Mr. Kane Got Blacklisted by Eleven Jewell

Chapter 248
There was a photograph of the two on Keegan’s desk.
In the photograph, Keegan wore a suit as he sat in a chair, while Stella stood beside him in a red dress.
The man had an icy expression, while the woman had an alluring smile.
It was taken during the break time of their wedding photo shoot back then. The photographer thought the two made a beautiful
scene, so he took a photo of them doing these poses.
The finished product looked good. It was also Stella’s favorite photo. This photo was also the huge wedding photo framed on the
wall of their living room.
Stella even deliberately developed a smaller copy and had it framed into a photo frame. Then, she sent it to Keegan’s office.
After Aldor signed the parcel, he placed the photo on Keegan’s desk.
What Stella was currently drawing was that photo of them.
However, Stella drew herself beautifully, while the place Keegan stood had a dog. Besides that, Stella had a dog leash in her
hand.
“What’re you drawing?” the man’s icy voice sounded above her head.
Stella replied in a serious voice, “A self-portrait. Does it look alike?”
Keegan gritted his teeth, “And the dog?”
Stella looked away a little guiltily, “I drew it on a whim. Since you don’t allow me to have a pet. dog, you’re not even allowing me
to draw one?”
‘Stella had been to drawing classes before. Since Rainee had always been very attentive to her education, Stella had attended
various classes in her childhood, such as drawing, dancing, piano, and flute. She had even gone to harp classes for two years.
While she did not last long in her classes, she has great talent. She’s considered a jack of all trades, a master of none. For
instance, professionals may find her current drawing passable at most, but an average person would find it incredibly
picturesque. The dog in the drawing, in particular, has a look that. completely resembles me! How could I possibly believe her
bullshit?!’ he thought.

Marshall walked over when he saw the two “discussing” Stella’s drawing. He glanced at it and blurted, “Why does the dog look
so much like Keegan?”
“Does it?” Stella denied it. “I don’t think it does. The dog isn’t as good-looking as Mr. Kane.”
Keegan was speechless.
Marshall noticed the odd atmosphere between the two, so he chuckled and said, “This is a pretty good drawing.”
Stella smiled with her eyes, “See? Even Mr. Moore says it’s good. Do you want to frame it? This drawing will be worth a lot of
money if my worth multiplies someday.”
She said as she signed her name and the bottom right corner of the drawing.
“One and only.”
Keegan twitched the corner of his lips.
“I’m afraid I won’t be able to see that day in my lifetime,” he said.
Stella cursed him internally.
‘Bad-mouthed bastard,’ she thought.
Then, she turned to Marshall, “Mr. Moore, are you two done talking?”
Marshall nodded.
“Then have lunch with me. I...” Stella paused momentarily and continued, “My husband’s treat.”
Keegan was at a loss for words. Since Stella had already said so, he obviously could not refuse. Just as the three walked out of
the office, they bumped into Sophia.
She was holding a fruit platter and heading in their direction. When she saw them, she froze and immediately smiled, “Stella, Mr.
Kane, Mr. Moore. Are you all leaving?”
Stella sized her up.

‘Just now, when Sophia got shoved by Maya downstairs, her knees smashed onto the ground. Her injury must be pretty serious,
but she can still smile and bring us a fruit platter. I’ve really underestimated my little sister,’ she thought.
Marshall had never met Sophia, so he asked, “And this is...”
”
Before Stella could speak, Sophia introduced herself in her stead, “Hello, Mr. Moore. My name’s Sophia. We met at the jewelry
exhibition two days ago, but you probably don’t remember me. Mr. Kane is my brother-in-law, and Stella is my sister. I’m also
classmates with Aurora, and I often hear her mention you.”
Marshall nodded and grunted. However, he did not answer, perhaps because he was not familiar with Sophia.
Sophia felt a little awkward. Then she said, “Keegan, this fruit platter is freshly cut. I’ll pack it up, and then you guys can eat it on
the way. Mr. Hart said you didn’t have anything for breakfast.”
Stella raised an eyebrow.
Suddenly, she asked, “Sophia, what’s your work position in the company?”
Sophia could not compute her words and answered out of reflex, “Operations Assistant.”
“If you didn’t say so, I would’ve thought you were a tea lady,” Stella said indifferently. She continued, “Dad called me yesterday.
He told me to tell my husband to take care of you. If you like being a tea lady, why don’t I ask him to transfer you to the pantry?”
Sophia twitched the corner of her lips and forced a smile, “Stella, I was just helping someone bring these over since it was on the
way.”

‘Does she think I don’t know which floor the company’s operations department is on? At least your lie believable! Albert is very
attentive to her. He put aside his pride and asked me for a favor for the sake of Sophia’s job. It’s a shame she’s a
disappointment,’ Stella thought. However, Stella was not bothered to expose her lie, so she said coolly, “Dad is worried sick
because of your job. So put more effort into your job, and don’t let his good intentions go to
waste.”

Sophia clenched her fists as her expression changed. Finally, then, she muttered, “I understand, Stella.”
After exiting the company building and getting into the car, Marshall said, “Your sister doesn’t look quite like you.”
“She’s not my biological sister,” Stella answered calmly. “My parents adopted her.”
Marshall did not ask any more questions.
Stella asked, “Do you think I speak to her in a mean tone?”
Meanwhile, Keegan seemed to have found an opportunity to deride her finally. He glanced at her and said icily, “Aren’t you
always mean?”
Stella was speechless.
‘Bastard! I’m not asking him, so why did he fucking cut in?!’ she thought.
Marshall laughed and thought for a while.
“If some person appears in my life out of nowhere and takes away half of my parent’s love and the things that should’ve
belonged to me, I probably wouldn’t be able to be magnanimous either. However, I wouldn’t make it as obvious as you did, it
could easily lead to others criticizing me.
‘He’s a pro. I suffered many losses from Sophia before I finally figured this out, but Marshall caught on immediately. People like
Sophia are the best at pretending to be weak. However, I made my dislike toward Sophia way too obvious, so Albert would
always think that I was bullying Sophia. Every time we fight, Sophia’s always the one who gains benefits no matter what I say. It’s
not always good to be blindly aggressive, sometimes, there’s the need to play little mind games,’ thought Stella.
Stella modestly asked Marshall for advice.
The two discussed away as if they were the only ones there. Meanwhile, Aldor watched as his boss’s expression gradually
darkened.
“This is for the sake of the Kane family’s harmony and for the sake of me working lesser overtime, thought Aldor.
He coughed and interrupted their conversation, “Mr. Moore, what would you like to eat?”
