Mr. Kane Got cklisted Chapter 1547 [Eleven Jewell]
‘Keegan hadpleted his postgraduate studies. Even though he didn’t pursue a Ph.D., he did spend a
year studying
abroad at a prestigious institution… It’s true that Keegancks conversational skills. But, even so, his
tongue can be quite
sharp. As for kind-hearted?’
Ste pondered for a moment. Before she officially met Keegan, Wenham had visited their home under
the pretext of
seeing Luna. There, he encountered Keegan, who managed to keep Wenham standing for a solid twenty
minutes with a
nt board.
‘Well, being kind-hearted isn’t exactly Keegan’s strong suit.’
Ste struggled to find any strong arguments in his favor considering these aspects.
Wenham’s friend could not help but wonder, “With all these points against him, why did you agree to let
your child date
him?”
Wenham waved a hand dismissively. “It’s not like he doesn’t have any merits. He’s reasonably good-
looking and on par
with Trevor. He runs a sessful chip-makingpany, which is no small feat. While he’s not overly
talkative, he’s sharp minded. Did you see the robot I posted on my Twitter recently? He built it and gave
it to me. Although, I can’t say it’s my
cup of tea.”
Ste was stunned to hear that. Keegan never mentioned gifting Wenham a robot. She only found out
about it through
Wenham’s social media ount.
Before knowing that Wenham was her father, she even considered selling Luna to him to help Keegan’s
business. She
had forgotten about this, but Keegan did not. As soon as the upgraded version was ready, he promptly
sent one to
Wenham.
He was evidently putting in considerable effort to maintain a favorable image in the eyes of his father-in-
law. And, from the
looks of it, it seemed to be working to some extent.
Although Wenham appeared outwardly disdainful, there was an undertone of smugness in his voice. His
friends, who had
witnessed this change, immediately chimed in and jested,” Oh, you old rascal. You’ve bragged about
your daughter, and
now you’re bragging about your son-inw!”
“You really shouldn’t have asked. Look at how proud he is!” one of them said to the person who asked
about Ste’s
partner.
“Who do you think you’re fooling? You say you’re not fond of the robot, yet you post it every day on your
socials. Give it to
me if you don’t like it.”
Darcie listened to the conversation without much expression. She then turned to Ste and asked,
“Ste, did you find out
long ago that the design was stolen? Is today’s productunch event part of a calcted publicity stunt?”
Ste offered a faintugh. “Of course not, Mrs. Saun. I wouldn’t use giarism for a publicity stunt. The
consequences are beyond my control if it were to backfire.
“I understand your concern about The Velvet’s reputation. After all, you built it from the ground up. Even
though you’re no

longer directly involved, it’s still a brand you hold dear. I’ve already reported the matter to the police. We
will
uncover who leaked our designs. Please rest assured, The Velvet’s reputation won’t suffer on my watch.
I won’t tolerate
anyone, regardless of who they are,” she added.
Darcie gazed at her for a moment and offered a smile.” That’s good to hear,” she said.
After bidding farewell to the elders, Ste went to search for Keegan.
Jaylene observed her as she walked over, and Keegan’s once icy demeanor quickly softened. Her
fingers instinctively
tightened when she saw that.
Upon returning to her seat, Ste assessed Keegan while suppressing a smile.
Keegan, who was slightly unnerved by her scrutinizing gaze, could not help but ask, “What’s with the
intense stare?”
Ste patted his hand and whispered, “My dad was just talking about you with his friends. Do you want to
know what he
said?”
Keegan’s ears perked up, and he nced at her, feigning indifference. “Well, I don’t mind knowing.”
Ste cleared her throat. “My dad said that you don’t have a higher education. You’re sharp-tongued and
malicious at
heart. He also said you don’t respect your elders and behave like a spoiled brat. He also mentioned how
you have a
resting bitch face.”
Keegan could not believe what he was hearing.
