Lahat ng Kabanata ng Mr. Kane Got Blacklisted: Kabanata 2181 - Kabanata 2190

The voice on the other end of the line wasn't Blake's; it belonged to a stranger.Dahlia furrowed her brow. "Who are you? Why do you have my brother's phone? Where is he?""Him?" the stranger chuckled. "He's currently here learning how to swim."With that, the phone was passed to someone nearby, who called out, "Hey Crosby! Your sister wants to talk to you!"Sounds of splashing water filled the receiver, followed by Blake's panicked voice, "Dahlia! Please, you have to save me, they're going to kill me, Dahlia—uh—"Before he could finish his sentence, there was a sound of something being pushed into the water, accompanied by gurgling noises.Dahlia's face turned pale. "What are you doing? Are you trying to kill him?"The man took the phone back, smiling. "Kill him? Mam, we are law-abiding citizens, not involved in any illegal activities. But your brother owes our boss over ten million. If the boss doesn't get his money back, he won't pay us our wages. We're all waiting on this bi

Dahlia didn't bring up Blake's gambling issues at all. She simply mentioned problems with the company's production line, orders on hold, and a cash flow problem.Keegan was swayed by Stella and wasn't willing to lend a hand. With no other options left, she had to turn to Stella for help.Dahlia understood Jaylene's deep affection for Keegan. Unable to reach Stella, Jaylene was her last hope. That was why she was adamant about not telling Jaylene about Stella's pregnancy. If Jaylene found out, she'd likely lose hope in her relationship with Keegan, so why would she want to offer assistance?She grabbed Jaylene, tears brimming in her eyes. "You've always been the daughter-in-law I favored. You and Keegan grew up together. If it weren't for you going abroad for treatment, Stella wouldn't even be in the picture. I strongly opposed Keegan marrying her. She's held a grudge against me for years, and now that she's become the golden child, she's constantly at odds with me. At my age, I coul

During that month of injury, Keegan realized this, but he never corrected Jaylene.His preferences were crystal clear. If Jaylene had any sense at all, she would have noticed. Yet, she still clung to that idealized version of Keegan, simply because that was the Keegan she desired.Besides, who in their right mind would willingly give banned substances to someone they cared about?This shallow, self-serving infatuation couldn't be considered love; it was nothing more than despicable possessiveness.Since regaining his memory, Keegan saw things with clarity.He recalled the days when he was bedridden due to his severe injury. Each time the nurse tended to his wounds, Jaylene stood nearby, her brow furrowed not out of fear, but out of disgust.At that time, he couldn't recall Stella. Jaylene had convinced him she was his lover, but deep down, he didn't believe it.How could his supposed lover recoil at the sight of his injuries?Though this memory was later erased by the hypnotist

The music played with ambiguity in her ears, while before her eyes lay anatomical charts of human muscles commonly found in dissecting rooms and hospitals.Stella stared at these charts, almost envisioning the edge-dancing male streamers morphing into the red muscle lines depicted in the anatomy chart, each one captivating as they twisted their waists and hips.Her head spun as she pointed to the projection screen and asked Keegan, "What's this?"Keegan patiently explained, "It's a muscle distribution chart. Everyone's body develops the same way under the skin. By looking beyond appearances, you see the essence. Once you see the essence, appearances become insignificant to you."Seeing beyond appearances???Stella's face shifted from that of embarrassment to frustration, cycling through several changes before she abruptly stood up, her face tense, and headed outside.Keegan caught up to her. "Where are you going?"Stella replied, "To find my brother."Keegan was confused."My

Stella glanced over at her, gave a slight nod, and went back to eating with her head down.As Jaylene fetched utensils, she engaged Sonia in conversation, "Sonia, our team leader mentioned she assigned you some tasks yesterday, but you didn’t complete them. What happened?"Sonia responded, "I finished the tasks she assigned to me. That particular one wasn't on my list."Jaylene sighed, "Sonia, I understand you're new here and might not enjoy these mundane tasks. But you were exempted from the regular process to join, which was already a special treatment. With everyone watching, certain tasks still need to be completed. If you find them too challenging, I can ask your team leader to assign simpler ones. However, leaving tasks undone without informing anyone isn't acceptable. How can your team leader manage others if this happens?"Sonia pursed her lips and reiterated, "She didn't assign me to handle that form. I completed the tasks she gave me."Jaylene frowned, lightly tapping he
