Mr. Kane Got Blacklisted by Eleven Jewell

Chapter 1280
Marshall took the cup of tea and thanked Stella.
Keegan reached for the other cup, only to find Stella grabbing and sipping from it. He shot her a puzzled look, to which she
responded, "Your cup's in the kitchen. Go fetch it yourself."
Stella's words left him speechless. 'Seems like she's seizing every opportunity to tease me, he thought. Annoyed by the
situation, Keegan stood up and headed for the kitchen.
There, he found a cup of coffee with a heart-shaped latte art waiting on the counter. His anger dispersed immediately.' Aw, she
loves me.'
"Mr. Moore, you mentioned something about my mother's accident during our call. What is it?" Stella asked.
Marshall placed his cup down and pulled out his phone. He showed Stella a photo of someone and said, "Take a look at this
person. Do you know him?"
Stella glanced at the picture and immediately recognized the face. "He used to be my family's driver. I had investigators look into
him before, but he's rather cautious and avoids having interactions with outsiders."
Marshall continued, "This man is now in Rivera. He developed a tumor and is undergoing chemotherapy at the city hospital."
Stella did not understand what Marshall was trying to convey, so he elaborated, "Cancer treatments are expensive. Since this
man is unemployed, he's likely searching for ways to earn some money."
"Are you implying that he might approach Albert for financial help?" asked Stella.
"No, I think he's going to approach Hylda instead. He probably knows some of Hylda's secrets. Otherwise, she wouldn't have
been supporting him financially for all these years."
Marshall paused for a while and added, "Once the kindergarten goes out of business, Hylda won't be able to provide him with
support anymore. In his desperation to stay afloat, he might turn against her. So, I think we could extract some valuable
information from him."
Stella perked up at the alignment of events. The kindergarten situation was already a major headache for Hylda. It would be a
blessing for Stella if another potential threat emerged.

"Please keep a close eye on this man for me, Mr. Moore. You could consider extending a monetary offer if the opportunity
arises."
Before Marshall could respond, Keegan interjected, "How generous of you.”
Stella glanced at him and said, "It's called being practical. I know when to save and spend when necessary. I'm not as stingy as
Vermont, you know?"
As she said that, Vermont's voice sounded from the hallway.
"Ayo. I didn't know you were such a backstabber, Stella."
Stella felt a little awkward after being exposed.
Felicity pushed Vermont playfully and said, "Don't you talk about my best friend like that!"
"Alright, alright," Vermont responded, wrapping an arm around Felicity's waist. She stiffened up immediately and was led into the
room by Vermont.
Upon entering, Vermont noticed the gift box Marshall had brought. He picked it up and opened it to find a Chanel scarf.
Vermont immediately draped it around Felicity's neck and said, "Marshall sure has an eye for style. This scarf complements you
perfectly."
Marshall did not know how to tell Vermont that the scarf was meant for Stella while Felicity's gift was in the other box.
Hearing the words of praise, Felicity clutched onto the scarf and asked, "Do you really think it suits me? I've never worn a color
like this before. It feels rather posh."
"Confidence is key, baby," he said and opened another box." This bag looks great on you too. It goes well with your style. Here,
put it on and give it a twirl."
His words left Marshall dumbfounded.
