Mr. Kane Got Blacklisted by Eleven Jewell

Chapter 124

Stella was caught off guard. She pursed her lips before she asked, “Why do

you

ask?”

Marshall zoomed in on the Facebook user’s profile picture. “The hand in this profile picture is Ms.

Young’s hand.”

The profile picture of her hater was a photo of a right hand holding a cup of latte.

But, Stella still did not understand. The majority of her haters were Bella’s fans, so it was normal that this

hater used Bella’s photo as a profile picture.

“What led you to that conclusion?”

“I got a friend to do a reverse image search and comparison using some tech. We couldn’t find the

picture anywhere online. Plus, judging from this photo’s angle, the lady holding the latte cup must have

taken the photo and kept it to herself. And, when I got Ms. Young’s autograph last night, I noticed a mole

between her thumb and index finger, just like the one in this photo. Her hands aren’t slim, so she must

have used a hand double for close–ups when filming, which explains why there aren’t any close–up

shots of her hand online.”

Stella thought to herself, ‘So, he asked for Bella’s autograph last night just to get a closer look at her

hand.‘

Stella was not dull–witted. She immediately asked, “Are you saying this is Bella’s secret account?”

“It’s either her or someone close to her. How else would a stranger have access to her private photos?”

However, Stella knew for a fact that only Felicity and now Marshall knew her identity as Dusk Galaxy. It

was very unlikely that Bella would know about it. Hence, Bella could not have done it due to the feud

between them.

The only possible explanation was that Bella had been holding grudges against Dusk Galaxy over the

previous film project involving the both of them. The film was a huge success. Dusk Galaxy’s dubbing

had enlivened Bella’s role. However, at the same time, it had also stolen the limelight away from Bella.

‘So, she incited her fans to cyber bully a voice actor for months just because her limelight was stolen?‘

Stella thought, ‘As someone in showbiz for many years, doesn’t she know the consequences of

cyberbullying? How can she be so vicious?‘ Stella could not help but wonder, ‘ What the hell does

Keegan like about her?!‘

“If Bella is behind this, do we have a chance of winning the lawsuit?” Stella asked Marshall.

“Even if she’s the one using that account, it’s very likely that the registration information isn’t hers. If you

sue her, her PR team will just find someone to take the blame,” Marshall replied truthfully.

Stella was disappointed. “So, the cost of cyberbullying is this low?”

“The law can’t control morality,” Marshall said with a pause, “But, if we don’t fight back, the behavior will

only escalate.”

Stella was quiet for a moment before she declared, “I’m going to fight this to the end. Even if I

can’t win the lawsuit, it’ll still affect her popularity.”

Marshall smiled. “I’ll do my best.”

“Do I need to pay for any legal fees right now?” Stella just remembered about the payment.

Marshall smiled and said, “There’s no rush. We can discuss that later when the process is further.”

Stella nodded and suddenly remembered the gift she wanted to give to Marshall. She hurriedly said,

“Wait here. Don’t leave just yet!” Then, she ran out of the room in a hurry.

The things Stella and Keegan had brought with them had been put away by the housemaid. After

searching for a while, Stella finally found the bag that held the tie she wanted to give

Marshall.

She quickly opened the bag for a quick look, then she rushed back to the rooftop and joined Marshall.

Keegan, who was looking for Stella, caught sight of her. When he was about to call out her name, she

ran upstairs as if she was being pursued.

‘How rash! She doesn’t change a bit even after years of marriage.‘ He then pursed his lips and followed

her.

Stella returned to the rooftop and found Marshall still there. She approached him and presented the gift

she had bought for him. “Mr. Moore, thank you for your help last night. I don’t know how I could express

my gratitude. So, I saw this at the mall today and bought it for you. I hope you like it.”

Marshall was momentarily taken aback before he chuckled. “I have a surprise for you, too,” he said.

As he spoke, he pulled out a brand–new mobile phone and handed it to Stella. “I noticed that your phone

was broken last night, and I happen to have an extra one at home. So, I brought it for you.”

Stella quickly declined. “There’s no need for that. It’s too expensive.” She did not want to be in anyone’s

debt.

“It’s still much cheaper than a tie,” Marshall replied. “I didn’t see you with a phone today, so I assume you

haven’t bought one yet. It’s too inconvenient to not have a phone in this day and age. You can take and

use this phone before you buy a new one. When you do purchase a new one, you can return it to me.

Otherwise, I’ll be uncomfortable accepting such an expensive gift from you.”

With just a few sentences, Marshall gave Stella no room to refuse.

‘All I wanted was to return his favor with a gift. Why am I getting more in return?‘

“Okay,” Stella took it and handed him the tie. “I’ll treat you to dinner next time.”

“Alright,” replied Marshall.

Keegan, who was watching them chatting and laughing from afar, felt a pang of envy as he looked at the

brand–new phone in his hand. He left the scene with a sour expression.

Meanwhile, Cordelia was tired. She became sleepy not long after tea time. When Marshall and Trevor

noticed it, they excused themselves, saying they had some errands to attend to.

Cordelia did not ask them to stay. Instead, she asked Keegan to see them off.

After Trevor and Marshall left, rain started to fall. It was forecast that there would be heavy rainfall at four

o’clock. It was not safe to drive on the mountain roads in the rain. So, before the rain got heavier,

Baldwin started driving to send them back.

On the way, Keegan’s face was even darker than when he came, while Stella was in no mood to

entertain him.

Instead, she took out the new phone that Marshall had given her from her bag. It was the same brand as

her old phone, but not the latest model. Therefore, she trusted Marshall’s explanation that he simply had

an extra phone.

After inserting her SIM card into the new phone, she turned it on and started cloning data from the

backup file.

“Where are my socks?” Keegan suddenly asked.

Stella glanced at him inexplicably and pointed to the bag next to him. “They’re inside this bag.

Keegan rummaged through the bag but to no avail. “They’re not here,” he said with an unsmiling face.

Stella put down her phone and took the bag. She went through its contents, but the socks were nowhere

to be found.

“How is this possible? I put them in here myself…” she muttered.

As she gazed at the bag again, it dawned on her that it looked a lot like the one she had given Marshall.

‘Oh no, did I accidentally put the socks in that bag?‘ she thought.

She nervously looked at Keegan, whose face was grim, and cleared her throat. “Hey, I think I might have

given the socks to Mr. Moore by mistake,” she said.

As soon as she finished speaking, Keegan’s face turned grave, and his eyes were blazed with anger.

“Those were mine!” he growled through gritted teeth.
