Mr. Kane Got Blacklisted (Stella and Keegan)
Chapter 1926

Chapter 1926

Dahlia said gently, 'The ceremony hasn't started yet, and we've been here for quite some time now. Mrs. Chapman is getting hungry, and the food will only be served later. It's not nice to carry a plate of food around in front of so many people. It might seem a little inappropriate."

Aurora was unsure why Dahlia could not just ask a kitchen staff to do the same, but she did not question further as she was lost in her fantasy of a happy family. Instead, she said softly, "I specifically picked the desserts you like. Try them."

Dahlia gently touched her face, "I have raised you right. You're always so thoughtful."

Aurora heaved a sigh of relief inwardly, 'I'm glad that Mom finally thought this through.'

Suddenly, the sound of footsteps echoed at the door. Dahlia paused, raised her head, and said, "Aurora, you should go back to the banquet hall. The ceremony will begin soon. I'm going to go speak to Mrs. Chapman for a while."

"Okay, sure."

When Aurora was about to leave, Dahlia stopped her and handed her a neatly packed bag before saying warmly," Would you take this bag of garbage and throw it away for me? Use the staircase on the west side. The bride will be coming from the east side later, and there'll be a lot of people."

Aurora smiled, "Got it, Mom."

After saying that, she took the bag and did as Dahlia said. She headed straight to the west side staircase and threw the bag into the trash can before going downstairs.

When Keegan came back, he could not see Stella and Aurora anywhere and felt a little uneasy.

He turned to ask Vermont, "Where are they?"

Vermont and Felicity were busy calculating how much they should contribute to each other's pension fund for the best return.

Upon hearing Keegan's voice, he lifted his head and said," The restroom. Aurora left not long after you did. Then, Stella walked away, too. Didn't you run into them when you came out of the restroom?" Keegan frowned. Obviously, he had not.

With a stern face, he took out his phone and dialed Stella's number. He heard her phone ringing in her bag on the seat next to his.

Stella did not bring her phone with her.

Keegan pursed his lips, then called Aurora. However, before it was connected, she came back.

He put his phone away and asked her after she sat back down, "Where did you go?"

Aurora thought about the conversation she just had with Dahlia and lied, "I went to the restroom."

As she said that, she did not look Keegan in the eyes, and her hand subconsciously grabbed the hem of her dress as her thumb lightly stroked her finger. It was a small gesture she would make when lying. Keegan's gaze turned cold. He asked in a deep voice, "Did you see Stella? She went to the restroom, too."

Aurora's gaze shifted as she stammered, "Y-Yeah, I did. She'll be out in a moment."

She had not gone to the restroom, so she naturally did not see Stella. But having told one lie, she had to continue with another to cover it up.

Keegan could clearly sense her lie, causing his expression to turn even more unpleasant.

Just as he was about to speak, a sudden commotion came from the door as someone shouted, "Someone fell in the staircase, and there's blood everywhere!"
