Mr. Kane Got Blacklisted by Eleven Jewell

Chapter 1865
Aldor spoke in a firm tone, laced with a hint of sarcasm, not too loud but clear enough.
Aurora was taken aback. She had always seen Aldor as someone who rarely lost his cool.
He had always been the epitome of politeness at work, even when Aurora, in a fit of anger, had once scornfully called him the
Kane family's lapdog. Aldor never snapped back.
She had little regard for people like Aldor, who, in her eyes, would bend over backward to please their superiors.
Not long ago, when she was relegated to a lower-tier department, her confrontations with Aldor, both overt and covert, had been
frequent. Keegan, their boss, had tasked Aldor with supervising her.
Aldor always seemed to assign her more challenging tasks than others. Whenever she submitted a report, he would scrutinize
her work far more than anyone else’s. His criticisms were sharp. "How is this data analysis? Where's your month-to-month, year-
to-year comparison?"
"The title is catchy, but the content? It's incomprehensible."
"Did your university guarantee a pass to all its students? I can't fathom how else you came up with such a report."
"Don't include my name as your auditor. I refuse to be associated with this."
Aurora, despite her privileged upbringing, had always been a decent student. Her grades were consistently above average, a
fact she took pride in.
Her peers, who barely scraped through their courses, eventually returned to their affluent lives, inheriting family businesses.
Aurora, having never failed a subject and maintaining a respectable GPA, considered herself an excellent student.
But to Aldor, her academic achievements meant little.
Her initial days working with Aldor were filled with resentment.
She had chosen to start from the bottom, as per Cordelia's advice - endure all hardships, but never quit. Quitting meant she
could never work at Vinci Rivera again.

Despite being on Aldor’s radar, she never complained to Cordelia.
After being released from confinement, nightmares had haunted her - memories of being bullied. She resented Stella and
Keegan deeply.
Yet, these feelings paled in comparison to the hurt caused by her friends' mocking and sarcastic remarks.
"Aurora is so naive. If I were her, I'd have befriended Stella long ago. It's clear Keegan is still smitten with Stella. Win over Stella,
and Keegan would shower her with even more wealth."
"She's the most foolish person I know. Always antagonizing
Stella, hoping for their divorce. And now? She never imagined that one impulsive act would lead to Keegan having her locked
up."
"She's lucky to be born into such a family. Despite her foolishness, we have to maintain a facade of respect."
Her friends' laughter echoed in her ears, one adding, "She might lack brains, but she's stunning. If Keegan wasn't so protective,
I'd have pursued her myself. She truly believes she's a princess, all because of how we treat her. Without her brother's influence,
she'd be nothing."
"That's enough. Let's not upset our princess. After all, she sees you as her hero."
