《Mr. Kane Got Blacklisted》全部章節：第 1981 章 - 第 1990 章

Stella was dumbfounded.Seeing the puzzled look on her face, Spencer felt somewhat better. He was not a substitute as he had thought before.Before he could say anything more, Stella spoke, "No. Who gave you the confidence to think that you can be as handsome as Keegan?"Spencer's face instantly turned red in anger."Are you blind? How am I any less handsome than him? Not only that, but I'm also younger than him. The number of women swooning over me could populate a small country!"Stella could not help but laugh, "If you're so confident, why are you so desperate to compare yourself to Keegan in front of me? To me, no one in this world can be better than him. You're just embarrassing yourself here. Instead, you should just ask your girlfriend whether you or Keegan is more handsome. She'll undoubtedly choose you without hesitation. It's the same thing."Spencer snorted, "I just can't stand the fact that you think an old man like him is better than me!"Stella's eyelid twitched, "

Stella felt a surge of panic. 'I'm dead meat if Keegan catches me hugging Spencer, especially right after we got our marriage license. I'd rather face death than his wrath. Why does every encounter with Spencer lead to trouble? He's like a bad omen!' she thought, her mind racing.Stella awkwardly pushed Spencer away and was about to call out to Keegan. But then her attention was diverted as her gaze darted toward him and Jaylene, who offered him a water bottle.Speechless, Stella's thoughts whirled, 'Great. We just got our marriage license, and here is Keegan, sneaking out to watch a movie with Jaylene. How's he going to explain this one?'Catching Keegan's intense stare, Jaylene turned and spotted Stella, who was inconspicuously close to a strikingly handsome man. "Stella?" she blurted out, turning to Keegan in disbelief. "That's Stella over there!"After her outburst, Jaylene scrutinized Keegan's expression closely. His face was a mask of cold indifference, his eyes gleaming with

Stella fought back her laughter, carefully avoiding Jaylene's gaze to maintain her composure. She found herself torn between amusement at Keegan's straightforwardness and bemusement at Jaylene's naivety.Having been a frequent visitor to the Kane residence, Stella was well aware of Keegan's deep affection for Coco. A wiser approach for Jaylene would have been to endear herself to Coco, as winning the child's heart was as crucial as winning over Keegan and his family. Competing with a child was, in Stella's eyes, a futile effort.Stella eyed Jaylene's carefully chosen attire, deducing her preference for Joplonese cuisine. Jaylene's self-consciousness was apparent. She always strived to present her best self to Keegan. Yet, Stella knew that perfection was not the key to a lasting relationship. It was about embracing each other's strengths and accepting their weaknesses.Keegan, who is experienced in dealing with various personalities, would likely be unimpressed with insincerity.Mea

Lost in nostalgia, Spencer continued, "To pique her interest, I started asking her about class lessons, feigning academic concern. At first, she was puzzled. Why would I, the perpetual sleeper, suddenly have an academic awakening? I played it off, saying my dad promised me four dollars for every point I scored. I've got my eyes on a figurine worth over six grand. I needed to score as high as I could."Her reaction was immediate. She became my earnest tutor, lending me notes and patiently explaining concepts. She stood out during our second year when the curriculum intensified, and everyone became protective of their study time. She sacrificed her time for me, meticulously breaking down each topic and asking if I understood."I had heard numerous rumors about her from the boys' dormitory. They said her family was well-off. Her parents did charity work and adopted a girl from an orphanage. But they were only using the girl for publicity, and they actually treated her poorly. She was sa

Spencer's tone wavered with emotions as he continued, "When I realized she knew about my plans to study abroad, I was shocked. I hadn't told anyone outside my family. It dawned on me that my father must have met with her, probably to discourage her from pursuing a romantic relationship with me because of our family backgrounds."I was kept at home until my departure, losing all contact with her. Abroad, I found myself isolated, keeping a distant eye on our group chats. She soared during her university years, excelling in the performing arts at Trinity University. Her talent was unmistakable, even mentioned in the campus forums. With makeup on, I couldn't recognize her as the lead in King Lear. She had transformed, leaving her high school self far behind."Rumors reached me about her being paraded by her father at banquets, seeking a marriage alliance for financial gains. I heard her mother had an accident, and her family's company was in trouble. That idiot, using a marriage alliance
