Mr. Kane Got Blacklisted by Eleven Jewell

Chapter 534
Stella's health was not in a good state, and she was still a child at heart. Keegan did not understand why she wanted a baby. 'It's
like a child taking care of a child!' he thought. Keegan felt like it was not the best time to have children, so they had a huge
argument about it.
At that time, the quality of Albert's products was also a problem that involved Stella. This incident made an impact on Chandler's
project, and the board members of the company kept asking Keegan for an explanation. Paired with the disagreement about the
children, the two got into a serious argument.
After they quarreled, Keegan went back to cleaning up Albert's mess, so he was not home for a while. 'Both of these issues
occurred during July of last year...' Keegan thought, and his heart tightened.
He did not know about the sleeping pills nor when the medical report was released. A lump started to form in Keegan's throat as
he realized that though Stella hid Dusk Galaxy from him, she never once hid her feelings.
He was the one who ignored them. Stella was not good at keeping her emotions to herself. If Keegan had paid more attention to
her, he would have known everything earlier.
When Marshall finished his opening, the judge began to ask for the defense's case. Bella had hired a good lawyer for Tammy. He
did not deny Marshall's evidence but instead questioned the medical report.
Stella's medical report was issued in July of last year, and the defendant only really started making snarky comments about her
in January of this year. So, the defense attorney asserted that Stella's depression did not have a direct relation to the defendant's
remarks.
"In summary, we maintain that there's no necessary causal relationship between the two events. There's no denying that the
plaintiff suffered from depression, but it's evident that it was not caused by my client's actions. Her poor mental health could have
derived from different reasons. Maybe she had a bad life, or maybe she is someone who is predisposed to mental illness." He
then looked at Stella and said, "Your honor, if I may, I would like to ask Ms. Jewell some questions."
"Sir, I think the defense attorney is one of your college classmates."
The defense lawyer was Ted Eldrich. As his name suggested, he would take on any case as long as money was involved and
did not care whether his clients were guilty.

One of the most famous cases he covered was the poisoning case in Calton University's laboratory five years ago. Various
parties provided testimonies that pointed directly at the suspect. However, since no fingerprints or DNA were found in the lab,
there was no direct evidence linking the suspect to the crime scene. In other words, there was no way to prove that the suspect
had planted the poison.
The suspect had brought the poisonous substance back to their dormitory, and it was found in the laboratory's water dispenser.
However, they could not find a link in the chain of evidence. They could only prove that the suspect illegally carried the highly
toxic substance.
Ted honed in on this detail and turned the case on its head. What started as a poisoning case was reclassified as involuntary
manslaughter. The suspect, found carrying poisonous substances, was only sentenced to five years for causing death due to
negligence.
The case became sensational at that time. Though netizens criticized Ted all over the internet, it still did not affect his reputation.
Many rich people hired him to represent them in court to escape from being sentenced to prison, and Ted mainly made money
from them.
Keegan did not like how the man dealt with things, so he never tried to befriend him. During the poison trial, Ted questioned the
witnesses and found flaws in their testimonies, which turned the entire case on its head.
So, Keegan's heart sank when he heard Ted say he wanted to question Stella.
