Mr. Kane Got Blacklisted By Eleven Jewell Chapter 24
‘Do I want to lose face?‘ Stella thought. ‘Besides, it was obvious that Keegan had been cheating on me. If I stay, and a child just comes up to him and calls him “Daddy” one day, I would be the joke of Rivera.‘
‘I must go through this divoroe no matter what!’ Her face changed again when she thought of that. “Look, Mr. Kane, you getting a divorce would be a huge deal for Rivera, no? If we just get a divorce without any advance notice, it will have an impact on the company’s stocks and so on. That’s not good now, is it?”
Keegan glanced at her and said, “What are you trying to say?”
“I’m saying we should announce the divorce after one year to avoid those fallouts. What do you think?” She said. Keegan stared at her sullenly without saying a word. Stella’s heart was beating fast. “Is that too long? How about we announce it after eight months?” She whispered. Keegan’s gaze was already cold. “I-I think… Half a year is too short, but it’s fine if you want to announce it…”
Keegan gritted his teeth and said, “Stella, if you say one more word, I’ll throw you out of here!” Stella immediately shut her mouth.
“Do you think we can get divorced this month?” She asked again in a low voice after staying quiet for some time.
A few minutes later, the security guards brought her out of Keegan’s office. She was cursing and swearing to herself all the way, ‘That Keegan Kane is such a jerk! He was plainly trying to delay my time and play me! I should’ve just given his lunch to the stray dogs out there!’ All text © NôvelD(r)a'ma.Org.
As soon as the elevator door opened, she bumped into Aurora, who was about to get on the elevator.’ What are you doing here?” Aurora asked with a sour face and obviously not glad to see her. “Who let
you in here?” She continued.
Of course, Stella was also not happy to see Aurora. “My husband works here. Why can’t I be here?” She replied with indifference.
“Do you actually think of yourself as part of our family? Do you really think that half of Rivera would be yours after marrying my brother? Who the hell do you think you are?” Aurora sneered.
Stella pursed her lips and said, “Yeah, you’re right. I don’t know my place. Maybe you should look in the mirror and tell me what you see.”
Aurora was taken aback, probably because she did not expect Stella, who had always been weak and cowardly, to fight back. Soon, her face darkened. “What? After pretending for so many years, you finally can’t bear it anymore? I guess people from low–income families are generally low in class.”
Stella’s expression became cold as she said, “I’m warning you, Aurora. You don’t want to provoke me.” Aurora dismissed her threat. “So what if I provoke you? What are you going to do? Tell my brother? Hah. Do you think he’d be on your side?”
Stella stared at her coldly and said, “He would when he finds out about what happened on that night of the wedding.” Aurora’s face dropped when she heard that.
“You better keep your mouth shut. Otherwise, you’d be a goner if that incident accidentally slipped out of my mouth. I mean, grandma values the Kane family’s reputation so much. What kind of punishment do you think she would come up with if she knew what you did?”
