Mr. Kane Got Blacklisted (Stella and Keegan) novel Chapter 561

Chapter 561

Stella went to a valley in an old town following the address given by Karl. She looked everywhere and finally found a small restaurant that served roasted beef.

She pushed the door open. The restaurant was only about a hundred square feet big but crowded with patrons. There were men, women, and children, but none of them looked like a detective.

Someone patted Stella's shoulder when she was still trying to find Karl. "Are you Miss Jewell?"

Stella turned around and saw a young man ina black hoodie and a pair of jeans standing behind her.

That young man was almost a head taller than her. He had a rather skinny build, fair skin, big eyes with bushy brows, and a young- looking face. He looked like a university student.

"Are you Karl?" Stella asked hesitantly.

The young man smiled. "Is it surprising?"

Stella had never met him, so she said, "You look very young."

Karl ordered a set of roast beef and pulled the chair before sitting down casually, "Don't be deceived by my looks. I'm already thirty- seven years old."

The accident happened right before they were about to divorce, and Albert would have the most to gain if anything bad happened to Rainee. Stella just could not find herself not suspecting him. She would do anything to make Albert pay if the car crash was not purely an accident!

Karl made a copy of everything Stella showed him and said, "If what you said is true that the other party left Rivera right after receiving the compensation, then I'm sure something fishy is going on. I'll try to reach that person's family member and let you know once I have any updates." Then, he paused for a while before continuing, "Pay me a portion of the fees first. I'll refund you if I fail to find anything useful. If I did, you'd have to pay the outstanding amount the next time we meet. Is that okay?"

"Of course."

Karl was very popular in the field, so Stella was not worried he would scam her. She even paid him twenty thousand extra and asked him to investigate sooner.

She was going to engage in a lawsuit against Albert about the issue of property division, so she had to find something useful before the legal proceedings ended. She wanted to send Albert to jail if he did plot against her mother to embezzle the properties. Also, she would not let Hylda and her daughter get away with it either.
