Mr. Kane Got Blacklisted by Eleven Jewell

Chapter 179
“I... don’t think I’m going. Keegan hasn’t recovered yet, and I have to stay here to take care of him.”
Stella spoke in a hesitant manner. Clearly, she was still very tempted to go.
Vermont responded, “He’s not a kid that needs you to hug and tuck him in. Just leave him at home. I’ll bring you there.”
The edge of Keegan’s eyebrow twitched. Suddenly, he felt like stuffing something into Vermont’s mouth to shut him up.
“Oh... Maybe... I should go then?”
She asked Keegan tentatively.
Keegan gazed at her. “Do whatever you want. Why are you looking at me?”
“Oh.” And so, Stella began to ask more questions about the exhibition. “What time does it start?”
“Probably seven to eight at night. We’ll only be able to witness the beauty of the Luminous Pearl when it’s dark. Just get ready by
then, and I’ll come to pick you up.”
Vermont went offline after saying that.
The study room suddenly went quiet. Stella had yet to get what she came here for, so she did not leave.
Keegan was starting to find her presence annoying.
He glared at her and said, “Can I help you?”
“Nope. Just do whatever you were doing. I’ll stay here. Let me know if you need any help.”
Keegan responded coldly, “You’re distracting me here.”
Stella’s mouth twitched. Then, she said softly while resisting the urge to scold Keegan, “The doctor said that you shouldn’t
overwork yourself while recovering. Mr. Kane, you’ve been staying here for hours. Let me massage your shoulders for you.”
Keegan looked at her strangely. “Is something wrong with you?”

Keegan’s words instantly tear down Stella’s disguise as a virtuous wife. “Keegan, you’d better know your place. I’m only trying to
make up for what happened because I feel bad that you’re injured. I’ll just leave if you don’t want me here!”
Keegan looked at her from head to toe and said bluntly, “What about last night? Were you trying to compensate me by devoting
yourself to me?”
Stella choked as her ears turned red. She was embarrassed and mad at the same time. She wanted to turn around and leave,
but Keegan grabbed her wrist. Then, he said with a straight face, “Didn’t you say that you were going to massage my
shoulders?”
‘Piss off!’
All Stella wanted to do was to fill his mouth with that glass of milk and shut him up!
She could only calin herself down after imagining herself doing that to him.
Dahlia gave her a good scolding when she made Keegan’s nose bleed before, and Dahlia would probably skin her alive if she
found out that Keegan was hurt because of her again.
Besides, Stella did not come into the study room to argue with him.
So, after hesitating for a few seconds, she went behind Keegan and started massaging his shoulders.
Even though Stella was skinny, she had enormous strength for her size.
Her muscles would get sore from all the training in university back then, so she and her classmates had to always massage each
other to ease the soreness.
Keegan’s eyes were half-closed. Clearly, he was enjoying it.
When the timing seemed right, Stella asked softly, “Mr. Kane, do you know who Ibelia Zeckary is?”
Keegan frowned. “Who?”
“A very famous actress. She was a forensic doctor in the police drama that aired this year. We watched it together, right?”

Keegan looked down and thought for a moment. He only remembered that the male lead died in the show, and Stella could not
stop crying while lying on the sofa. Then, she woke up with a pair of swollen eyes. He could not recall anything else about the
plot.
“What about it?”
Stella responded softly, “That actress got canceled by the entire internet.”
