Mr. Kane Got Blacklisted Chapter 1996 [Eleven Jewell]

“Keegan?” Darcie’s voice was tinged with uncertainty. She thought, ‘It’s unusual for Keegan to be with Jaylene so late.’ “Why do you have Jaylene’s phone?” she inquired.

Stella, mimicking Keegan’s voice, explained, “Jaylene had too much to drink. I brought her to my place to help sober her up. She didn’t want to go home in this state, fearing you’d be angry.”

Darcie frowned, “Keegan, bringing Jaylene to your place is inappropriate. You’re engaged to Stella, even if just in name. It looks bad. Send her home now.”

After a feigned pause, Stella replied, “I planned to, but Jaylene insisted on staying, not wanting to upset you while drunk. Don’t worry; Aldor’s here too. It won’t affect Jaylene’s reputation.”

Darcie was silent for a moment. Just as Stella thought she had been persuaded, Darcie said, “Turn on the video call. I want to see Jaylene.”

Stella, maintaining her composure, agreed, “okay.”

The call ended, and Darcie’s video call request soon came through on Jaylene’s phone.

Stella, caught in a bind, neither answered nor disconnected.

Holding Jaylene’s phone, she turned the flashlight to its brightest and, with the persistent ringtone echoing, messaged Keegan on WhatsApp: [Darcie called Jaylene’s phone, she wants a video to see Jaylene’s condition. We need to wrap this up quickly.] Keegan swiftly replied: [OK.] The unanswered video call left Darcie hanging up and calling back. The once mundane ringtone now echoed ominously, heightening Stella’s anxiety.

Shortly after, Keegan emerged from the room. Stella went upstairs with Jaylene’s phone to brief him on the situation.
