Mr. Kane Got Blacklisted (Stella and Keegan) novel Chapter 31

Chapter 31

The familiar shrill voice with a hint of surprise instantly stirred Stella in disgust. Stella raised her head and gave an impassive look. “It’s been a while since we last met, Miss Young.”

The store owner who came shortly after surprisingly asked, “Have you two met before?”

Bella fixed her jacket and wandered in front of Stella. She then took a seat facing her with a smirk and said, “More than that. We are familiar with each other.”

The store owner did not perceive the deeper intent at the moment and laughed, “So, you are acquaintances. Would the two of you like to discuss this in private?”

Bella glanced at the store owner. “We just know each other, but not to the extent of a friendly relationship.

Bella made the store owner feel awkward by pointing out their relationship with one sentence. Stella still had a stoic expression and pushed the case over. “According to the store’s rules, let’s sample the goods first.”

The store owner took the bag and started inspecting it after seeing that Bella had no objections. The end table in the private room was narrow. The distance between Stella and Bella was approximately a meter. The tense atmosphere between the two made the store owner, who was a few meters away, feel pressured.

“Stella, you are quite thick–skinned. How are you not ashamed of selling things from the Kane family.”

“I’m just selling the things I don’t want. Why should I feel ashamed? So, do you mean that those who scramble for things others don’t want should die from shame?” Stella let out a chuckle. “Well, aren’t you living just fine, Miss Young?”
