Mr. Kane Got cklisted By Eleven Jewell Chapter 127
Chapter 127
As soon as Ste came out of the shower, she received a phone call from Felicity.
Felicity’s excited voice rang through the phone “Ste, they epted my script!” She eximed.
“Wow, that was fast!” Ste was surprised.
Despite having only revised the manuscript the day before, Felicity’s submission had already been
epted without a hitch.
“I know, right?” Felicity replied. “I thought they’d ask for revisions when I submitted it this morning, but
they just called to say they epted it and want me to sign the contract next week.”
Ste secured her damp hair with a w clip and asked, “How much will you sell it for?”
“That hasn’t been decided yet,” Felicity replied. “But, the general market price for a first series is around
a million.”
“And, will you be the screenwriter if the drama is filmed?” Ste continued.
Felicity exined, “Unfortunately, film productionpanies tend to hold onto the copyrights before
they make any decisions. As for when it will be filmed, it can be unpredictable and often depends on
avability. For established writers, filming usually begins within two years of signing a contract.
However, for less well–known writers like myself, there’s no guarantee of a film opportunity, even after
the copyright has expired. So, I shouldn’t count on being its screenwriter.”
Ste was a little disappointed.
Felicity, on the other hand, remained optimistic. “Getting it sold is a huge step forward. I’m young and
not in a rush. Someday, the dramas of the scripts I write will be broadcasted on major TV channels!”
Ste’s smile returned. “And, when that dayes, hot actors and actresses, as well as award winning
talents, will all want to be a part of your dramas!”
Felicity added, “And, I’ll make sure that you’re my leading actress, making you a superstar that even
Keegan would want to impress.”
Ste’s grin vanished. “Don’t mention him. I’m still mad at him.”
Felicity picked up on Ste’s tone and softly asked, “Did you two have another argument?”
Feeling wronged, Ste could not hold back and shared the details of what had happened with Felicity.
After rting the story, Ste added, “Is he really upset about a pair of socks? I don’t think so. He was
just trying to pick a fight with me. I was so foolish. Why did I even buy him those socks in the first ce,
just for him to find fault with me?”
“Wait a minute,” Felicity interjected. “Did you say thewyer I introduced you to is Keegan’s childhood
friend and the good–looking guy who helped youst time?”
Ste nodded. “Small world, right?”
Felicity was quiet for a moment and then asked, “So, you gave Keegan’s socks to his childhood
friend?”
Ste corrected her. “No, I put them in the wrong bag by mistake.

“Could it be that Keegan was jealous?” Felicity asked.
“Jealous my foot! He can’t possibly think that Mr. Moore is interested in me. Besides, he doesn’t even
like me. Why would he be jealous? He was just looking for an excuse to start a fight! I bet he was
unhappy at the thought of having to split his wealth with me after our divorce, so he is deliberately
messing with me!”
Before Felicity wanted to say something, Ste received another phone call.
“It’s Keegan’s mom. I’ll have to answer it. Let’s catch up soon.” Ste quickly hang up Felicity’s call and
took a deep breath before answering Dahlia’s call. Her tone was obedient as she answered. “Hi,
Dahlia. How can I help you? Are you looking for Keegan? I’ll call him for you.”
“I’m looking for you,” Dahlia said in a clear and cold tone.
“You’re looking for me?” Ste’s eyebrows lowered in confusion. “What do you need?”
“Did you and Keegan visit Cordelia today?” Dahlia asked.
It did not surprise Ste that Dahlia knew their whereabouts since Dahlia had many people at the Kane
residence to keep her informed.
So, Ste did not dare to keep it from Dahlia. “Mr. Moore and Mr. Saun were there to visit Cordelia, so
she asked us to keep thempany.”
“That’s all?” Dahlia asked.
“Yes, we just had a meal,” Ste answered, avoiding any mentions of Trevor gifting a car to her as a
token of gratitude, as the matter involved Aurora. She could not understand why Trevor had not
mentioned anything about Aurora when he came to thank her. But, she did not want to get herself into
any trouble, so she kept the question to herself.
Dahlia went straight to the point. “I heard Mrs. Chapman say that you’re pregnant. Is that why Cordelia
wanted to see you?”
Ste was taken aback. She had not expected Dahlia to call her for this.
“Mrs. Chapman probably misunderstood. I’m not pregnant,” Ste exined.
Dahlia did not seem to buy it. “Mrs. Chapman said you and Keegan both admitted that you were
pregnant. How can this be a misunderstanding?”
“When I said, ‘I will let everyone know when I have some good news,‘ Mrs. Chapman must have
misunderstood.” Ste tried to rify. However, she said in her mind, “There’s nothing to tell since there
won’t be any fucking good news!‘
Ste added, “Besides, how could we possibly hide such big news from you, Dahlia?”
“Maya said that you haven’t been taking the fertility drink on time recently. What happened?” Dahlia
continued her line of questioning.
As a mole nted by Dahlia, Maya was certainly useful. Any updates about Keegan and Ste would
quickly be reported to Dahlia.
Ste could only find herself an excuse. “A while ago, the hospital informed me that my mother was not
in good condition, so I apanied her in the hospital for a few days. During that time, I couldn’t take
the fertility drink on time, but I’ve been taking it regrly since I returned.”
Ste could not tell whether Dahlia believed her.
Dahlia pondered for a moment before she said, “I’ll pick you up tomorrow for a check–up.”
Ste’s temple twitched. “But, I just had a check–up two months ago. And, my period just ended. It’s
impossible for me to be pregnant.” She added silently to herself, ‘Keegan hasn’t even slept with me for
the past three months. The heck if I can get pregnant!‘
Dahlia said, “Even if you’re not pregnant, it won’t hurt to make sure that everything is okay. The doctor
previously mentioned that your uterine wall had poor sticity, and that you’ve been taking the fertility
drink for quite some time. It’s time to see if it made a difference.”
Ste desperately wanted to say, ‘Why don’t you take your son to the doctor instead? Maybe he’s the
one who is sick.‘ But, she held back and simply said, “Okay.”
Despite her reservations, Ste saw this as an opportunity. If the test results came back normal, she
could use it as leverage to convince Dahlia, and she could stop taking that fertility drink.
The smell of that fertility drink had always made Ste nauseous.
Just as Dahlia was about to end the call, she suddenly asked, “By the way, do you know why Keegan
locked Aurora in the bathroom all night? What could Aurora have done to make him so angry?”
Ste was taken aback and cautiously inquired, “Did you just say that Aurora was locked in the
bathroom overnight?”
