Chapter 1688
Mr. Kane Got Blacklisted
Stella was not worried about the wealth distribution but the blood-related kin Chandler mentioned.
Beside Dahlia, who could that person be?â Chandler smirked, âYouâve been married to Keegan for so long. Donât you know he has a daughter?â Stella instinctively denied it, âThatâs impossible!â
Chandler replied indifferently, âDo I have a reason to lie about such things?â
As soon as he finished speaking, Stella saw Aurora coming inside with a little girl dressed in a full black outfit.
The little girl looked somewhat tanned and skinny but had large, lively eyes. Her facial features looked very prominent, too. Aurora was holding her hand while she looked at the unfamiliar faces around her curiously.
When she saw Stella, her eyes instantly lit up. However, she quickly looked away, took small steps through the crowd, and walked to the center of the memorial hall. Then, she called out to Dahlia in an adorable voice, âHello, Grandma.â
Dahliaâs eyes turned red as she bent down to pick the little girl up, âMy dear child, Iâm so sorry that you have to go through this.â
Everyone in the memorial hall watched the shocking scene unfold.
Nobody could believe that Keegan actually had a daughter. He had hidden her away so well that even Vermont was extremely surprised. Felicity even kicked him again, thinking that he worked with Keegan to hide this little girl from everyone else.
Only the members of the Kane family seemed to have known about this. None of them looked surprised, including Cordelia.
Then, Chandlerâs voice rang out, âToday is Keeganâs memorial service and also the day his daughter officially returns to the Kane family.â
Stellaâs mind immediately went blank as she murmured,â No⦠this is impossibleâ¦â
She rushed over as she spoke and grabbed the little girlâs hand. âWho are you?
Who exactly are you? Who brought you here?â she asked, agitated.
The little girl was startled and said softly, âMs. Jewell, it hurts.â
âMs. Jewellâ¦â Stellaâs emotions became even more uncontrollable, âHow did you know my last name used to be Jewell? Who told you that?â
The little girl got more scared as she replied timidly, âDaddy said so. He also said he would bring me to see you when the right time came. He told me that youâd like me. Ms. Jewell, do you not like me?â
Stellaâs entire body turned chilly as she clutched the little girlâs arm. âYouâre lying! Tell me, who are you?!â she gritted her teeth and asked.
Dahlia finally reacted as she stepped forward to push Stella away, âHow could you hurt a child just because of the inheritance? Are you crazy?â
Stella lost her balance and stumbled after Dahlia pushed her. Fortunately, Marshall, who stood behind her, held her back up.
Trevorâs expression immediately changed after seeing someone assaulting his sister in front of everyone. He stepped forward and pushed Dahlia away without holding back at all.
âYouâre the one who brought a child here, claiming that sheâs Keeganâs daughter just for his wealth. It sounds like youâre the crazy one here. Keegan has been missing for less than a month, yet youâre in such a hurry to organize a funeral.
To me, itâs pretty obvious whoâs the one coveting his wealth!â
He grabbed Stellaâs hand and spoke coldly, âLetâs go. From now on, we will have absolutely nothing to do with the Kane family!â
A familiar, deep voice came from the door as Trevor was about to pull Stella away.
âWhoâs dead?â 5 Stella trembled all over and froze in place.
