Chapter 1111
Mr. Kane Got Blacklisted
âWhat are you talking about? This hairstyle has been trending these past few years,â said Stella.
Keegan pulled out a picture of Isaac Newton and compared Stellaâs hairstyle with his, concluding that it was a century-old fashion. Stella was so mad that she went to straighten her hair the next day.
âI canât believe he compared Grandmaâs perm to a clownâs wig,â she thought. âThen⦠Iâll have Keegan send me a few pictures of Sevin and forward them to you.â
âAsk him to take some close-ups, and donât try to fool me,â said Cordelia.
After Stella agreed to Cordeliaâs request, she ran downstairs, lured Sevin out with some bait, and took pictures of the fish with her phone. She waited a long time before sending the photos in order to appear that they were sent to her by Keegan.
Cordelia was eating some grapes in her garden when she heard the phone ring. She asked Baldwin to pick it up and saw that it was photos of the koi. She then grabbed her reading glasses and said, âZoom in the picture, Baldwin.â
Baldwin zoomed in on the photo, and Cordelia saw Stellaâs figure from the reflection in the pond. She was squatting on the water bank, taking pictures of the fish with her phone.
âThat darn kid! How dare he trick me?â Cordelia took off her glasses and threw them aside. âI knew something was up when Maria told me that Keegan hadnât been home much lately. Then, Aldor came and got Sevin. He said Keegan felt that the yard was empty and wanted a pet. Why would he want a pet koi when heâs afraid of water?! I canât believe that brat is hiding the fact that he and Stella are back together!â
âMaybe they donât want to go public yet because Ms. Jewell has a new image now,â said Baldwin.
âThatâs a stupid excuse!â Cordelia grunted. âWhen are they going to be official if not now? Are they going to wait till Stella becomes an international superstar? She probably wouldnât even want him anymore when that time comes!â
Baldwin did not know what to say.
It seemed as if Cordeliaâs grandson was worthless when compared to her granddaughter-in-law. Still, she was happy at the thought of them reconciling. âSay, do you think theyâre sleeping together?â asked Cordelia.
âItâs hard to say. Keegan is a well-behaved kid. I donât think he would do anything that displeases Ms.
Jewell,â Baldwin replied.
âHeâs an idiot if heâs playing by the rules now!â
Balwin was at a loss for words.
Cordelia was thinking about how she could assist her grandson when Auroraâs voice came from behind. âGrandma. If Cordelia turned around and beckoned her over. âYouâre awake,â she said.
âMhm,â Aurora responded, walked over, and sat next to the old lady. Aurora had lost some weight, including her baby fat, which made her features look more like Dahliaâs. She tugged at the grass around her feet and after a while, she said, âGrandma, I want to work at the company.â
âDo you have a position in mind?â Cordelia asked.
Aurora thought about it and said, âIâll take whatever youâre offering, Grandma.â
âEven if you start from the bottom like your brother did?
Aurora nodded.
Cordelia looked at her unexpectedly. âThis girl is holding her temper well after coming out of that detention center. Her personality also seems calmer now. She wouldnât have agreed to a low-ranking job position back then,â the old lady thought.
