MR. KANE GOT BLACKLISTED - Season 1 Episode 98

When Mrs. Chapman realized that she had been scammed and went to look for the artist, the artist had

already left with the money.

Stella heard about the incident from Aurora during a meal one time.

That incident was the reason Mrs. Chapman hated celebrities within the entertainment industry, so she

could not possibly side with Bella.

Even though Mrs. Chapman appeared kind, she was actually a petty person.

‘She won so much money during our game of Mah–Jongg but ended up losing it all when Keegan

showed up. So, how could she not hold a grudge?‘ thought Stella.

Mrs. Chapman did not dare to cross Keegan, but she was not scared of his wife–a nobody. Besides, she

was certain that Stella would not dare to offend her publicly.

It was true that Stella did not dare to offend her.

“Mrs. Chapman isn’t like Bella. If I offended Bella, I’d at most get into an argument with Keegan; but if I

offend Mrs. Chapman, she’d probably plot my demise again,‘ Stella thought again.

Stella did not even realize that she subconsciously thought Keegan would not do anything to her, even if

it were for Bella.

“You’re right, Mrs. Chapman. It was an inappropriate joke. I’d like to apologize if I offended you, Ms.

Young.”

Since Stella immediately apologized, Mrs. Chapman had to force down the sardonic remarks she was

about to say.

‘What dog breed is Stella?‘ she thought.

Bella was also stunned to see Mrs. Chapman defend her. However, she was satisfied with the way Stella

admitted her mistake, so she said in feigned magnanimity, “What are you saying, Mrs. Kane? It’s just a

joke. I didn’t take it to heart.”

Bella’s answer was somewhat idiotic. It made Mrs. Chapman, who had defended her, sound as if she

was being a little meddlesome.

As expected, Mrs. Chapman did not look happy. She took a deep breath and changed her tone.” Don’t

blame me for butting in, Stella. Your mother–in–law and I are like sisters, so you’re almost like a daughter

to me. My words may sound harsh at times, but it’s for your own good. Do you understand?”

Stella answered obediently, “I understand.”

Mrs. Chapman felt incredibly disdainful when she saw Stella’s timid demeanor. When she saw how

Keegan was still not paying attention to them, she lectured Stella in an elder’s stance. You’re the Kane

family’s eldest grandson’s wife, so everything you say and do will represent the Kane family’s image.

Think before you speak and act. You mustn’t be mannerless like you were in the past.”

Stella answered as if she did not understand the cynicism in Mrs. Chapman’s words.

”

“You’re right, Mrs. Chapman. I really need to learn from you when it comes to speaking and behaving.

My mother–in–law said you’re gracious, intelligent, ladylike, and virtuous. Not only did you educate your

children into outstanding people, but you’re also thoughtful and considerate when speaking or handling

matters. You and Mr. Chapman are also incredibly in love with each other, and your love is stronger than

steel. It’s already amazing for a normal person to achieve one of these traits, but you actually managed

to achieve all of these. What’s your secret?”

When everyone saw how respectful she was to Mrs. Chapman, everyone immediately followed along

and said words of flattery.

‘Mrs. Chapman and Dahlia have a good relationship. Even Mrs. Kane is treating her like an elder, so

wouldn’t that mean we’d get closer to the Kane family if we get close to Mrs. Chapman?‘ they thought.

“Mrs. Chapman, you and Mr. Chapman have been married for nearly 20 years, right? I heard Mr.

Chapman ordered a ring for Valentine’s Day this year. You two have been together for 20 years, yet he’s

still so romantic. My husband forgot about our wedding anniversary on the second year of our marriage.”

“Not only does Mrs. Chapman have a good relationship with Mr. Chapman, but Mr. Chapman’s mother

also speaks highly of Mrs. Chapman. The mother–in–law and daughter–in–law relationship they have is

really enviable.”

“Mrs. Chapman, share your secret behind having a happy marriage.”

One after another, the crowd buttered up Mrs. Chapman.

Mrs. Chapman cleared her throat and said, “Well, it really isn’t anything special. It’s unavoidable to have

some hiccups in life after marriage. Men toil away at work; as women, we should be more considerate

and tolerate them. There’s no obstacle that we can’t overcome in life.”

‘That’s servilism. While the division of labor among men and women is different, do women not face

hardships just because men do?‘ they wondered.
