Vermont took a moment to mull it over, "So, were you intending to kick her out of Keegan's life from the start?"Stella replied nonchalantly, "I won't stop Keegan from providing for her retirement, but I won't let her drag Keegan into the mud with this distant relation."She narrowed her eyes, adding, "The Crosby family's bankruptcy is quite convenient. With everyone turning against her, having lost everything, and her reputation in ruins, let's see what waves she can still make."Just as she pondered, she suddenly noticed Chandler Kane in the front row.She fell silent. Did Cyrene Saun have no inkling about the issues between these two in-laws?The press conference came to a close with the spectacular unveiling of an intelligent all-electric car, accompanied by symphonic music and the venue bathed in light. Top executives from the Vinci Rivera Group took turns on stage, fielding a barrage of inquiries from numerous journalists. Following the interviews, a reception was held to
These topics kept resurfacing, and unlike the casual remarks from @RisingHustuabourg alleging Keegan's abandonment without solid evidence, these topics were backed by concrete proof. For example, there was a severance letter signed and fingerprinted by Dahlia herself, along with remittance records, evidence of Blake's gambling, and her repayment of his debts.The online discussions immediately flared up."Not buying a house but spending two billion in just over a year? Poverty sure puts a damper on my imagination.""Over ten million a month... I hope my mom never sees this; she might feel insulted by my mere thousand.""Adopted son, biological brother, case closed.""Isn't it remarkable how quickly the narrative changes? The Vinci Rivera Group's PR is truly something. Within a few hours, not only did they gain momentum for their products, but they also effortlessly cleared Keegan's name. But seriously, what mother would air her family's dirty laundry online? And she even financial
She thought that once her children grew up, her days of hardship would be over, but she didn't expect that after he got married, he gradually drifted away from her.Dahlia probably feared offending the Saun family, so she brushed over her daughter-in-law's issue.She described a lot about her relationship with Blake, mentioning that he had saved Keegan's life when he was young, so she couldn't forget his kindness.She also admitted that she knew this was wrong, and she no longer cared about the Crosby family's affairs, just wanting to be on good terms with her son.Dahlia must have sought advice from someone knowledgeable. After causing such a fuss for so long, she finally realized that there was no benefit to causing a rift. Instead, her goal was to use this incident to morally manipulate Keegan, allowing her to continue enjoying the treatment of being Mrs. Kane.After all, Blake had already betrayed her, and there was no way Chandler's family would ignore everything for her. She coul
“We've always celebrated maternal love, and rightly so, as it's truly remarkable. However, not every mother embodies this virtue. Those who exploit maternal love to control their children and selfishly demand from them—can we really fault the child for rebelling?“For years since Keegan graduated, he's been consistently donating money for books and scholarships to our alma mater. Last year, when the school requested him to write messages for the children, we all expected words of encouragement for their studies and future endeavors. Instead, he wrote, "May you grow up free of worries and full of happiness." It's evident he's still in touch with his inner child.“It's been over a decade since his graduation, and our communication hasn't been frequent. However, two years ago, when my husband required surgery, my child was studying abroad, and my own health had deteriorated over the years, Keegan somehow got wind of it. He arranged for my husband's hospitalization and personally handled
Once the woman who held the top position in the wives' social circle, Dahlia had now become universally scorned and despised. There was no longer any hope for her to thrive in this circle.Under Keegan's Facebook post, new comments began to surface gradually, overshadowing the previous insults. The trending topics also started to shift.One of the most talked-about topics was #Keegan'sCollegeEntranceExamScore#.Before the press conference, many people saw Keegan as no different from other wealthy heirs. If there was any difference, it was that he had fewer scandals and maintained a lower profile.However, in the eyes of netizens, there wasn't much disparity between a low-key wealthy heir and a high-profile one: both relied on their family background to effortlessly access top resources. Even if they lacked personal capability, they could still achieve levels of wealth and success that ordinary people could only dream of.So, when a netizen posted Keegan's college entrance exam sco
The waiter crashed right where Stella had been standing, sending the table and its contents crashing to the ground, shards of glass flying in every direction. Stella, still shaken, felt her heart pounding in her chest as she turned even paler.A voice beside her said, "Don't worry, everything's fine." Stella snapped out of it, looking at Marshall Moore who was holding her. She took a deep breath, pulling her wrist away and whispered softly, "Thank you."Marshall's eyes showed concern, but he held back from moving closer. He tightened his grip on Stella's hand, murmuring, "As long as you're okay."Keegan, wearing a stern expression, approached. Before he could react, Stella stepped forward, grabbing his hand. "Get someone to clean up. Don't alarm the guests."Keegan's hand trembled slightly in hers. Stella squeezed it firmly, her eyes assuring him that she was fine, urging him to stay composed.She noticed a few kids chasing each other, accidentally tripping the waiter. It was just
Why did Marshall bother dragging Keegan upstairs when he was already drunk? Couldn't he just place Keegan downstairs? Even if it was for Keegan's comfort, why did Marshall wait downstairs for her? There were only two elevators going up; could she really have missed them? Keegan always had a disdain for the Jewell family. He wouldn't give Sophia a chance to get close to him while sober. And Sophia wasn't the sharpest tool in the shed. If she had the capability, she would have succeeded long ago. So when Marshall drank water, it wasn't because of a headache, but to stall for time, making sure she could catch them in the act.The more Stella thought about it, the more uneasy she felt. What was Marshall feeling when he came to aid the person responsible for his first love's death?"Stella?"Seeing her silence, her face still somewhat pale, Marshall gently called her.Stella's fingers trembled slightly, then she clenched them, steadying her emotions. She reached out and took i
Marshall idly spun the glass around before finally offering a light smile. "Maybe he’s seen it, or perhaps it was all just a joke."Stella lowered her gaze and remained silent.Glancing at a group of children nearby, Marshall suddenly inquired, "Is the little girl from the memorial service still with the Kane family?"Stella nodded. "Keegan brought her to the mansion."Marshall appeared somewhat surprised. "Weren't they supposed to hand her over to her relatives?"Stella explained, "Aldor mentioned that the child lost all her immediate family, and no other relatives were willing to take her. Keegan was worried about sending her to an orphanage, so he decided to keep her by his side for the time being."Taking a sip of tea, Marshall asked, "Have you all not considered putting her up for adoption?"Stella chuckled softly. "I did bring it up once with Keegan, and we ended up arguing. He accused me of not being able to accept a child. If it weren't for the paternity test I arranged
