Mr. Kane Got Blacklisted by Eleven Jewell

Chapter 156
When Stella came to, she was already in the hospital.
Meanwhile, Felicity had dozed off in front of her
Just as Stella was about to move, she noticed an IV needle in her arm. There was an IV drip above her head, slowly dripping the
contents downward and flowing into her body
“Felicity...”
When Stella opened her mouth, she realized her throat was dry and in pain. She could not help but cough a few times.
The sounds of her cough startled Felicity, and she immediately woke up
“You’re finally awake, Stella’ You scared me to death What happened to you? Why’d you suddenly faint?” she asked in a panic
Clearly, Felicity still did not know about last night’s events. However, Stella could not explain things right now She quickly asked,
“Where’s Keegan?”
“I didn’t see Keegan Last night, a man named ‘Snyder’ called me. He told me to hurry to the hospital because you had fainted”
‘Vermont made the call? What about Keegan” thought Stella.
She closed her eyes. She had a splitting headache
‘I vaguely remember seeing Keegan before I fainted. But that’s all I remember. He was there, so what happened to him?’ she
thought again.
“Where’s my phone, Felicity?”
“Right here.”
Felicity handed her the phone, “The screen’s cracked. I didn’t try switching it on, so I don’t know if it still works.”
Stella looked at her phone. Sure enough, there were multiple cracks on the screen.
‘It probably happened when I was fighting off those attackers last night,’ she thought.

Stella pressed the phone’s power button. Thankfully, everything was fine other than the cracked screen.
The moment she switched on her phone, a text message popped up. It was a text Daniel had sent her last night, telling her to go
to his studio at nine in the morning for the tryout.
Stella pursed her lips and checked WhatsApp. All of her unread messages were from group chats, and none of them were from
Keegan.
Stella clenched her fist. She felt disappointment slowly creep in, making her feel weak.
Her finger hovered over Keegan’s number for a long time before she finally exited the call application. Then, she lifted her head
and said to Felicity, “Did you drive here?”
Felicity nodded
“I need you to take me somewhere.”
Felicity was shocked. “Now?”
“Mhm.”
On the way to the studio, Felicity learned that Stella was going for a tryout Daniel had invited her to. At first, Felicity was ecstatic,
but she turned a little disappointed when she heard that it was a minor role.
“When they see a face like yours play a minor role, even the audience will wonder if the director is blind.’
Stella smiled. “I’m happy to play even a minor role as long as I can act. After taking my first step, only then can I take my second,
then my third...”
“Your attitude has become really positive. Two years ago, I advised you to act, but you always had so many worries. You thought
you were incapable. You were worried that you couldn’t speak in front of the camera, worried that the Kane family would
disagree, and even had a fight with Keegan because of this. You worried that you couldn’t do your best and would end up
embarrassed. So I told you to be a full-time wife. But then, you said you were worried that you’d be detached from society for too
long and couldn’t catch up to Keegan. Then, your distance from him would grow farther and farther. After hearing you now, are
you not worried about these things anymore?”
Stella lowered her gaze.

“What’s the use of worrying? Nothing will change because of my worries, and my worrying won’t make me better. Instead, it’ll
make me sink deeper into that bizarre circle. Every time people tell me that I’ve married well in that tone of theirs, I actually feel
agitated. I know that most times, they’re just making conversation, and these people just think I’m lucky for marrying into the
Kane family. However, things like luck don’t last a lifetime. One day, if I fall from the top, even more people will see me make a
fool of myself. Right now, I’m working hard to grab onto things I can hold onto, so I can climb upward. I just don’t want to
embarrass myself too much when I make my exit. I also want him to understand that I’m willing to let him take care of me, not
because I can only rely on him.”
