Mr. Kane Got Blacklisted by Eleven Jewell

Chapter 2038
"Professor Kane, you’ve achieved so much at such a young age!" "Professor Kane, you must have done exceptionally well at
school, right?"
Arthur was on a roll as he continued boasting, "Of course! Do you think it is easy to get into the scientific institute? Only the best
of the best with IQ of 140 and above will have a chance to be interviewed."
Keegan coughed as his face turned red.
Stella reached out to stroke his back. She tried to hold back her laughter as she whispered, "I didn't know you were this smart."
Keegan said, "Me neither."
The neighbors believed everything Arthur said and rallied for Keegan to showcase his calligraphy skills.
Suddenly, Arthur felt somewhat guilty.
He was simply boasting about Keegan's achievement for Stella's sake, but he had no idea how capable Keegan really was.
Keegan had no choice but to turn them down as he said gently, "Let's do it tomorrow. If you guys are interested, I can write a few
lines. It's already so late, and the lighting isn't very good here."
The crowd stopped urging him to write upon hearing that. After chatting for a while more, the neighbors began to return home
one after another.
Beatrix brought out a pot of chicken stew she made during the day and told them to reheat and eat it.

The people in Jorgeville had been neighbors for decades. They were very used to taking care of each other.
Stella took the pot, thanked Beatrix, and gave some money to her grandson. Beatrix did not let the child take it, but Keegan said,
"He caught the dog and got US out of the embarrassing situation earlier. He deserves it. ■
Beatrix stopped refusing upon hearing what he said and invited them to dinner at her home tomorrow.
Once Beatrix left, Keegan whispered to Stella, "They like you very much."
With a smile, Stella teased him, "Isn't it because they like you, Professor Kane?"
Keegan chuckled, "This is my first time boasting about my achievements like this."
Stella said in a low voice, "Don't blame Great-grandpa for it. When Mr. Moore came last time, he really knew how to do
everything and was excellent at talking. Great-grandpa would never let him be better than my husband to all of them. To him, it
just has to be done."
Stella laughed and added, "Genius, huh? Haha, he thinks very highly of you.”
Keegan was a little unconvinced. "But even if he didn't boast about me, I'm still better than Marshall in a lot of ways."
"Of course." Stella's eyes lit up as she looked at Keegan. She could not help but kiss his cheek. "Otherwise, how could I be
interested in you?"
Keegan felt both happy and somewhat upset upon hearing that. Then, he asked hesitantly, "Are you saying that if he's better
than me, you won't want to be with me?"

Stella looked at him and chuckled.
Keegan was weirded out by her stare. When he was about to ask her another question, he heard Stella saying, "Keegan, do you
know what I like
most about you right now?"
As soon as Keegan heard the word "like" from her, a smile appeared on his face. Then, he said confidently, "Everything about
me."
Stella reached out to rub his earlobe and said with a smile, "I like how love- struck you are right now. Keep it that way, and I'll
love you forever."
After saying that, she let go and went back into the house.
Keegan stood there, his mind filled with "I'll love you forever".
'I wasn't expecting her to confess her love in such a public place at all,' Keegan thought to himself.
