Mr. Kane Got Blacklisted

Stella whispered, "I was worried you're still upset with me."

Handing Trevor the breakfast, she asked, "Where’s Dad?" "Dad went to rest. He left around four. He should be here soon." "You've been here all night?"

Trevor opened the bag, taking a bite, "Gotta keep up appearances."

With over twenty years of being family, being too nonchalant could easily raise Darcie's suspicions.

Stella glanced at the dark circles under his eyes, feeling a pang of sympathy, 'There's a restaurant downstairs, grab a seat there and eat. I'll get you a bowl of soup."

Trevor waved it off. "I drank enough water last night."

Stella was speechless.

That sarcastic streak seemed to be a family trait.

Seeing it in Trevor made Stella realize how stubborn she used to be. Property of Nô)(velDr(a)ma.Org.

She couldn't help but laugh, "Trevor, did you scare off all your ex-girlfriends with that sarcasm?"

Trevor nodded. "Yep, those with thick skins like Keegan are rare."

Stella was rendered speechless once more.

In the end, Trevor did join Stella at the restaurant.

According to him, Jaylene was badly injured this time, scratches all over her neck and arms, and a bruise on her forehead.

Getting her to the hospital took some time, and now that she had just regained consciousness, she was very weak.

The police have taken statements, but Jaylene didn't accuse Dahlia of fraud; she focused on accusing Kanrara and Blake. She was not going to let them off.

Stella quickly deduced Jaylene's reasoning; she didn't dare accuse Dahlia for fear she might succeed, which wouldn't bode well with Keegan.

When Stella avoided Dahlia and indirectly led her to the company, she had thoughts of using her as a scapegoat. Although she thought it might not work, she didn't expect it to fail so spectacularly.

"Darcie isn't pursuing it? Jaylene looks terrible, yet she's not angry?"

Trevor finished his porridge and looked up. "Angry? Why wouldn't she be? But in this world, when it comes to parents who care about their children, who can resist them? Darcie's no exception, and fraud requires evidence; Dahlia's at most borrowing money and not returning it."

Stella stirred the porridge for a moment, then said, "She's getting off easy."

Trevor raised his gaze. "We could sue her for poisoning."

Setting down the spoon, Stella replied, "Trevor, after I divorced Keegan, I consulted a lawyer. Dahlia's prescription did contain some abortifacient drugs, but overall, it was a tonic. There's no evidence to prove that taking this prescription would lead to infertility. Traditional Chinese medicine is different from Western medicine; its toxic effects aren't easily detectable. Unless we conduct experiments ourselves to prove that this prescription does indeed cause infertility after consumption, we don’t have a case. I mean who would want to be a test subject?

"Plus, because of my previous injuries from the car accident, if the other party's lawyer keeps harping on this point, I won't win the case. And now that I'm pregnant, it's even less convincing."

Trevor fell silent for a moment and asked, "Is it because of Keegan that you don't want to sue?"

Stella smiled. "Trevor, why would you think that? It's because I didn’t sue that Keegan feels guilty toward me."

Trevor was taken aback.

Stella continued calmly, "Knowing that I wouldn't win if I sued, the one who'd bear the bad reputation would be me. But by not suing, Keegan knows the injustice I've suffered. When he faces Dahlia, he won't be so hesitant. The reason I’m not suing her is because at Olivia's daughter's wedding, I have a plan. If I don’t let him know the malicious intentions of his mother toward his loved ones, he'll always remember that tiny bit of favor for giving birth to him. Because of that, he won't have the heart to hurt her, so I’m giving him a little push."
