Mr. Kane Got cklisted By Eleven Jewell Chapter 248
Chapter 248
There was a photograph of the two on Keegan’s desk.
In the photograph, Keegan wore a suit as he sat in a chair, while Ste stood beside him in a red dress.
The man had an icy expression, while the woman had an alluring smile.
It was taken during the break time of their wedding photo shoot back then. The photographer thought
the two made a beautiful scene, so he took a photo of them doing these poses.
The finished product looked good. It was also Ste’s favorite photo. This photo was also the huge
wedding photo framed on the wall of their living room.
Ste even deliberately developed a smaller copy and had it framed into a photo frame. Then, she sent
it to Keegan’s office. After Aldor signed the parcel, he ced the photo on Keegan’s desk.
What Ste was currently drawing was that photo of them.
However, Ste drew herself beautifully, while the ce Keegan stood had a dog. Besides that, Ste
had a dog leash in her hand.
“What’re you drawing?” the man’s icy voice sounded above her head.
Ste replied in a serious voice, “A self-portrait. Does it look alike?”
Keegan gritted his teeth, “And the dog?”

Ste looked away a little guiltily, “I drew it on a whim. Since you don’t allow me to have a pet. dog,
you’re not even allowing me to draw one?”
‘Ste had been to drawing sses before. Since Rainee had always been very attentive to her
education, Ste had attended various sses in her childhood, such as drawing, dancing, piano, and
flute. She had even gone to harp sses for two years. While she did notst long in her sses, she
has great talent. She’s considered a jack of all trades, a master of none. For instance, professionals
may find her current drawing passable at most, but an average person would find it incredibly
picturesque. The dog in the drawing, in particr, has a look that.pletely resembles me! How
could I possibly believe her bullshit?!’ he thought.
Marshall walked over when he saw the two “discussing” Ste’s drawing. He nced at it and blurted,
“Why does the dog look so much like Keegan?”
“Does it?” Ste denied it. “I don’t think it does. The dog isn’t as good-looking as Mr. Kane.”
Keegan was speechless.
Marshall noticed the odd atmosphere between the two, so he chuckled and said, “This is a pretty good
drawing.”
Ste smiled with her eyes, “See? Even Mr. Moore says it’s good. Do you want to frame it? This
drawing will be worth a lot of money if my worth multiplies someday.”
She said as she signed her name and the bottom right corner of the drawing.
“One and only.”
Keegan twitched the corner of his lips.
“I’m afraid I won’t be able to see that day in my lifetime,” he said.
Ste cursed him internally.
‘Bad-mouthed bastard,’ she thought.
Then, she turned to Marshall, “Mr. Moore, are you two done talking?”
Marshall nodded.
“Then have lunch with me. I…” Ste paused momentarily and continued, “My husband’s treat.”
Keegan was at a loss for words. Since Ste had already said so, he obviously could not refuse. Just
as the three walked out of the office, they bumped into Sophia.
She was holding a fruit tter and heading in their direction. When she saw them, she froze and
immediately smiled, “Ste, Mr. Kane, Mr. Moore. Are you all leaving?”
Ste sized her up.
‘Just now, when Sophia got shoved by Maya downstairs, her knees smashed onto the ground. Her
injury must be pretty serious, but she can still smile and bring us a fruit tter. I’ve really
underestimated my little sister,’ she thought.
Marshall had never met Sophia, so he asked, “And this is…”
”
Before Ste could speak, Sophia introduced herself in her stead, “Hello, Mr. Moore. My name’s
Sophia. We met at the jewelry exhibition two days ago, but you probably don’t remember me. Mr. Kane
is my brother-inw, and Ste is my sister. I’m also ssmates with Aurora, and I often hear her
mention you.”
Marshall nodded and grunted. However, he did not answer, perhaps because he was not familiar with
Sophia.
Sophia felt a little awkward. Then she said, “Keegan, this fruit tter is freshly cut. I’ll pack it up, and
then you guys can eat it on the way. Mr. Hart said you didn’t have anything for breakfast.”
Ste raised an eyebrow.
Suddenly, she asked, “Sophia, what’s your work position in thepany?”
Sophia could notpute her words and answered out of reflex, “Operations Assistant.”
“If you didn’t say so, I would’ve thought you were a teady,” Ste said indifferently. She continued,
“Dad called me yesterday. He told me to tell my husband to take care of you. If you like being a tea
lady, why don’t I ask him to transfer you to the pantry?”
Sophia twitched the corner of her lips and forced a smile, “Ste, I was just helping someone bring
these over since it was on the way.”

‘Does she think I don’t know which floor thepany’s operations department is on? At least your lie
believable! Albert is very attentive to her. He put aside his pride and asked me for a favor for the sake
of Sophia’s job. It’s a shame she’s a disappointment,’ Ste thought. However, Ste was not bothered
to expose her lie, so she said coolly, “Dad is worried sick
because of your job. So put more effort into your job, and don’t let his good intentions go to
waste.”
Sophia clenched her fists as her expression changed. Finally, then, she muttered, “I understand,
Ste.”
After exiting thepany building and getting into the car, Marshall said, “Your sister doesn’t look quite
like you.”
“She’s not my biological sister,” Ste answered calmly. “My parents adopted her.”
Marshall did not ask any more questions.
Ste asked, “Do you think I speak to her in a mean tone?”
Meanwhile, Keegan seemed to have found an opportunity to deride her finally. He nced at her and
said icily, “Aren’t you always mean?”
Ste was speechless.
‘Bastard! I’m not asking him, so why did he fucking cut in?!’ she thought.
Marshallughed and thought for a while.
“If some person appears in my life out of nowhere and takes away half of my parent’s love and the
things that should’ve belonged to me, I probably wouldn’t be able to be magnanimous either. However,
I wouldn’t make it as obvious as you did, it could easily lead to others criticizing me.
‘He’s a pro. I suffered many losses from Sophia before I finally figured this out, but Marshall caught on
immediately. People like Sophia are the best at pretending to be weak. However, I made my dislike
toward Sophia way too obvious, so Albert would always think that I was bullying Sophia. Every time we
fight, Sophia’s always the one who gains benefits no matter what I say. It’s not always good to be
blindly aggressive, sometimes, there’s the need to y little mind games,’ thought Ste.
Ste modestly asked Marshall for advice.
The two discussed away as if they were the only ones there. Meanwhile, Aldor watched as his boss’s
expression gradually darkened.
“This is for the sake of the Kane family’s harmony and for the sake of me working lesser overtime,
thought Aldor.
He coughed and interrupted their conversation, “Mr. Moore, what would you like to eat?”
