    Mr. Kane Got cklisted Chapter 1646 [Eleven Jewell]


    So, Arthur said in a gentle tone, “Would you buy a pack of Doral then?”


    Marshall had never heard of that cigarette brand, but he agreed anyway, “Sure.”


    He grabbed his jacket, turned to Ste, and asked, “Ste, do you want anything?”


    Ste shook her head, “No, thank you.”


    Her tone sounded polite but somewhat distant. There was a clear hint of disappointment in Marshall’s


    eyes as he spoke softly, “All right. I’ll be back in a minute.”


    “Mhm,” Ste responded.


    After Marshall left, Arthur said to Ste, “Ste, stop working ande sit with me for a while.”


    Ste wiped her hands and walked over, feeling somewhat nervous. Arthur patted the doorstep and said,


    “Come, sit here.”


    Then, Ste sat down next to Arthur.


    “What happened to that kid from the Kane family? Did you guys get into a fight?”


    Ste initially thought Arthur would ask her about Albert. But to her surprise, he asked about Keegan


    instead.


    Aftering down from the mountain, Ste had been trying hard to hide her emotions. However,


    Arthur’s question caught her off guard, and her tears began flowing.


    Arthur had lived so long and could easily see that something was wrong.


    When Marshall brought Ste, who was having a fever, over to his house, he had already guessed that


    something was not right. But he just did not expect things to be that way.


    He reached out and wiped away Ste’s tears gently, “It’s okay, dear. Crying can make you feel better.”


    This is from N?velDrama.Org.


    However, Ste did not cry for long. She wiped away her tears and spoke hoarsely, “Great Grandpa, I’m


    leaving tomorrow. Keegan hasn’t returned, and I’ve got to protect his hard work and his family. I can’t


    stay here for too long.”


    Arthur nodded and patted the back of her hand, “I’ll take you to the bus station tomorrow then.”


    Ste lowered her gaze and said after a long pause, “Great Grandpa, I’m not a descendant of the Jewell


    family. I’m not biologically rted to Albert Jewell.”


    As Albert’s grandfather, it was impossible for him not to know about what had happened to Albert. So,


    Ste guessed that he was probably unaware she was not Albert’s daughterjudging from how well he


    treated her.


    Arthur was the only person who treated her genuinely in the Jewell family, so she did not want to hide the


    truth from him.


    Arthur kept quiet, and the atmosphere turned heavy. Ste had mentally prepared herself for what was


    about to happen.


    She figured that Arthur would not scold her, but he would be very disappointed.


    After a long pause, Arthur finally spoke, “Are you saying that you won’te here anymore? You won’t


    visit this old man ever again since we’re not biologically rted, is that right?”


    Ste was taken aback and immediately denied it, “Of course not. I just think I’m in no ce to make you


    treat me so well anymore.”


    She figured Arthur only treated her so well because they were biologically rted. Since it was proven


    that they were not rted at all, she dared not take advantage of Arthur’s affection anymore.


    Then, Arthur said, “Actually, whether you’re Albert’s daughter or not has nothing to do with me.” Ste


    was puzzled. ‘What does he mean?’ she wondered to herself.


    Then, Arthur started talking about the past.


    He was not originally from Jorgeville. He and Ste’s greatgrandmother, Evelyn Thornfield, were from out


    of town.


    They had known each other since childhood. Arthur’s family was very poor, so he joined the army just to


    feed himself, which took him away for three years.


    When he returned, he had saved some money. Although he could not be considered rich, it was enough


    for him to start a family in his hometown.
