Mr. Kane Got Blacklisted by Eleven Jewell

Chapter 2234
Stella's eye twitched.
Did he have to show off like that?
She was about to speak when Keegan chimed in, "Luck's on your side, but hitting that 0.5% chance for twins, like US, would be even better."
Stella was rendered speechless.
The snide remark on her mind suddenly felt out of place.
Vermont's mouth twitched. "Keegan, can't you go one day without bragging?"
Keegan earnestly replied, 'I can't."
Vermont audibly ground his teeth, seething internally. When the time came, he'd make sure to have a daughter and snatch Keegan's son away, then repeat it again and again, relentlessly! He'd ensure that Keegan would not be able to have grandchildren! Let's see how smug he'd be then!
Marshall didn't return after leaving his seat.
Jaylene's injuries hadn't healed, so she didn't show up today. Trevor left after the press conference, and her dad was a no-show all day. Without a second thought, she knew he was furious.
Stella sent her dad a few photos of good wine. "Dad, these are from Keegan, especially for you."
Wenham Saun didn't reply, but the message box kept showing "typing."
It wasn't until Vermont and Aldor helped the tipsy Keegan into the car that the message finally came through. Wenham sent her a fist-bumping emoji.
Stella was confused.
Before she could grasp the meaning of that emoji, Wenham sent another message, "Recall."
Stella was even more confused.
Thirty seconds later.
Wenham, "Recall."
One minute later.
Wenham, "Recall."
Two minutes later.
Wenham, "Recall."
Stella sensed something was amiss. She typed, "Dad, what did you send? I didn't see it."
On the other end, Wenham breathed a sigh of relief and turned to Trevor," Thank goodness it wasn't longer than two minutes. Stella didn't see it."
Then he sounded somewhat frustrated, "But why can I still see it here?"
Trevor had just finished washing his hands and walked over. "Let me see."
Wenham handed his phone to Trevor.
Trevor glanced at the screen, his eye twitching slightly. "You recalled it?"
"Oh," Wenham said, "I thought if I recalled it, it wouldn't be visible on my end either. It didn't disappear, so I kept recalling it four times in a row. I didn't know that only the other person couldn't see it anymore. This is not user-friendly at all. I feel so awkward just staring at it."
Trevor was speechless.
Looking at the four recalls in the chat box and Stella's seemingly oblivious responses, Trevor suddenly realized that there was a reason he hadn't been as favored by his dad all these years compared to his newly arrived daughter.
With her knack for charming their father, he feared he would spend a lifetime practicing and still fall short.
"Give me the phone; I haven't replied to Stella yet."
