Mr. Kane Got Blacklisted (Stella and Keegan) novel Chapter 1455

Chapter 1455 [Eleven Jewell]

Stella turned toward the voice and saw Ariel standing there in a light beige dress, holding a gift box. Unlike Dahlia and Irene, who always exuded extravagance, Ariel’s appearance was elegantly understated. Even though she had gained a little weight, she still radiated grace.

The last time Stella and Ariel met was at the jewelry exhibition over half a year ago. In her memory, Ariel had fair skin and a healthy complexion. But now, looking at her, she seemed to have lost some weight, and her spirit did not seem as vibrant as it did half a year ago.

With a smile, Stella nodded politely. “Hello, Mrs. Moore.”

Marshall subtly furrowed his brows, as he was annoyed.” Why did you come along? I’m leaving after a few words.”

“I want to talk to Ms. Saun too,” Ariel replied.

Marshall’s frown deepened, and he stood there in silence.

Ariel turned to Stella and spoke warmly. “Ms. Saun, I remember you helping Marshall when he was injured a while ago. Initially, I wanted to come and thank you personally, but Marshall didn’t allow it. He feared that you might feel uncomfortable. However, the incident is still in the back of my mind. I felt that I had to thank you personally.”

Stella understood and said, “There’s no need to worry, Mrs. Moore. Mr. Moore is my friend, and friends help each other out. Besides, I wasn’t the first to lend a hand that day. It was a friend of mine. Mr. Moore has already expressed his gratitude with a gift. He has helped me a lot in previous

legal matters as well. You really don’t have to do anything.”

Ariel continued, “Marshall is my only son. You saved him, which means you saved me too. I feel indebted for this favor. I thought about adopting you as my goddaughter and having Marshall protect you as a brother. But I didn’t realize you were the long-lost heiress of the Saun family. It feels a little embarrassing to bring this up.”

Marshall clenched his fist, and his face was tense.

Ariel’s eyes grew a little redder, but it seemed as though a weight had been lifted off her chest. She whispered softly,” Thank you for saying that.”

She did not persist in trying to get Stella to accept the pendant. Instead, she took out another gift she had prepared and handed it over. “This is a small token from me and my husband for you officially rejoining the Saun family. You must accept it.”

Stella could not refuse, so she thanked Ariel and accepted the gift.

Ariel seemed as if she wanted to say more. But, before she could speak, Marshall interrupted. “Come on, mom. Let’s go. It’s getting late.”
