Mr. Kane Got Blacklisted (Stella and Keegan)
Chapter 1876

Chapter 1876

Stella recalled the days spent at the Saun family home.

Watching Wenham's tender care for the pot of roses, she noticed his demeanor softening. Was he seeing those roses as reminders of someone he lost long ago?'

"Dad originally planned to build a greenhouse in the yard for them. He wanted to plant more roses, but then Darcie had an allergic reaction. So, he put that idea on hold," Trevor shared.

Stella gave a wry smile. "That's quite the coincidence, isn't it?"

Her skepticism lingered. Rivera's temperature rarely dropped below minus four or five degrees. Roses aren't that fragile. They shouldn't have perished after just two days of frost, even if they were a cultivated breed.

Of all the flowers, Darcie was allergic to the roses that Freesia loved so much. The issue did not seem entirely coincidental.

"Trevor, why did you deliberately knock over that bowl of oats when we were downstairs? Did you find out something?" Stella asked in a low voice. Trevor shook his head. "I'm not sure. The nurse said the person who approached them was a man, but Darcie has never been with any man."

"Could she have hired someone?"

"Why would you risk using someone who isn't a trusted confidant for something as serious as taking a life?"

Stella fell silent. It was true; only those with a common interest were truly reliable.

She felt a chill run down her spine. 'If it really was her, then what kind of mindset did Darcie live with all these years?' She shuddered at the thought.

"Stop thinking about it," Trevor said, patting her head comfortingly. "Focus on taking care of the baby and yourself. I'll handle everything else."

Stella closed her eyes. If the plane crash resulted from foul play, it was likely that Darcie had taken precautions. Trevor's investigation might put her in danger.

"Should we tell Dad about this?"Books Chapters Are Daily Updated Join & Stay Updated For All Books Updates...

Trevor sighed. "And what would we say? We have no evidence, Stella. Dad cares deeply for his late wife, but he and Darcie have been together for twenty years. He can't act on an unproven accusation. It might even make him feel guilty for suspecting her."

After a while, Trevor added, "I'm not fond of Darcie, but I really don't want it to be her. I was actually relieved when I found out it was a man."

'If it weren't for the plane crash...'

Stella regained her senses and understood. Should Darcie be responsible for the incident, her father would likely be the most devastated. Just as she was lost in thought, the sound of a car engine came from downstairs.

Trevor got up and said, "Let's go. Keegan is here to pick you up."

However, when they got downstairs, it wasn't Keegan who arrived, but Marshall.

He was wearing an all-white suit, standing in the living room talking to Wenham. Stella's first instinct was to turn around and go upstairs. But before she could move, she heard Marshall say, "Happy New Year, Stella."

Stella gave an awkward smile and replied, "Happy New Year."

Then she asked, "Why are you here so late?"

Marshall held up the bottle of wine. "I saw your post and thought, why not celebrate New Year's Eve together with a few drinks?"
