Mr. Kane Got Blacklisted

Chapter 957

Marshall was known to be a friendly person, and a lot of people greeted him as soon as he entered thevenue.

Inevitably, they also asked about Stella.

Marshall introduced her to them, and of course, as Celeste Thompson.

Stella’s face was going numb after constantly smiling.

Suddenly, she thought about attending banquets like this with Keegan. Keegan was like a walkingiceberg, especially when he ran into people he was not familiar with. Even though many people wouldgreet him, he would always keep a cold face. So, those people would awkwardly walk away aftergreeting him, which reduced her social obligations.

She used to think that Keegan was very unfriendly for doing that. But now, she realized that whatKeegan did was push away a lot of meaningless social interactions.

The wedding venue was decorated in a very romantic way as all the flowers used there were all real.That alone was already extremely luxurious.

Her wedding with Keegan was decorated with real flowers too, and even the wedding favors were apair of customized bracelets made of African Sandalwood that cost several thousand.

By right, wedding favors were supposed to be prepared by both parties. However, Keegan was verybusy with work, and Dahlia was not very supportive of their marriage whereas Cordelia was too old tobe handling hassles like this. So, the Kane family offered a very high dowry because they wanted theJewell family to take care of everything.

Albert was naturally very happy to do so. However, the wedding favors that he prepared were justsome candies and chocolates. The most expensive thing that he prepared was the two boxes of

Cohiba.

Everyone only found out what Albert prepared a day before the wedding when Stella and Keegan wentto the wedding venue for a rehearsal. Even though Cordelia did not say anything about it at that time,her expression revealed some dissatisfaction.

Albert even boasted about how thoughtful his wedding favors were. Stella felt very embarrassedbecause she had no say at all in the Jewell family.

Cordelia asked for Keegan’s opinion, and Keegan said that he was fine with that. However, he gotsomeone to buy some new gifts the day after without telling Albert about it.

The next day during the wedding, Albert saw what Keegan prepared and his face turned very upset.novelbin

Stella used to think that Keegan only did that to show off. At the time, she figured that he would not bebothered by things like this as he was someone who did not even care to celebrate his own birthday.However, she now realized that everything he did was for her.

Perhaps Keegan did not like her back then, but he showed everyone the respect and dignity shedeserved as his wife.

She used to always say that Keegan’s face was what attracted her, but in fact, his values were whattouched her the most.

Of course, his face played a big part too.

And his body.

And his voice.

When he was not being mean.

“Ste-Celeste, have a seat.”

Marshall called out to her. ‘Sure.” Stella recollected herself and responded. She went around the chairthat Marshall had pulled out from the table for her and sat beside him.

After a while, Carter and his wife arrived and sat opposite them.

Marshall casually chatted with Carter as the other guests arrived one after another.

Vermont came very soon after that. His eyes sparkled as soon as she saw Marshall sitting next to alady, “Not single anymore, huh?”

Stella avoided eye contact with him by drinking some water.

Vermont was too much of a playful person, and she was worried that he would start messing things upif he recognized her.

Marshall smiled faintly without saying anything.

“Aren’t you going to introduce her to me?’ Vermont asked.

He lowered his jaw and asked, “What’s her name?”

Marshall answered, “You can call her Miss Thompson.”

“Thompson?” Vermont became interested. “I know someone named Thompson too. She couldn’t berelated to her, right?”

Stella pursed her lips.

In fact, they were related and living under the same roof.

Marshall then spoke for her. “I guess not. She’s a local, and I remember that Felicity is not from aroundhere.”
