Mr. Kane Got Blacklisted by Eleven Jewell

Chapter 1189
The person on the other end of the phone said something before Hylda replied worriedly, ‘ Did they suspect anything."
"No, they didn't.’
Hylda pinched her brows and said softly, "Thank you for your help. I can finally be at ease after this is done."
The door of the dressing room was forcefully pushed open as she spoke. Hylda was startled as she hurriedly hung up the phone.
Turning around, she saw Sophia and was immediately relieved. Then, she scolded, ’Don't you know how to knock? You're the
heiress of the Jewell family now. Behave yourself, and don't make people think that you're uncultured and embarrass yourself."
Sophia's face was angry when she said in a hateful tone, "That bitch Stella is here!"
Hylda paused and frowned. "Why is that?"
"My dad invited her. You should see how he talked to her just now. He treated her as if she was his own daughter. Why would he
want her here on such an auspicious day? I hate her!"
However, Hylda immediately put her guard up. She said in a deep voice," Who did she come with?"
"She's alone, I guess." Sophia thought for a moment before answering.
Indeed, Stella did arrive alone earlier. "I can't believe that she's still acting and dressing like a rich person after everything that
had happened."
Sophia's stupidity was driving Hylda mad. "Who asked you about that? I was asking if Keegan was with her." Hylda spoke with a
frown.
Sophia pouted. "Keegan did come, but not with her."
Hylda was doubtful. "Are you sure?'
"Of course. Mom, you haven't seen the look on Stella's face. She doesn't even give Keegan a proper look. However, I have no
idea what spell she cast on Keegan. He just couldn't take his eyes off her."
Hylda thought about the strange things Albert did back then and suddenly understood what was happening.

She figured Albert probably believed there was a chance for Stella and Keegan to reconcile, so he wanted to use this opportunity
to win Stella over. In that way, he could leverage the Kane family's name to gain more business opportunities, just like he did in
the past.
'What a fool! Does he really think Stella would be satisfied with the small benefits he offered her? She insisted on suing him in
court even though she had nothing left after the divorce. Can't he tell how much she hates him?' Hylda thought to herself.
Although there was no evidence to prove that the supernatural incidents in the house were fake, as an atheist herself, Hylda
firmly believed that it must have something to do with Stella. She just had not found anything to prove it yet.
Stella had already become suspicious about the car accident that happened in the past, and Hylda couldn't understand why
Albert would be so foolish to keep such a huge threat so close to him.
She could not help but wonder if Albert thought money was more important than his life.
They had already earned enough money to sustain them for several lifetimes, yet Hylda just could not figure out why Albert was
so insatiable.
"I know Stella is cunning. I'm sure she did something to make Mr. Kane so obsessed with her. She's probably faking a
pregnancy!"
Hylda was irritated by what Sophia said as she replied with a stern face," She can't get pregnant anyway. That's not possible."
Sophia paused. "Mom, what did you say?"
Hylda pursed her lips. "I was just saying that she would've done this long ago if that's really the case. Keegan is not stupid."
Then, she shifted the topic, "Where's your father? Tell him to come inside. I have something to ask him."

After a while, Vermont came back with the steaks.
Felicity followed behind him as she muttered under her breath, "There are so many people running a multi-channel company, yet
why do you have to work with someone like him? Not only that he looks sleazy, but he's also Sophia's boyfriend. You could
partner with anyone else with the money you have. Why did you choose them?"
