Semua Bab Mr. Kane Got Blacklisted: Bab 2271 - Bab 2280

"Secondly, you caused trouble during your side job. Instead of telling me right away, you let others find out and point fingers at you. If Sonia hadn't managed to concoct that bottle of essential oil today, do you realize how much responsibility you would have to bear?"Lastly, you shouldn't have knelt at my office door to beg for leniency. I really dislike people kneeling, whether it's to apologize, show remorse, or for any other reason. It's undignified and inappropriate! A person can kneel to the heavens, to their parents, or to benefactors, but we have an employer-employee relationship, and you're much older than I am. I can't accept your kneeling. To me, it feels like you're trying to force my hand."Larry couldn't speak. His face turned paler with each point Stella made, each one well-founded, leaving him no room for rebuttal. After a long pause, he finally muttered weakly, "I'm sorry."Stella pressed her lips together and after a moment said, "Choose one. I'll try to negotiat

Her voice trembled with sorrow as she spoke. "Mom, is Dad still mad at me?"When she was hospitalized after being injured by Keegan’s aunt, Wenham Saun visited her every day. But he no longer treated her with the same warmth and intimacy he had when she was a child. There was a newfound distance and coldness.She had been deceived by Dahlia because she couldn’t let go of Keegan. Wenham had already warned her once when he noticed her feelings, but she had knowingly ignored his warning. He was utterly disappointed in her.Jaylene didn’t think it was wrong to love Keegan. She believed the fault lay with Stella. If she had been lost for over twenty years, why did she have to come back and disrupt everything? Why did she have to come back and steal her father and brother?Their family of four had been so happy. Stella’s return had caused her parents to fall out of love, her brother to shift his affection toward his biological sister, and her father to no longer dote on her as he once di

The man stayed quiet until he finished his cigarette. Then Darcie spoke up again, “If you hadn't let such a big threat hang over us, Jaylene and I wouldn't be in this tough spot.”Of course, by "threat," she meant Stella.Bringing this up made the man's face darken subtly.He only found out about the fact that the baby girl hadn't died shortly before Stella was recognized by the Saun family.Back then, the woman had shown him a dead baby, claiming it was Freesia's. It turned out the baby wasn't the Saun family heiress; she had taken a dead infant from elsewhere and falsely claimed it was Freesia's.He hadn't seen his own daughter being born, but he had seen the baby who would soon replace his daughter in life. He had felt deeply guilty at the time, so much so that he didn't dare to look too much, thinking that once death was confirmed, his purpose was achieved. But he never expected that one of the people he bribed would have a soft heart.If Stella hadn't died, the Saun and the

Stella quipped.Keegan chuckled, "Worried you'll go soft, huh? Seems I was overthinking."Stella said, "I was indeed feeling a bit soft, but something just happened that made me very uncomfortable."She briefly mentioned Larry kneeling down, "I wasn't that angry before. But when I saw him kneeling outside, my temper flared up instantly. With so many people watching, I felt like he was pressuring me, so I took the opportunity to reassign him."Sighing, she continued, "Actually, on the way here, I felt a bit guilty. I wondered if I was being too harsh. He's currently short of money to get a cochlear implant for his son. His new position will surely pay less than before."Keegan patted her hand. "A cochlear implant is just an assistive device; it's not a matter of life and death. If he wants to get one for his son, there's no rush for it. But going behind your back to take on a side job, I find that hard to justify."Stella blinked, asking softly, "Do you think he's lying?"Keegan

Stella nodded, "Hi, Maya."Maya retrieved a neatly wrapped gift box from her bag and handed it over, "I wasn't sure what to bring for our first meeting, so I made these sachets myself. Give them a try."Stella was a bit surprised. "Maya, you're into scents too?"Maya smiled, "I got into scents because of Trevor. He used to love playing around with them."Stella was surprised once again.She hadn't seen Trevor indulge in scents much, so she assumed he wasn't interested in them.However, Trevor seemed hesitant to broach the topic further, simply saying, "Let's order first, I'm hungry."Maya hesitated for a moment, lowering her eyes to conceal her disappointment.Stella quickly interjected, "Maya, it's been a while since you've been back, right? How about trying some hometown dishes today?"Maya put on a smile. "Sure, you decide."As the waiter was about to leave after taking their dinner orders, Trevor suddenly piped up, "Add a roast."Maya shot a quick glance at Trevor, who ex
