Mr. Kane Got Blacklisted

Stella paused, looked at Wren, and asked, "Is there anything else?"

Wren shook her head and left with the documents.

Stella stared at the grapefruit on her desk for a while, then called Sonia.

Julia entered Jaylene's office, carefully avoiding the scattered papers on the floor. She handed Jaylene a cup of coffee. "Ms. Saun, here's your coffee." Jaylene didn't respond, focused on her phone with a cold expression.

Her friends were buzzing about one thing-Aaron had a girlfriend. He had always kept a low profile, but now he'd posted a picture of them together.

In the group chat, they were discussing the news:

"Who is she? She doesn't look familiar. Is she from our circle?"

"I don't think so. But she's pretty."

"She must be from a lower-status family. I heard the Kellers are avoiding a powerful marriage to keep control."

"That makes sense. Jaylene, you were classmates with Aaron, right? Do you know who she is?"

Jaylene checked Aaron's social media and found the picture. It showed a girl holding milk tea, smiling, with a hand (presumably Aaron's) holding hers from the side. The caption was intentionally vague. Anger flashed across Jaylene's face, and she called Aaron immediately.

The first call went unanswered, which was unusual. Even after she distanced herself from Aaron, he'd always answer her calls.

She called again, and this time a woman's voice answered, "Hello."

Jaylene's grip tightened on her phone. "Who are you? Where's Aaron?"

"He's in the bathroom. I'm his girlfriend, Tatiana. Who's calling? I'll let him know you called."

The polite response only fueled Jaylene's anger. She snapped, "I didn't know Aaron had a girlfriend. He's been keeping it quiet."

Tatiana didn't seem to catch the sarcasm and cheerfully replied, "We only just started dating. Aaron's shy and doesn't talk much about personal things. You must be close to him, though I haven't heard him mention you. Are you his classmate?"

Jaylene was speechless for a moment, then finally said, "Ask Aaron yourself what our relationship is!"

Tatiana responded sweetly, "You must be close to Aaron. Can I add you on WhatsApp? Aaron's birthday is coming up, and I want to surprise him with a gift. Could you help me with ideas?"

Jaylene seethed inside but agreed, thinking she couldn't let this new girl think she'd won so easily. "Fine, add me."

Tatiana was delighted. "Thank you, sister!"

Jaylene's eye twitched at being called "sister," and she ended the call angrily.

Soon, Tatiana's friend request appeared, using the same picture Jaylene had seen earlier. Jaylene accepted and immediately checked Tatiana's profile. The latest post was a close-up of the couple, captioned, "Finally, my turn for a sweet love."

Fury boiled over in Jaylene. When Julia brought the coffee again, Jaylene knocked it over, spilling it on Julia.

Julia cried out, "Ms. Saun?"

Jaylene, enraged, threw everything on her desk and shouted, "Get out! Now!"

Darcie walked in just then and frowned, "Why are you angry again?"

Jaylene's anger cooled slightly, but she still looked away, saying nothing.

Darcie told Julia, "Go take care of yourself."

Julia quickly left, and Darcie gathered

the scattered documents. "How many times have told youto watch your behavior? People are always watching. You're not powerful enough to treat others this way. Be more careful."

Jaylene muttered, "Stella's targeting me, and you want me to just take it? She's constantly coming for me. Should I keep enduring it?"

Darcie replied, "It's only eight million. If you can't win, no one else will. The money isn't going anywhere, so why are you upset?"

Jaylene clenched her fists. "I'm tired of being targeted by her in everything! I've put up with so much since she came back. When will it end? I've had enough!"

Darcie smirked. "Then stop enduring

it. Face her directly. Remember,

you're a Saun, and she's a Jewell!

family for twenty years. What are you

afraid of? Let's see who gets kicked out first."

Jaylene paused and then said, "I'm sorry, Mom. I was wrong."

Darcie looked at her for a moment

before saying, “Focus on winning the Perfume Competition. you win, your place in the company will be

secure. Stella will think twice before trying to push you out."

is on !

Jaylene nodded, "But Sonia's doing well too. She managed to mix that S-grade essential oil so quickly. I'm a bit worried."
