Mr. Kane Got Blacklisted

Dahlia quietly slipped money to Blake to get him on her side.

Quitting gambling was just like quitting drugs. You might manage to stay clean for a while, but one slip and it was tough to regain control.

Blake found himself drawn back to the casino, while Kanrara, juggling the care of two kids, had little energy left to oversee him or the company. Just as things were looking up for the company, it teetered on the edge of collapse. Coincidentally, Keegan had already taken charge at the Vinci Rivera Group, and Dahlia began leveraging the Kane family's name to collaborate with Blake.

Kanrara shifted her focus to the kids' education, neglecting company matters. Blake gambled recklessly. Even though Kanrara held the purse strings, the money he squandered was all supplied by Dahlia.

Recently, Marshall mentioned their impending divorce, apparently triggered by Blake's affair and asset transfers.

Later, Stella discussed this with Keegan. He opined that since Kanrara managed the finances, Blake wouldn't dare to keep a mistress. Any cash he had would go straight to the casino. Why would any woman be foolish enough to be his mistress? Was she after his wealth or his gambling habit?

The more Stella thought about it, the odder it seemed. So she told Trevor," Trevor, let's track Kanrara's movements and look into her financial dealings."

The next day, Trevor brought news again: Kanrara had taken the kids to Bostown, with eight million deposited into her account from Blake. This material belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.

Meanwhile, Blake received ten million from Dahlia, money she had gotten from Stella.

After a spat between Dahlia and Kanrara months ago, Dahlia became the company's legal representative. While the company was indeed in dire straits financially, Blake's supposed efforts to raise funds were a sham.

The couple plotted to swindle Dahlia's money. With Dahlia now the company’s legal rep, she couldn't shirk responsibility. If the company went under, she'd be left holding the bag.

No wonder she demanded a billion from Stella.

Stella curled her lips coldly. Dahlia too deserved to experience betrayal from her loved ones.

During afternoon tea, when Dahlia called to pester her, Stella transferred another ten million.

Then, she made a call to Vermont Snyder, saying with a smile, "Vermont, let's hit up an underground casino."

Frowning, he replied, "What underground casino? I have no idea what you're talking about."

Stella explained, "Keegan said part of your startup capital came from the casino. He claims you've never lost a roll of the dice."

He scoffed, "Only a fool like Keegan would buy that."

Raising an eyebrow, Stella said, "Mom was once cheated by her partner, who gambled away workers' wages. It led to Aunt Florence being injured by workers demanding their pay. Mom despises gamblers the most."

He fell silent for a moment before gritting his teeth, "You're conniving.

Aren't you afraid of reaping what you sow?"

She retorted, "Thanks for the concern. Having a plan is better than being naive."

After they hung up, Felicity Thompson gave her a thumbs up. "You sure know how to spin a tale. You're such a smooth talker. I can just imagine how badly Keegan has fallen for your deceptions."
