Chapter 2426
Mr. Kane Got Blacklisted Chapter 2426 - Keegan didn't say much. He figured that with all the chaos, Wenham must have known something. Trevor's silence wasn't just about the reasons he gave he probably had some resentment about Wenham marrying Darcie, who was a murderer.
Wenham called Keegan, but he didn't say much. He just asked if everyone was busy since they hadn't eaten together in a while. Stella was busy, and so was Trevor.
Keegan explained that Stella was tied up with a competition, and Trevor was dealing with Leighton's contract termination.
Wenham was quiet for a while, and just as Keegan was about to hang up, Wenham asked, "Are you still in touch with your mother?"
Keegan knew about Wenham's past from Trevor. He thought Wenham might be worried about him not being able to let go of Dahlia and giving her a chance to hurt Stella again.
Keegan replied, "She's living in my father's old house. I send her alimony every month, which is enough for her to live on. We don't have any other contact."
Their relationship was pretty much over. Dahlia had betrayed him, and he wasn't going to dwell on it. He'd focus on being a better parent to his own children. His only obligation to Dahlia was legal, nothing more. Wenham then asked, "What if she were terminally ill? Would you forgive her?"
Keegan thought for a moment and said, "Apart from covering medical costs, I can't give her more than she gave me."
Dahlia kept trying to reach out to Keegan, but he ignored her calls. If something needed handling, he sent someone else. He wouldn't let her get close to him or the people he loved.
Wenham was silent for a bit before hanging up.
Keegan thought their situations were different. While both lost their fathers young, Wenham's mother wasn't as selfish as Dahlia. She raised Wenham alone and protected the family business, though she was tough and controlling. She loved Wenham deeply.
Before she died, she forced Wenham to marry Darcie because she worried no one would care for him after she was gone. Darcie exploited this, presenting herself as the perfect wife and achieving her goal. Keegan felt lucky he ended his unhealthy family ties in time. He couldn't imagine what might have happened to him and Stella otherwise.
When Stella came home that night, she told Keegan about her day's events. She made it sound thrilling, and even though Keegan already knew from Trevor, he listened closely.
"Darcie's scary. She's already testing

reacted quickly, I would've been caught!"
Stella's mouth was dry from talking so much, so Keegan handed her a glass of water, smiling. "You handled it well."
Stella downplayed her actions, saying, "No, it's all because of Professor Kane's good guidance."
She took a couple of sips and then asked, "Have they finished the sketch of the guy Wren mentioned?"
Keegan nodded, grabbed his tablet,
and showed her a picture. "They sent it to me at noonel've asked a friend to compare it with the database, but noContent rights belong to NôvelDrama.Org.
