Chapter 298
Mr. Kane Got Blacklisted
Coincidentally, a few bosses came to chat with Keegan. So, Stella went to the pool to find Arthur.
The old man did not stop having fun. After he had won some money in the casino, he then went to the swimming pool to have a breath-holding contest with a bunch of young people. When Stella got there, Arthur had already won one round. He was flicking his finger on a young manâs head who had just lost the contest to him.
Stella was speechless.
She incredulously asked Aldor, who had been sticking around with Arthur, âHow long did he hold his breath for?â
âOver thirty seconds.â
Stella was confused.
âHe won the contest just by holding his breath for over thirty seconds?â Stella then thought,â These male office workers are so weak.â
Aldor coughed softly and said, âMr. Jewell introduced himself as the great-grandfather of Mr. Kane before the contest.â
Stella was left speechless again.
âSo, he didnât win the contest. He made others throw the game by using Keeganâs name.â
Stella laughed. âHe didnât feel that he won the contest dishonorably at all. He looks pretty happy.
âHeâs really a child at heart. The older he gets, the more childlike he gets.â
Arthur had been having fun the moment he got on the ship. After a while, he finally got tired after playing with those young people.
Stella told him that she would accompany him back to his room and rest. Arthur was a little reluctant to leave as he said, âBut, thereâs a buffet dinner.â
âHeâs still thinking about eating at this point,â Stella thought.
Stella said, âIâll tell them to leave some food for you.â
âWill they listen to you?â
âTheyâll listen to Keegan.â
It seemed like Arthur finally realized one good thing in his great-grandson-in-law. He reluctantly said, âHeâs somewhat useful.â
Stella thought to herself, âI think I mightâve inherited my heartlessness trait from my great- grandpa. He benefited from Keegan, but he took it for granted.â
Arthur was really tired. He excitedly woke up very early in the morning after he heard that he was going on the cruise ship yesterday.
Stella covered Arthur with a quilt. He fell asleep very quickly after he asked Stella if they had chicken mushroom stew and whether did they use free-range chicken to make the stew.
When she walked out of the cabin, the fireworks were already set off.
She had not watched fireworks so closely for many years in the city. Stella unavoidably stayed there a little longer.
She even took her phone out to take a video and sent it to Felicity. She then sent a message: [ The everyday life of a rich wife.]
Felicity replied to her with a thumbs-up emoticon and a text. [Youâre just showing off wealth. How shameful!]
Stella laughed for quite a while. (Iâll bring you here to have fun after the filming is done.]
your While she was waiting for Felicityâs reply, Bellaâs voice could be heard from behind. âStella, youâre really proud, arenât you?â
Stella turned her head and glanced at her. âProud of what? Of playing the piano better than you? Ms.
Young, did you come to me to seek attention because you couldnât afford to lose?â
Bella was unhappy abruptly. âYouâre really shameless. Did you think that Keegan didnât want to divorce you because he likes you?â
Stella seemed like she had heard something amusing. She smiled as she said, âWhy? Youâve been pregnant for many months, yet Keegan is still unwilling to marry you. So, did you get so impatient that you came here to snap at me?
âYou want us to get a divorce. But, I simply wonât do that. Itâs just a child. And, I still have to suffer after you give birth to it. When the time comes, Keegan will take the baby back and have me raise the baby.
Heâll probably praise me for being gracious. Heâll feel very grateful to have me. But, whether I will raise the baby as if the baby is a dog or a cat, itâll depend on my mood.â Bella was so angry that the corners of her mouth twitched. âAre you insane?â
Stella did not bother to talk to her. She then turned around and wanted to walk away.
Bella realized that her plan had failed. She then violently grabbed Stellaâs wrist. âStella, donât. talk like you donât care. Why donât we make a bet? Letâs see who Keegan would save if both of us fell into the water.â
She pulled Stellaâs wrist and tried to jump into the water as she said that.
