Mr. Kane Got Blacklisted by Eleven Jewell

Chapter 1601
Trevor let out a sigh, "Look, he probably fooled you.
"Wh-What do you mean?" Chris's wife thought her lie had been exposed, her voice trembling.
Trevor pulled out his phone and scrolled through the photo album before handing it over to her. "When Stella discovered that he
embezzled money from the company, she considered he might have his reasons, so she took the trouble to check the flow of
funds in his account. Turns out, most of his money went to this woman. He even spent two million dollars to buy her a property
that's less than a kilometer away from your place."
Chris's wife looked at the photo of the young and attractive lady and instinctively denied the allegation, "This can't be true. You're
making things up!"
Trevor remained calm, "Almost all of his friends know about this woman. If you don't believe me, you can take her photo and ask
around."
The woman was still doubtful when her daughter suddenly spoke up, "That's Cassie."
Chris's wife was taken aback, "What did you say?"
The little boy quickly covered his sister's mouth.
The woman's heart sank. She suppressed her anger and asked in a low voice, "Do you two know her?"
The boy hesitated for a moment and whispered, "Dad took us to Cassie's place to play, but he told us not to tell you."
The little girl chimed in, "Cassie's place is so much fun. Her cooking is even better than yours, Mom. And she's prettier than you,
too. Dad said he wants her to be our new mom."
The woman's face turned ashen. She staggered to her feet and started to stumble out. The two children ran after her, still
unaware of what was happening, "Mom, when is Dad coming back? I want him to take me to Cassie's place to play."
The woman's finger trembled at the sound of that. She pushed her children away as she said, "Go away! Don't follow me! Find
that woman if you want her to be your mom so bad!”
The children fell to the ground, crying. Their mother did not spare them a glance and left.

Darcie's face darkened, "Trevor, did you have to say something like that in front of the children?"
Trevor looked at her calmly, "I didn't expect the children to have met the woman."
"Chris's actions are shameless, but you should at least leave him some dignity in front of the kids! Have you thought about what
would happen to their family once his wife discovered he was cheating on her? Why would you want to break up their marriage
and push them to the point of no return?"
Trevor's eyes grew cold, 'He embezzled company property to support his mistress. Why are you condemning me when he's the
one to blame? Darcie, you’ve been in this business for so many years. Why would you succumb to doing charity work?"
Darcie seethed with anger, "I'm the founder of The Velvet. Despite it being a charitable act, it holds significance to me."
"Without the Saun family's connections, how could you have built it up in such a short time?" Trevor said as he looked at her in
disdain. "Moreover, Stella owns the store now.
Anything that goes on in there has nothing to do with you anymore."
"You-" Darcie's eyes welled up with tears, her voice trembling uncontrollably. "What do you mean by that? Are you saying I
married your father just for the reputation of the Saun family?"
Wenham asked Trevor to come and deal with Chris's family, not fan the flames with his own family.
After being silent for a while, Wenham quickly raised his voice to reprimand his son upon seeing the commotion," Stop with all
your nonsense. How dare you argue with your stepmother?"
No matter how rebellious Trevor was in the past, he always spoke with respect toward his elders. This was the first time he had
ever gone head-to-head against Darcie. His recklessness surprised Wenham. Ultimately, Wenham could only try to smooth
things by saying, "Don't mind him, Darcie.
He must've been drinking before coming home."
This light-hearted and nonchalant comment disappointed Darcie immensely.
She withdrew her hand and said hoarsely, "I know that all of you see me as an outsider. Being a stepmother is difficult enough.
What a biological mother does, I have to do a hundred times more to prove my worth. It's just something I have to endure."

Wenham stepped forward and comforted her. "We're all family, Darcie. Trevor didn't mean what he said. Please don't overthink
it."
Darcie pursed her lips and took two steps back to avoid Wenham's touch, "Would you still be this lenient if he had talked back to
Freesia like this?"
