Mr. Kane Got Blacklisted (Stella and Keegan) novel Chapter 1162

Chapter 1162

Vermont thought to himself, ‘If I remember correctly, the largest shareholder of Deron Holdings is named Florence.’

As Vermont realized that all the information aligned, he found himself at a loss. It finally became clear to him why Florence had that expression when he presented her with the gift brought from Rivera the previous night.

It was an exclusive limited-edition box of egg tarts from Deron. He believed he had chosen a pretty decent gift, only to discover that he had inadvertently bought something produced by Florence’s own company as a gift for her. Looking back, Vermont realized that Florence had looked at him as if he were a fool.

“Vermont, have you ever had your fortune told with Felicity?” the chubby lady asked.

Vermont snapped back, “What do you mean by having my fortune told?”

“Oh, my goodness! Felicity didn’t tell you anything?” she exclaimed.

Vermont was puzzled, “Tell me what?”

“Felicity’s mom believes in fortune telling. Whether or not she accepts you as her future son-in-law depends on the compatibility of your birth date with Felicity’s. If they are not compatible, she probably won’t approve of you,’ she explained.

Vermont couldn’t believe his ears. He had put in so much effort, only to find out that Florence’s final decision hinged on his birth date.

Meanwhile, the production of Motives for Murder was abruptly halted as Bella Young was embroiled in a scandal.

The crew received a heads-up that there would be a delay of one to two weeks in the completion schedule. This was due to the need to recast the female lead and reshoot all of Bella’s scenes.

Thankfully, the shooting had not yet been completed. If the scandal had come to light after the shooting had wrapped up, the reshoots would have faced scheduling conflicts and caused significant delays. It would have been a great pity considering the exceptional script and the immense amount of hard work that had been put into the production. Failing to release it would have been a shame.

“Stella, you’re the only one who hasn’t received the gift given out by our company. Are you at home? I can swing by and drop it off for you later,” Trevor said.

Stella pressed her lips together. Ever since she found out who she really was, she couldn’t find any peace. If she were still a kid, it might have been easier to reconnect with the Saun family and rebuild those family ties. But being in her twenties, suddenly having so many family members overwhelmed her, and she felt a mix of nervousness and fear.

Stella didn’t know the rest of the Saun family. Dealing with family members she had never met before was unfamiliar territory, and she worried that her presence might disrupt their lives.

But when Trevor called and expressed his care and concern for Stella, her tense state of mind suddenly eased up.

While she was hesitant about embracing her newfound family, they were gradually making efforts to reach out and become a part of her life. They were even more concerned than she was, cautiously showing their care and hoping she would accept them.

Stella’s heart softened, and she smiled before asking gently, ‘Aren’t you spending the holiday with your family, Brother?”
