Mr. Kane Got cklisted By Eleven Jewell Chapter 169
Chapter 169
His voice was getting smaller as he continued, and in the end, he shut up.
‘Alright, who knew I woulde up with such a crappy idea?’ Vermont thought. As he was thinking,
Ste returned.
Vermont knew how to read the room and immediately said, “Mrs. Kane, I have some business at my
company and will be leaving first. You take good care of Keegan. If anything happens, you can call me
anytime.”
Keegan gave him a sidelong nce and then said, “How unfitting of you to leave empty. You can take
the fruit basket with you.”
“I’m not the patient. Why should I eat the fruits

“Vermont cut himself off. He suddenly
realized that Keegan was not letting him bring the fruits with him. This fellow was just using another
way to subtly hint that Vermont hade empty-handed.
“I won’t be taking the fruit basket. Mrs. Kane, you should keep this card. There are 500 thousand
dors in it. It’s the payment that I promised you. The extra will be counted aspensation for
Keegan’s lostbor and reparations for your mental health since both of you had to encounter such a
terrible incident because of me.”
Ste looked at it but did not ept it. “My husband’s daily ie is quite high. It would take at least a
week’s rest after his elbow had suffered such a hit, right, hubby?” She was implying that more money is
needed.
Keegan was pleased by her calling him hubby and lifted his gaze slowly to look at Vermont. “It depends
on the recovery of the injury. At a minimum, a week while at most, half a month.”
Ste then gave an ‘I told you so’ look at Vermont. Vermont’s lips twitched. These two were definitely
made for each other. Under these circumstances, they can still join together to scam him out of his
money. To think that he wanted to help Keegan before this. Where did he need his help? Both husband
and wife have already reconciled, and the first person they want to deal with is him.
Actually, Ste did not want to screw him over on purpose. She was slightly resentful of Vermont. He
was at the scenest night; how could he watch Keegan be shed by someone like that? Hence, she
made him lose a bit of money, or else she would not be able to swallow her anger.
Based on Keegan’s stance, if he did not lose this bit of money, he would probably make him pay it back
in double. Vermont had always been sensible, so he quickly admitted defeat. He immediately signed a
two-million-dor check and gave it to Ste. “It was thoughtless of me, Mrs. Kane. You can keep the
check and cash it in at any bank in Rivera. This should be enough for your husband’s lost wages,
right?”
Ste took the check and grabbed the card he had given previously. “Although it’s stillcking, we’re
friends. This should be enough. Being too calctive would hurt our rtionship.”
Vermont was at a loss for words. ‘Just die in chains, you stingy wife and husband!’ He cursed in his
head.
After Vermont left, Keegan said, “Two million and five hundred thousand doesn’t sound good.

Ste initially thought Keegan wasining that she was too greedy for taking the check and the
card. The next second, she heard him say, “You should have gotten five million in total.”
Ste was speechless. She definitely had thought of Keegan too kindly, but he was actually even more
ruthless than she was. Keegan said casually, “He got the bracelet for less than 20 million.”
Ste, at that moment, felt that Vermont was the most wicked person they knew!
“Never mind, since it is a windfall” Ste then gave the check to Keegan. “I’ll have the bank card, and
I’ll give you the check.”
Keegan did not ept it and looked at the left side of her face. He furrowed his brows. “What’s wrong
with your face?”
When Ste entered, the right side of her face was always facing him, so he did not notice it. When she
passed the check, she turned her whole body around, and the handprint on her left cheek became
more evident. Ste pulled some of the hair on her left side to block the handprint and said softly,
“Nothing’s wrong.”
