Mr. Kane Got Blacklisted (Stella and Keegan) novel Chapter 124

Chapter 124

Stella was caught off guard. She pursed her lips before she asked, “Why do

you

ask?”

Marshall zoomed in on the Facebook user’s profile picture. “The hand in this profile picture is Ms. Young’s hand.”

The profile picture of her hater was a photo of a right hand holding a cup of latte.

But, Stella still did not understand. The majority of her haters were Bella’s fans, so it was normal that this hater used Bella’s photo as a profile picture.

“What led you to that conclusion?”

“I got a friend to do a reverse image search and comparison using some tech. We couldn’t find the picture anywhere online. Plus, judging from this photo’s angle, the lady holding the latte cup must have taken the photo and kept it to herself. And, when I got Ms. Young’s autograph last night, I noticed a mole between her thumb and index finger, just like the one in this photo. Her hands aren’t slim, so she must have used a hand double for close–ups when filming, which explains why there aren’t any close–up shots of her hand online.”

Stella thought to herself, ‘So, he asked for Bella’s autograph last night just to get a closer look at her hand.‘

Stella was not dull–witted. She immediately asked, “Are you saying this is Bella’s secret account?”

“It’s either her or someone close to her. How else would a stranger have access to her private photos?”

However, Stella knew for a fact that only Felicity and now Marshall knew her identity as Dusk Galaxy. It was very unlikely that Bella would know about it. Hence, Bella could not have done it due to the feud between them.

The only possible explanation was that Bella had been holding grudges against Dusk Galaxy over the previous film project involving the both of them. The film was a huge success. Dusk Galaxy’s dubbing had enlivened Bella’s role. However, at the same time, it had also stolen the limelight away from Bella.

‘So, she incited her fans to cyber bully a voice actor for months just because her limelight was stolen?‘ Stella thought, ‘As someone in showbiz for many years, doesn’t she know the consequences of cyberbullying? How can she be so vicious?‘ Stella could not help but wonder, ‘ What the hell does Keegan like about her?!‘

“If Bella is behind this, do we have a chance of winning the lawsuit?” Stella asked Marshall.

“Even if she’s the one using that account, it’s very likely that the registration information isn’t hers. If you sue her, her PR team will just find someone to take the blame,” Marshall replied truthfully.

Stella was disappointed. “So, the cost of cyberbullying is this low?”

“The law can’t control morality,” Marshall said with a pause, “But, if we don’t fight back, the behavior will only escalate.”

Stella was quiet for a moment before she declared, “I’m going to fight this to the end. Even if I

can’t win the lawsuit, it’ll still affect her popularity.”

Marshall smiled. “I’ll do my best.”

“Do I need to pay for any legal fees right now?” Stella just remembered about the payment.

Marshall smiled and said, “There’s no rush. We can discuss that later when the process is further.”

Stella nodded and suddenly remembered the gift she wanted to give to Marshall. She hurriedly said, “Wait here. Don’t leave just yet!” Then, she ran out of the room in a hurry.

The things Stella and Keegan had brought with them had been put away by the housemaid. After searching for a while, Stella finally found the bag that held the tie she wanted to give

Marshall.

After Trevor and Marshall left, rain started to fall. It was forecast that there would be heavy rainfall at four o’clock. It was not safe to drive on the mountain roads in the rain. So, before the rain got heavier, Baldwin started driving to send them back.

On the way, Keegan’s face was even darker than when he came, while Stella was in no mood to entertain him.

Instead, she took out the new phone that Marshall had given her from her bag. It was the same brand as her old phone, but not the latest model. Therefore, she trusted Marshall’s explanation that he simply had an extra phone.

After inserting her SIM card into the new phone, she turned it on and started cloning data from the backup file.

“Where are my socks?” Keegan suddenly asked.

Stella glanced at him inexplicably and pointed to the bag next to him. “They’re inside this bag.

Keegan rummaged through the bag but to no avail. “They’re not here,” he said with an unsmiling face.

Stella put down her phone and took the bag. She went through its contents, but the socks were nowhere to be found.

“How is this possible? I put them in here myself…” she muttered.

As she gazed at the bag again, it dawned on her that it looked a lot like the one she had given Marshall. ‘Oh no, did I accidentally put the socks in that bag?‘ she thought.

She nervously looked at Keegan, whose face was grim, and cleared her throat. “Hey, I think I might have given the socks to Mr. Moore by mistake,” she said.

As soon as she finished speaking, Keegan’s face turned grave, and his eyes were blazed with anger. “Those were mine!” he growled through gritted teeth.
