Mr. Kane Got Blacklisted

Mr. Kane Got Blacklisted By Eleven Jewell Chapter 31

The familiar shrill voice with a hint of surprise instantly stirred Stella in disgust. Stella raised her head and gave an impassive look. “It’s been a while since we last met, Miss Young.”

The store owner who came shortly after surprisingly asked, “Have you two met before?”

Bella fixed her jacket and wandered in front of Stella. She then took a seat facing her with a smirk and said, “More than that. We are familiar with each other.”

The store owner did not perceive the deeper intent at the moment and laughed, “So, you are acquaintances. Would the two of you like to discuss this in private?”

Bella glanced at the store owner. “We just know each other, but not to the extent of a friendly relationship. ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .

Bella made the store owner feel awkward by pointing out their relationship with one sentence. Stella still had a stoic expression and pushed the case over. “According to the store’s rules, let’s sample the goods first.”

The store owner took the bag and started inspecting it after seeing that Bella had no objections. The end table in the private room was narrow. The distance between Stella and Bella was approximately a meter. The tense atmosphere between the two made the store owner, who was a few meters away, feel pressured.

“Stella, you are quite thick–skinned. How are you not ashamed of selling things from the Kane family.”

“I’m just selling the things I don’t want. Why should I feel ashamed? So, do you mean that those who scramble for things others don’t want should die from shame?” Stella let out a chuckle. “Well, aren’t you living just fine, Miss Young?”

Bella’s face became clouded. However, Bella held her rage back out of concern that the store owner would overhear her. After twenty minutes, the store owner finished the inspection. The store owner confirmed the authenticity and asked for Stella’s intended price.

“Five million.”

Once she made her statement, Bella jumped up before the store owner could evaluate the price. “Five million? Stella, are you crazy about money? The bag is probably worth two million, but you want to sell it to me for five? Do you think I’m stupid?”

Stella remained expressionless. “If you could buy it for two million, why buy it second–hand? Miss Young, you know this bag is for members only, right? Only premium members with an annual consumption of more than twenty million are eligible to purchase this. It’s a completely new bag. I have to include some of the membership fees, right?”

“Membership fee? Stella, did you use your own money to buy this bag? You squandered Keegan’s money. You’re imposing a membership fee to cash it out now that you don’t want it anymore. No wonder Keegan said that you’re stingy and insatiably greedy.”

Stella clenched her fist, and her expression turned cold. “Miss Young, the Keegan you mentioned is my husband by law. It’s reasonable and legal for me to spend his money. There’s no need for you to boss me around. If you want this bag, the price is five million with no bargains. Let’s not waste each other’s time if you can’t afford to buy it. I’m quite busy.”

“Who said I can’t afford it?” Bella was seething with anger. “I’m just questioning the rationality of the price. The value of this bag is probably three million. If you sell it for five million, it’s simply… disrupting the market order!”

Stella let out a laugh. “It looks like you don’t understand that we are under the transaction of private goods. And, it has nothing to do with the market order. I only need to pay the value–added tax if this transaction is completed. It’s not illegal or against the rules. Besides, values are just references for the buyers, yet it’s my choice for the price of the item since it belongs to me. You could call off the deal if you think it’s unreasonable.”

“Why you-” Bella’s face turned green with anger. She was even more furious when she saw Stella being calm and composed. She sneered after thinking about it. “Stella, you increased the price on purpose and refused to sell the bag to me after realizing that I was the buyer, right?”

Stella did not speak and gave her a cold stare.
