Mr. Kane Got Blacklisted Chapter 2021 [Eleven Jewell]
Keegan was taken aback.
‘This does indeed sound like something I would say. Or rather, more like the kind of thing mom would throw my way back when I was younger.’ No matter how stellar Keegan’s achievements were during his childhood, Dahlia always had a way of cutting him down. “Don’t be too proud.
Someone might surpass you next time.”
“Your dad and I spent a fortune on your education, it’s the least you can do, ’ she’d say.
Keegan rarely received praise from Dahlia. Naturally, he struggled to share his achievements with his partner properly. What he intended as uplifting encouragement often sounded more like belittlement.
Dahlia wasn’t the best role model for Keegan. Despite thinking he’d distanced himself from his mother, constant praise from those around him blinded him to how much he mirrored her in specific aspects.
Looking at Stella with puppy eyes, Keegan asked softly, “So, do you prefer the old me or the current me?”
Stella chuckled and whispered in his ear, “You’re the kind of guy who can learn from your mistakes. I’d like you no matter what.”
Keegan grinned and said, “Actually, I’ve seen the movie. I went to the director’s place to check the raw footage before it hit the screens. The acting is actually good.”
“Was it still a C-rating performance?”
Keegan laughed. “It’s a B-rating performance this time.”

Olivia was an intelligent businesswoman, but she wasn’t all about the money.
