Dahlia's expression froze. She was aware of it, but after spending so much time there, it already felt like her own.After her husband passed away, Cordelia took charge and looked after Keegan, while Dahlia had to care for Aurora alone. Her love for Aurora was genuine, but it was also a means to secure her own future. She knew she wouldn't find another family as prestigious as the Kanes if she remarried.That's why she turned down Cordelia's offer, choosing to take custody instead when Cordelia proposed a significant sum of money along with handing over the children to the Kane family. Dahlia even declared that she would adhere to her husband's will and remain single until the children were grown up.The amount Cordelia mentioned was undoubtedly substantial, but what Dahlia lacked was not just money. Her deepest longing was for the reputation and status that came with being part of the Kane family.She chose to bring up Aurora because she would definitely not want to lose her curre
Everyone may have made a joke out of Aldor, but it also showed how much they trusted his character and ability.The words that came out from Dahlia's mouth were too hard on the ears when even Keegan would give Aldor his due respect.Aldor did not get angry. Instead, he smiled indifferently with a little coldness in his eyes and said, "Madam, I would be an obedient one even if I'm his lapdog. Why would I bite if my owner did not order it?"Dahlia's face turned red with anger. "You insignificant bastards! Even if there was a quarrel between us, I'm still Keegan's mother! I don't believe that he would treat me like this! Just you wait. I'll give him a call right now!"Aldor gestured to her to proceed and replied, "As you wish."Dahlia sullenly dialed Keegan's number, and the latter finally picked up when the ringtone was about to end.She suppressed her anger and asked, "Keegan, are you aware that Aldor came with a group of men?"Keegan said in an aloof tone, "Didn't Aldor tell you
Cyrene did not want to hear what Dahlia had to say. She was just trying to clarify Chandler's actions. So, she hung up immediately after she finished her words. Dahlia being kicked out of the Kane family was good news to Cyrene. In fact, it was great news. It would be stupid of Cyrene to let her husband help Dahlia out.Chandler's expression looked bad. He grabbed the phone from Cyrene and said sullenly, "Why did you say that?""What? Isn't that the truth?" Cyrene said angrily. "Aurora ran into trouble and came to our house. Keegan tore down our door and injured your son just to catch her! It's their family business. Why should we get involved? No one will remember our kindness later on."Chandler pursed his lips tightly and said after a long time, "Even so, you were too harsh.""I was being kind, Chandler. Do you remember how Dahlia treated us when your brother was still alive? Why should I turn the other cheek? I have nothing to say if it involves your family's best interest. But
Stella did the math and realized that it was the time of the year when she would receive new clothes from Cordelia. But..."Don't you know, Mr. Elrod?" Stella interrupted the man's introduction to the clothes."What do you mean, Mrs. Kane?" the man asked."I'm no longer part of the Kane family. There's no need for you to send me clothes anymore.""We haven't received any relevant instructions," said Thomas Elrod.Stella thought that this was the old lady's doing. Otherwise, they would not have come to her current residence bearing garments.When Stella and Keegan were still together, Stella accepted whatever gifts Cordelia gave. She was her favorite. But now that they were divorced, Stella felt that it would be inappropriate to accept them. "Hold on, Mr. Elrod. Let me make a call," she said.Thomas nodded and said, "Go ahead, Miss."Stella dialed for Cordelia, who was on vacation at a summer resort. Cordelia was fishing with Baldwin when Stella called. When Cordelia saw that it
"Hello? Mrs. Kane?""Put Keegan on the phone!" Stella said sullenly.Aldor glanced at Keegan, who was sitting next to him, widened his eyes, and said, "Mr. Kane is in a meeting right now. Would you like to leave a message?""Ask him if he thinks he's the man for doing such a thing without letting me know!""He's such an idiot; a 24K pure idiot!""What kind of drama does he think he's in? Does he think that I don't know how much of a mutt he is?""Does he think that giving someone candy after slapping them in the face is good enough? Fuck him.""You're so foolish, Keegan! What you did is extremely stupid!"Aldor put Stella on speaker just as she blurted out the first sentence. It was a rare occurrence for Stella to have so much to say about Keegan after the divorce. So, he had to let Keegan in on the speech.Keegan grimaced as Stella scolded him through the phone. He would have tried to refute it if he had not lied about being in a meeting.After saying what she wanted to say,
Stella collapsed on the couch. She was exhausted after sending Thomas and his party off. On the other hand, Felicity was full of energy, taking pictures of the clothes with her phone. While doing that, she said, "Hey, Stella. Why did you call and scold Keegan when he's trying to be decent?"After a while, Stella pressed her fingers against her temples and said, "I couldn't help it. I mean, have you ever met someone who sends you gifts in someone else's name?""Well, that Stinky Cucumber, Vermont, gave me a tortoise and told me that Dr. Steven gifted it as thanks for dinner. I took care of it day and night for one whole week before I realized that it was that mutt who bought it. He used Dr. Steven's name to prank me! That bastard!"Stella did not know how to respond to that. "It's not the same," she pursed her lips and said. "Keegan is an asshole. He'd never tell you that he did something good. Instead, he'd try to tease you and say that you're ungrateful."Now that Stella thought a
Stella fell silent.'It really does sound like something Keegan would do. After all, he actually bought the 108-piece diamond necklace I mentioned on a whim,' she thought.Stella's emotions rose and fell. Her heart was warm and swelled up.Finally, she said softly, "Why is he so silly?"Felicity was more concerned about the other issue."Is your ex-boyfriend really more handsome than Keegan?"Stella was speechless.Luna came over to pour her some tea. But, Stella pushed her cup to the side and said coolly, "I dated a guy in high school. We broke up after two weeks and stopped contacting each other a long time ago."'Besides, who could be more good-looking than Keegan?' she thought.Meanwhile, Keegan was at the Vinci Rivera Group, looking at the feedback data on his phone. He currently had a dark and gloomy expression.'I can't believe she has a first love!' he thought.Aldor looked at Keegan's expression, which turned from bright to gloomy. He could not help but sigh. "Mr. K
A Cayenne cost around a million. Celebrities of Bella's level scorned such cars.However, a car like that was considered high-end for a C-list celebrity.Yolanda had her own Audi A7, which was gifted to her by her sugar daddy. Even though she could afford the car with the income she got from acting, she could not afford to maintain it.That was why she conceitedly thought that Stella's Cayenne was a gift from her sugar daddy when she saw it.Yolanda could not help but feel jealous while making the snarky remark.Previously, Stella was revealed to have had a rendezvous with her sugar daddy. She was only cleared of the scandal because the Vinci Rivera Group came forward and clarified things.However, Yolanda still thought that the person who picked Stella up that night was definitely Stella's sugar daddy.'Who conducts business meetings in the middle of the night? Could a meeting in the middle of the night be something decent?' she thought.Apart from Stella stealing her role, on
