Mr. Kane Got Blacklisted (Stella and Keegan) novel Chapter 1573

There was no doubt that Stella’s actions were deliberate. She had taken the time to investigate the prices of these gemstone scraps and knew that their raw

materials were of high quality. The price for one bag of scraps was at least 200 -300 thousand dollars higher than what Chris was selling them for.

Naturally, Stella suspected Chris of taking a cut of the profit. She even sent someone specifically to the factory to gather information. However, the factory

manager was tight-lipped. He insisted that every batch of material was different,

so the prices varied. He would not even give a final quote until he saw the goods. The manager spoke in vague terms the whole time.

As the jewelry store manager, Chris lived in a luxury villa worth over twenty million dollars in Rivera. His children attended prestigious schools; he even had

spare money to support a mistress. All this couldn’t possibly be sustained by his salary alone. His wife was a full-time homemaker, and their familial background

wasn’t exceptionally affluent. Therefore, Stella was sure that Chris was skimming off their gains.

Unable to find concrete evidence and struggling to break his co-conspirators’ silence, Stella decided to forge her own path. She would personally handle the

recycling, processing, and selling of the scraps herself.

She wondered how long Chris could keep up with his lifestyle with a sixty thousand dollar mortgage and school fees exceeding thirty thousand monthly.

Stella and Vermont’s e-commerce venture was named FellaCity. Upon learning of the name registered by Vermont, Stella immediately considered revoking it.

However, Vermont seemed rather pleased by it, “It’s a combination of your name and Felicity’s. It really highlights your friendship!”

“Do you really think it’s a fitting name for a jewelry brand?” Stella could not help but scoff.

“People buy stuff based on quality, not the brand’s name. Besides, it has a ring to it, right, miss bandit?” Vermont turned to Felicity and asked.

Felicity was also visibly dissatisfied, “Oh, wow. You’re so proficient at coming up with names,” she replied sarcastically.

“Okay. So you don’t like it.” Vermont pondered for a moment. “How about Hallicity?”

“Seriously?” Felicity ground her teeth, “Why in the world does it have to be a combination of our names?”

Vermont did not know what to say, “I asked for suggestions in the group, and you all said I could choose whatever. Yet none of you are satisfied now that I’ve

chosen a name. You people are so hard to please,” He grumbled.

Felicity recalled the name Vermont had given his kitten and sighed, “It’s okay. I get that you’re not a scholar. It’s fine if you don’t have a wide range of

vocabulary.”

bring you home in a splendid bridal carriage.”

Felicity fell silent and then said, “Stop fooling around!”

FellaCity soared up the jewelry bestsellers list in less than two weeks. After factoring in costs, the profit margin was still around thirty percent. Stella could

hear the sound of money pouring into her bank account.

That evening, Stella attended an acquaintance’s baby shower with Keegan and had quite a bit to drink. She was feeling a bit light-headed as she walked. She

kept tugging Keegan along and chatted away, “Honey, do you know how much money I’ve made recently?”

Looking at her rosy cheeks, Keegan’s heart softened. He murmured, “A hundred million dollars?”

“Mmm- No. That’s not it. Take another guess.”

After a moment of thought, Keegan said, “Three hundred thousand dollars?”

“No. Go higher.”
