Mr. Kane Got Blacklisted (Stella and Keegan) novel Chapter 1955

“Oh, I see…” Keegan pondered, a realization dawning on him. “I always assumed the person who set the password was sending me a message.”

Stella kept quiet, her mind racing. She vividly remembered the curious glance Keegan had given her when she set the password. She thought, ‘Did he always interpret it that way? No wonder he seemed restless that night, mumbling about being more straightforward in the future.’ Understanding dawned on Stella, and her expression shifted through various emotions before settling into a stiff expression. She remarked, “You really do have a wild imagination.”

Keegan noticed her embarrassment, a flicker of pleasure in his eyes. But soon, reflecting on her evasive behavior, his smile waned. He wondered, ‘One moment she’s affectionate, the next, she’s secretive with a phone call. Who was she talking to that made her feel so guilty?’ As he glanced at her phone, Stella quickly tucked it into her bag. Disappointed, Keegan thought, ‘Fine. I’ll find out who’s trying to pull her away from me.’ After dropping Stella off at Royalpark Villa, Keegan departed, suspecting Dahlia might not confess easily and her backup might already be on their way to meet her. He knew he had to look into it personally.

As soon as Keegan left, Stella rushed to her bedroom and dialed into the group voice call. The trio connected promptly.

“Why did you hang up on my calls?” Vermont asked, disbelief in his voice.

Stella explained apologetically, “Sorry, sorry. Keegan was right there. I couldn’t risk it.”

Vermont sounded puzzled. “But we were just chatting. Why act like you’re in the midst of an affair?”

Stella was uneasy. Even liking a video of a male internet celebrity would make Keegan paranoid. He could imagine her being unfaithful countless times and her guilty behavior would only fuel his suspicions.

“I’m sharing some insider information, don’t get me in trouble!” Vermont warned.

“Don’t worry,” Stella assured. “What we discuss stays between us. My lips are sealed.”
