Mr. Kane Got Blacklisted (Stella and Keegan) novel Chapter 186

Chapter 186

Albert’s toxic masculinity led him to constantly argue with Rainee when people told him that he would not have achieved what he was today without his wife. After what happened to Rainee, he hurriedly took control of the company just to prove to everyone that he would still be able to run a successful business without her. What annoyed him the most was people saying that he relied on women to succeed.

So, when Stella stated that the reason behind her father’s success was Hylda’s support, she crossed the line.

Albert’s expression turned ugly, and he said coldly, “I don’t need any help. She’s just a female companion for this event.”

Hylda’s face turned pale, but the woman had great tolerance and said, “I’m sorry I

overstepped.”

Sophie wanted to say something, but seeing Hylda slightly shaking her head at her, she gritted her teeth and shut up.

“Ms. Jewell, do you still want this bracelet?” The salesman in the jewelry exhibition said warmly.

Sophie suppressed her emotions and glanced elsewhere. As if an idea had suddenly popped into her mind, she lowered her gaze and said with a little nostalgia and hesitation, “It’s way over my budget. I’ll go look around.”

Just as Stella was about to speak, a sarcastic male voice came from the side. “Ask your sister to buy it for you, then. It’s just a little more than one million dollars. That’s only a few meals for the Kane family. Shouldn’t she take care of you since she married into a wealthy family?”

Stella turned to see the person who spoke and saw a young man in a suit, who was about the same age as her. The man was handsome, like an idol who had just debuted in the boyband. Stella thought that he looked familiar. After a long stare and some deep diving into her memories, she recognized the guy as her high school classmate-Kevin Blamer.

Her eyes darkened unconsciously. The sudden appearance of this person reminded her of some unpleasant memories.

Albert frowned and wanted to say something, but Hylda stopped him. “Think about what Stella did,” she said. Albert paused and pursed his lips.

Stella’s expression was extremely cold. These words no longer hurt her as much as they did back then. They only made her realize what kind of person Sophie was.

Sophie was an orphan and had lived in an orphanage since she was a child. The orphanage she stayed in was funded by Rainee and Albert. Because they were sponsors, they were invited to attend the social donation activities of the orphanage.

Once, an accident occurred during an event, and the warehouse where social donations were stored caught on fire. A child was trapped in the warehouse.

Fortunately, the fire brigade came and extinguished the fire in time. The child was safe. The social event went viral at that time, and even the fire rescue scene was captured on a live broadcast.
