Chapter 29
Mr. Kane Got Blacklisted
By the time the caretaker could react and stop Aurora, it was too late. The caretaker panicked when she saw the boxes stomped into pieces. âHow could you do this, Ms. Kane?!â She asked.
âMy mother wouldnât want those things from the Jewell family anyway,â Aurora snorted coldly.
âThat doesnât mean you should stomp on it! How am I supposed to give it to Mrs. Kane now? Your brother specifically asked me to hand it over to your mom. How will I explain myself when he sees it destroyed?â âJust tell him you gave it to her. He wouldnât know if you didnât.â
âButâ¦â
âNo buts! Iâll take the blame if anything happens. Hurry up and throw out this garbage. Itâs so annoying to look at!â Aurora glared at her and said. The caretaker did not dare to say anything further, so she kept her mouth shut and cleaned up the floor.
As soon as Stella entered the house, Felicity saw the bandâaid on her neck. After some questioning, she was caught up with everything that had happened. âThat crazy woman wouldnât know karma if it hit her baby,â Felicity said indignantly. âBut, I canât believe you gave that handsome Bentley guy a coffee.â
âWhat else could I have done to repay him?â
Felicity slapped her thigh and said, âYou should have had him come up here for a meal! Coffee sounds disingenuous.
âIâve only met him twice. Wouldnât it be too abrupt to invite someone to have dinner with us?â
âNo, itâs not. Times are different, Stella. People have dinner after they meet for the first time. Isnât it considered fate that you guys met twice in three days? How old is this Bentley dude? Is he handsome?â
Stella felt like Felicity was hinting at something else. âWhat are you hinting at?â She narrowed her eyes and asked.
âNothing,â Felicity replied. âI just think that heâs not a bad guy. Maybe you can get together with him, you know?â
âWhat are you talking about?! Iâm married!â Stella threw a pillow toward her face and exclaimed. Felicity caught the pillow and said, âArenât you getting divorced soon? Whatâs the matter with searching for a new partner in advance? By the way, didnât you talk to Keegan about the divorce today? What did he say? When can you guys get everything done?â
Stellaâs face dropped when she heard that. âI donât want to talk about it. Keegan kicked me out of the building just now.â
âWhat? What happened?â
Stella told Felicity everything that happened in the Vinci Rivera Group in detail, except for the medical checkup she booked for Keegan. Felicity was a little confused after listening to her. âWhy do I feel like Keegan isnât happy with you talking about the divorce?â
âHeâs always been like this with everything I do,â Stella shrugged in reply.
âReally? Then, why doesnât he just settle the divorce once and for all if heâs so unhappy? Why do I feel like he doesnât want a divorce?â
Stella was stunned for a moment. She then shook her head and said, âYou donât know him. Itâs not that heâs unhappy about the divorce, heâs just mad because I was the one who proposed the idea first.â
Keegan could not tolerate the thought of someone whom he had control over wanting to be free.
âWasnât there something important you wanted to tell me?â Stella asked.
