Mr. Kane Got Blacklisted (Stella and Keegan) novel Chapter 608

Chapter 608

When Cordelia had finished speaking, Baldwin was asked to gift each of them a money pouch.Stella received the pouch with a"Thanks".

Jaylene, on the other hand, declined and said, "I'm afraid I'm not worthy of the money pouch Madam Kane is giving.I lack talent."

Stella paused then smiled immediately.

She said, "Ms.Saun, this is not a competition.We wrote the calligraphy to congratulate Grandma.Will it matter who is more talented as long as Grandma feels blessed?"

Baldwin added, ''Ms.Saun, please do keep it.Take it as a blessing from Madam Kane."

Jaylene hesitated a little before finally taking it.

"I'm sorry for my narrow-mindedness."

Stella did not reply to that, and she kept her thoughts to herself.

'I felt something fishy when Jaylene proposed to write calligraphy together.There were a lot of ways for her to be in the limelight, but she insisted on doing it together with me.It felt like she was using me as a stepping stone.Maybe her thought process isn't as innocent as I thought.Jaylene, being a daughter of the Saun family, shouldn't have any need to use others as a stepping stone.Maybe I'm overthinking this."

After the table was moved away, Marshall headed toward Keegan and Vermont.

Vermont greeted, "What took you so long, Marshall? I thought you weren't coming tonight."

Marshall politely smiled and replied, "There were a lot of cases to settle these past two days.That's why I was late."

His eyes trailed to Stella who had just arrived in front of him.

Marshall then continued, "Better late than never.Otherwise, I wouldn't see such an amazing sight if I arrived a moment later."

Stella smiled and replied, "No one would realize the surprise if you didn't point it out.I might even become a laughing stock if I did it myself."

The satisfaction Stella received was several times better when Marshall revealed the hidden portrait than if she did it herself.

‘My pretentious attitude was worth it after all, especially when I get to see all those faces in shock and disbelief.I can't believe a random skill I picked up from boredom since marrying Keegan could finally be of use."

"I didn't do much.What should be revealed will eventually prevail anyway.By the way, how did you pick up this skill?" asked Marshall curiously.
