Keegan's expression changed slightly."Are you saying my mother switched the medicine?"Of course, Aldor did not dare to suspect that. He merely said, "Mr. Kane, how does Mrs. Kane treat Ms. Stella?"Keegan was stunned for a moment.Dahlia did not treat Stella well.When they got married, Dahlia was the person who opposed them the most.She believed that Stella's background was not good enough for the Kane family. She also felt that Stella was not dignified like how a lady from a respectable family should be. So, she was very dissatisfied.Dahlia should be the one who talked about the marriage with Cordelia. But, she was not happy with Stella. So, Keegan got past Dahlia and discussed the marriage proposal with Cordelia.After his marriage with Stella was confirmed, only then did Dahlia know about it. Dahlia's face was gloomy the whole time when Cordelia announced their marriage.After Keegan and Stella got married, Dahlia did not contact them much because they lived separately
Keegan pursed his lips and transferred another million dollars. The message said, [I'm worried about you...]For that message, Stella was too lazy to even take a look. She honestly thought that there was something wrong with Keegan's brain at that moment. She felt that the ruckus she and Keegan had caused was ugly enough, yet Keegan was still here as if she was the one who was fooling around with him. She even thought that Keegan transferred money to her non-stop because he believed that Stella had divorced him for the money.Keegan waited for a long while, but he did not see Stella's reply. His heart was unavoidably slightly depressed.Aldor saw Keegan's expression, and he knew that Keegan had hit a brick wall regarding the madam.Thus, he comforted him. "Mr. Kane, this is not an urgent issue. The madam still has anger in her heart. You have to give her time to cool down."Keegan replied with an "Mhm." Then, he continued, "Get some people to put out news about the advantages of s
Stella really liked children, and she was very adept at wrangling with them. Bo used to be very naughty, but when he was with Stella, he would be very well-behaved. Just when they were having fun, a phone rang.Stella saw that it was Dahlia with a glance, and her face fell even more. She hung up the phone, directly blacklisted Dahlia's contact, and deleted her contact. No one picked up the phone call. Dahlia furrowed her brows and called again. This time, it would not even get through.'Stella isn't brave enough to not pick up my phone calls. It looks like their marriage was, as Aurora said, divorced,' Dahlia thought.Bo was slightly tired from playing, so Stella took him to the couch to rest. When she came back to the dinner table, the phone rang again. It was an unknown number this time, so Stella accepted the call."It's me," Dahlia's voice came from the other end of the phone. It sounded like a crouched poisonous snake that was spitting its snaky tongue on a person's body. It m
The morning the next day, Stella had woken up early. She meticulously prepared herself. Even though she had divorced Keegan, in the aspect of vigor, she did not want to lose to them, especially when meeting with Dahlia.She rushed to Proper Road at ten forty, sat in the car across the road, and waited. At precisely ten o'clock, a white BMW stopped in front of the entrance of the coffee shop. Then, a chauffeur came down from the car and went around to the backseat to open the door.After that, Dahlia came down from the car. She had kept herself neat and elegant as usual. A white vintage tweed jacket was on her upper body, while a black velvet skirt was on the lower half. Her hair was curled and tidied exquisitely. On her right hand was a black alligator skin Chanel bag. She wore an emerald ring the size of a pigeon's egg on her left index finger. Dahlia held her chin slightly high and slowly moved toward the coffeehouse.But, when she arrived at the coffee shop, she did not see Stell
Stella did not know, but Dahlia clearly knew about it. The thumb ring itself was not valuable, but the emerald thumb ring represented the position of the matriarch of the Kane family.The origins of the thumb ring were ancient. They seemed to be passed on by the Kane family ancestors and ultimately arrived in Cordelia's hand. When Cordelia made her name, the emerald thumb ring had already become her hallmark, symbolizing her identity as the Kane family matriarch.Cordelia had two sons and a daughter. The daughter was married off to a faraway land while her two sons stayed with her. Logically, after the two sons were married, she had to select a new owner for the thumb ring. By convention, it should belong to the eldest daughter-in-law.However, after her marriage with Quentin, Cordelia did not give her the emerald thumb ring as of late.In the past, she was pregnant out of wedlock when she married Quentin. Due to this layer of elements, Dahlia always felt that Cordelia was quite cr
Dahlia's expression was still normal despite being anxious deep down due to her incident being exposed. But, her face did not show anything."You say that I drugged you and caused you to be infertile. But, what evidence do you have? Just based on this bottle of drugs?" Dahlia snorted lightly, "You were originally barren. What's wrong with me seeking an alternative medicine to help nurse your body? You can take this medicine to any random inspection agency and see which agency would be able to detect the toxicity of these medicines."Stella gripped her fists tightly. This was the brilliance of Dahlia. Poisoning was too apparent, and she could be prosecuted at any minute by taking the toxicity analysis reports.However, it was different if she used alternative medicine. These types of medicine would not show their effects after one consumption. They need a long time to accumulate. Even if she was holding the bottle of medicine and found out that there was an ingredient that would be b
"Hand over the emerald thumb ring. Do that and I'll forget about the money you got from Keegan."Stella sneered, "Dahlia, did you get confused or something? Didn't Keegan tell you that I didn't get anything from our divorce?"'Although, after we got divorced, that psychotic Keegan constantly transferred money to me,' said Stella in her mind.Dahlia looked very unhappy when she heard Stella address her by her name. She frowned after hearing what Stella said. "You didn't get anything?"Stella was frustrated. 'Didn't Keegan tell anyone about our divorce? Why didn't Aurora and Dahlia know about it?'Dahlia sized Stella up from top to bottom. 'She's indeed wearing clothes from relatively smaller brands. These clothes are only worth around a thousand dollars. The bag she's using is worth less than ten thousand dollars. She doesn't look like she received much money from the divorce settlement.'Keegan didn't give her a single penny?' Dahlia thought and was a little surprised.She then
"Who do you think you are?" She clenched her teeth.Keegan saw the scene right after he went into the shop, and he suddenly looked gloomy. But, he was too late to stop her.The coffee splashed on Stella's chin and neck. The brown color coffee flowed down her face and stained her white top.The weather in the early summer was hot, and the material of Stella's top was thin. When the coffee splashed on her body, it permeated her shirt. Her shirt then very quickly stuck to her body. Her lingerie could be seen clearly.Keegan looked unhappy. He removed his jacket and walked forward to put his jacket over Stella's body. He then turned his head and coldly stared at Dahlia. "What are you doing?"His tone was not friendly. It clearly showed that he was furious.Dahlia, however, was a little confused. 'Why is Keegan here?'She stared at Stella who was calmly wiping the coffee stain on her face with the back of her hand. After that, Dahlia finally realized what had happened.'She did this
