Mr. Kane Got Blacklisted (Stella and Keegan) novel Chapter 1348

Chapter 1348

“Did Albert transfer the money?” asked Stella.

Xenia shook her head. “I don’t think so. He’s back, but he clearly looks troubled. It appears he’s reluctant to pay up. I overheard him on the phone with Sophia, and it sounded like they were discussing about shares.-

‘Shares?’ Stella pondered for a moment. ‘Could it be that Albert is exploring the idea of trading shares with Sophia to get the funds?’

She hung up the phone and frowned. “Can this recording be used against them?” she muttered.

With no response from the person beside her, she turned to find that Keegan was lost in thought. “Hey, I’m talking to you. What’s on your mind?” she nudged his arm and said.

“What did you say?” Keegan snapped back to reality and asked in a low voice.

“Why are you zoning out so early in the morning?” Stella complained before repeating herself.

After hearing her out, Keegan explained, “Recordings from wiretaps like this probably won’t hold up as direct evidence. But we can consult Ted about it later.”

Stella felt somewhat disappointed to learn that the evidence would not be admissible.

Keegan noticed this and reassured her, “Even if it can’t be used as primary evidence to press charges, this recording does validate your suspicions. Rainee’s car accident wasn’t an accident. It was a calculated murder. Our focus right now should be on gathering concrete proof.”

Stella realized that there was no need to rush. “Should we try to locate Walter?”

When a person got married, they would become part of their partner’s family. Hence, Sophia’s belongings would likely be connected with the Shaws.

When news of Hylda’s affair came to light, the Shaw family learned from Sophia that Hugo was not Albert’s biological son. This revelation brought immense joy to the Shaw family because it meant that Sophia had become the sole heir of the Jewell family. As a result, the Shaws treated Sophia even better than before.

Currently, Sophia and Ethan were living together. They were deeply in love and were behaving like newlyweds.

Albert called when Sophia was goofing around with Ethan. She did not find Ethan’s looks particularly appealing, but he had a way with words and knew how to make women happy. Even though Sophia had a contractual relationship with the company, Ethan consulted her on all major company matters and introduced her as his partner.
