Mr. Kane Got Blacklisted by Eleven Jewell

Chapter 1685
Frederick was sitting in a wheelchair. Although he had become very skinny, his eyes still radiated authority.
He stirred his tea, as he said flatly, "Parents have always been the ones arranging marriages for their children since forever.
When did they have the right to make their own decisions? Wenham, you spoil the children too much."
Wenham smiled and said, "Stella is twenty-six this year, and she only returned to our family a few months ago. I haven't raised
her at all, so how could I have the right to interfere with her marriage? If my late wife knew, she'd probably prefer that Stella
never return to us.
"I'd rather she chose a son-in-law I don't like than to have her hate me because I interfered with her decision."
Frederick's gaze darkened.
Clearly, he did not appreciate what Wenham said at all.
He was too used to controlling everything in the Moore family and being self-centered. Especially with the Moore family's political
background, he looked down on families like the Saun family and Kane family.
If Marshall had not gone overseas to treat his illness back then and delayed his marriage, Frederick would have never allowed
him to marry a businessman's daughter.
Frederick had always been bothered by the fact that
Marshall did not follow the path set by him.
He did not invite Wenham over because he thought that Stella would be a good wife to Marshall. Instead, he just wanted to bring
Marshall onto the "right track" through marriage.
So, the dinner was supposed to be an excuse for him to solidify an engagement between the two families. He did not expect to
be rejected at all.
To Frederick, the Saun family should be grateful that the Moore family was willing to accept a divorced woman into their family,
but Wenham did not act like that at all!
"Wenham," Frederick said, as he put down his cup. "Your daughter is divorced. It won’t be easy for her to find

someone as outstanding as Marshall. She'll only meet men with lesser to offer as she ages."
Frederick was implying that Wenham should respect the Moore family and say yes to the marriage.
The smile on Wenham's face faded a little, as he said, "She can be single if she can't find someone she loves. I have enough
money to support her for the rest of her life anyway. Otherwise, when she's as old as Irene, she can also find a younger man to
take care of her. I'm not worried at all."
Suddenly, Frederick's expression turned extremely unpleasant.
If it were not for Frederick's old age, Wenham might have been even less polite.
'How dare this old man have such double standards with me?!' Wenham thought to himself.
The conversation ended on a sour note.
After Wenham got into the car, Darcie asked him about how it went.
Wenham told her what happened and angrily said, "Does he really think everyone wants to be a part of his family? How dare he
act so arrogantly when Stella hasn't even said that she's dating Marshall? I'll never let my daughter suffer such humiliation in
their family even if she can't find anyone else to marry!"
Darcie handed him a thermos and said, "Calm down. This is just how Mr. Moore Sr. is like. There's no need to get angry with
him."
Wenham took a few sips from the thermos, and he felt better.
When his expression softened, Darcie said, "Wenham, although what Mr. Moore Sr. said might be harsh, there are some things
that you have to consider. Everyone knows about what's happening between Stella and Marshall now, but she hasn't said
anything to clear things up. Have you considered that she might genuinely have feelings for him? You should've held yourself
back from saying those things. If we really became in-laws in the future, can you imagine how awkward things would be?"
Wenham choked. He did not believe that his daughter would fall in love with another man so soon. However, with Keegan
gone and Marshall being so proactive, he was starting to worry that Stella really did develop feelings for him.

In fact, Wenham liked Marshall for how modest and thoughtful he was. However, the Moore family was a difficult one to deal
with. He really did not want his daughter to end up there.
Thinking about it made him feel annoyed again. "We’ll talk about this when it really happens. Nothing is certain for now. How
could I just keep quiet when he said such things about my daughter?"
