Chapter 326
Mr. Kane Got Blacklisted
âIf worst comes to worst, Iâll go to Mr. Snyder and Mr. Moore. Iâll even give them 20% more interest, which is better than being leeched by a bloodsucker like you!â
Keegan paused and narrowed his eyes dangerously. âYou wouldnât dare!â
âWatch me!â As Stella said that, she pretended to dial Vermont or Marshallâs number. Keegan rushed over to snatch her phone with a gloomy look on his face.
During their little dispute, Stellaâs leg bumped against the edge of the bed. She staggered and subconsciously grabbed onto Keeganâs collar. Soon, Keegan could no longer hold his balance, and they both fell onto the bed.
Dahlia was helping Cordelia back to her room when they saw the two on the bed. Stella was lying on the bed blushing, while Keegan was on top of her. His eyes were red. Before Cordelia could say something, Dahlia spoke up. âWhat are you two doing?â
Surprised, Stella quickly pushed Keegan away, straightened her clothes, and stood up. âHey, grandma.
Hi, mom,â she said in embarrassment. On the other hand, Keegan did not look bothered. He stood up slowly, stretched out his hand to straighten his bow tie, and said nothing.
Having been robbed of organizing the birthday banquet, Dahlia held back her resentment. But, now that she saw Stella fooling around with Keegan at that moment, she was furious.
âStella, youâve married into the family for several years now, yet you still show no discipline. Do you know whose room this is? Why in the world are you fooling around in here? What would other people say if they knew about this? Is this how your parents taught you?â
Stella pursed her lips with an ugly look on her face. Meanwhile, Keegan frowned. âHow would anybody know about this if you just kept your mouth shut?â
Dahliaâs face darkened. âWhat do you mean by that, Keegan? Huh? Can I no longer say anything about her now?â
Before Keegan could speak, the old lady said, âKeegan is right. We are the only ones here. How would other people find out?â After she had finished speaking, she then said to the couple, Next time, if you two want to fool around, Keeganâs room is next door, okay?â
Keegan and Stella were speechless. Not only was the old lady not mad at them, but she sounded rather excited.
Just as the two of them wanted to look into it even more, Cordelia withdrew her expression and calmly said, âStella, it takes a lot to organize the birthday banquet. Youâre going to have to go through a lot of trouble for me.â
Keegan lowered his eyes and said, âSheâll be fine, grandma.â
âOkay. You two can go.â
The two then excused themselves. They walked past Dahlia on the way out, and she Stella a gloomy and resentful glare.
â
gave ×× guess this peaceful act between mother and daughter-in-law is almost over,â Stella sighed. Keegan had to meet a client that night, so he and Stella left Cordeliaâs place early. Not long after Keegan had left, Chandler and his family also left. Aurora waited for nearly an hour before Dahlia came down the stairs.
When the two of them got into the car, Aurora said, âMom, is grandma really so senile that she entrusted that woman to organize her birthday banquet? Does she know how much it costs to hold that event? I canât believe she let an outsider do it! Grandmaâs crazy.
âItâs better for her to do it than Cyrene,â Dahlia said with a gloomy face after some time.
âWhy? Even though you and Aunt Cyrene arenât close, Uncle Chandler treats me very well. Their family is part of the Kane family, unlike Stella.â
Dahlia paused, and with a stern look on her face, she said, âHow many times have I told you to stay away from your Uncle Chandler? Why donât you ever listen?â
