Mr. Kane Got Blacklisted (Stella and Keegan) novel Chapter 2030

Stella chuckled, “This necklace is so heavy; I doubt flushing it down the toilet would work.”

Keegan gritted his teeth and said, “How could you say that? You deliberately put it on the bedside to make me uncomfortable, right?”

Stella nodded unapologetically and replied with a smile, “I just wanted to see how long you could pretend.”

Keegan was at a loss for words.

Feigning anger, he said, “You have no sense of boundaries! How many times have you received gifts from him?”

“Not many. Just a necklace and a talisman.”

Keegan’s fake irritation turned into genuine annoyance. “What about the phone he gave you?”

Stella chuckled nervously upon hearing that. “It’s been too long; I forgot.” Then she justified herself. “Besides, it’s not like I accepted it for free. I gave him a tie in return. It cost me 6999 dollars. When I think about it, it feels like a loss. That phone wasn’t worth that much either.”

Keegan had a deadpan face at that point. “It cost you 7098; you missed ninetynine dollars.”

Stella was taken aback for a moment, then remembered the socks and burst into laughter. “How long are you going to remember those 99-dollar socks?”

“I’ll remember them for the rest of my life!” Keegan exclaimed.

He turned to glare at Stella and continued, “Have you secretly accepted anything else from him?”

“No, I haven-” Stella stopped mid-sentence and said, “Before Thanksgiving, Marshall sent some egg tarts to my place.”

Keegan’s face turned green. “And you accepted it?”

“Before that, he sent me two boxes of egg tarts from Royle’s. Felicity liked them a lot, so I accepted them,” Stella laughed dryly.

She suddenly remembered the two rabbit keychains that came with the pastry gift box. Felicity took one, and Stella hung the other on her bag.

After the kidnapping case, the police asked her to retrieve personal items, but the rabbit keychain on her bag was gone. The police claimed they did not see it, but she had securely fastened it herself.
