Chapter 1096
Mr. Kane Got Blacklisted
Trevor quickly showed the pictures of Stella sleeping that Keegan took to Mr. and Mrs. Hall Sr. âLook, sheâs asleep. You can stop worrying now,â he said.
Mrs. Hall Sr. grabbed the phone and looked at the person in the picture lovingly. Mr. Hall Sr. tried to squeeze his way in to see the photo and said,â Hey, let me see!â
âWhy do I feel that she has become much thinner? Her cheekbones are higher, and her face looks smaller than before.â
âI think so too. Her complexion doesnât look too well.â
âOh, the poor thingâ¦â
Trevorâs eyelids twitched when he heard that. âIsnât her complexion a little off because Keegan has a warm light on?â
The couple could not get enough of the photos until they realized something. âTrevor, who took these pictures if Stella is asleep?â Mrs. Hall Sr. asked.
âHer assistant,â Trevor answered with a straight face.
âIs that so?â Mr. Hall Sr. held the phone farther away and stared at the picture for a long time before he said, âWhy do I see what looks like a menâs belt on the bedside table?â
âYou must be mistaken, grandpa,â replied Trevor. âThatâs a choker. Itâs a type of necklace that young women often wear nowadays. Theyâre usually made of lace, cloth, and sometimes, leather.â
âA leather necklace? Isnât that the same as a dog collar?â Mrs. Hall Sr. frowned.
âGrandma, you donât get it. Itâs a fashion trend. Itâs similar to when overcoats were popular during your generation. Many young people wear them.â
The old couple found it strange that the younger generation would put on leather collars around their neck. But, as soon as they reminded themselves about their precious granddaughter, they said, âStella looks good in anything.â
Wenham stayed silent. âThis boyâs bluffs are rather useful for once. Mom and Dad keep getting fooled.â
After appeasing the two elders, Trevor left and drove home with Wenham. While they were on their way, Wenham asked, âHowâs the actor who fell and hurt herself? Why is there still no news about her?
You should quickly ask her to clarify the situation.â
âDonât worry. Iâll take care of it,â said Trevor as he steered the wheel.
âHow are you going to do that?â Wenham understood Trevorâs temper. With a serious face, he said, âDonât act foolishly, son. Weâre not overseas.
Remember to do everything according to the law of this country.â
âWhat are you talking about? When have I done anything illegal?â Trevor said in disdain.
âHave you forgotten what you did while you were underage?â
Trevor chuckled at the sound of those words. âI was just trying to scare those guys. Who knew theyâd be such cowards?â
âThis matter involves Stella. I donât care how you handle it as long as itâs reasonable and legal in the court of law. Itâs important you donât tarnish your reputation while clearing her name. Got it?â
âOh. Have I gotten an upgrade? Am I on par with your daughter now?â Trevor teased.
Wenham then grunted, âIâm just scared that youâd drag me down in the process.â
Trevor laughed and did not say anything else.
