Mr. Kane Got Blacklisted (Stella and Keegan) novel Chapter 2180

When you think you're about to hit the jackpot at the casino, that's when you've already lost.

You might aim to profit, but there's always someone else aiming to profit off you.

Blake, a fixture at the casino for decades, had long been seduced by the promises of wealth and luxury.

Yet, anyone with a sense to call it quits wouldn't still be gambling after so many years, ending up nothing but a gambler deep in debt.

In the end, he squandered all the money he had, owing the house over ten million, even resorting to mortgaging his sole villa to them.

With eyes burning red, Blake lunged forward, demanding Vermont to be held accountable, saying that he had set him up and cheated him off his money.

But claiming that Vermont had cheated would raise doubts about the casino's management, something they couldn't allow.

So, with a sack over his head, they knocked him out and dumped him onto the street.

Stella and Vermont, an odd pair of unrelated siblings, swiftly split the ill-gotten gains on the spot.

Then, blindfolded, they were escorted out in the casino's car.

Once the blindfolds were removed, silence fell between them.

Not far away, a Maybach awaited, with Keegan standing expressionless in front of them, dressed in a suit.

Stella nudged Vermont, urging him to say something, anything.

Vermont played his part, widening his eyes.

"Stella, did the babies kick you?" "Huh?" Stella was taken aback, then instinctively covered her stomach, "Oh, yes, quite a kick.” Vermont supported her, giving her a meaningful glance.

"Doesn't it hurt when the babies kick?" "It does," Stella pitifully glanced at Keegan, "Honey, your daughter and son are giving me a hard time." Keegan didn't move forward, coldly observing the two lousy actors.

After a while, he finally said, "Get in the car." The two performers dropped their act, quietly opening the car door and slipping inside.

Only then did they realize another accomplice was seated in the back.

Felicity forced a smile, waving at them.
