Mr. Kane Got Blacklisted by Eleven Jewell

“They didn’t know each other well, but they had some interactions in their early years. Romina, now Mrs. Clint, was an illustrator before she got married. She had an older brother who was somewhat famous in the calligraphy and painting circles back then. His name was Alijah, and he was Darcie’s ex-husband. Mrs. Clint and Darcie’s ex-husband knew each other, so she might know something about Darcie’s past.”

“Alijah…” Stella repeated the name and then asked, “Jaylene is her ex-husband’s child, right? Hasn’t her ex-husband’s family ever taken care of him?”

Wendy replied, “Even if someone wanted to take care of him, they’d need someone capable to do it. I heard her ex-husband drowned not long after they got married. His parents died early, leaving behind a younger brother and sister. The brother wasn’t very bright, and after his brother died, he ran away and never came back. The sister got married, but I only know bits and pieces. You should ask Mrs. Clint for the full story.”

Stella said, “I didn’t expect her ex-husband to be an artist.”

Wendy sipped her tea and said, “Artists usually have money. Who would send their kids to study art if they didn’t? Maybe Darcie was drawn to his talent? Don’t be ridiculous.”

If he was wealthy, why did Darcie invest so little in Caline? And why did she serve Mrs. Saun for so many years? Maybe she was attracted to his talent and looks?

But Darcie wasn’t like Jaylene. Everything she did had a purpose. While all clues point to Darcie, there’s no direct evidence. Darcie is careful and hasn’t revealed herself openly. The identity of her accomplice is still a mystery.

Whoever helped Darcie with such serious crimes must be someone she trusts and shares a common goal with.

What was Darcie’s goal?

Was it to become Mrs. Saun or control Caline?

Maybe, but there’s more to it.
