Mr. Kane Got Blacklisted by Eleven Jewell

Chapter 2062
Julia's face drained of color as she nervously fiddled her fingers. She bowed her head and was too scared to speak.
She said what she said only after seeing Jaylene's expression and receiving her silent signal. 'If Jaylene was against the idea,
why didn't she stop me during the event?' she thought.
Stella's gifts outshone Jaylene's, and her speech was also better. Jaylene felt publicly humiliated. Frustrated, she needed an
outlet for her anger, and Julia became the scapegoat.
Once Jaylene's temper subsided, Julia tentatively said, ' Ms. Saun, perhaps this incident isn't entirely negative. It helps US see
who we can rely on in the future."
Jaylene calmed down upon hearing that. She noticed Stella had not finished distributing her gifts and that most of the staff
seemed hesitant to take sides. Caline was not The Velvet, and winning people over would not be easy for Stella, let alone with
such simple tactics.
Although Jaylene understood this, being publicly embarrassed without retaliation was something she could not stomach.
"Ms. Saun, I have an idea. We can set an example to show everyone who's in charge and what's off-limits," Julia said in a low
tone.
Jaylene considered this. "How do you propose we do that?"
"Through that girl from the finance department, Wren Adkin. That department is loyal to Mrs. Saun. If Wren accepts gifts from
Stella, reprimanding her would send a clear message."

Jaylene hesitated. "My mom won't agree to me firing someone so suddenly."
While Wren was not an important figure in the finance department, being recruited by Darcie implied she possessed some
competence.
Darcie would not dismiss someone over such a trivial matter.
Julia wanted to continue, but Jaylene waved her off. "You can leave now," she said in an icy tone.
Julia picked up the scattered items and silently exited the office.
In the hallway, she encountered Elana.
Julia's eyes welled up. "Elana."
Elana signaled for her to keep quiet and motioned toward the stairwell.
Once they were alone, Julia expressed her frustrations to Elana, explaining how Jaylene had hinted her into speaking up yet
blamed her for how things turned out.
Elana, who had worked closely with Darcie for years, understood Jaylene's personality well. Compared to Darcie's
assertiveness, Jaylene was fragile and would crumble under pressure.
One positive aspect was her complete deference to Darcie. Under Darcie's watchful eye, Jaylene ensured she did not stir up any
major trouble.
However, she would occasionally display some spoiled behavior.

"Being Mrs. Saun's favorite, she's never faced any real adversity. Today, she lost face, and that must sting. Cut her some slack.
Eventually, Caline will fall under Jaylene's leadership, otherwise, I wouldn't have suggested Mrs. Saun to have you work with
her."
Julia forced a smile, grasping Elana's intentions. However, she found Jaylene lacking as she was not cunning and was too timid.
■Jaylene lets Stella step all over her. She only dares vent her anger on those beneath her. How will people respect her if she
doesn't toughen up?'
thought Julia.
Elana then said, "Mrs. Saun will be back soon. Keep an eye on Jaylene for now. Make sure she doesn't provoke Stella, stay low-
key until Mrs. Saun returns."
Julia nodded, but her frustration lingered. After bidding farewell to Elana, she pondered for a moment before reaching out to
some colleagues she trusted.
Jaylene spent the afternoon arranging flowers in the office. After taking several photos, she posted them on Twitter with the
caption: [Here's to a year filled with blooming flowers and boundless love.]
Stella screenshotted the post and sent it to Keegan.
Before he could open the screenshot, he noticed Stella's new profile picture -a wedding photo of them with his back turned.
He remarked in a text: [You changed your profile picture]
Stella messaged back: [Take a look at the screenshot. Jaylene just posted a thank-you message for your roses on her social
media.]
