Chapter 508
Mr. Kane Got Blacklisted
Keegan was stupefied. His face did not hide the shock and anxiousness that suddenly sprung up from the bottom of his heart. Bella was stunned as well and immediately asked, âVisit whose parents?â
âMy parents, of course,â Trevor said with a happy face. âWe have known each other for some time, so itâs about time she meets my parents.Otherwise, they might think that Iâm single and find more potential partners for me.â
Stella was startled. The way Trevor answered may have saved her face, but it felt weird coming from him. Bella could not believe her eyes. âMr. Saun, do you actually mean it when you say that you are bringing her to meet your parents?â
Trevor shot a glance at her, âIs it that astonishing?â
ââ¦A little.â Bella clenched her fingers and said in a low voice, âMs. Jewell divorced not long ago and is already meeting up with your parents now. Isnât things going a little too fast?â
âThatâs alright. Itâs not good to wait even a moment longer if you have met the right person. I originally thought I might not have a chance anymore, so I have to thank Mr. Kane who could not be any blinder to her worth.â Trevor paused and put up a smile.
âMr. Kane, I am grateful for this chance. Iâll send you a wedding invitation when we tie the knot.â
Stella just stood there with a poker face while Trevor was talking nonsense. His acting was spot on.
When he was saying âif we tie the knotâ, he even looked affectionately at her, as if he had already fallen head over heels for her. Keeganâs face, right at that moment, contorted beyond belief. With bloodshot eyes and clenched teeth, he asked Stella, âIs what he said all true?â
Stella somehow felt an indescribable panic and disappointment in his eyes when he asked that question. She discarded that thought as soon as it surfaced in her mind.
âWhy would Keegan be sad? On what ground should he be sad when all that has happened was caused by him? If that was the case, it was because Iâve hurt his reputation by having another potential mate right after our divorce and nothing else.â
âNo matter the truth, does that have anything to do with you anymore?â Stella glanced at him indifferently, not wanting to stay there a moment longer. She did not want to see both Bella and Keegan. It was even worse when they were both together.
She could not help but remember the scene of Keegan being by Bellaâs side during the funeral at Rivera. Stella, not looking at him a moment longer, turned her head toward Trevor and said, âLetâs go inside, Mr. Saun.â
Upon seeing Keeganâs breakdown, Trevor smiled and said to Stella, âWhat do you say we grab some mango pudding after the meal?â
âThatâs a good idea. Iâd like that.â
Their voices trailed further and further away, but Keegan was still standing at the same spot with his bloodshot eyes. Keegan would naturally not believe Trevorâs act.
He was more disappointed with Stella for not refuting anything he had said. Although he did not believe that Stella would be into Trevor, he did not want to helplessly see Stella meet Trevorâs parents and do nothing at all. âWhat happens if Trevor likes her, even if she doesnât reciprocate? Stella is beautiful, very good with her words, filial, and even saved Jayleneâs life before. The Saun family does not have a reason to dislike her at all.â He scowled at the sight of the two figures walking away and lifted his legs to keep up with them.
Seeing that Keegan was about to leave, Bella quickly pulled on his hand. â Mr. Kaneâ¦â
She just touched his hand but was immediately shaken off. Keegan frowned and asked impolitely, âWhat?â
Bella was shocked, retracted her finger, and whispered, âMr. Kane, would you kindly help me? There is this very thorny lawsuit of mine. The lawyer that the other party hired is competent and will be very disadvantageous for my career if I lost the lawsuit. Please help me, Mr. Kane.â
However, Keegan stared at her coldly. âOur contract has ended.â
âI know,â Bella whispered. âI have no other choice but to look for you. The lawyer the other party hired is your good friend, Mr. Moore. And, he had no previous record of losing such cases. So, Iâm really worriedâ¦â âThatâs your problem,â said Keegan indifferently.
âWould you even be afraid of people trying to sue you if your actions are just?â
