Mr. Kane Got Blacklisted

Trevor stayed silent for a moment.

He had initially thought his sister was blinded by love, but it seemed that Keegan was the one with the love-struck brain from start to finish, like a silly dog. Quite pitiful, really.

After a brief consideration, he asked, "What if Dahlia doesn't do those things later on? Wouldn't your plan fall through?"

Stella responded gently, "The mom who raised me didn't just teach me to seek revenge but also to forgive. If there are no further incidents, it means she still cares for Keegan to some extent, and she's not inherently evil. As long as she doesn't create trouble, I don't mind Keegan taking care of her in her old age." Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.

Keegan had given Dahlia too many chances, and all she ever gave him in return was escalating cruelty. It was actually good to finally make Keegan lose heart without disappointing herself.

"What's the plan now?" Trevor inquired.

Stella's tone remained calm, "What I do depends on what Dahlia chooses to do."

She skipped over that topic and asked Trevor, "Have you found Dillon Brook?"

Trevor nodded. "She rented a small apartment near the city hospital and goes there regularly for treatment and medication adjustment. I asked around and found out her condition is not easy to treat; she's in poor health, suffering from depression, and needs long-term medication.

"She's not very social, comes out every two days to buy groceries and necessities, and doesn't go out much otherwise. She's very wary and resistant to contact with strangers. The surveillance team said

she walks around the neighborhood or park on weekend afternoons, often staring at a group of children for hours.

"I even sent two people to try and approach her, but it was not successful. She was very wary, and she didn't want any sort of contact with strangers.

It's difficult to go anywhere near her."

Stella didn't respond.

Previous investigations on Paul Morant revealed that the fire years ago claimed his six-month pregnant fiance. However, it was actually Paul who died in the fire, whereas Dillon lived. There was no information about Paul having children. Presumably, the fetus she was carrying was also lost in the fire.

She herself was so severely injured; it was likely that the child couldn't be saved either.

After some thought, Stella suggested, "Trevor, how about getting a single mother with a child to live next door to her? Someone with a gentler personality who likes children could use the child as a way to gradually make contact." "That's one option," Trevor mused, then frowned. "It's easy to find burly men, but it's not easy to find single mothers with children who are willing to cooperate."

Stella spoke warmly, "Shea can do it." "Who?" "My former assistant, Shea Cheel. I haven't been filming for a few months, and Kai has arranged for her to help other artists. Shea got divorced, has a son in kindergarten. Her ex-husband remarried last month, and the new wife isn't keen on being a stepmom, so the husband sent the child to her. The child is now with her, but it is affecting her work. Kai has mentioned it a few times, wanting to transfer her to another position."
