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

"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

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

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

Stella was worried Trevor might redirect his anger toward Keegan, so she explained, "When I had the car accident years ago, I injured my uterus. Dahlia gave me those medicines, claiming they were for my recovery. Neither Keegan nor I suspected she would tamper with them. They tasted awful, so when the nanny wasn't looking, I discreetly got rid of them. I didn't consume much of it...""Mm," Trevor responded casually, "I know."Stella glanced at Trevor's face for a moment, feeling somewhat relieved. Maybe he wasn't as angry now, especially since she was pregnant, indicating her body was still okay.However, this relief evaporated when Trevor caught sight of Keegan. Without a word, he landed a punch on Keegan's face, causing it to immediately swell.Stella was startled, quickly stepping forward to shield Keegan, anxiously asking, "Trevor! What are you doing?""Stella, get out of the way!" Trevor clenched his fists, his expression grim, and gritted his teeth. "Since you married her,
