Mr. Kane Got Blacklisted (Stella and Keegan) novel Chapter 2026

Darcie was surprised. ’What did you say?” she asked.

Jaylene shut her mouth.

Darcie had given up on the idea of her being with Keegan. She would give Jaylene an earful if she discovered she was secretly in touch with him.

“Nothing, Mom. Why are you still up so late?”

“I can’t seem to fall asleep. I’ve got a headache.” Darcie sat beside her and continued, “Why haven’t you been hanging out with Trevor lately? You used to follow him around all the time.”

A touch of indifference appeared on Jaylene’s face as she heard Trevor’s name.

“He’s too busy being all nice to his biological sister. He has no time for me, ” she answered.

“What are you talking about? Trevor loved you most when you were younger.

He hardly talked to me, but he always loved playing with you,” said Darcie.

“Since Stella and Trevor were separated since childhood, it’s understandable that they have a close bond now that she’s back. However, you and Trevor grew up together. He must be disappointed you’re not taking the initiative to talk to him.”

Jaylene bit her lips before saying, “He doesn’t treat me like he used to. All the kindness he showed me vanished after Stella’s return. I was just a replacement for his lost sister. Now that she’s back, I no longer have any standing.”

Darcie explained, “That’s because you always have a hostile attitude toward Stella. You compete with her for attention in front of her father and brother. How can you possibly win that way? Only by treating her well can your father treat you well and slowly understand your grievances. Do you get it?”

Jaylene was taken aback and seemed to understand what Darcie was talking about.

“Talk to your brother and keep an eye on the people he interacts with.”

“Why should I do that?” Jaylene replied.

Darcie said in disdain, “Your brother isn’t young anymore. If something happens, your father and I can also be mentally prepared to learn more about the other party.”
