On the 20th of May, Stella Jewell posted a new update of her status on social media: Single, Free to Mingle. PS: Priorities for physically healthy individuals. The accompanying image was a divorce certificate. This surge of actions from Stella was just like she was in the past when she had married into the Kane family without warning. This news caused carnage within her circle of friends. Right after her breakup, she implied that her ex-husband, Keegan Kane, was sterile. Did she have a death wish for doing so? Who is Keegan Kane? A ruthless person that could sue the media company, that had made rumors, until they were bankrupt. Would he tolerate his ex-wife, who left the marriage with nothing, to connote him in such a way? In the end, after twenty minutes, everyone had their jaws dropped again. Under Stella's new account, the newly registered account commented, "Let me out of the blacklist!"
View More"Blake was just about to quit gambling, and then you come along, giving him money, encouraging him to gamble. You're afraid he might walk a straight path, afraid our marriage might actually work out, and you won't have control over him! You’re afraid you won't be able to control the Crosby family! What exactly are you planning?"You took control of everything just because you brought in a few deals for the company! You dictate what car Blake buys, what clothes he wears, and when I visit my mom in the hospital, you accuse me of wasting family money. Do you not have a mother? When your daughter learns the piano, it's considered character-building, but when mine learns the violin, suddenly it's a waste of money! You act like we don’t deserve good things in life!"We're all raised by our parents. How noble do you think you are? Huh?"Kanrara's eyes were bloodshot as she grabbed and scratched at Dahlia, wanting to release years of resentment.Dahlia, battered, blocked Kanrara's attacks
Dahlia felt a twinge of guilt and immediately lost the fiery momentum of her earlier shouting, but she still pushed herself to say, "She already has asthma, so who's to blame if she can't control her emotions?"Trevor remarked casually, "The people Jaylene brought with her said you swindled her out of her money. This matter seems related to her condition, right?"Dahlia's heart skipped a beat, and then she spotted Stella. Her eyes instantly lit up. "Stella, you've come at the perfect time."Stella hesitated.It was odd. It was the first time Dahlia had spoken to her with such enthusiasm.Dahlia attempted to approach, but Trevor calmly positioned himself in front of Stella, preventing Dahlia from getting too close.Dahlia halted in her tracks, eager. "Stella, you promised me before that you'd give me a billion to settle the company's debts. You can't just go back on your word."Her eyes suggested to Stella that if she didn't hand over the money, she shouldn't be surprised if Dahl
Blake was definitely Dahlia's brother.Stella had been with her in-laws for three years. While she knew Dahlia was vain and not a good person, she had never seen Dahlia get into a fight like this, completely disregarding her image and reputation.Dahlia was used to using harsh and cutting words to humiliate and ridicule others. Even when angry, she maintained the manners and etiquette expected of a lady from a prestigious family. She would never engage in a brawl like a shrew. This was also why she disliked Kanrara so much. In Dahlia's eyes, Kanrara was nothing but a shrew who loved to fight and curse.It turned out Dahlia was so composed because they hadn't hurt anyone she cared about. Once that line had been crossed, it turned out she couldn't stay calm either.Stella thought to herself, thankfully she didn't bring Keegan up here. He was such a dignified person; if he saw this, he would probably be upset again.Trevor pulled Stella aside to prevent her from getting involved wi
Stella got a call from Trevor Saun in the wee hours.Jaylene had an asthma attack and was rushed to the hospital; Blake and Kanrara took her there.Stella, originally feeling very sleepy, perked up upon hearing the news. She asked softly, "How is she doing now?"Trevor replied, "She’s still in the emergency room. We just got to the hospital and haven't seen her yet. You don't need to come over. Just send a fruit basket tomorrow.""How can I not go?" Stella narrowed her eyes. "After all, she's my stepsister. If I don't go to see her after such a big incident, people will talk. Trevor, send me the address, I'll be there in a while."Knowing his sister's strong-minded nature, Trevor didn't argue. He reminded her to drive carefully and sent her the address.Before ending the call, Stella added, "Trevor, ask Blake to call Dahlia. How can she, as a party involved, be absent from such a big event?"Trevor hesitated for a moment. "Stella, do you want to discuss this with Keegan? After a
Galaxy Bay Villa.Kanrara couldn't help but laugh at Jaylene's arrival, "Ms. Saun, let's be reasonable here. If someone owes you money, you should go after them. Why come to me? I haven't laid eyes on your money."Through clenched teeth, Jaylene retorted, "Dahlia took the money from me and used it to cover your husband's gambling debts. If I don't come to you, then who should I go to?""Then go find him. Why should I be responsible for his gambling losses?" Kanrara placed her cup down, "Besides, we signed an agreement ages ago. In case of divorce, his gambling debts are his burden. We're already in the process of divorcing, so his affairs are none of my concern."With a firm tone, she ushered Jaylene to leave, "Ms. Saun, it's getting late, and my children have school tomorrow. I won't keep you for tea."Unwilling to accept defeat, Jaylene spoke sharply, "None of your concern? Then why does your account still have the eight million Blake transferred? The divorce must be a sham. It
"Why did you come to Caline to confront Stella instead of going to the Vinci Rivera Group to find him?" Jaylene asked.Dahlia couldn't respond.Naturally, she dared not stir up trouble at the Vinci Rivera Group. Threats of suing Keegan were ultimately just a ploy to extract money. She didn't want to sever ties with the Kane family unless absolutely necessary. After all, who would support her in her old age? So she sought out Stella. Stella, pregnant and residing in Royalpark Villa, signaled that remarriage with Keegan was imminent, whether his memory had been recovered or not. As a married couple, she couldn't afford to disregard Keegan's reputation. But Dahlia hadn't anticipated that after getting so little money, Stella would simply ignore her!"Does Keegan also know that you need the money to settle your brother's gambling debts?" Jaylene ground her teeth. "Aunt Dahlia, have you ever been honest with me?"Dahlia contemplated arguing, but Jaylene's icy stare silenced her. "I do
Exiting the pantry, Stella hadn't gone far when she abruptly halted. Jaylene stood silently at the corridor's bend, observing her."Stella, there are some things I shouldn't say, but I can't hold back. Are you really encouraging someone to cut ties with their own mother?"Stella replied casually, "If you know it's best not to say something, then just keep quiet! What do you really know? Who are you to judge me? Just because you chipped in some money for Dahlia's debt?"Jaylene's expression hardened. "So you were aware Aunt Dahlia waited for you all day yesterday, and you intentionally avoided her." Stella nodded. "Yes, but I didn't anticipate you'd be so generous as to lend her money." Jaylene shot her a disdainful look. "I'm not as cold-hearted as you, ignoring people in need! You claim to love Keegan, yet you treat his mother so cruelly. Is that what you call love?"Stella chuckled, "I'm certainly not as noble as you. I care for Keegan, but not to the point of losing my san
Kiara sighed, "You know, the Perfume Blending Department isn't as friendly as it appears on the surface."Kiara went on to explain that a significant portion of the Perfume Blending Department employees' income came from bonuses, in addition to their base salary and skill-based pay. Ideally, bonuses should reflect the amount of work done by each team every month. However, in reality, there was a disparity in the capabilities of each team. Some teams were highly efficient and completed a lot of work, yet their bonuses were almost the same as those of other teams' members.Darcie, being so astute, wouldn't be unaware of the drawbacks of this equal distribution. The root cause was that there were several relatives of high-level executives on the board of directors in the Perfume Blending Department. These individuals were mostly just figureheads, as the Perfume Blending Department had the highest salaries in the company, so they were placed there.While some were receiving salaries wit
Stella glanced over at her, gave a slight nod, and went back to eating with her head down.As Jaylene fetched utensils, she engaged Sonia in conversation, "Sonia, our team leader mentioned she assigned you some tasks yesterday, but you didn’t complete them. What happened?"Sonia responded, "I finished the tasks she assigned to me. That particular one wasn't on my list."Jaylene sighed, "Sonia, I understand you're new here and might not enjoy these mundane tasks. But you were exempted from the regular process to join, which was already a special treatment. With everyone watching, certain tasks still need to be completed. If you find them too challenging, I can ask your team leader to assign simpler ones. However, leaving tasks undone without informing anyone isn't acceptable. How can your team leader manage others if this happens?"Sonia pursed her lips and reiterated, "She didn't assign me to handle that form. I completed the tasks she gave me."Jaylene frowned, lightly tapping he
