Chapter 2429
Mr. Kane Got Blacklisted Chapter 2429 - Stella was speechless. The comparison was spot-on but not something she wanted to entertain. "We're talking about Jaylene now."
But Keegan wasn't interested in Jaylene. With bright eyes, he pressed, "Stella, you've liked me for a long time, haven't you?"
"No, I just sent them casually."
"Do you send them to other men too?"
"Am I crazy?"
"Then why did you send them to me?"
Stella remained silent.
Keegan concluded, "Because you wanted to hint that we could take our relationship further."
Stella cleared her throat. "Let's focus on the issue at hand-"Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.
Keegan was still lost in his own thoughts. "Stella, when you agreed to marry me, did you already like me?"
Stella tried to steer the conversation back. "Let's discuss the real issue="
Keegan, ignoring her, continued, "Did it start on the blind date? Or after the car accident when you called me brother? Was it—" "Keegan!"
Stella slapped him with a pillow, gritting her teeth. "If you don't stop obsessing over this, I'll knock some sense into you!" Keegan fell silent.
"Has Jaylene sent you these kinds of photos before?" Stella asked, ignoring his sulking.
Keegan hesitated. "I think so." He hadn't paid much attention to them.
Stella took his phone and checked the chat history under "Red Agate Seller." She found that Jaylene had been sending similar photos since shortly after their divorce, when Keegan was still pursuing her. Sometimes Jaylene would show off a skirt, other times a necklace or bracelet, always asking for Keegan's opinion on her outfit for an event.
The most common angles in her selfies were either showing her deep V-neck when displaying a necklace or a high-slit skirt when showing off a bracelet. Even for bracelet photos, she'd pose with her hand resting on her smooth thigh.
Since Keegan had Jaylene's WhatsApp on "Do Not Disturb," he was surprised by the number of photos Stella found. "There are so many?"
In reality, it wasn't a lot, maybe once or twice a month. Jaylene might have toned it down because of Keegan's cold responses.
Stella noticed that Keegan had only replied to one message. In that instance, Jaylene had sent a photo of herself in a cheongsam on a snowy balcony, asking if it was too old-fashioned for a class reunion.
Keegan's response? "It's warm enough. You can wear it."
Stella was speechless after reading that. She realized that after all these
years in business, no woman had managed to get close to Keegan-not because he was intimidating, but because he was completely clueless about romance.
He couldn't recognize Jaylene's flirty

tactics. When she showed cleavage, he saw only the necklace. When she flaunted her legs, he wondered why she wasn't wearing long johns in winter.
Jaylene's efforts were wasted, yet she kept trying for so long.
Stella took screenshots of all the
selfies Jaylene had sent Keegan, In
Keegan in the process, she noticed that Jaylene not only sent him these photos, but also frequently chatted with him about everyday life and work
For example, she often asked Keegan on WhatsApp about issues with Luna and how to fix them.
When it came to work-related topics, Keegan would chat a bit more, and Jaylene would always end the conversation with praise:
"Keegan, you're amazing-"
"How do you know everything, Keegan?"
"Wow, you're so smart, Keegan. You make me feel so dumb."
Keegan's reply was always the same: "Everyone has their strengths."
