Mr. Kane Got Blacklisted by Eleven Jewell

Chapter 608

Jaylene, on the other hand, declined and said, "I'm afraid I'm not worthy of the money pouch Madam Kane is giving. I lack talent."

Stella paused then smiled immediately. She said, "Ms. Saun, this is not a competition. We wrote the calligraphy to congratulate Grandma. Will it matter who is more talented as long as Grandma feels blessed?"

Baldwin added, "Ms. Saun, please do keep it. Take it as a blessing from Madam Kane.”

Jaylene hesitated a little before finally taking it. "I'm sorry for my narrowmindedness."
