Mr. Kane Got Blacklisted

Chapter 92

The air was frozen for a few seconds. Even Vermont, who had a silver tongue in resolving awkward social settings, was at a loss for words.

Marshall’s new girlfriend is Keegan’s wife? Vermont thought. This is too dramatic even for TV shows!

“My wife is. “Keegan gave Stella a cold glare, and his eyes were fixated on her hand that was clinging to Marshall’s arm. Keegan forced a smile and continued, “Maybe we should ask Ms. Thompson when is she available to play the role of my wife.”

Stella quietly let go of Marshall’s arm and took a step back to put some distance between them. Marshall gave her a puzzled look.

Before Stella could explain herself, Keegan’s arm reached around her waist and forcefully pulled her into his embrace.

His motions were merciless. Harshly stifling her waist, he lowered to the side of her ear and asked through his gritted teeth, “Should I address you as Mrs. Kane or Ms. Thompson?”

Stella was uncertain if it was just a misconception, but she felt like Keegan was being possessive toward her. It was as though he wanted to proclaim his dominance.

“Keegan, what are you talking about?” Marshall furrowed his eyebrows.

Keegan kept his hand on Stella’s waist with sneering eyes. “Stella, introduce your husband to your boyfriend properly.”

“What boyfriend?” Stella pushed Keegan away, as she was not able to withstand the pain he caused on her waist. “What is wrong with you, Keegan Kane?”

“I should be the one asking you that!” Keegan replied with fury in his eyes. “Stella Jewell, for three years, your name was next to mine on our marriage certificate. How come I never knew that your last name was Thompson?”

Stella choked on her reply. This was a tough one to explain.

There is no way for me to confess that I gave Marshall a fake name out of caution. Who would have thought that we would have any further interactions? Marshall is standing right beside me. It would be too hurtful to tell him the truth.”

As Stella was indecisive on how she should word her thoughts, Marshall piped up.

Vermont saw his chance to smooth things over and immediately said, “So, it was all a misunderstanding! Come on, let me introduce the two of you.
