Mr. Kane Got Blacklisted by Eleven Jewell

Chapter 957
Marshall was known to be a friendly person, and a lot of people greeted him as soon as he entered the venue.
Inevitably, they also asked about Stella.
Marshall introduced her to them, and of course, as Celeste Thompson.
Stella's face was going numb after constantly smiling.
Suddenly, she thought about attending banquets like this with Keegan. Keegan was like a walking iceberg, especially when he
ran into people he was not familiar with. Even though many people would greet him, he would always keep a cold face. So,
those people would awkwardly walk away after greeting him, which reduced her social obligations.
She used to think that Keegan was very unfriendly for doing that. But now, she realized that what Keegan did was push away a
lot of meaningless social interactions.
The wedding venue was decorated in a very romantic way as all the flowers used there were all real. That alone was already
extremely luxurious.
Her wedding with Keegan was decorated with real flowers too, and even the wedding favors were a pair of customized bracelets
made of African Sandalwood that cost several thousand.
By right, wedding favors were supposed to be prepared by both parties. However, Keegan was very busy with work, and Dahlia
was not very supportive of their marriage whereas Cordelia was too old to be handling hassles like this. So, the Kane family
offered a very high dowry because they wanted the Jewell family to take care of everything.
Albert was naturally very happy to do so. However, the wedding favors that he prepared were just some candies and chocolates.
The most expensive thing that he prepared was the two boxes of Cohiba.
Everyone only found out what Albert prepared a day before the wedding when Stella and Keegan went to the wedding venue for
a rehearsal. Even though Cordelia did not say anything about it at that time, her expression revealed some dissatisfaction.
Albert even boasted about how thoughtful his wedding favors were. Stella felt very embarrassed because she had no say at all in
the Jewell family.

Cordelia asked for Keegan's opinion, and Keegan said that he was fine with that. However, he got someone to buy some new
gifts the day after without telling Albert about it.
The next day during the wedding, Albert saw what Keegan prepared and his face turned very upset.
Stella used to think that Keegan only did that to show off. At the time, she figured that he would not be bothered by things like
this as he was someone who did not even care to celebrate his own birthday. However, she now realized that everything he did
was for her.
Perhaps Keegan did not like her back then, but he showed everyone the respect and dignity she deserved as his wife.
She used to always say that Keegan's face was what attracted her, but in fact, his values were what touched her the most.
Of course, his face played a big part too.
And his body.
And his voice.
When he was not being mean.
"Ste-Celeste, have a seat."
Marshall called out to her. 'Sure." Stella recollected herself and responded. She went around the chair that Marshall had pulled
out from the table for her and sat beside him.
After a while, Carter and his wife arrived and sat opposite them.
Marshall casually chatted with Carter as the other guests arrived one after another.
Vermont came very soon after that. His eyes sparkled as soon as she saw Marshall sitting next to a lady, "Not single anymore,
huh?"
Stella avoided eye contact with him by drinking some water.
Vermont was too much of a playful person, and she was worried that he would start messing things up if he recognized her.
Marshall smiled faintly without saying anything.

"Aren't you going to introduce her to me?' Vermont asked.
He lowered his jaw and asked, "What's her name?"
Marshall answered, "You can call her Miss Thompson."
"Thompson?" Vermont became interested. "I know someone named Thompson too. She couldn't be related to her, right?"
Stella pursed her lips.
In fact, they were related and living under the same roof.
Marshall then spoke for her. "I guess not. She's a local, and I remember that Felicity is not from around here."
