NovelEnglishMr. Kane Got Blacklisted Chapter 2413 - Darcie, seeing through his understanding, didn't bother with pretense. She handed him a file. "I need you to find out everything about this man-where he goes, who he meets. I want every detail." Alijah opened the file, skimming through it. Something about the man's face seemed familiar, though he couldn't place where he'd seen him before. "Who is he?" "He's a new client, supposedly of Chinese descent from Country M. I'm verifying his background, but I need to know who he's in contact with here. If he's clean, he could helpexpand our network in Country M." Doctors from Country M held significant status, their medical expertise highly regarded. Darcie saw potential in leveraging this connection to broaden her influence.

The city had changed so much, but the Caline billboard opposite the hospital remained, a stark reminder of the past. He gently touched his mutilated ring finger, the phantom sensation of a ring he no longer wore haunting him. The taxi's sudden brake jolted him back to reality. As the driver argued with a young man who had caused the stop, Paul recognized Aldor, who politely apologized for his mistake. Aldor then approached the taxi window, addressing Paul directly. "Mr. Morant, our boss would like to speak with you. Is it convenient for you now?" Back at the company, Stella's heart skipped a beat when she recognized Paul. She quickly masked her surprise, turning away to compose herself before entering the room. Why was Paul here? Was he the important client Aubrey had mentioned? Did he seek out Darcie, or was this another of Darcie's tests? Countless questions raced through Stella's mind, but she forced a smile as she greeted them. “Sorry, I'm late.” Darcie, ever the observant one, smiled and invited Stella to sit, watching her closely. Stella, unsure of Paul's intentions, remained quiet, wary of giving anything away.
Darcie introduced Paul as a new client, a Chinese descendant from Country M, looking to commission custom perfumes. Paul, pretending not to know Stella, greeted her formally.
Stella played along, shaking his hand and denying any involvement in perfcreation. Paul complimented Stella's mother, Jessica Hall, a legendary figure in the perfindustry, subtly hinting at Stella's potential. Darcie, however, felt a pang of irritation at the mention, though she hid it well.
As the conversation continued, Paul skillfully answered Darcie's probing questions about his background, demonstrating his knowledge of Country M's medical system. Stella quietly observed, her mind working furiously to understand Paul's motives.

When Paul invited Darcie to dinner, she declined due to a prior engagement, promising to meet him the next day. After he day. After he left, Darcie couldn't shake the feeling that something was off. She questioned Stella, who feigned surprise and ignorance, skillfully deflecting Darcie's suspicions. Once alone, Stella felt the tension in her body release. Darcie was too sharp, too suspicious. Stella knew she had to be careful, or she'd be exposed.
In her office, Darcie was restless, her mind filled with doubt. She left the Oman building and met with a man in her car, confiding in him her growing anxiety.
The man, Alijah, tried to comfort her, but Darcie was exhausted, bothm and mentally."Alijah, I'm so physically tired," she whispered, leaning into his touch. Alijah, feeling her weariness, whispered back, “Let's leave, Darcie. Before it's too late.” X
