Mr. Kane Got Blacklisted (Stella and Keegan) novel Chapter 177

Chapter 177

Vermont started to have a terrible impression of her ever since that.

The Kane family could definitely afford that, but it was very spiteful of her to do that without telling her husband about it.

However, Keegan told him to keep his mouth shut. Otherwise, Cordelia would never have a good impression of Stella just because of that.

However, Stella had surprised Vermont too much in the recent month. He could not help but wonder if he was just prejudiced against her.

‘Why would Stella set Albert up if she’s really on his side?

‘She should do whatever she can to be with Keegan if she’s the type who puts money before everything else. Why would she file a divorce?’ Vermont thought to himself.

Besides, Stella was Dusk Galaxy.

The person he idolized for so long turned out to be the person he used to hate. Perhaps he loved Dusk Galaxy so much that he could not bring himself to her anymore.

Vermont glanced at Keegan and asked, “You didn’t allow Albert to invest because of Stella, right?”

Keegan replied coldly, “You’re overthinking. The more he invests, the easier I can control everything.”

“Tsk.” Vermont clicked his tongue. ‘Why is Albert so naïve? Does he really think it’s so easy to earn from Keegan?

‘You can only earn whatever he wants you to.

‘He can even turn eighty million into eight thousand if he doesn’t want you to earn anything.’

“Oh, yes. Do you want to go to the jewelry exhibition that Marshall’s aunt is organizing two days from now? I remember that Stella likes jewelry very much, right? I’ll go with her if you can’t find the time to. What do you think?”

Keegan glared at him. “Why are you so obsessed with her these days?”

Vermont blinked. “Am I?”

“You didn’t like me bringing her to our gathering,” Keegan replied in a flat tone.

Even though Vermont hid his frustration very well, Keegan could still tell with his sharp eyes.

Of course, Vermont could not tell Keegan that Stella was Dusk Galaxy.

He very much looked forward to seeing Keegan’s reaction when he finally found out about that.

So, he said, “That’s only because I thought she was a gold-digger that wanted to be a part of high society. I realized I could be wrong about her now that she wants a divorce from you. Besides, she helped me to make some money and gave me a crate of oysters. I’ve decided to scrap all my previous assumptions about her and try to be her friend.”

As Vermont spoke, somebody knocked on the door.

“Come in.”

Stella pushed the door open. She was holding a glass of milk as she said, “Mr. Kane, do you want some warm milk?”

‘Mr. Kane?’

Vermont lifted his brows. ‘Is she flirting?’

Keegan looked up and gazed at her “Sure,” he responded flatly.

Then, Stella went forward and handed Keegan the glass of milk.

Keegan took it from her. He noticed that Stella was staring at him as he was about to drink it. Then, he paused and said, “Is it poisoned?”

Stella’s mouth twitched. “What? I just want to chat with you because I thought you might be bored.”

She paused for a while before adding to make what she said less awkward, “The doctor said that a good mood could help your wound recover.”

Keegan stared at her for a few seconds and said, “I don’t think you want me to ever recover, do you?”
