Chapter 866
Mr. Kane Got Blacklisted
Xenia tightened her grip on her phone and started feeling anxious. âWhat exactly are you trying to say?â
Stella said, âMiss Garcia, calm down. I mean no harm. However, itâs a little inconvenient for us to talk about this over the phone. Letâs meet up at the cafe on New Water Street tomorrow. It wonât be too late for you to reject me if you really are not interested in what I told you after we meet.â
Xenia looked very hesitant. Keegan was looking for his phone when he spoke soundlessly. âSay okay.â
So, she pursed her lips. âOkay then. Iâll see you tomorrow.â
She looked at Keegan after hanging up. âWhy do you want me to see her?â
He said flatly. âThat woman you spoke to is my lover.â
Xenia was speechless.
âWhy would they look for me separately, then? Canât they just work together?â
Keegan continued. âBe there on time tomorrow. Just agree with her on everything she has to say, and Iâll fulfill every condition that she offers you.â
Xenia had no reason to turn down such a fantastic offer.
Stella was at Clouditude International when she ended the call. Felicity quickly asked her, âHow did it go? Did she say yes?â
Stella nodded. âWeâre meeting tomorrow morning.â
âDo you want me to go with you?â
Stella shook her head. âItâs not something she would be proud to be talking about. Iâm worried that she wonât tell me much if there are two of us.â
Detective Karl returned with some new information and told Stella that Albert had a lover, and that lady was even younger than her. She initially wanted to disgust Hylda with what she found out by stirring things up between her and Albert.
However, after knowing what was happening to Xenia and seeing her picture, she gave up that idea. She figured that using such a useful pawn just to upset Hylda would be a big waste.
Not only that Stella wanted to stir things up between them, but she also wanted to take the worst revenge on them and bring them to justice with hard evidence.
The next morning, Stella arrived at the cafe very early to wait for Xenia.
At nine oâclock sharp, a young lady dressed in a white tee and light blue jeans appeared in the shop. Stella lifted her hand and said, âMiss Garcia, Iâm here.â
Xenia turned around and saw a curly-haired lady with a mask on calling her.
She went forward and asked, âMiss Jewell?â
Stella nodded. âHave a seat. Do you want a drink?â
âI donât drink coffee.â Xenia pulled the chair and cut to the chase. âWhat is it that you want to talk to me about?â
Stella did not beat around the bush too. She took a photo out of her bag and pushed it toward Xenia. âTake a look at this.â
Xenia gazed downward. It was a photo of a girl leaning against a bicycle while holding a book. She had two ponytails, and her eyes were very bright.
However, Xenia thought that the girl looked very familiar. âShe looks like me.â
Stella said calmly. âThis is my mom, Albertâs ex-wife.â
Xenia paused. Stella continued, âYou knew Albert during campus recruitment, right?â
Xenia recollected herself. âHow did you know?â
Stella smirked. âBecause thatâs how his current wife got everything she has now too.â
Xenia felt very uncomfortable as she said in a low voice. âI never wanted to get anything from him.â
âIâm sorry,â Stella said gently, âI didnât mean it like that. I was just saying that Albert wouldnât stop using the same trick.â âTrick?â Xenia was confused.
