Chapter 2173
Stella glanced at her. "Keegan deposits your living expenses into your account every month. He also has evidence of the money you've been withdrawing from the company's account over the years. Do you think you can win this case?" NôvelDrama.Org: owner of this content.
Dahlia sneered, "Even if I can't win, do you think such a scandal wont affect The Vinci Rivera Group's stocks or his election votes?"
Stella's smile faded gradually. She couldn't fathom how there could be such a shameless and despicable mother, selfish enough to ruin her own son's life.
Darcie Arnold and Hylda White were so malicious, yet they stood by their children. What was Dahlia?
Stella looked at her in silence for a moment, then spoke, "What do you need so much money for?"
Dahlia impatiently replied, "That's none of your business. Just transfer the money to me. I'll give you three days. If you don't, I'll sue Keegan immediately!"
Stella's expression turned serious. "If it weren't for a paternity test, I would seriously doubt if Keegan is your biological son! If you don't love him, why did you have him? And since you had him, why neglect him? He has finally achieved everything today, and you still want to ruin him. Are you even worthy of being called a mother?"
Gritting her teeth, Dahlia retorted, "The relationship between my son and me was fine until you, the troublemaker, came along. How could Keegan treat me like this if it weren't for you? He showed me no kindness first, so don't blame me for being heartless!" "Watching your own son drown for the sake of vanity and comparison, is that what you call a fine relationship?"
Somehow, this struck a chord with Dahlia. She became agitated. "You know nothing! If it weren't for my strictness, could he have achieved what he has today?"
Stella chuckled at this twisted logic.
Dahlia, tired of the talk, hardened her expression again. "Enough chatter.
Are you giving me the one billion or not?"
Stella stared at the face somewhat resembling Keegan's for a while before saying, "I can give it to you, but I need you to sign an agreement."
Frowning, Dahlia asked, "What agreement?"
Stella looked up. "An agreement to sever the mother-son relationship with Keegan."
Samuel Herston felt a jolt in his heart.
Dahlia was taken aback but remained silent for a few seconds, then pursed her lips. "If I sign, will you transfer the money immediately?"
Stella's heart sank. She thought that Dahlia was hesitating because she couldn't bear to let go of Keegan, but it turned out she was worried about whether the money would come through. She smirked coldly. "Of course."
Dahlia immediately agreed. Tine."
She and Keegan were mother and son by blood; such an agreement would be meaningless. What a fool!
Stella quickly drafted the agreement, printed it out, and handed it to Dahlia. After Dahlia signed and stamped it, she couldn't wait any longer. "Transfer the money."
Stella double-checked the signature, carefully put the document away in her bag, then took her phone and transferred the money to Dahlia.
Soon the money was transferred, and Dahlia's face turned red. "I asked for one billion, but why is there only ten million? Stella, are you kidding me?"
Stella replied nonchalantly, "Ms. Dahlia, surely you're aware of the limits on bank transfers? Also, you suddenly demanded one billion. I don't have that much at the moment. You'll have to give me some time to get the money from my family. Can I transfer the funds to you in installments within two weeks?"
