Mr. Kane Got Blacklisted

Chapter 32

Bella's lips lifted into a grin as she grew confident of her suspicion. "Why keep on grabbing onto something that is not yours?" Bella thought she could provoke Stella. She could tell that Stella was not a calm person from the few interactions she had with her. Stella could not hide her jealousy whenever she had any close contact with Keegan. Bella thought she would act the same as last time. But, Stella just glanced at her indifferently. "If you insist on thinking that way, so be it. So, are you going to buy it?"

Now, it was Bella's turn to keep a straight face. 'It feels like a scam if I buy it. But, Stella feels so odious as if she's mocking me if I don't buy it.'

Stella seemed to have read her thoughts. She put the bag back into the case, and the moment the cover was about to close, Bella stopped her and said, "I'll buy it!"

Stella paused and looked up at her. "Pay in full."

Bella gritted her teeth and said, "Don't worry. You won't lose a penny." Five million was not a small amount of money. Bella went out to take a call and came back after Stella waited in the private room for thirty minutes. Yet, the look on Bella's face when she came in was not pleasant. In the presence of the store owner, the two had a deal. Bella transferred five million to Stella's bank account on the spot.

When Bella signed the deal, she drew out her wrist from her dress. Then, a familiar diamond bracelet on her wrist caught Stella's attention. The model and workmanship were very similar to the one she gave to Keegan in the past. When Bella was done signing, she noticed Stella's attention on her wrist. She lifted her wrist with a smile and said, "This bracelet was a gift from Keegan back in the year I debuted. Stella, are your pieces of jewelry from him all diamond too? Do you know what's the reason?"

Stella paused, and her fingers slowly curled up. The look on her face indicated that Bella's guess was correct. Yet, Stella did not want to know the reason behind it. She even had the urge to escape from hearing it. However, Bella did not give her the chance to escape and mocked, "His knowledge of jewelry all comes from me, and my favorite jewels are diamonds."

Stella's nails dug into her palm. Every word from Bella was a humiliation at her ecstatic response to the gifts. The romance she thought she had was just Keegan projecting the shadow of other women on her. "Stella, Keegan doesn't love you. If it wasn't for his grandma opposing us being together back then, do you think you'll have the chance to marry him? But, it's different now, Cordelia is old and has no control anymore. The Kane family will be Keegan's. What do you think will happen to you by then?" Bella raised the corner of her lips. "If I were you, I would leave on my own. At least this way, I could leave with dignity. It's a shame to be kicked out of the house."

"Keegan and I were already married when you debut, right?"

"Huh?" Bella did not get it for a moment when Stella said that out of nowhere.

"Doesn't that mean that every penny he spent on you was our joint property? In that case, I am legally entitled to claim it back."

Stella let out a laugh. "It looks like you don't understand that we are under the transaction of private goods. And, it has nothing to do with the market order. I only need to pay the value-added tax if this transaction is completed. It's not illegal or against the rules. Besides, values are just references for the buyers, yet it's my choice for the price of the item since it belongs to me. You could call off the deal if you

think it's unreasonable."

"Why you-" Bella's face turned green with anger. She was even more furious when she saw Stella being calm and composed. She sneered after thinking about it. "Stella, you increased the price on purpose and refused to sell the bag to me after realizing that I was the buyer, right?"

Stella did not speak and gave her a cold stare.

Bella's lips lifted into a grin as she grew confident of her suspicion. "Why keep on grabbing onto something that is not yours?" Bella thought she could provoke Stella. She could tell that Stella was not a calm person from the few interactions she had with her. Stella could not hide her jealousy whenever she had any close contact with Keegan.
