Mr. Kane Got Blacklisted (Stella and Keegan) novel Chapter 316

Chapter 316

Keegan replied coolly, “Something came up in the company at the last minute, so we were delayed for a while.”

Dahlia glanced at him. “When Jackson arrived, he told me you left the office a long time ago.” “He doesn’t even work on the same floor as me, so how would he know when I left?”

Dahlia was speechless. She looked at the two with slight annoyance and said in a displeased tone, “Come in. You two are the only ones left.”

When the two entered, the living room was already filled with people.

It was actually Cordelia’s 79th birthday this year. However, Rivera had a custom where one’s ninth birthday was celebrated instead of their tenth. That was why Cordelia celebrated her 80th birthday when she was only 79.

The Kane family attached great importance to the matter. Aside from Keegan’s aunt’s family, who was abroad and could not make it back in time, every young person in the family was present.

Cordelia sat in the middle. Dahlia and Aurora sat on her left, while Chandler and Cyrene sat on her right. Meanwhile, Jackson sat on the couch across from Cordelia’s seat. He was telling her interesting stories about his visit to the company’s western branch.

“You’re too mischievous. You actually thought of putting pepper in the water?”

“Well, I felt defiant at the time. Who was a mere supervisor like him to tell me what to do? That’s why I wanted to teach him a lesson. But, in the end, he couldn’t bring himself to pour the water even though he gave me the punishment of cleaning the toilet for another week.”

Jackson sighed and continued, “After that, I was finally convinced. We’re both humans, so why can he endure hardships but not me? No matter what happens, I can’t bring shame to the Kane family.”

Cordelia said, “It’s good that you think that way.”

Cyrene smiled.

“Jackson really grew up this time. At first, he called us every day, saying that he wanted to come home. Then, he slowly got used to it and no longer said he wanted to come home when he called. Every day, he’d tell me about the things he had seen and learned. When he came home, his colleagues there were reluctant for him to leave and gave him a few boxes of their local specialties. He sent them to you as soon as he returned. For the past few months, he’s gotten stronger and tanner. Most importantly, he’s more sensible.”

Chandler waited for Cyrene to finish before he said, “Alright. He’s in his twenties now; it’s time he grew up.”
