Mr. Kane Got Blacklisted (Stella and Keegan) novel Chapter 1951

It seems like I overlooked this aspect,’ Stella thought. ‘I guess I can’t rub salt in the wound for now.’ Then, another concern came to mind. “Would your mom be released without charges if they found out that I’m not really injured?”

Without looking at her, Keegan calmly replied, “Well, the hotel staff accidentally injured themselves while cleaning up the oil.”

Stella was taken aback. ’The cleaning staff injured themselves?”

“Yeah.” Keegan glanced at her and continued, “Should I take you to the surveillance room and show you?”

Stella shrugged. “No. It was just a casual question.”

Keegan observed the talisman she held tightly and felt a little irritated. “You’re getting water on my neck,” he said.

Upon hearing this, Stella immediately wanted to switch hands, but Keegan continued, “Are you trying to get my other side wet too?”

Stella did not reply.

“Put it in my pocket,” Keegan said with indifference.

“But, won’t that make your pocket wet?”

“It’s fine. My clothes are thick,” Keegan responded.

He spoke nonchalantly as if it was a minor inconvenience.

He has already made his point clear earlier. So, he shouldn’t be jealous anymore, right?’ Stella considered for a moment and followed his instructions, placing the talisman in his pocket.

Keegan told the driver to go, as they got into the car.

“Are you going to pick up your sister?” Stella asked.

Keegan replied, “Aldor is doing that.”
