Mr. Kane Got Blacklisted (Stella and Keegan) novel Chapter 457

Chapter 457

"Keegan." Vermont twisted the bottle and took a sip. "I was finally able to contact him. He'd probably arrive at half past ten."

Marshall paused and said in a low tone, "That's good."

Vermont turned around and took a look inside the funeral parlor.

"What about Stella?"

“Watching the mortician do the makeup," Marshall answered.

Vermont shuddered and mumbled under his breath, "She really has a lot of guts."

The funeral parlor had done Rainee's makeup as per Stella's instructions. The makeup artist was quite proficient. When they called for Stella to take a look, she immediately felt like she was seeing Rainee as she was years ago. Her hair was still black, and there was still flesh on her cheeks. When she did not smile, she seemed slightly serious. She lay there quietly as if she was asleep.

The mortician asked Stella if she wanted to give Rainee shoes to wear. There was a saying in Rivera that when a close family member passes away, if her next of kin helps her wear shoes, the deceased would be able to find their way home during Tomb- Sweeping day or Ghost Festival.

Stella refused. She said nonchalantly, “If people become souls when they die, I hope she would never return to this home."

‘This wasn't even worthy of being called a home,' she thought. Just before nine o'clock, people started to enter the funeral in droves. With Vermont and Marshall there, the venue seemed very orderly. With the two big shots, the Snyder family and the Moore family, present to pass the incense and lead the way, Rainee's memorial had at least seemed respectable.

Stella was dressed in all black. Her hair was coiled into a bun behind her head. A single white flower was stuck to the side, and she wore mourning apparel. She did not wear makeup, so her face seemed cold and clean. When she heard the people who had come to mourn say, "My condolences," she would numbly nod her head and thank them.

Outside the funeral parlor, Xavier got down from the car. He pulled the passenger side door open, and a girl wearing earth-colored clothes walked out of the vehicle. She was about 1.65 meters tall.

Her complexion was fair, and she seemed very skinny. She had a tiny face with slightly elongated eyes. Her features were exquisite.

"Brother, this funeral parlor is tiny," the little girl mumbled quietly.
