Mr. Kane Got Blacklisted (Stella and Keegan) novel Chapter 940

Keegan did not say anything. Instead, he lifted his glass and chugged it down again.

Shelley poured him another glass after they finished their drinks. “I’m going to tell you a secret about Stella. Can I trust you on this?”

Keegan put on a serious look and said in a deep voice. ’I’m all ears.”

Shelley looked at Stella, who was playing with the children, and said softly,” Stella is not Rainee’s biological daughter. She’s not an illegitimate child.”

Keegan paused, and his expression looked even more serious. “How did you know that?”

Shelley bowed her head down. “I accompanied Rainee to do the paternity test. I promised Rainee that I’d bring this secret to my grave. However, she’s not here anymore, and Stella is the only person she’d ever care about.

“There’s only so much I can do as a partner that she trusts. I couldn’t help her much with her marriage or work. I know there are a lot of rules in a wealthy family like yours, and everybody takes social status very seriously. I’m only telling you this because I don’t want you to have a gap with her just because she did not come from a legitimate family. Even if you can’t make it to the end for her, I don’t wish to see this as why you guys break up because that’s just not the truth.’

Keegan could not process what was happening.

‘Stella has all the documents to prove that she’s the daughter of Rainee. How is this possible?’

Then, he asked in a low voice, ’Who are her biological parents then?”

Shelley shook her head. “I have no idea, as she was mistaken as someone else’s daughter in the maternity ward. Rainee’s health deteriorated after giving birth to her child, making it almost impossible to be pregnant again. Nevertheless, she did everything she could to raise Stella, so she did not want to give her up even after finding out the truth.

“Even though they were not blood-related, their feelings for each other were genuine. She just couldn’t find herself leaving the child that she had raised. Also, she had no clue where her own child was. She couldn’t accept that she would be away from Stella and her biological daughter, so she didn’t look for her real parents. However, she did try to find her biological daughter, but to no avail.”

Keegan massaged his temple as the alcohol started kicking in. He had a lot of questions for Shelley, but he just could not think straight.
