Mr. Kane Got Blacklisted Chapter 1454 [Eleven Jewell]
Leighton’s younger brother, Noah, noticed that Leighton stayed behind and let go of his mother’s hand. “Dad, I want to stay with Jaylene a little longer,” he said.
Daryl, who usually found Noah quite obedient, agreed. He then advised Leighton to bring Noah back when he leaves.
Leighton did not seem pleased. He glanced at the little one beside him and reluctantly agreed.
The Kane family departed quietly without a word, just as they had arrived. The revelation of Stella’s status as the Saun family heiress was too shocking. Their main concern now was the potential of rekindling Keegan and Stella’s past relationship. With the support of the Saun family, Keegan would undoubtedly have a formidable ally, making it less likely for Chandler to seize control of Vinci Rivera.
They needed some time to digest this information. Cordelia and Aurora left with Chandler’s family.
Soon, the guests gradually departed, leaving very few people. Marshall, who had been quietly observing from a corner, finally stood up.
Ariel followed him, as she noticed he was heading toward Stella.
Having worn high heels all evening, Stella’s feet were sore. She vented to Keegan, “High heels are unequivocally a woman’s torture. They look nice, but they’re good for nothing!”
Keegan pursed his lips. “Why does it seem like your description of high heels and your description of me are exactly the same?”
Stella was momentarily taken aback by his response. She laughed softly and said, “That was ages ago. Back then, you were so obnoxious. In my eyes, you were only good-looking and nothing else.”
Keegan glanced at her. “Does that mean your impression of me improved?”
“Of course. If you were still the same as before, how could I ever get along with you?”
Keegan grew curious. “So, what is your evaluation of me now?”
Stella leaned close to his ear. “Handsome and very very naughty,” said Stella.
Keegan did not know how to respond.
Stella blinked and asked, “Is my evaluation accurate?”
Keegan’s eyes darkened, and his voice was deep. “Do you know what it means when you talk dirty to a man you’re interested in?”
Stella could be quite provocative with her words when she was not in bed. She leaned in and whispered, “It means I want to sleep with you.”
Keegan was eating it up, even though he always corrected
Stella’s more explicit language. He was about to discuss following the doctor’s advice when Marshall’s voice sounded from nearby.
“Stella.”
Stella let go of Keegan’s hand and stood up. She looked toward him and greeted, “Mr. Moore.”
Marshall was wearing a white suit today, which exuded refinement and gentility. His features were handsome, and he spoke in a warm tone. “It was too crowded earlier to talk.
I deliberately stayed a bit longer. Congratulations on reuniting with your family.”
Stella politely smiled. “Thank you.”
“When did you discover this?” Marshall asked.
“It’s already been discovered for a while,” Stella said. She thought about how she had been keeping the secret from Marshall all this time and added, “I didn’t announce it earlier because there were still some matters in the Jewell family that needed to be handled. I didn’t want too many people to know.”
Marshall grinned. “You don’t have to explain to me. I understand.”
Keegan watched the two of them chatting amicably. He calmly addressed Marshall, “Tomorrow is Monday. Don’t you have work? You should head back early.”
Marshall glanced at him. “You’re still here too,” he said.
Keegan replied, “There’s a difference between being the boss of a company and a worker.”
Marshall was rendered silent. Just as he was about to say something, Ariel’s voice came from behind. “Ms. Saun.”
