MR. KANE GOT BLACKLISTED - Season 1 Episode 91

Things wouldn’t have ended up this way if it wasn’t for Stella, that jinx.”

“I thought of getting to know Ms. Saun. Looks like it has become a moot point since rumor has it that she

has been admitted to the hospital,” one of the ladies said.

Aurora had a sudden realization and said, “Let’s not jump to any conclusion since the Saun family may

have intended to close the hotel. She had to survive today by hook or by crook. If Keegan found out

about this, she could only hard–headedly deny it.

No one brought up any objections after they heard what she said,

The phone rang right after Felicity finished editing the, not leaving her room to take a breath.

The caller was an unknown number Thinking it was the food delivery, she picked up the call. She

immediately stood at attention from the bed after hearing the voice from the other end.

“Where is Stella?”

“Wh–What do you want from me?”

The trauma left within Felicity had yet to subside.

Hearing Keegan’s voice, she immediately tensed up.

Keegan repeated, “Where is Stella?”

Felicity, who was loathing yet fearful, whispered, “Didn’t she join you for some dinner gathering or

something?”

“She is absent and not picking up her phone.”

“What does that have to do with me?! She is most likely trying to avoid you!

Knowing Keegan’s mean streak, Felicity did not dare to refute and said, “How about I call her for you?”

“I’ll have to trouble you for that,” said Keegan, finally sounding more reasonable.

Immediately after, Felicity contacted Stella. But, just like Keegan, the phone patched through, but no one

picked up the call.

Keegan frowned deeply and hung up without another word.

Right at that moment, Vermont hugged Keegan by the shoulder and whispered, “Marshall’s here. Let’s

go meet his girlfriend.”

Keegan pushed Vermont’s hands away and said, “Go by yourself.”

Vermont snatched away Keegan’s phone and said, “You can’t possibly miss Stella, who is still alive and

kicking. Let’s go tease Marshall, and then I’ll help you out.”

Without waiting for Keegan’s refute and still hugging Keegan’s shoulders, Vermont dragged Keegan

away

Stella came out from her bath and changed into the dress left by the hotel’s staff

A white, off–shoulder, split–thigh prom dress with a fishtailed hem design. It was not overly simplistic yet

not too glamorous. A truly elegant yet decent dress.

Marshall was already waiting. He was standing at the walkway just outside of Stella’s room when she

came out

Hearing her exit from the room, he lifted his head and looked in her direction.

Even if she was in a crowd, Stella’s iconic and well–balanced frame made her stand out. And now, with

makeup on, she looked even more gorgeous

Marshall’s gaze paused at the sight in front of him.

Stella walked over and whispered, ‘Is this dress very expensive?

Marshall smiled and whispered, “It’s from the Hotel Manager To thank you for your act of bravery.”

Stella’s eyes widened “Did he have to go to such lengths?

Marshall smiled and said, “Do you have any idea what he would have to bear if you didn’t save that

person’s life? Like our country’s great philosopher Frantz Coyne said. It’s valid to accept the reward of

brave, good deeds. This dress doesn’t cost a lot, so wear it with no womes”

“Did Frantz Coyne really say that about brave, good deeds?

“Of course!” said Marshall gently, as he unhurriedly reiterated a story about Frantz Coyne’s apprentice

ransoming a slave, which was where the quote originated from

Stella thought to herself, How knowledgeable. As expected of a lawyer

As Vermont dragged Keegan toward the lobby, they found Marshal arm–in–arm with a beautiful girl

chatting jovially as they walked toward the hall

It was hard to discern the lady’s face from a distance, with the crowd and dim lighting affecting their field

of vision. Yet, anyone could, at a glance, realize her peerless beauty from that tall, hourglass–like figure

Vermont squinted, “I can’t believe Marshall is the sery ones I assumed he would be into the innocent

type.” Elbowing Keegan, Vermont continued, “His taste is a lime like yours.”

Keegan glanced at Vermont but did not rebut

Keegan felt a sense of familiarity when he slightly scanned the figure.

“Come on, let’s have a closer look.”

As soon as he said that, Vermont pulled Keegan’s arm, trying to catch up

Stella, who had been helped by Marshall time and time again, gradually lowered her guard around him,

She thought to herself, it would be better if I reveal my real identity to Marshall now. It would avoid the

awkwardness if someone were to find out about me when he is helping me with the itigation

›

Now that she had steeled her resolve, Stella was about to speak up when a hand tapped on Marshall’s

shoulders. “You’re finally here after waiting for you for half a day. Now let’s have a look at the beauty you.

Why are you here

The moment Stella turned around, Vermont’s voce almost

from their socket.

What is going on?

Why did Marshall bring Stella?

ched. His eyes were about to pop out

Vermont, in the next moment, tumed his head to look at Keegan, who was standing beside tim anh to

find that Keegan s face had already darkened.

Stella stood frozen on the spot. She did not expert that Marshal an

Marshall was the only one still clueless about the situation. Seeing Vermont’s reaction, Marshall

questioned, “Are you acquainted with Miss Thompson?”

“Thompson. What Thompson?”

Stella, on the other hand, could already feel Keegan’s burning gaze without even lifting her head.

“Miss Thompson. Celeste Thompson,” Marshall warmly introduced Stella. “Miss Thompson, these two

are my buddies. This is Vermont, who is the same age as me, and this is Keegan, the only one married

among us three.” After a pause, Marshall suddenly asked, “Where’s your wife, Keegan?”
