Mr. Kane Got Blacklisted

Stella averted her gaze and addressed Baldwin, "Baldwin, I'm hereto pick up Coco."

Baldwin replied, "Coco is practicing the piano. I'll take you to her."

Stella nodded and was about to follow him when Dahlia stopped her, resentfully saying, "Stella, you must be feeling so proud, kicking me out of the Kane family and separating me from my son."

Stella paused, calmly looking at her. "I guess. Give it a little more time, and I might even be prouder."

A hint of hatred flickered in Dahlia's eyes, but she quickly suppressed it.

She clenched her fists and whispered, "I want to talk to you." This content © Nôv/elDr(a)m/a.Org.

Stella smiled coldly, "Is there anything left to discuss between US?"

She hadn't forgotten why Dahlia ended up there. A woman who had tried to harm her baby wouldn't get a second chance from her.

She was puzzled, though. Why would Dahlia suddenly demand a share of her late father-in-law’s inheritance?

Even though Dahlia had been kicked out of the Kane family and Keegan had cut her off, providing only a small amount of living expenses, barely enough to get by, Aurora Kane hadn't completely abandoned her.

She still had feelings for Dahlia. Even though she had been so wronged by Dahlia, Dahlia had raised and loved her since she was a child. She couldn't just turn a blind eye to her. On the day Dahlia was released, Aurora went to see her and gave her some money.

When Keegan mentioned this to her, trying to gauge whether she would interfere with Aurora’s decision, Stella glanced at the cunning man.

Did he really think he could hide his ulterior motives from her?

Keegan wasn't allowing Aurora to help Dahlia out of kindness; he was afraid that if he stopped her, and something happened to Dahlia in the future because of money, Aurora would blame him and their sibling relationship would be strained.

But if he didn't stop her, he feared she might misunderstand and think he was showing mercy to Dahlia. So he threw the problem to Stella, letting her decide.

Initially, Stella hadn't planned to stop Aurora. Aurora had a rebellious streak, and sometimes, it was better to let things flow rather than stop them from happening. Besides, Aurora had cut herself off from the family's finances when she tried to get into the company. She only had a meager salary every month, barely enough to support herself, let alone Dahlia.

But, even though Stella understood, the man's schemes still annoyed her a bit. He really thought she was that petty! So she sent him to the study for two nights in a row, until finally, he came crawling back in the middle of the night, massaging her legs, apologizing pitifully.

It had been over a week since Dahlia was released. Aurora should have given her the majority of her savings by now. And with all the years Dahlia had spent using Keegan's money to buy luxury bags and jewelry, she should still have some left. If she were to sell those things, she wouldn't be broke. So why was she suddenly asking Cordelia to divide her late husband's inheritance, asking for so much money?

Dahlia lowered her voice, full of resentment, "Stella, you don't want your pregnancy to go public, do you? Don't think I don't know that you're keeping it a secret to scheme against Jaylene!"

Stella remained silent, which, to Dahlia, meant she was scared.

Baldwin didn't hear Dahlia’s words. He whispered, "Madam Stella."

Stella pursed her lips, "Baldwin, wait for me for a moment."

Then, she glanced at Dahlia and said coolly, "Get in the car."

Dahlia got in, glanced at the driver in the front seat, and said coldly, "Tell him to leave, I want to talk to you alone."

Stella smiled. "You’re a woman with a criminal record. Why would you think I'd talk to you alone? Are you trying to scheme against your own grandson again? If you have something to say, say it. If not, get out of the car."

Dahlia's body stiffened for a moment. She gritted her teeth and finally said after a long pause, "Give me a billion, or I'll sue Keegan for not supporting me."
