Mr. Kane Got cklisted By Eleven Jewell Chapter 5
Chapter 5
“What are you daydreaming about?” The front desk was knocked on twice by a handsome-looking man
with his elbows on the reception counter. The man raised his chin with a half-smile and said, “Did I pay
you to daydream?” He was Vermont Snyder, the owner of Neon Neb. The receptionist knew
Vermont very well, so she was not a bit afraid of him. “Boss, you’re often nowhere to be seen.” “Heh.
You sharp-tongued thing!” Vermont was just about to flirt with the receptionist, but an untimely cough
came from behind. He paused for a second and immediately retracted his flirtatious expression.
“Where is Andrew? Get him down here,” he sounded serious. “Mr. Keen is auditioning another artist,”
the receptionist answered. “Audition?” Vermont was stunned. “Dusk Gxy is here?” The receptionist
nodded. A glint of joy and surprise shed in Vermont’s eyes. As soon as he turned around, facing
sullen-looking Keegan, he immediately suppressed his expression and ordered the receptionist with a
straight face, “Give him a call. I need to ask him about something.” The call was put out for a while and
then connected. Vermont turned on the speaker and said, “Andrew, how is the audition? If it’s not
sessful, I have an artist here. Her voice is not bad.” “That won’t be necessary. We auditioned that
person, and the contract is already signed.” Actually, the contract was not even drafted, which meant
Andrew clearly heard Vermont’s hints. Vermont waspletely at ease. He said pretentiously, “Signing
someone is an important matter, and you didn’t even discuss it with me?! Who is the boss here?” The
other side directly hung up the call. Vermont cursed, “Andrew Keen is getting more insolent!” After
saying that, he turned around and spoke to Keegan in resignation, “You heard him. The contract is
signed. Let’s wait for the next update. If there is a suitable role, we’ll sign her up for it.” “Honor of the
Deities” was currently Neon Neb’s most promising project. Vermont would not allow Be to destroy
its perfection. Keegan casually nced at Vermont. “I will pay that person double the charges for the
penalty of breaking the contract. Let her give up on this role, and I will give you a three-percent cut for
the project at North Cove Town.” Vermont’s frivolous expression changed. He stared at Keegan for a
few seconds before he asked, “You serious?” Although Keegan did not speak, his eyes had made it
clear. “Time and time again, you’ve stuffed Be with resources. I’m starting to suspect that the inte
rumors are true,” said Vermont. However, Keegan was only concerned about Vermont’s decision. “Is
that a yes or no?” “I’ll think about it,” Vermont replied. When Keegan still wanted to say something, the
door to the elevator opened, and a familiar face appeared. Keegan froze for a second when their gazes
met. Meanwhile, Ste only paused for half a second before she evaded his line of sight. After she
came out of the elevator, she politely nodded at Vermont before walking to the exit. Vermont hesitantly
said, “Did your wife not notice you?” Keegan’s face turned glum. He ignored Vermont and lunged to
chase after Ste. When he was outside, he saw her standing by the road waiting for a car. Ste’s
back was slim, and her hair was tied into a soft, low ponytail. She slightly dipped her head to look at her
phone and did not pay the slightest attention to Keegan who was in front of her. “Why are you here?”
The interrogating voice was filled with an unreasonable apathy. Meeting him early in the morning had
ruined Ste’s mood, so her tone was alsoced with harshness. “If you can be here, why can’t I be
here?” Keegan sneered lightly, “You’re not done ying your stalking act?” Ste’s eyebrows twitched
as she snarled inwardly, ‘How presumptuous!’ Seeing that she say nothing, Keegan was even more
certain about his spection. His mood had unexpectedly turned slightly better. However, his tone was
still cold. “If you want to know my schedule, you should just call and ask me. There is no need to go
through all these twists and turns.” Ste had endured his remarks, but now she could no longer hold
back. “Keegan, has no one ever said you are shameless? Who is stalking you? I stalked you from
walking out of the elevator? Did I say something to you? Who is the one that’s actually being
followed?” “Pfft…” Vermont, who was listening in secret, could not help butugh. Keegan held his
solemn look and shot Vermont a re. Only then did Vermont immediately hide himself. “Why are you
here?” Keegan asked with a worried expression. Ste casually nced at him. “What does that have
to do with you?” Her words were harsher than his. Keegan’s eyelids twitched hard. He was afraid that
they would fight again if they continued the conversation. He suppressed his anger and stiffly said,
“Aurora is back. Mom told us to go over to have a meal tomorrow.” “Oh,” Ste replied nonchntly,
“What does that have to do with me? We are about to get a divorce. I don’t need to apany you
and y the husband-and-wife, mother-inw, and daughter-inw act again, right?” “Act?” Keegan
barely contained his emotions as his rage was immediately prodded. He sneered, “You are good atN?vel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive ? material.
acting. Tell me, what do you want this time? Clothes? Handbags? Jewelry? Or, to give the Jewell family
a project? Fussing for a divorce and running away, you have done enough for your act. How big is
Albert Jewell’s appetite this time? There is a limit to his greed.” Ste’s heart shook, and she clenched
her trembling fingers. The diamond bracelet on her hand was gifted to her by Keegan on her birthday
for the first year of their marriage. No, it would be more urate to say that she had demanded it from
Keegan. Every Valentine’s day, wedding anniversary, her birthday, and other special asions, Ste
would use coquetry means to ask Keegan for presents, hoping that that time, it would make him
remember those particr dates. Those times to her were sweet memories. Unfortunately, he saw that
as her insatiable greed. Ste lowered her head, trying to hide her emotions. Her face was pale. When
Keegan tried to take a closer look, she raised her eyes. Currently, there were only broken shards of ice
in those eyes. She then lowered her head again to take off a bracelet. “When we divorce, you won’t
need to be bothered by this again. Your coboration with the Jewell family has nothing to do with me,”
she said casually. The bracelet slipped into Keegan’s suit pocket as those words came out. At that
moment, a Uber stopped before Ste. After taking two steps, she stopped and turned around. She
nced at Keegan and suddenly chuckled. “Why did I still have hope for you?” After saying that in self-
mockery, she turned around and got in the car. Keegan stared in the direction of the car that had left.
His eyes seemed like they were spitting fire. “Ste wants to divorce you?” The nosy voice of Vermont
came from behind. Keegan shot him a cold nce. “Isn’t it obvious that it’s just a small argument
between a husband and wife? Watch your mouth!”
