Mr. Kane Got Blacklisted By Eleven Jewell Chapter 4

Chapter 4

“Ah, Mr. Kane? Mr. Kane is still, still not awake yet,” Maya stammered. “Then go to the bedroom andwake him up!” Stella was getting a little annoyed. The other side of the call went silent for a while. A lowvoice of a man came through, “What’s wrong?” The question was asked too naturally. Even his voicestill had the hoarseness of someone who had just been woken up. For a moment, Stella thought thatshe was assuming the worst in others. She pursed her lips and took a deep breath. “After a few days, Iwill send you a checklist written with all the placements for all your clothes. I hope you don’t call me forsuch trivial matters again in the future!” “Trivial?” Keegan scorned, “Stella Jewell, aren’t these trivialmatters your favorite things to do? You wanted to control what underwear I wore. Isn’t this what youaspire for in life?” Stella felt suffocated, and she suddenly gripped her fingers. Her heart was denselypacked with pain. She knew early on that the Stella in his eyes was different from what she heardherself. Even the hardest of hearts, when being insulted this way, could not remain impervious. Asilence came from the phone call. No one said a thing. After a long while, Stella said with a mutedvoice, “It’s quite unaspiring, so I won’t be bothered with it in the future. You just sign the paper, and wecan both make this quick.” The subject went back to the divorce. The rage that had just dissipated inKeegan flared up again, “Haven’t you made enough trouble?” Stella gave a low chuckle, feeling a slightirony. “I don’t even have the right to make trouble now?” “Don’t regret this!” After dumping those wordsout, Keegan hung up. Stella tugged at the corner of her lips. Her presumptuous consideration anddedication were just jokes to be scoffed at in his eyes. Maybe when she meticulously prepared hisoutfits for different occasions, he stood behind her while looking at her with a gaze of contempt. ‘Whatcould a woman who would only eat three meals every day and only put the effort in everyday expensesbe able to bring to the table?’ Stella thought to herself. Even she felt that she was being belittled. “M-Mr. Kane, are you still going to wear this piece?” Maya asked warily. It was not uncommon for her tosee the two of them in a fight in the past. However, this time, it was particularly severe. She had neverseen Keegan having such a tantrum that he even spoke so harshly. Keegan sullenly scanned throughthe wardrobe. Inside Stella’s wardrobe, there were mostly Stella’s clothes. ‘Even when she wants tonovelbin

divorce, she can’t even do it properly. Is this what a divorce looks like?’ Keegan thought. He then coldlytugged at the corner of his lips and casually said, “Just get the set that she said.” Once he said that, hisphone rang. He took out his phone and turned around to walk while he answered the phone. “Mr. Kane,something happened to Ms. Young.” The number of victims increased to 11 people for the massive pile-up incident at the overpass, and the other nine people were missing. More than 60 people had differentdegrees of injuries. It was one of the rarest and largest traffic accidents Rivera had ever seen in twentyyears. The accident occurred more than 24 hours ago. The recovery operation of Silk River was stillongoing. The citizens of the whole nation followed this incident attentively and prayed that there werestill survivors. However, Bella’s fans were fighting tooth and nail with anonymous users online. Thereason was that someone had posted a video about the site of the incident. Bella came out of thevehicle with all her limbs intact and was carried by people onto the first aid stretcher. Yet, on the scene,there were still many people covered in blood and still did not get any effective aid. This type ofcomparison was too obvious. A portion of the netizens voiced their suspicions. “Why were the peoplewith minor injuries getting aid first compared to the ones that were severely injured? Is this an abuse ofcelebrity privilege?” Bella’s fans were immediately unhappy with them. They directly branded theskeptics as haters and then reported and complained. They spammed comments to the point ofcausing repulsion among anonymous netizens. This sparked a harsh counterattack from theanonymous netizens. A detailed analysis was done on the investigation of the story behind the trafficaccident; The “grand actions” of Bella’s team, the use of the incident to sensationalize a romance onpurpose, the indulgence of the fans for spamming under the official mourning page to take advantageof the misfortune, and the abuse of privileges at the rescue scene. Some even dug out that beforeBella became famous, she was suspected of being someone’s mistress… The degree of intensitycaused it to directly arrive at the top of the trending searches. Felicity gave a cold chuckle and said toStella, “Didn’t she like to hype stuff up? This time she hyped up to the point of bringing her housedown!” Stella stared at the screen and muttered, “Why do I feel like the account that disclosed thisseems so familiar?” Felicity’s body froze. “There are many people who use this profile picture. It’s notodd that it looks familiar.” As she said that, she switched the subject. “What’s your plan for

today?” Stella lifted her head. “I’ll first go to Neon Nebula for the voice acting audition. Then, I’m goingto get a car. Want to come with?” “I will be out in the field today, so it wouldn’t be convenient,” Felicitysaid, glancing at the time. “It’s almost time. I need to go. We’ll talk after work.” After Felicity left, Stellafreshened up and then went out. Neon Nebula was a gaming company. They were on a fierce risethese few years. “Honor of the Deities” was a mobile game that they planned to launch this year in thesummer. The voiceover for other characters was already done earlier. Only the voiceover for Vixen wasleft and had not been finalized. The director wanted a type of voice that was able to switch betweenpure yet not delicate and sultry yet not lustful. However, after trying out all the voice actors, they weremore or less lacking. The director posted on his social media, “A vixen is hard to find.” This resulted innumerous netizens’ comments. The top five hottest comments were all recommending Dusk Galaxy.The director searched for the person’s work and then contacted her. When Stella appeared in thelobby, the reception lady was in the group for Shady Galaxy. She was dissing Dusk Galaxy with all thehaters. She did not really understand Dusk Galaxy, but she was Bella’s drama fan. After the hit show“Secret Sweetheart” played, there were a few times that the drama had gone up the trending searchesdue to the female lead lines and acting. In the eyes of the normal passerby, Bella’s acting in the wholedrama was saved by the voiceover. However, in the eyes of Bella’s fans, it was obvious that DuskGalaxy was here to jump on Bella’s popularity. Someone in the group had just sent a real photo thatwas suspected to be Dusk Galaxy. The receptionist mocked her with everyone and called her dark andugly. Suddenly, a clear voice of a woman sounded in her ear, “Hello there, how do I get to the auditionbooth?” “Seven…” The receptionist lifted her head. The next second, she froze and blurted out, “Thecelebrity application is next door.” Next door to Neon Nebula is Green Hill Media. The boss of GreenHill Media is Keegan’s childhood friend, Vermont Snyder. Bella is Green Hill Media’s artist. Stella’sappearance was too spectacular. Even while wearing a plain white shirt, her gorgeous features couldnot be ignored. Standing there, she made everyone seem like a backdrop. The receptionist instinctivelythought that she was applying to be an artist. Stella laughed and explained, “I’m here for a voice-actingaudition. May I know how can I reach the audition booth?” “S-Seventh floor,” the receptionist said.‘Wait! There’s only one artist auditioning today…’ the reception remembered. “Thanks,” Stella

answered. Until she disappeared, the receptionist was stunned for a few minutes. Then, she picked upher phone and typed out a sentence. “I just saw Dusk Galaxy.” “Really? Is she the same as the picture;dark, ugly, and fat?” One of them asked. The receptionist typed the following sentence with difficulty.“No… she is too beautiful. Bella is not as beautiful as her.”
