Mr. Kane Got Blacklisted (Stella and Keegan) novel Chapter 1296

Chapter 1296

‘I can’t believe we have to face all this trouble just to save a few thousand bucks on ingredients fora month!’ Hylda’s frustration bubbled up, as she contemplated the mess she was in. The thought of possible legal consequences and imprisonment had her blood boiling.

Soon, she made her way to Sunlight Kindergarten and saw a swarm of parents surrounding the school entrance. Hylda parked her car at a distance and put on a pair of sunglasses and a mask before getting out of her vehicle.

While she was approaching the commotion, she overheard parents hurling insults and profanities. With her mask firmly in place, Hylda moved past the distressed parents and headed toward a yard adjacent to the kindergarten.

She knocked on the door, but no one answered. Unfazed, Hylda pulled out a key from her bag and entered the building.

After closing the door behind her, she removed her mask and fiercely walked into the place. Meanwhile, Lydia was helping her daughter and husband pack their belongings. She remained oblivious to the commotion outside.

Pack up everything valuable. A car will come for them tonight,” she said.

Hylda had a stern expression, as she inquired, “And, just what do you think you’re doing?”

Startled, Lydia clutched her chest dramatically and stared at Hylda with wide eyes. “Oh, my God! You scared the life out of me!” she said.

Hylda looked at the bags that were all over the floor, and her tone turned cold. “You’re planning to leave when things go south? No strings attached?”

Hylda chuckled in annoyance. “It’s fine if you find this shit tastes good, but don’t sell it to others. You’re a foolish woman, Lydia. The samples from the cafeteria have been sent for testing. Once it is found that the harmful ingredients exceed the limit, this won’t be something apologies and compensation could solve. By then, you can look forward to jail time!”

Lydia turned pale at the mention of being locked up. “l-l-ls it really that serious? Please don’t scare me.”

“Would I have come all this way if it weren’t? Would I have repeatedly reminded you not to cut costs from the food? Just think about it!”

Hylda was not entirely righteous either. She had intentionally chosen small, narrow beds for the school’s dorm so that the children would complain to their parents about how uncomfortable the beds were. This would then lead to increased facility fees to accommodate the children’s needs. Even the toys and classroom chairs were specifically designed for the same outcome. However, she drew the line at their meals.

Lydia knew that Hylda had recently suffered a miscarriage and had not fully recovered. ‘Her swift arrival is undoubtedly triggered by this crisis,1 she thought. Soon, the realization sent panic coursing through her veins.
