Mr. Kane Got Blacklisted (Stella and Keegan) novel Chapter 1244

Chapter 1244

“I’m serious!” Stella glared at her phone and said.

Keegan did not quite understand what she meant by Marshall being a bringer of bad luck, but he decided to give her a chance to explain. “Care to elaborate?”

“You see, Marshall and I have only known each other for half a year. But every time we meet, something bad happens, or he ends up getting hurt. There’s also the possibility that our horoscopes don’t align. And when we’re together, we attract more negativity. So, I think I should keep my distance from him. I don’t want to visit him at the hospital because I’m afraid his condition will get worse.”

Keegan did not know whether to laugh or cry at that. ‘I can’t believe all it took was some superstition to get her to stay away from Marshall.’

“Come on. Didn’t you use to say that horoscopes are fake? How come you believe in it now? Marshall would feel awful if he heard all this.”

“Stop pretending,” Stella snorted. “You must be happy I’m keeping my distance from Mr. Moore, right?”

Keegan chuckled and said, “All I want is for my friend and partner to be fine. I don’t like it when you treat him too well. Marshall has paranoid personality disorder; I don’t want you to get hurt.”

Stella did not know much about paranoid personality disorders. Still, she did not see Marshall as someone with a mental illness. However, she preferred to avoid trouble whenever she could. ‘If being close to Marshall means more problems, then I’d rather keep my distance,’ she thought.1 Besides, Keegan wouldn’t harm me. Although he couldn’t fully convince me to stay away initially, I know he has my best interests at heart.’

“Okay. I won’t contact him anymore. I’ll try to find another lawyer for the lawsuit.”

Keegan was satisfied with her response. “Leave that to me. I promise to find someone as good as Marshall,” he said.

“You don’t have to set him as the standard. Just find someone cheap and good. I’ve been looking through the law these past few days and realized there’s probably no need to bring the matter to court. The lawyer will only be there to put some respect to my name.”
