Mr. Kane Got Blacklisted (Stella and Keegan)
Mr. Kane Got Blacklisted By Eleven Jewell Chapter 317

Chapter 317

Dahlia's expression darkened. "What do you mean."

Cyrene's words had clearly hit her where it hurt.

'So what if Keegan's outstanding? In the end, didn't he still not follow her wishes and married a parvenu's daughter?' thought Cyrene.

Cyrene smiled. "I didn't mean anything; it was just an analogy. When marrying a wife, marry one who's virtuous. While Stella's lacking in other aspects, she's still virtuous and smart. Forget about our mother-in- law liking her; even I like her."

Stella was speechless.

'I forgot to check my horoscope's prediction before leaving the house today. I got involved in the war between the two sisters-in-law when I just arrived. Dahlia and Cyrene have always been at odds. This is something I learned as soon as I married into the Kane family. The main reason is most likely the battle for succession between the two families. The Vinci Rivera Group turned successful during Quentin's tenure. If it wasn't because he had passed on early, the company would have undoubtedly been inherited by his family. However, he died at a young age. When he passed away, his children were still young, so Chandler managed the company for a long period of time. Dahlia was a widowed single mother. While she didn't need to worry about food and accommodation at the Kane family, she didn't have authority in the company. To put it simply, she had to rely on others,' she thought.

'Prior to Keegan's adulthood, whenever outsiders said "Mrs. Kane," it referred to Cyrene. Cyrene's status rose as Chandler's authority in the Vinci Rivera Group grew. Since the Saun family also had some power, Cyrene was arguably living her best life in her social circle during her earlier days. Back then, nobody remembered that Dahlia was the Kane family's eldest's son's wife. The rules in the social circle of wealthy women were really simple; they had always judged people by their family background. Dahlia was a widow. And, aside from her title of being the wife of the Kane family's eldest son, her family wasn't that well-known in Rivera. Whenever others mentioned her, they merely referred to her as "the beautiful and unlucky number one socialite". How could someone proud like Dahlia not feel resentment after Cyrene had one-upped her? Dahlia only got her vengeance when Keegan rose to prominence in the Vinci Rivera Group and matched Chandler's authority. However, the two sisters-in-law still often had infightings on various occasions. It was no secret in the elite circle that the two did not get along. Half a year ago, grandma reprimanded Cyrene because of Jackson. She said Cyrene spoiled Jackson and did not raise him right. After that, Cyrene toned down a lot and rarely appeared at the banquets she used to frequent. I really didn't expect these two to get into a fight the moment they met when they hadn't seen each other in so long. They can fight if they want to, but why are they dragging me into the crossfire?' she thought again.

Stella cursed them in her head but answered in a gentle tone, "I have a really daring temperament. You only think of me that way because we rarely interact with each other, Aunt Cyrene. If you like virtuous girls, I do know a few. I could introduce them to you if Jackson's interested."

Aurora could not help but snicker as soon as Stella finished talking.

She only regained her composure after Dahlia gave her a look.

'Stella's clearly overreaching with her words. Aunt Cyrene's not complimenting her. Even I can tell that she's mocking her. Yet, this woman is praising herself on her own accord and even offering to set her son up on dates? With Stella's social status, where would the people she knows stand in the social hierarchy? Aunt Cyrene looks down on Stella, so how could she possibly like the people Stella introduces?' thought Aurora.

Sure enough, Cyrene froze after hearing Stella's words. She glanced at Stella before she indifferently said, "Since Jackson just got back, the most important thing is learning more skills. There's no need to rush this matter."

'It isn't because there's no need to rush, but it's because she looks down on the people I'm introducing,' thought Stella.
