Mr. Kane Got Blacklisted

Mr. Kane Got Blacklisted By Eleven Jewell Chapter 23

Stella was dumbfounded. ‘Why didn’t the sugar seal your mouth shut then, if I put too much sugar? Ugh, whatever. I should just put up with him since I’m the one who is asking him for something.”

She smiled apologetically, and with a good attitude, she said, “Noted. I haven’t been in the kitchen for a long time, so I must be getting rusty. Sure enough, Keegan’s facial expression looked better after that. Stella then took the opportunity to say, “Mr. Kane, us having this divorce is like us getting married. We have to choose a date. You see, we got married on an unlucky day. As a result, our marriage didn’t go well, and we couldn’t make it to the end. So, we have to pick a good day to get divorced so that our previous marriage won’t fetter us, and we will be able to find new love. I’ve checked the dates, the 21st, 24th, 25th, 26th, 27th, 28th, and 31st of this month are all good days to get divorced. Should we just pick one from all the days I just mentioned?”

“Every day is a good day except for weekends, huh?” Keegan sneered, seeing right through her little scheme.

“There are just more auspicious days in this month,” said Stella cheekily, but he ignored her. She was not going to give up without getting an answer, so she continued, “Which day do you think is the most suitable, Mr. Kane?”

In the end, Keegan was so annoyed by her muttering that he said with a dark face, “Say another word, and you’ll have to give this gift yourself.” Stella was speechless. All the soft words she had in her had run out. “Those are two different things, Keegan! I’ve kept my end of the deal, so why can’t you?!” She said annoyedly.

Keegan’s brows relaxed a little when he saw her wild side. He tapped the lunch box with his fork and said, “Stella, you’re the one who wants a divorce and not tell your father about it. How could we ever keep this up?” Stella did not know what to say. She did not want to let Albert know about her divorce.

Before Rainee’s accident, problems arose in her marriage with Albert. Not long after her injury, Albert wanted a divorce. However, Rainee had trained some of their company’s most important employees at that time. She also had nearly half of the company’s shares. Albert knew that people in the company would not be happy if they had a divorce. So, he decided not to pursue it under his lawyer’s advice. Three years after Rainee’s accident, Albert had slowly taken the shares into his own hands. He also cleared out the staff and replaced them with his own set of people. Not long after, the idea of divorce began to form in his mind once again. However, it was that year that Keegan chose to marry Stella.

Albert was shocked when the Kane family came and proposed a marriage between the two. The Kane family was the top family in Rivera. His reputation would surely increase if his daughter were to marry into the family. ‘Who would ever turn down such an offer?’ Albert thought. Naturally, he agreed to marry Stella off to Keegan.

In order for Stella to willingly marry into the family and bring him business, Albert promised her not to divorce Rainee for ten years. However, if Rainee was still unconscious after those ten years, Albert would use her shares to pay for her expenses in the hospital for the rest of her life.

Now that Stella’s marriage with Keegan ended after only three years, Albert would stop all the payments if he found out. With the little amount of money she had, Stella had no way to pay for her mother’s hospital bills. She was planning to buy a house to take care of her mother on the premise. That way, she could get a part of the property after the divorce and a stable income. However, her voiceover gig for Honor of the Deities, which she was sure she would get, was now given to someone else. Property belongs to Nôvel(D)r/ama.Org.

Stella had also rejected many job offers because she had never thought that she would divorce Keegan,

which left a bad impression. Hence, she only got a few job offers from big companies in the last six

months. This also meant that she could not make much money in that short while, which was more of the reason why she could not let Albert know about her divorce. Plus, Keegan obviously would not help her keep this secret after they go their separate ways.

For a while, Stella was feeling irritated by the situation. ‘Should I just not get the divorce? But Keegan would definitely think that I’m a joke after everything I said.‘
