Mr. Kane Got Blacklisted

Stella had her full attention on Keegan and did not notice anything else that was happening at all. Upon hearing what Marshall said, she asked, “What about my dad?”

Marshall paused. “Didn’t he tell you about it?”

Stella shook her head.

Marshall hesitated for a moment but decided to tell her about it anyway. “My grandfather invited Uncle Wenham to our house and said some unpleasant things to him. I wasn’t home at the time, and I only found out about it later from the maid. Uncle Wenham left without touching his food, and he did not look very happy when he left.”

Stella knew nothing about this incident because Wenham had not told her about it at all.

Felicity, who had been eavesdropping from the front, could not help but ask, “Uncle Wenham has such a good temper. What can your grandfather possibly say to make him angry?”

Marshall explained, “He thought that Stella and I were together, so he wanted to take matters into his own hands and arrange our marriage. He’s been arrogant all his life, thinking that everyone should follow everything he says.

When Uncle Wenham turned him down, he felt like he was humiliated and spoke somewhat rudely.”

Felicity was speechless.
