Mr. Kane Got Blacklisted By Eleven Jewell Chapter 127

Chapter 127

As soon as Stella came out of the shower, she received a phone call from Felicity.

Felicity’s excited voice rang through the phone “Stella, they accepted my script!” She exclaimed.

“Wow, that was fast!” Stella was surprised.

Despite having only revised the manuscript the day before, Felicity’s submission had already beenaccepted without a hitch.

“I know, right?” Felicity replied. “I thought they’d ask for revisions when I submitted it this morning, butthey just called to say they accepted it and want me to sign the contract next week.”

Stella secured her damp hair with a claw 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 arounda million.”

“And, will you be the screenwriter if the drama is filmed?” Stella continued.

Felicity explained, “Unfortunately, film production companies tend to hold onto the copyrights beforethey make any decisions. As for when it will be filmed, it can be unpredictable and often depends onavailability. 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 afterthe copyright has expired. So, I shouldn’t count on being its screenwriter.”

Stella was a little disappointed.

Felicity, on the other hand, remained optimistic. “Getting it sold is a huge step forward. I’m young andnot in a rush. Someday, the dramas of the scripts I write will be broadcasted on major TV channels!”

Stella’s smile returned. “And, when that day comes, hot actors and actresses, as well as award winningtalents, 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 evenKeegan would want to impress.”

Stella’s grin vanished. “Don’t mention him. I’m still mad at him.”

Felicity picked up on Stella’s tone and softly asked, “Did you two have another argument?”

Feeling wronged, Stella could not hold back and shared the details of what had happened with Felicity.

After relating the story, Stella added, “Is he really upset about a pair of socks? I don’t think so. He wasjust trying to pick a fight with me. I was so foolish. Why did I even buy him those socks in the first place,just for him to find fault with me?”

“Wait a minute,” Felicity interjected. “Did you say the lawyer I introduced you to is Keegan’s childhoodfriend and the good–looking guy who helped you last time?”

Stella nodded. “Small world, right?”

Felicity was quiet for a moment and then asked, “So, you gave Keegan’s socks to his childhoodfriend?”

Stella 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 evenlike me. Why would he be jealous? He was just looking for an excuse to start a fight! I bet he wasunhappy at the thought of having to split his wealth with me after our divorce, so he is deliberatelymessing with me!”

Before Felicity wanted to say something, Stella received another phone call.

“It’s Keegan’s mom. I’ll have to answer it. Let’s catch up soon.” Stella quickly hang up Felicity’s call andtook 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?” Stella’s eyebrows lowered in confusion. “What do you need?”

“Did you and Keegan visit Cordelia today?” Dahlia asked.

It did not surprise Stella that Dahlia knew their whereabouts since Dahlia had many people at the Kaneresidence to keep her informed.

So, Stella did not dare to keep it from Dahlia. “Mr. Moore and Mr. Saun were there to visit Cordelia, soshe asked us to keep them company.”

“That’s all?” Dahlia asked.

“Yes, we just had a meal,” Stella answered, avoiding any mentions of Trevor gifting a car to her as atoken of gratitude, as the matter involved Aurora. She could not understand why Trevor had notmentioned anything about Aurora when he came to thank her. But, she did not want to get herself intoany 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 Cordeliawanted to see you?”

Stella was taken aback. She had not expected Dahlia to call her for this.

“Mrs. Chapman probably misunderstood. I’m not pregnant,” Stella explained.

Dahlia did not seem to buy it. “Mrs. Chapman said you and Keegan both admitted that you werepregnant. How can this be a misunderstanding?”

“When I said, ‘I will let everyone know when I have some good news,‘ Mrs. Chapman must havemisunderstood.” Stella tried to clarify. However, she said in her mind, “There’s nothing to tell since therewon’t be any fucking good news!‘

Stella 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?” Dahliacontinued her line of questioning.

As a mole planted by Dahlia, Maya was certainly useful. Any updates about Keegan and Stella wouldquickly be reported to Dahlia.

Stella could only find herself an excuse. “A while ago, the hospital informed me that my mother was notin good condition, so I accompanied her in the hospital for a few days. During that time, I couldn’t takethe fertility drink on time, but I’ve been taking it regularly since I returned.”

Stella could not tell whether Dahlia believed her.novelbin

Dahlia pondered for a moment before she said, “I’ll pick you up tomorrow for a check–up.”

Stella’s temple twitched. “But, I just had a check–up two months ago. And, my period just ended. It’simpossible for me to be pregnant.” She added silently to herself, ‘Keegan hasn’t even slept with me forthe 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 doctorpreviously mentioned that your uterine wall had poor elasticity, and that you’ve been taking the fertilitydrink for quite some time. It’s time to see if it made a difference.”

Stella desperately wanted to say, ‘Why don’t you take your son to the doctor instead? Maybe he’s theone who is sick.‘ But, she held back and simply said, “Okay.”

Despite her reservations, Stella saw this as an opportunity. If the test results came back normal, shecould use it as leverage to convince Dahlia, and she could stop taking that fertility drink.

The smell of that fertility drink had always made Stella nauseous.

Just as Dahlia was about to end the call, she suddenly asked, “By the way, do you know why Keeganlocked Aurora in the bathroom all night? What could Aurora have done to make him so angry?”

Stella was taken aback and cautiously inquired, “Did you just say that Aurora was locked in thebathroom overnight?”
