Mr. Kane Got Blacklisted by Eleven Jewell

Chapter 1552
The change in Stella's revenge tactics was all thanks to Keegan. He acted as her legal expert and educated her daily.
Stella used to think that Keegan had a bad temper, but he was actually just stubborn. Deep down, he was a kind- hearted
person. As for Stella, she held onto grudges, and she wanted to settle every score. This demonstrated the importance of having
a partner with stable emotions and aligned values.
Of course, there was so much more about Keegan that Stella had learned from. For instance, she imitated his calm and
authoritative demeanor to assert dominance.
Chris was clearly intimidated by her. His face turned green, as he bit his lips. "You're right, Ms. Hall. I'm sorry for being too soft-
hearted."
Darcie watched Stella and the others leave in the police car. She thought about the situation and turned to Wenham." Honey,
Aubrey called and said something came up at the company. I have to attend to it."
Wenham nodded. "I'll have the driver take you."
"It's okay. I can take a cab."
Wenham did not insist and reminded her, "Be careful on the road."
Trevor saw Darcie leaving and sent a message to Xavier. [ Keep an eye on Darcie. See where she's heading.]
The police inspected the store and found the same surveillance footage Stella had seen earlier. They could not identify who had
entered the office or rifled through Maggie's files. The other cameras captured several people going upstairs during that time.
However, it coincided with lunch break, and everyone had an alibi.
However, the police were not easily fooled. After crossreferencing some information, they questioned each person separately
and discovered that one individual was lying. It was the company's financial assistant.
She claimed to have picked up her lunch despite having someone from the office to help her. She quickly confessed to taking
photos of Maggie's design drafts when presented with multiple pieces of evidence.
She insisted that she only did it as a favor for Barbara and did not know what she was photographing. She also claimed
ignorance about its extensive impact on the company, expressing deep remorse.

She admitted to it too easily. It was almost as if she had been prepared in advance. There was no concrete evidence to directly
link her to the act.
'If I was guilty, I would have vehemently denied it. Yet, she chose to confess,' Stella thought but said nothing.
After the financial assistant was taken away, Chris sighed," She was usually so quiet. How could she do something like this?"
Stella glanced at him and said, "Chris, have the surveillance cameras in the common areas reinstalled. If there's another incident
and the suspect isn't caught on camera, I will hold you responsible."
"It was indeed my negligence," Chris quickly responded.
Stella did not want to waste her time talking to him. She gave Maggie some instructions and left The Velvet.
