Mr. Kane Got Blacklisted のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 1991 - チャプター 2000

In the car, Aurora, who had abstained from alcohol, took the driver's seat. Keegan settled into the passenger seat while Stella and Aldor occupied the back, flanking a thoroughly drunken Jaylene.Throughout Spencer's ramblings, Stella had tested Jaylene's level of intoxication, finding her slurring her words to the point of incoherence. Stella tapped her fingers against the car window, her face tight with thought. Abruptly, she turned to Keegan, "Did Jaylene ever give you that drug?"Keegan's expression tightened, recognizing Stella's line of thought. He said, "That substance is in a legal gray area here, but it's banned abroad. It's a psychoactive drug, far from harmless."Stella's expression darkened further at the thought of Jaylene using such a dangerous drug on Keegan. She asked, "Where is it now?""I disposed of it," Keegan responded, his voice firm.Unconvinced, Stella turned to Aldor, "Where did you put the drug?"Aldor hesitated before answering, "There are a few pills l

York expressed his surprise, "There weren't many PhD students specializing in hypnosis in our cohort; I should known them all. But I don't recall any student from Hustuabourg with the surname Stone."Keegan showed York a photo on his phone, "This is the person."York paused, a flicker of recognition in his eyes, "That's Yoel Stanley.""He's Joplonese?" Keegan asked, taken aback.York nodded, "He wasn't in our university or in my cohort, but he often attended our professor's lectures. He was perceptive and a quick learner. The professor favored him. But Yoel's reputation was tarnished. He was once embroiled in a lawsuit for illegally hypnotizing a girl, though the case was dropped due to lack of evidence."He then opened a studio, using skills gleaned from the lectures. He gained some fame but remained ethically questionable, spending much of his earnings in brothels and on alcohol. Academically, he stagnated. His skills waned, leading him to use banned substances on clients. Once

"Keegan?" Darcie's voice was tinged with uncertainty. She thought, 'It's unusual for Keegan to be with Jaylene so late.'"Why do you have Jaylene's phone?" she inquired.Stella, mimicking Keegan's voice, explained, "Jaylene had too much to drink. I brought her to my place to help sober her up. She didn't want to go home in this state, fearing you'd be angry."Darcie frowned, "Keegan, bringing Jaylene to your place is inappropriate. You're engaged to Stella, even if just in name. It looks bad. Send her home now."After a feigned pause, Stella replied, "I planned to, but Jaylene insisted on staying, not wanting to upset you while drunk. Don't worry; Aldor's here too. It won't affect Jaylene's reputation."Darcie was silent for a moment. Just as Stella thought she had been persuaded, Darcie said, "Turn on the video call. I want to see Jaylene."Stella, maintaining her composure, agreed, "Okay."The call ended, and Darcie's video call request soon came through on Jaylene's phone.S

Stella, usually adept at handling precarious situations, now faced a new challenge. Jaylene's phone was locked, and she did not know the password. Keegan then took the phone. He paused momentarily before entering his own birthday as the passcode."Quite the romantic, isn't she?" Stella remarked sarcastically.He responded with a half-smile. Then, he ingeniously activated the reverse wireless charging feature on Jaylene's phone, attaching his own phone to its back to drain the battery."Such a feature exists?" Stella exclaimed, astonished.Keegan answered dryly, "If you paid attention to more than just the camera pixels when buying a phone, you'd find it has other uses."Stella fell silent as he opened several battery-draining apps on Jaylene's phone to accelerate the battery depletion.Once the setup was complete, Keegan excused himself to talk to York, leaving Stella alone with the phone. Curiosity got the better of her, and she opened Jaylene's WhatsApp, finding Keegan's contac

Keegan's Adam's apple bobbed as he approached Stella. He reached down to take her phone away gently, "Stop looking at this. Let's go home."Stella looked up at him, her eyes red and swollen. She pleaded, "Give it to me."He pursed his lips before saying, "Let's go home first."Her voice was hoarse with emotion. She said, "Give it to me."Instead of handing over the phone, Keegan pocketed it. As Stella stood up to retrieve it, he enveloped her in his arms, his voice soft yet firm, "Don't look anymore. Whatever you want to know, I'll tell you."Stella clung to his shirt, the image of his bloody figure in a hospital bed haunting her. "How much did you suffer?" she asked, her voice breaking. She trembled in his embrace, tears streaming down her cheeks, "You're even scared of injections, yet you had to endure thirteen stitches without anesthesia. Didn't it hurt?"The videos on Jaylene's phone had shaken Stella deeply as they revealed Keegan's vulnerability and pain. She had documented
