Mr. Kane Got Blacklisted (Stella and Keegan) novel Chapter 145

Chapter 145

Stella did not answer Albert’s calls. Finally, after more than an hour, Albert asked someone to remove the search entry, but a new one popped up after the old one was deleted. The trending searches on the matter were like a ticking time bomb; there was no way to suppress it.

Albert paced back and forth when he thought of what would happen to him if he did not settle the problem. “Is she still not picking up?” Hylda put a cup of warm milk on the coffee table and asked. Albert frowned, shook his head, and said, “No, she’s not.”

Hylda glanced at the time and said, “She should be awake by now. Is she not answering on purpose?”

“But she has no reason not to answer my calls.”

“Maybe she felt guilty and dared not pick up,” Hylda snorted coldly. “I mean, you called and told her to ask Keegan to talk to Vermont yesterday. Don’t you think it’s too much of a coincidence that something like this happened today? ‘Merchant gave Hermes bag as a gift.’ He only gifted her the bag two to three days after her purchase. Who does that and parades it around on a flag?”

Albert frowned. He also found the whole incident strange but believed Stella had no reason to do so. “You’re overthinking. Stella is the only heiress in our family. Why would she want to sabotage her own family? What benefit would she reap from it?” Albert pursed his lips and said.

But Hylda dismissed him, “Don’t forget who gave birth to her. She is just as ruthless as Rainee Spade. Did you forget how she questioned you the last time we met in the parking lot? If she knew what happened back then, she would rather die in honor than live in disgrace with that personality of hers. You say she’s the heiress of the Jewell family, but she’s also the daughter- in-law of the Kanes. If Keegan becomes Vinci Rivera’s successor, she will be the lady of the family. Do you really believe she would want anything to do with the Jewell family then?” Albert’s face darkened. He had clearly thought about that as well. Stella had not been close to him since she was a child. Their relationship became worse after what happened between him and Rainee. It was only when she got married to Keegan that there was an apparent change in their connection.
