Mr. Kane Got Blacklisted by Eleven Jewell

Chapter 388
She did not see Keegan when she returned. Vermont was nowhere in sight. Bits and pieces of cream from the cake were
plastered messily. The venue was as noisy as before, but a lot of guests were already drunk.
Stella found Marshall sitting on a couch in a corner. His hair was smeared with whip cream and he was leaning on the table for
support while rubbing his temples with his eyes closed. Marshall only opened his eyes after Stella got closer and called out to
him. His expression became warm when he raised his head and saw Stella. "You're here."
Stella nodded and asked, "Where's Keegan?"
"Keegan's drunk. I brought him to rest with another person's help. I'll bring you to him.
"Sorry for the trouble."
Marshall was propped on the table trying to stand up but started wobbling. Stella noticed and quickly supported him. "Are you
alright, Mr. Moore?"
His complexion was pale and his lip was colorless. He waved and replied," My head hurts. I might have drank too much."
Stella remembered that Marshall just had surgery and had symptoms of migraine. She quickly let him sit and said, "Take a rest.
Is your medication with you? Maybe you shouldn't have it seeing that you're drunk. I'll get you a glass of water instead."
Not waiting for his reply, she headed to the reception to ask for some water and was soon back with half a glass of warm water.
Marshall sipped on the water in a gentlemanly manner and Stella could only helplessly wait for him to finish the glass of water
after a few minutes.
His complexion returned after drinking the glass of water. Stella then asked, "If you still don't feel well when we go back, I'll take
you to the hospital for a checkup."
"It's alright. It's just an old problem. The pain will come in waves and subside after a while."
He stood up and said, "I'll bring you to Keegan. If he found out he was sleeping in such a messy place, he would most likely blow
his top. It's better to bring him back soon."
'Mr. Moore really understands Keegan,' Stella thought. Then, she replied," Then, I'll have to trouble Mr. Moore to guide me to
Keegan."

When the both of them took an elevator from the bar to the hotel, Marshall asked, "Have you finished covering your flowerbed?"
"Huh?" Stella paused for a moment before remembering her excuse. "Oh, yes. They're all properly covered."
Marshall smiled. "That's a relief."
She pondered for a while before she asked, "Mr. Moore, will a signed divorce agreement from a few years back still be effective if
the formalities had not been completed?"
"If formalities had not been completed, a divorce agreement is not legally binding. No matter how many years the agreement had
been signed, incomplete formalities with a signed divorce agreement will still render the piece of paper useless. The details of
the agreement could only be in effect once formalities had been completed. What's more, if the divorce formalities were not
completed after a long time, the details of the agreement might need to be revised due to the difference of financial assets then
and now."
Marshall was surprised and asked, "Why are you asking all this?"
"Ah, it's nothing. I'm just asking." Stella's heart sank.
Rainee had used evidence of Albert's fraud to threaten him to sign the divorce agreement back then. But, ever since Rainee's
accident, Albert had full control of the company and would have covered most of his tracks by now.
Ultimately, Albert was paying for the medical bills for Rainee's treatment, which made Stella unable to break off the relationship.
