Aurora froze in place.She looked at Dahlia with both shocked and fearful eyes and stuttered, "M–Mom, wh–what are you saying?"Dahlia put on a heartbroken expression on her face, "I know that you don't like Stella. You'd always tell me about it, but I thought you were just ranting. I never thought that you'd actually do something like this at Mrs. Chapman's daughter's wedding. I've spoiled you too much, and you have no sense of right or wrong! You'd better hope that nothing bad happened to Stella, or the entire Kane family will never forgive you for what you did!"With her still pale face, Aurora stared blankly at Dahlia. Every word she uttered felt like a cold knife stabbing her in her heart.Compared to the suspicious and disdainful look of the outsiders, Aurora was more troubled by Dahlia's attitude.Just moments ago, she had said that she would not target Stella anymore for the sake of her grandchild and wanted them to live happily as a family. But now, she became the first to
Aurora's arrogant and domineering voice came through from Dahlia's phone. When everyone heard her mentioning the oil, the truth suddenly became clear.The crowd assumed Aurora did not like Stella and could not stand her presence at the Royalpark Villa. She had wanted to teach Stella a lesson for a long time but had been unable to do so at home, so she chose to do it during Ms. Chapman's wedding.Everyone thought that Aurora's intentions were malicious.After listening to the audio recording, Aurora's face could not have been any paler.She looked at Dahlia, and her eyes turned from shock to indifference.Keegan's expression was very gloomy as he stared at Aurora. He clenched his fists tightly, and his gaze looked somewhat indescribable.Aurora felt a pang in her heart as tears streamed down her face. "Keegan, do you also not believe me?" she asked in a hoarse voice.Keegan shifted his gaze to Olivia, "Mrs. Chapman, why don't you show us the full footage? If Aurora was the one wh
Aurora pursed her lips without saying anything. When Dahlia presented those framed pieces of evidence to set her up, she had already lost the ability to defend herself.Keegan stared at Dahlia for a moment and calmly said, "Let's just call the police."Dahlia's expression changed as she grabbed his sleeve, "Today is Mrs. Chapman's daughter's big day. Stella is fine anyway. Do you really have to spoil someone else's celebration?"Keegan slowly pushed her hand away and said coldly, "What are you so afraid of?"Dahlia's lips trembled. Then, she yelled, "I'm not afraid of anything! I didn't do anything wrong at all! I just don't want you to spoil Ms. Chapman's wedding. I'm sure you're aware of how influential the Adam family is. If you were to mess up the wedding tonight, they'd undoubtedly hold the Kane family accountable!"That was also the reason why Dahlia dared to take action at this wedding and act recklessly.She had it all planned out. Considering a family background like the
Erick was taken aback, not knowing why his ever-obedient wife would speak against him today.He lowered his voice and said, "I understand, but it's a big day for our family. We can't afford to let anything go wrong. The Adam family takes this wedding very seriously. After today, our daughter will not only have us but also the Adam family as her support. You've always been good with words. I know you can do it."He paused before continuing, "I've worked hard all these years for you and our daughters. The Adam family can help me take my career to another level. We're on the verge of turning our lives around. Let's not mess things up at such a crucial time."Olivia scoffed inwardly, 'He's been making empty promises for so many years. I feel like throwing up just by listening to his voice now.'She held back her surging anger, lowered her gaze, and said softly, "I'll give it a try then."However, before Olivia could go anywhere, Lena came out of the room. She said, "Stella is fine for
"I lied to you?"Dahlia sneered and walked over to Aurora. When she stood in front of her, she suddenly raised her hand and slapped Aurora across the face.She slapped her so hard that it left her ear buzzing for a moment and made her face feel numb.Aurora lifted her head and looked at Dahlia in disbelief, "Mom, why?"With a stern face, Dahlia spoke in a sharp voice, "Don't call me Mom! Aurora Kane, who exactly are you trying to fool?!"Did Stella really argue with Keegan? Does Keegan really hate her? Did you really put something in the fruit vinegar she drank? I trusted you so much, but all you do is lie to me! Has that foxy woman enchanted you as well?"Aurora's face turned pale, "Mom, that's Keegan's baby, your grandchild. Why do you want it to die so badly? Is it really this difficult for you to let go of your hatred for Stella?""Is that why you chose to betray me?" Dahlia's expression turned grim, "Do you think that Stella will let you go if you stop acting against her? D
But now, Stella was already a part of the Saun family and even carried Keegan's baby in her stomach. Yet, Dahlia still could not accept her.Suddenly, Aurora realized that it was not Stella that she could not accept, but anyone who threatened her from enjoying wealth and luxury.She should have known this when Dahlia was so eager to obtain Keegan's wealth after he fell into the water.Blood and family ties apparently meant nothing to Dahlia compared to a luxurious life in the future.Suddenly, she thought of when Dahlia insisted on raising her back then. Was that because she truly could not bear to part with her, or was it just a convenient way for her to extract money from the Kane family?If Dahlia genuinely loved her, why would she do such a heartless thing and falsely accuse her?Aurora could not figure it out and felt her heart being torn apart.Then, she said in a trembling voice, "Mom, we're family. Is it necessary for you to go this far? You know that Keegan is not as he
However, Dahlia was the only reason why Aurora would have such a mindset.Dahlia claimed that she did everything for her.However, Aurora knew that parents who loved their children would consider their future in whatever they did.Dahlia only thought about helping Keegan find an equally wealthy woman to help him in his career, but she failed to consider that the benefits tied to marriage could easily be torn down with a divorce. If that happened, everything that Keegan had achieved because of the marriage would disappear overnight.Dahlia claimed that she wanted to accumulate more wealth so that her future husband's family would treat her with respect. But if someone married her for the sake of money, how could he truly love her?Dahlia had never seriously thought about the future of her children; she had only thought about her own.Aurora took a deep breath and asked in a hoarse voice, "Did you really do everything for me? Are you sure it's not because you want to continue enjoy
Aldor did not say anything in response.Aurora was good-looking, had an outstanding family background, and was several years younger than Aldor. Sylvia felt both happy and worried that Cordelia tried to pair her up with his son, so she was very afraid of neglecting her."Mom, do you like Aurora?" Aldor asked.Sylvia chuckled. "Why are you asking me? That's a question you should ask yourself. I'll like her as long as you do. After all, I've only met her once and barely know her as a person. However, I believe in your judgment and as long as you like her, I'll treat her like my own daughter."Aldor smiled and hugged Sylvia. "I'll try to get along with her but don't set your hopes too high. After all, there's a huge difference in our family background, and things might not work out between us."Sylvia patted his back and handed him the sandwiches. "Drive safely.""Sure."Felicity and Vermont went into the room together.After that, they saw Stella sitting on the couch eating fruit
