Mr. Kane Got Blacklisted by Eleven Jewell

Chapter 1871
Aldor and Aurora were equally perplexed, unable to understand Keegan's anger.
Aurora, realizing the predicament Cordelia had put her in with Aldor, turned to her brother Keegan for support. She cautiously
said, "Keegan, Grandma wants me to get engaged to Aldor."
Keegan took a moment, glanced at Aldor, and dryly commented, "Marrying my sister doesn't mean a pay raise."
Their speechlessness reflected their surprise at his response.
Aurora couldn't believe it. She pressed, "Is that all you're going to say?"
Keegan pondered, then added, "Once you make this choice, there's no going back."
Aurora's hopes sank. She had expected Keegan to be vehemently against the idea. 'How can he be okay with his subordinate
marrying his sister? We're from different worlds, and I've been nothing but harsh to Aldor! Has Keegan lost his mind?'
Trying to reason with her brother, Aurora pointed out, "Look at us, Keegan. Do you really think Aldor and I are a good match?"
Keegan's indifferent reply caught them off guard, "Aldor can
handle being with someone below his standard. He's earned plenty of bonuses from me, after all."
Aldor was inwardly taken aback, thinking, 'I earned those bonuses on my own merit. Is Mr. Kane using them to justify this
arrangement?'
Aurora, feeling a mix of anger and disbelief, bit her tongue and retorted, "I should've just ignored this whole thing!" before
storming off upstairs.
Aldor, left behind with Keegan, wanted to speak but hesitated.
Keegan, not even glancing at him, explained, "An engagement doesn't guarantee marriage. Grandma is merely providing a
chance for you both to explore this. The final decision is yours."
He continued, "The Kane family doesn't force these matters. If it doesn't work out, I'll speak with Grandma."

Keegan understood Cordelia's intentions: she sought a dependable man for Aurora. That's why he considered Aldor -a man of
ability, with a straightforward personal life and a record of staying out of conflicts.
Alder’s composed demeanor was necessary to manage Aurora's more challenging personality.
Therefore, Keegan stayed out of it, knowing that whatever the outcome, it should be based on genuine feelings and mutual
understanding.
Aldor was not inclined to advance in life through marriage.
Despite being surrounded by many outstanding women during social events over the years, some of whom had extended olive
branches to him, he never once compromised his principles.
He was a smart man and naturally understood Keegan's implication.
He liked the idea of marriage but never thought he'd be the one who would get married.
He couldn't help but feel distressed when he thought about getting together with Aurora.
"Mr. Kane, would you reduce my pay if things don't work out? " Aldor pondered for a moment before asking.
Keegan's eyes twitched as he heard that. "One more word, and I'd cut your pay!" He sneered.
Aldor sealed his lips.
As Keegan finished speaking, he received a notification on his phone and nearly choked.
Stella had posted something on her social media.
[Will mixing these two together make it taste like the viral alcohol-infused latte?]
Attached with the caption was an image of a cup of expresso, a bottle of high-end liquor, and a plate of crabs in the middle.
Keegan's face darkened.
Soon, comments started pouring in.
