time. [Can we meet up?]Detective Karl shot back instantly. [I don't provide ad
