Mr. Kane Got cklisted By Eleven Jewell Chapter 7


    Chapter 7


    “Dad, you have apany yourself. Have you ever seen an intern who just joined apany drive a


    luxurious car that costs millions? Thest time Keegan met with a client for a multi-billion project, he


    only drove his 90-thousand-dor Mercedes-Benz. Why does she need a car that’s over a


    million?” Albert was irritated. “Things are different in everypany. What do you know? You’re being


    pampered and fed by the Kane family.” “Being fed by the Kane family?” Ste frowned slightly. “This


    wasn’t what you said when you told me to give up on my job. Besides, the Kane family doesn’t just feed


    me.” SMACK! Albert mmed the table and angrily said, “Was there a need to dig up the past? We’re


    just borrowing a car.” Sophia quickly cated him. “Dad, don’t be angry. You have high blood pressure.


    It’s my fault. I shouldn’t have brought this up. If Ste doesn’t want to lend it to me, then so be it. Don’t


    be mad at her.” The more Sophia persuaded Albert, the more he found Ste a nuisance. “Look at


    Sophia. She’s younger than you, yet she’s more sensible!” The meal ended in an unhappy atmosphere.


    Before Ste left, Sophia ced two boxes of white truffles in her car. She said to Ste from the car


    window, “Ste, the reason Keegan didn’te had nothing to do with work, right?” Ste nced at


    her. “What are you trying to say?” Sophia smiled, “A car will never have only one owner. The same


    goes for men.” Then, she winded up the windows for Ste before turning around and leaving. At the


    apartment, Felicity weighed the two gift boxes in her hands. She turned to Ste and said, “There must


    be five or six pounds here. Your dad really spends a lot of effort in pleasing the Kane family. Didn’t you


    tell him your mother-inw doesn’t even look at the gifts he sends them?” “You think telling him would


    stop him?” Most of the channels were showing dramas starring Be. Ste turned off the TV since she


    could not find the show she wanted. “He’ll just think his gifts were not their taste. Then, he’ll send them


    better ones the next time.” “What do you n to do with these?” Ste did not know either. ‘Albert


    doesn’t trust me. Whenever he sends them a gift, he asks Keegan to see if they received it. Why


    doesn’t he give the gifts to Keegan and ask him to send them instead?’ she thought. Ste was


    reminded of her heated encounter with Keegan today. She felt a little regretful. ‘I should’ve held myself


    back a little. What if Keegan holds a grudge, and he doesn’t cover for me? I shouldn’t have gone that


    far,’ she thought again. She contemted for a while before cheekily dialing Keegan’s number. The


    phone rang for a while before it was connected. However, the person on the other end hung up just as


    she was about to speak. At first, Ste thought that it was a mistake and redialed. Once again, the call


    got hung up as soon as it was connected. Ste repeated the processes a few more times before


    finally realizing that Keegan was doing it on purpose. ‘That dog! He’s so vindictive!’ she


    thought. Naturally, Ste was not going to give up that easily. She would rather speak to Keegan than


    deal with his mother—Dahlia Crosby. She sent Keegan a text message. [Ste: You there, Mr.


    Kane?] Two minutester, Keegan sent an icy one-word response. [Keegan: No.] Ste ignored his


    responded and sent another text. [Ste: My father gave me two boxes of white truffles. I’ll send them


    to your office tomorrow. Pass them to your mother for me.] Keegan responded to her text promptly. It


    was still a one-word response. [Keegan: No.] Ste patiently negotiated with him. [We’ll split the assets


    60-40. You’ll get 60, and I’ll get 40.] Once again, Keegan gave her a one-word response. [Keegan:


    Hah.] Ste gritted her teeth and made her furthest concession. [Ste: Is 30-70 good enough? 70 for


    you and 30 for me. I can’t go any lower!] This time, Keegan did not respond for a long while. Just as


    Ste was contemting 20-80, the phone rang. It was Keegan. She picked up her phone and


    answered. Keegan’s mellow voice traveled into Ste’s ear. “Apany me to Aurora’s weing


    party tomorrow.” “No—” Keegan continued before Ste could finish her sentence, “I’ll help you.” Ste


    swallowed her unspoken words and responded meekly, “Okay.” Then, both ends fell silent. ‘This is the


    first time we’ve spoken to each other so calmly since I moved out that day. I’m suddenly a little not


    used to it. To be honest, Keegan’s actually a pretty decent marriage partner. He’s handsome and


    competent at work. Besides his cold personality and asionally harsh remarks, he has no bad habits.


    Even though there’s a huge disparity between our family backgrounds, he always followed the rules of


    etiquette when it came to the Jewell family. Apart from not loving me, he has never treated me badly in


    terms of food, clothing, and expenses. Compared to other rich young men whomit debauchery on


    a daily basis and are embroiled in scandals, Keegan is merely a man who still has romantic


    entanglements with his ex-girlfriend. Is there a need to go to the extent of getting a divorce?’ she


    thought. Ste opened her mouth and was about to speak. However, the familiar voice of a womanAll content ? N/.?vel/Dr/ama.Org.


    sounded on the other end before she could speak. “Who’s on the phone, Keegan?” Ste was startled.


    She promptly let out augh of self-mockery before she indifferently said, “See you tomorrow.” Then,


    she hung up. ‘Why do I have to choose a partner among the bad and the worse ones? An ex-girlfriend


    who he’s still romantically entangled with is already enough to destroy this marriage that’s almost


    coming to an end,’ she thought again.
