Mr. Kane Got Blacklisted by Eleven Jewell

Chapter 171
At any rate, the housemaid had worked for the Kane family for many years. Hence, the words Keegan spoke were quite
insensitive. Stella originally wanted to tell him to forget about it since she had taken the slap already. There was no meaning in
pursuing this further.
Before she could speak, she heard the housemaid stutter out, “It was... It was the missus... The missus threw away the item and
did not let me...”
“Who are you talking to?” Before the housemaid could finish, Dahlia’s voice came from the phone. Then, Dahlia took the phone.
“It’s Mr. Kane. He’s asking about the white truffles incident...”
There was no sound on the other side. After a few seconds, Dahlia took over the phone. “It’s just two boxes of white truffles. Do
you need to call back home to interrogate people?”
Keegan pursed his lips. “I just want to figure out this thing.”
Dahlia was infuriated. “What will you do after you figure it out? Call the cops to arrest us? She doesn’t have any other talent, but
her talent for snitching is the best! Forget about not seeing the item. Even if I did, I would not accept it! If you have time, control
your wife properly. She’s married to the Kane family. Stop siding with outsiders all the time!”
After she finished, she hung up the phone. Keegan held onto the phone and did not make a sound for a long while.
Stella let a sigh. ‘As long as it wasn’t him.”
She said softly, “Never mind, I originally didn’t want to send them. It’s given me peace of mind now.”
Keegan’s throat rumbled. After a while, he asked quietly, “Did it hurt?”
Stella was shocked for a moment until she saw him staring at her left cheek. Then, she understood what he was asking. In that
instant, all the grievances welled up in her heart. Her eyes immediately turned red. She feared she would look shameful crying,
so she averted her gaze. She suppressed the pain down her throat and tried to speak nonchalantly. “He’s my dad. How hard
could he hit?”
In actual fact, it hurt badly. Albert had put almost all his strength into that slap. Stella’s face was slightly swollen, but she did not
want to talk to Keegan about it. She feared the response would be disappointing and that a simple sentence from him would

crumble her defenses.
After sending them back to the villa, Aldor left. The housemaid from their home came out and wanted to help Keegan. However,
Keegan avoided her hands and said, “Go and prepare a tub of water. I want to have a shower.”
Stella said, “The doctor said that your injury should not come in contact with moisture.”
Keegan paused. “You can help me shower later.”
Stella was at a loss for words.
“That’s not a good idea,” Stella replied.
Keegan glanced at her. “It’s not like we haven’t showered together before. What’s so bad about
it?”
Stella remembered the outrageous acts in the bathroom, and her ears could not help but turn red. “It’s different now compared to
before this!”
“Nothing’s different. That 20 million should make a sound when we throw it into the water. I’m injured because of you, so you
should take some responsibility, right?”
This time, Stella had nothing to say. This was due to Keegan’s words precisely pinpointing the guilt she had in her heart.
‘It’s just a shower,’ Stella comforted herself. ‘It’s not like we’ll be doing something else. Keegan and I have seen each other
naked so many times. What’s there to be nervous about?’
‘I’m already fed up with his physique. Giving him a shower would be no different from giving a cat and dog a shower,’ Stella
thought.
Twenty minutes later, Stella was facing Keegan’s thick and muscular back, and she was so nervous her fingers shook.
‘Fed up, my ass! How is this the same as kittens and puppies? Who would be stunned when kittens and puppies are showering?’
Stella screamed inside her head.

Both of Keegan’s hands were on both sides of the bathtub. Water droplets glided down his face to his Adam’s apple, then came
winding down to the water’s surface.
Nonchalantly, he turned around to look at her. His gaze was deep and innocent. “You’re not taking your clothes off?”
Stella was cautious. “What do you want to do?”
Keegan looked at her as if looking at an idiot. “When your clothes get wet, it’ll be harder to get them off. You should change into
something thinner.”
“No need. Wearing this is much safer,” Stella replied.
Keegan was at a loss for words.
