Mr. Kane Got Blacklisted by Eleven Jewell

Chapter 1313
Keegan lightly traced his fingers across Stella's palm. She looked at him and saw his nonchalant face. Then, he gently pinched
her fingers.
Stella lowered her gaze and smiled.
Trevor patted Jaylene lightly. "We've been here for a while. The journey was long, so I took everyone upstairs to rest before
coming down."
Jaylene looked at them and said politely, "Mr. Snyder, Ms. Thompson, thank you for attending my birthday celebration today."
She noticeably paused when her gaze fell on Keegan. Then, she continued softly, "Keegan, thank you for coming."
Keegan could clearly sense a piercing gaze from his girlfriend on him as soon as Jaylene thanked him.
He could not figure out why Jaylene had to thank him separately. Then, he replied flatly, "Don't mention it. I didn't bring any
expensive gift today anyway."
He felt the need to clarify things before his girlfriend misunderstood anything. So, he purposely emphasized the word
"expensive."
Jaylene smiled. "It's the thought that counts."
Keegan was speechless.
Jaylene finally shifted her gaze to Stella after talking to Keegan. Her smile faded a little as she greeted Stella politely, "Ms.
Jewell, long time no see."
Trevor frowned. "Jaylene, just call Stella by her first name from now. Her last name will be changed back."
Trevor despised the last name "Jewell." He would even feel better about it if Stella's last name was "Kane."
Jaylene quickly apologized, "I'm sorry. I just thought I'd cause trouble by addressing you wrongly before the news is publicly
announced."
Stella looked at her briefly and said flatly, "Don't worry about it. It's just a form of address. Call me whatever you like, Ms. Saun."

Felicity murmured softly, "What a hypocrite!"
Although she was not loud, they stood close to each other. Jaylene could hear what she said.
Her gaze darkened as she asked, "Ms. Thompson, what did you say?"
Felicity kept quiet as she said to herself. Bitch, are you looking for problems? Are you sure you didn't hear what I said?'
Felicity was about to speak her thoughts out loud, but Vermont interrupted her.
"She said how great! This place has a history of over four hundred years. She's just impressed."
Then, he wrapped his arm around Felicity's waist, "Baby, you're overreacting. I'll bring you to a fifteen-hundred-year- old hot
spring next time. It's more impressive than this."
Everybody kept quiet. They were all amazed by how quickwitted he was.
Vermont brushed what Felicity said aside, and Jaylene led them into the crowd.
Felicity slapped Vermont's hand that was wrapped around her waist and said, "You shouldn't have stopped me! I wanted to give
her a piece of my mind!
"Did you hear what she said? Ms. Jewell? Everyone in her family knows about Stella's real identity and that she's just a
counterfeit heiress of the Saun family. She's outrageous!"
Of course, Vermont knew what Jaylene was trying to do by addressing Stella as "Ms. Jewell' too. However, he said to Felicity,
"We can deal with this later. It's her birthday today. How can we cause a scene here? Besides, Stella has not officially returned to
the Saun family yet. Other people will probably blame Stella if you were to start a commotion now. How would you defend Stella
if they call her petty and ill- mannered?"
Felicity thought about what Vermont said and thought that he made sense too. However, she was still very angry. "I told you she
was a hypocrite, but you just wouldn't believe me!"
Vermont consoled her, "I do now. You're the all-knowing one, and I believe in everything you say. However, we've got to keep
ourselves composed on occasions like these.
Otherwise, you're just going to embarrass your best friend."
