Mr. Kane Got Blacklisted by Eleven Jewell

Chapter 738
Stella was startled momentarily.
'Isn't he at the office? Did he teleport here?' she wondered.
Before she could respond, Jaylene followed behind him and said," Marshall, Ms. Jewell."
Stella froze and looked at Jaylene. Then, she glanced at a nervous-looking Keegan, and her gaze darkened slightly.
Marshall explained, "Stella is fine. Someone else got hurt."
Then Keegan saw Leighton, who had gotten scalded. He felt a little relieved knowing Stella was not hurt. He wanted to say
something, but the car downstairs was ready. So Stuart told everyone to make way and send Leighton to the hospital first.
Stella withdrew her hand. Then, she followed them with a dark expression. Marshall wanted to run after her but was stopped by
Keegan.
"What happened?" Keegan asked in a low voice.
Jaylene also chimed in, "Marshall, what's going on?"
Marshall glanced at the two.
"Aurora barged into the room just now and splashed boiling water onto Stella. Mr. Hall shielded her, so his back got scalded."
Keegan had a dark expression.
'No wonder Aurora had such a panicked expression when she entered the room just now. If someone hadn't shielded Stella, she
would've been the one with blisters right now,' he thought.
Keegan subdued his trembling heart. Then, he lifted his head and gazed at
Marshall, "How did Aurora know that you guys were in the room next door?"
'There are plenty of upscale restaurants in Rivera, and Cotton Rose Restaurant isn't even one of the best among them. Besides,
even if we chose the same restaurant coincidentally, what're the chances of choosing rooms next to each other when there are

dozens of them? I don't know calculus, but I know about probability. Something can be justified as coincidental if it happens once
or twice. But if something is always coincidental, is it really a coincidence?' he thought.
Marshall froze after hearing his words. He slowly lowered his hand, which was blocking Keegan. Then, he turned to look at
Keegan calmly, "This is a question you should ask Aurora instead. I would also like to know how she found our room."
Beside them, Jaylene secretly clenched her fists.
'I didn't expect Aurora to be so ruthless. I just wanted to use her as a pawn to make Keegan realize his ex-wife has already
moved on so that he can give up on her. I didn't want to harm Stella,' she thought.
The crowd heading to the hospital shoved Jaylene and Keegan aside. Jaylene felt a little overwhelmed, so she did not
immediately follow them.
"Leighton's team has already called the police; they won't let this incident go easily. But of course, with your capability, you could
keep Aurora safe as long as you want to. Just like the time she locked Stella in the washroom on the night of the charity ball."
Marshall continued coolly, "If the police question me, I'll tell them the truth. You have the people you want to protect, and so do I."
Keegan's expression turned icy.
"Marshall Moore, you could be a little more open and upright. That way, I wouldn't look down on you!"
Marshall lifted his gaze, Keegan, you seem to have gotten one thing wrong
-you let Stella go yourself; nobody forced you. Since you've already let go of her, you should carry out your duty as an ex instead
of condoning your family for hurting her. As for the approaches I'm using, that's my business."
Suddenly, Keegan tightly grabbed Marshall's collar. He said sternly through gritted teeth, "Come at me if anything. I won't forgive
you if you mess with her."
Marshall frowned and seemed really confused by Keegan's words. He pursed his lips and slowly removed Keegan's hand from
his collar.
"Whoever Stella chooses is up to her. I won't hold a grudge if she ends up choosing you.”
He straightened his shirt and continued coolly, "Provided that you win over me."

After he spoke, he glanced at Jaylene, who was standing nearby. A hint of mockery flashed across his eyes. Then, he walked
away.
Keegan had an icy expression as he watched Marshall leave. No other emotion could be discerned on his face. He frowned
deeply.
'How could he possibly like Stella?' he thought.
