Mr. Kane Got Blacklisted (Stella and Keegan) novel Chapter 207

Chapter 207

Mrs. Chapman pursed her lips. “Mrs. Wood, remember this; the lesser you speak, the fewer you’d say the wrong things.”

She then turned around and walked to the crowd without waiting for Mrs. Wood to speak again.

Keegan put Stella down on the couch when they got into the lounge.

Stella lay down weakly on the sofa. Her face was pale, and she did not look well.

Marshall went to get a glass of warm water. When he came back, Keegan was sitting on the edge of the couch, wiping the sweat on Stella’s forehead with a tissue.

Marshall froze for a moment. He then walked toward them and handed Keegan the glass. ” Keegan, feed her some water.”

Keegan took the glass and glanced at Stella. But, he took a sip of the water instead. He then pinched Stella’s chin and wanted to kiss her on the lips.

Stella then slapped him. She got up and stared at him as she said, “You’re disgusting!”

‘Did he think he’s filming a drama? He wanted to feed me the water with his lips?’ Stella thought.

‘She acted quickly and decisively. She didn’t look as weak as before at all,’ thought Keegan. Keegan calmly swallowed the water. He faintly said, “Not acting anymore?’

Stella choked. She stiffly glanced at Marshall, who was shocked and stunned. Then, she coughed and said, “I-It wasn’t entirely an act.”

She wondered, “I acted so well. What gave it away?”

Keegan put the glass of water aside. He glanced at her and replied, “Your acting skill is bad. You can only trick the others.”

The corners of Keegan’s eyes twitched. ‘Since when is she so good at changing her emotions?’

Stella then told Marshall about the origin of the bracelet on stage. Only then Marshall understood why she did that.

‘So, Stella did all of that because she didn’t want the Kane family to bid for the bracelet.

‘She was the one who traded the bracelet. And, she did some tricks to sell it. So, she figured that tonight was a set-up aiming at the Kane family. No. To be exact, the set-up was aimed at her.

‘Someone wanted to give her a taste of her own medicine.’

“Mr. Moore, is your aunt close with Henry? Why would she help Henry sell this bracelet?”

“Henry?” Marshall was stunned for a moment. “I heard from my aunt that my uncle’s friend wanted to sell it. But, I’m not really sure about the details.”
