Mr. Kane Got Blacklisted Chapter 1651 [Eleven Jewell]
“She would’ve told us if she’s seeing someone. One of her classmates from when she studied abroad is in town for a visit. She met up with them to show them around,” said Darcie.
Wenham furrowed his brows, “Why don’t I recall her mentioning it?”
“She brought it up a while ago. Stella was still unconscious then, so you might not have noticed.”
Wenham sensed a hint of disapproval in Darcie’s words.
After Stella reunited with the Saun family, Wenham had been emotionally neglectful toward Jaylene. Even though he treated them equally on the surface by giving Jaylene whatever he gave Stella, aside from Caline’s shares, he was evidently biased.
Wenham knew he was in the wrong and suggested, “How about we invite her classmate over for dinner? It’s not often they visit. Let’s be hospitable and make them feel welcome.”
“There’s no need for that. Just let them enjoy themselves. Besides, Stella hasn’t been in a good mood lately. It’s better not to put her in social situations she might not want to be in,” Darcie responded.

Sometime after, her phone rang, and she snapped back to reality.
It was Aldor calling. Stella picked up the phone and heard him ask, “Mrs. Kane, are you back?”
“Mhm. How are things on your side?” she replied.
Although things were far from good on Aldor’s side, he knew Stella was in an even worse state. So he lied, “Everything’s fine. They’ve found Mr. Kane’s phone. Do you want it back?” The phone was to be claimed by family members. Legally, Stella and Keegan were divorced, making Dahlia the one to claim it.
Aldor used the excuse of the phone containing sensitive company documents to request it from the police. Once approved, he took possession of it.
Since Keegan was a cautious person, he would not have stored important documents on his phone. The reason Aldor took it was to give Stella something to remember him by-
