Mr. Kane Got Blacklisted (Stella and Keegan) novel Chapter 1178

Chapter 1178

‘Extra points? To what?’ thought Vermont.

Keegan’s expression loosened, seemingly hesitant. Vermont gritted his teeth and said, “It’s just a few points, Keegan. Is it worth ruining our friendship? Man up, dude. Don’t make me look down on you.”

Keegan paused. Just when Vermont thought that he had successfully recalled Keegan’s conscience, he heard him say, “How many points are we talking about?”

Stella wanted to know Vermont’s secret, so she said, “A thousand!”

“Deal.”

Vermont’s face darkened. “Do you even have a heart, Keegan? Do you remember who helped you out when you didn’t attend your ex-mother-in- law’s funeral? Do you remember who gave you advice when you were courting Stella? How could you betray me now that she’s yours?!”

Keegan turned a deaf ear and whispered to Stella, “His recent ex-girlfriend is his first ex-girlfriend’s ex. She used him to get back at her.”

Vermont did not say a word.

Stella was shocked. “Can you elaborate on that?” she asked.

Vermont sighed and shot a glance at Keegan. He wanted to give him a tongue-lashing but decided not to since he was afraid that Keegan would expose more of his secrets. So, Vermont stayed silent and listened to Keegan go on and on about the embarrassing incident just to please Stella.

He then looked at the envelope in Stella’s hand and asked, “How much money did Keegan put in there? Why does it look so thick?”

Stella was also curious about the amount of cash in the envelope, as she thought about how it would have been given to Albert if she had not interfered. “How much is in here?” she asked Keegan.
