Mr. Kane Got Blacklisted by Eleven Jewell

Chapter 1553
Keegan had been waiting in the car for Stella. As soon as she got in, she fumed, "How dare he strut around in front of me! I may
not have caught him red-handed, but I'm not a fool!"
Keegan opened a water bottle and handed it to her. "Here. Take a sip and tell me what happened."
Stella took a few sips and cleared her throat before she said, "I know all this happened because of Chris! But, I don't have any
concrete evidence that could link him to this incident. Otherwise, I would've fired him on the spot!"
Stella had noticed the financial assistant as soon as she joined the company. She was quite attractive and about the same age
as Stella.
Stella had been busy with the new product launch recently and spent a lot of time in the store. She would run into the staff
casually gossiping whenever she went to the break room or restroom.
From those conversations, Stella learned that the financial assistant had been specially recruited and had a close relationship
with Chris. Some of them had even seen them leaving a hotel together. However, no one dared to speak up since he was in a
higher position than them.
When Stella saw the financial assistant being accused of the crime, she knew that Chris must have had something to do with it.
However, the assistant was unwaveringly loyal to Chris and willingly shouldered all the blame.
Stella was naturally upset that she was unable to catch the person who was actually behind the incident.
After listening to the story, Keegan chuckled. "He's a store manager. He only makes money if the store makes money. The fact
that he would do this is either because he has a grudge against you or some ulterior motives."
"Well, I think he should fuck off." Stella took off her high heels and put on the flats Keegan had prepared for her. "The Velvet's
revenue is fairly high. I doubt Darcie would let go of the company so easily. The worse I do, the more reason she has to take it
back. But, I won't give her the satisfaction."
When Stella returned to the Saun family, she did not expect to get anything from them. However, Darcie was cautious around
her. She was not even willing to leave a room in the house for Trevor. She appeared kind on the outside, but she had never truly
accepted Stella.

Since that was the case, Stella knew that Darcie would not hesitate to take what was rightfully hers.
Seeing her so clear-headed, Keegan chimed in and said," You shouldn't let those who oppose your management cause trouble
right under your nose. Find a reason to let them go."
Stella sighed, "You don't understand, Keegan. Chris and Darcie have some sort of relationship. Otherwise, she wouldn't have
entrusted the store to Chris so easily when
she went abroad. If I fired him for no apparent reason, Darcie would go to my dad and complain. Even if he doesn't openly
criticize me, he'll definitely compensate her. Firing him would do more harm than good. I can't do anything unless he does
something majorly wrong."
Keegan was about to speak, but Aldor, who was driving, interjected their conversation. "That's not the way to go, Madam. Isn't
this your specialty? Remember that time when you and Mr. Kane went to a banquet and, on the way back, you accidentally
knocked over your precious plant? You didn't want to spend money to buy a new one, so you pinned the blame on Mr. Kane. He
was drunk at the time and naturally couldn't remember what he had done the night before. In the end, not only did he
compensate you for the Clivia, but he also gifted you a handbag. Have you forgotten?
"You just need to find a fault for him to commit. When the time comes, just frame him, and you're good," he added.
Keegan turned to her abruptly and said, "You were the one who broke that flower pot?!"
Stella was stunned. 'What a blabbermouth!' she thought.
Keegan clenched his teeth and asked, "Was it really you?"
Stella gave a wry smile. "Uhh... It was so long ago. I don't think I remember..."
Keegan's face darkened. "That morning, you were sitting on the edge of the bed crying. You said that it was a birthday gift from
your mother on your twelfth birthday!"
Stella choked up a bit and said that she had placed the flower by the door, hoping that it was the first thing he saw when he
came in. She thought it would improve his mood since he'd been so busy with work lately. "I wouldn't have put it there if I knew
you would come home drunk."
That was when Keegan knew that Stella was the one who knocked over the flower pot and not him.
