Mr. Kane Got Blacklisted (Stella and Keegan) novel Chapter 271

Chapter 271

The effect of Jurisdiction’s broadcast was beyond expectations. Besides the story’s merit, this was mainly due to Stella’s interpretation of the character. The producer clearly knew this and naturally wanted to shoot a sequel to it. The rate still had space for negotiation.

Stella thought about it and said, “I can help you shoot a few more, and I still wouldn’t need any paycheck. However, I need you to help me do something.”

Lena was surprised, “Me?”

Stella nodded and leaned in to whisper two sentences into her ears. Then, she asked, “Is that okay?”

Lena looked at her thoughtfully. After a long while, she said, “Sure.”

A breeze flowed through. A waft of soft fragrance rushed to their noses.

Lena furrowed her brows. “This floral fragrance is odd.”

“It’s devil’s snare.” Stella gave the few stalks of flowers on the balcony a look. She said quietly, “It’s not good if you inhale too much.”

‘This store is too much. They even put this type of flower on the balcony. They seem to not be afraid that the guests would ingest it,‘ Stella thought.

“You seem to know a lot about this flower. You knew what it was just from a glance,” Lena noted.

“I planted some at home. Devil’s snare is quite beautiful. It’s just that they’re poisonous, so you need to be diligent when keeping them,” Stella said as she scrolled through her phone. She tapped open the picture of her dual–colored devil’s snare that had bloomed.

Lena was utterly amazed. “It’s quite pretty.”

“If you like them, I can gift you a few later.” Both of them chatted while walking back. Just as they reached the corridor, they heard a voice.

“Carter, are you nuts? What did you mean just now?” It was Molly’s voice. Her tone was slightly angry, but she tried to suppress her volume.

Carter pushed her hand away and tidied his attire. His expression was laid back. “Ms. Moore, have a little self–respect. I’m a married man.”

Molly sneered. “Why are you pretending in front of me? Didn’t you marry the coroner just to get back at me? Why? Did you put too much emotion into your act? You would let me lose face just for her?”

Stella was speechless.

‘What’s this shocking news?‘ Stella thought.

She discreetly glanced at Lena. She had a nonchalant expression, but the hand holding the yogurt tightened, and her knuckles were white. She could not leave, yet she could not stay, which made it awkward.

Instead, Carter had a lackadaisical expression and sneered out, “Ms. Moore, you might have

held yourself on too high a pedestal. We’re all grown–ups. If you like each other, you stay. If you don’t like each other, you break up. What’s there for me to take revenge on you for? It’s just the truth.”
