Mr. Kane Got Blacklisted (Stella and Keegan) novel Chapter 1251

Ted was taken aback. “Of course not. He has to be heartless to ask me to help someone in a lawsuit against his ex-wife.”

Stella frowned. “But I saw you talking to each other during the recess.”

“Well, we were schoolmates, after all. Besides, we were pretty close back then too.” Ted said.

“Why would he be in the courtroom that day then?”

Ted was puzzled. “Wasn’t he there to see you?”

Stella kept quiet.

‘See me, my foot! Keegan didn’t even know I was the plaintiff.’

Stella initially thought that Keegan was there for Bella. However, after discovering that Bella shared those flirtatious messages visible only to her, she realized that was not the case.

Moreover, Bella was not the person getting sued. Stella figured that Keegan would not bother himself with a lawsuit between her and Bella’s fan if there were really something going on between him and Bella.

Stella could not help but think to herself. ‘Ted just said that it wasn’t Keegan who appointed him. Could it be that Bella hired him herself? Did she intentionally hire a lawyer Keegan knew, misleading me into thinking that he was involved and making our relationship worse? But Bella got so busy with the lawsuit that she even toned down her public appearances. Would she even have the energy to do such things?’

Stella asked again, “So, was it Bella who asked you to help her?”

Ted shook his head. “She wasn’t the one who hired me. If I my friend’s law firm.”

“You’re so good at what you do, and both of you even worked together before. Why didn’t she ask for your help?”

Ted replied flatly. “We’ve never worked together, and I don’t know her.”
