Mr. Kane Got Blacklisted by Eleven Jewell

Chapter 185
“Does this bracelet look nice, dad?” The familiar female voice made Stella’s lips tighten in an instant.
Then, a male voice that she had heard since her childhood sounded. “It looks great, honey. Buy it.”
“It’s more than one million dollars...” The girl hesitated, “It’s too expensive. Let’s forget about it. You need money for your project.
It’s better that I don’t add to the burden.”
As soon as the girl said that, someone who was beside the man said, “Wow, Mr. Jewell, your daughter is so sensible. She thinks
of you when she’s making choices.”
Albert smiled warmly and said, “This child has suffered a lot since her childhood, so she is more sensible and loving than
ordinary children.”
“Just buy it for her if she really likes it. It’s not that expensive. Girls like her need to be taken care of. It’s good that she’s been
through a lot because she won’t be so easily deceived by bad men in the future,” the man joked.
Albert smiled. Just as he was about to speak, Stella’s cold voice came from beside him, “Are you going to buy it, dad?” Albert
froze, only to realize that the person with her back turned to them was actually Stella.
Stella turned around with a smile on her lips, but her eyes were empty.
“Stella, why are you here?” Sophie asked surprisingly. Stella did not look at her, and Sophie bit her lip with an aggrieved
expression.
Albert still remembered the coldness in her eyes the day he slapped her in the hospital. He did not expect Stella to show up at
the event that night. He would not have been able to control his expression if Hylda had not given him a pinch in the arm.
“Stella, your dad said you were taking care of Keegan at home. We would have picked you up if we knew you were coming,”
Hylda said enthusiastically.
Stella’s gaze fell on Hylda. The woman was most likely in her forties. She was not particularly beautiful, but her eyes were very
attractive. She also had a good figure, and because she dressed young, she looked like she was still in her thirties.
She hooked onto Albert’s arms and spoke as if she was the lady of the house. ‘She’s the woman I met with dad in the
underground parking lot of the shopping mall.

“Wait, I think she is dad’s secretary. She came over to our place to deliver some documents before. It was the year of mom’s
incident. I wasn’t feeling well that day and asked for sick leave. When I came back, I bumped into this woman. At that time, dad
was sending her out, saying that she was a secretary and had come to deliver some documents.”
Hylda had left an impression on Stella because of her eyes, which made people feel
uncomfortable.
The woman noticed Stella’s gaze and let go of her hand naturally. “I’m temporarily acting as Mr. Jewell’s female companion,” she
explained with a smile.
Stella did not bother to care about the nonsense between the woman and her father. ‘As long
as he didn’t bring anyone into the house, he could do whatever he wanted,’ she thought. However, Stella did not like how the
woman spoke. The woman acted like she was above her. “Why are you interrupting my conversation with my dad?” she said
coldly.
Hylda was stunned.
“How could you talk to your elders like that?” Albert immediately jumped out and said.
“My elders? She’s just a secretary. If you needed a female companion, you could have told me. I know many divorced and
widowed wives. I’m sure they’ll be happy to help. Isn’t it embarrassing that you brought your secretary?”
Sophie frowned. “You’re being rude, Stella. Ms. White has been a great help in dad’s work for the past years. It’s fine if you don’t
want to thank her, but how could you say something like that?”
Stella chuckled and looked at Albert. “After my mother’s accident, I was afraid that you wouldn’t be able to run the company by
yourself. But then, everything turned out fine. I didn’t know that it was because Ms. White was your pillar of support. I’m sorry.”
Hylda’s face was pale at first, but now it turned green.
