Mr. Kane Got Blacklisted by Eleven Jewell

Chapter 1252
Before the lawsuit, Ted had only seen Stella in photos shared by their classmates in the group chat during the wedding.
Ted simply found her attractive back then and nothing more.
He did not pay much attention to her. He could not believe that someone as prestigious and unattainable as Keegan would marry
a woman with only superficial beauty. He figured that Keegan knew that too, which was why he never brought her to any class
reunions.
Ted still had the same impression of Stella before coming to this cafe.
However, he suddenly felt like he was the superficial one for judging a person solely based on their looks. He realized that Stella
was actually a very interesting person.
'Keegan probably didn't bring her out because he was over- possessive rather than being ashamed of her.'
Ted chuckled softly as he thought about that and said in a gentler tone than before, "Is there anything else you'd like to ask?"
"You mentioned that Bella's case is handled by your friend's law firm, right? From your experience, how many years is she going
to get?"
"It depends on how capable the plaintiffs lawyer is."
"How capable do you think he is?"
"He's not bad, but he lost to Mr. Moore in the last defamation case," Ted said.
Stella's eyelid twitched. "Are you the plaintiff's lawyer?"
"Yeah." Ted smile faintly.
"I'm a little surprised. Is there any chance that Bella would turn out to be innocent?"
"There's solid evidence against her, so I doubt it."
Stella thought for a moment before saying, "Try to demand monetary compensation during the trial. I heard that Andrea’s parents
are not living a very comfortable life."

"Sure, but I can't guarantee anything. It seems like Bella is already liquidating her assets. The amount she has to pay for
breaching the contract is enormous, and the properties she purchased earlier are also being sold. I will do my best to demand it,
but it may not be much."
Stella nodded. "Thank you for that."
She paused before continuing, "Has it been ten minutes yet?"
"There are thirty seconds left. Would you like me to show more kindness?"
Stella immediately waved her hands. "Bye, take care."
Ted was very efficient and sent a letter to the kindergarten the next day.
Stella's aunt, Lydia Night, was scolding the kitchen staff in the kindergarten's kitchen.
"Who threw this bag of meat away?"
She had a stern expression as she held the bag of meat taken from the trash can. She swept her gaze across everyone, "Who
threw it?"
A woman in her forties stuttered. "M-Ms. Night, the meat's color didn't look so right, so I threw it away."
Lydia opened the bag and took a piece of meat out. "What's wrong with the color? Isn't meat supposed to be this color?" she
said with a cold face.
The short-haired woman said in a low voice, "It has a strange smell..."
"What smell? I can't smell anything at all." Lydia handed that piece of meat to another kitchen helper. "Take a sniff. Is there any
strange smell?"
That person did as she said and was immediately met with a sour smell. She frowned. However, she was worried she might get
fired, so she lowered her head and said softly, "I can't smell anything."
Lydia glanced back at the woman who threw the bag of meat. ’ Did you hear that? You’re the only one who could smell it. Are
you a dog?"

The woman put on a displeased look as she clenched her fists tightly and said bravely, ’ Ms. Night, the meat is past its expiry
date, and we're not supposed to cook it even though there's no smell. We're cooking for the children, and they don't have a
strong stomach. We can never bear the responsibility if anything bad happens to them."
Lydia sneered. "You're just a kitchen helper. Are you telling me how to do things? I used to run a restaurant back then, and I
know better than all of you here whether the meat is edible or not. This kindergarten has been operating for so many years, and
I've been doing the same thing. Have you seen any child getting sick because of this? The parents have come to visit the
kitchen, and none of them made any comments. Who do you think you are to question me?"
The woman's expression turned awful. Her colleague next to her pulled her sleeve, signaling her to stop talking back.
