Mr. Kane Got Blacklisted (Stella and Keegan) novel Chapter 1280

Marshall took the cup of tea and thanked Stella.

Keegan reached for the other cup, only to find Stella grabbing and sipping from it. He shot her a puzzled look, to which she responded, “Your cup’s in the kitchen. Go fetch it yourself.”

Stella’s words left him speechless. ‘Seems like she’s seizing every opportunity to tease me, he thought. Annoyed by the situation, Keegan stood up and headed for the kitchen.

There, he found a cup of coffee with a heart-shaped latte art waiting on the counter. His anger dispersed immediately.’ Aw, she loves me.’

“Mr. Moore, you mentioned something about my mother’s accident during our call. What is it?” Stella asked.

Marshall placed his cup down and pulled out his phone. He showed Stella a photo of someone and said, “Take a look at this person. Do you know him?”

Stella glanced at the picture and immediately recognized the face. “He used to be my family’s driver. I had investigators look into him before, but he’s rather cautious and avoids having interactions with outsiders.”

Marshall continued, “This man is now in Rivera. He developed a tumor and is undergoing chemotherapy at the city hospital.”

Stella did not understand what Marshall was trying to convey, so he elaborated, “Cancer treatments are expensive. Since this man is unemployed, he’s likely searching for ways to earn some money.”

“Are you implying that he might approach Albert for financial help?” asked Stella.

“No, I think he’s going to approach Hylda instead. He probably knows some of Hylda’s secrets. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have been supporting him financially for all these years.”

Marshall paused for a while and added, “Once the kindergarten goes out of business, Hylda won’t be able to provide him with support anymore. In his desperation to stay afloat, he might turn against her. So, I think we could extract some valuable information from him.”

Stella perked up at the alignment of events. The kindergarten situation was already a major headache for Hylda. It would be a blessing for Stella if another potential threat emerged.

“Please keep a close eye on this man for me, Mr. Moore. You could consider extending a monetary offer if the opportunity arises.”
