Keegan would start arguing with Stella without hesitation if he were to hear the same thing back then.
Aurora was different from Dahlia to him as he really treated Aurora as his sister.
Keegan and Quentin both looked forward to Aurora coming into this world.
Aurora used to like him very much.She always kept the best things from everybody else because shewanted to give them to Keegan.
Keegan started living with Cordelia after Quentin passed away.He spent most of his childhood withCordelia ever since he almost drowned.
Cordelia was worried that Dahlia would make a mistake while raising Keegan.She also hated how sheviewed things.
All Dahlia thought about was the Crosbys, and she did not want Dahlia to corrupt Keegan.
So, Cordelia decided to raise him despite her age.
However, Aurora was too young and could not live without her mother yet.
Dahlia would not let Cordelia take Aurora away from her either, so Cordelia let her take care of Aurora.
After Quentin passed away, Keegan and Aurora would only see each other on the weekends andholidays.
Time passed, and Aurora grew up.
Then, she lost the innocence she once had when she was younger.
Aurora would treat Stella fairly well in front of Keegan when they were still married but do the completeopposite behind his back.
Even though Stella had never complained about Aurora and Dahlia to him, it did not mean there wasnothing wrong between them.
Perhaps Keegan was biased, and he let it slide when Aurora said something disrespectful because hethought she was just spoiled.
However, he began connecting the dots after thinking of what happened back then.
For example, Aurora knew that he purposely bought a cake for Stella to celebrate her birthday with her,yet Aurora purposely took it to throw a party and told him that Stella allowed her to do so.
Also, Aurora knocked over the essential oil he bought for Stella when he went on a business tripbecause she could not find her souvenir.
Stella told him Aurora did that on purpose, but he did not confront her because it was just a bottle ofessential oil.
Even though the essential oil bottle meant nothing, it made him realize the small little evil things Auroradid and how blinded he was.
She would always act like a spoiled and wayward girl, like she was younger, in front of the people shewas familiar with, like himself or Marshall.
However, she did not bother to hide her wicked nature in front of outsiders.
Dahlia spoiled her too much, and Keegan thought that Stella was very right when she said Aurorawould do whatever she wanted without thinking if it was right or wrong.
To her, every mistake she committed and the people she harmed could be fixed with money and theinfluence of the Kane family.
How Dahlia raised her corrupted her moral compass, making her think that everything in the worldcould be fixed because of how powerful her family was.
"You're right.Perhaps I never really know her."
Keegan pursed his lips and suddenly asked, "In these years, without me knowing, did she treatyou...particularly bad?"
Stella paused and stretched the corner of her mouth.Then, she said after a while, Keegan, somethinghappened after we got married.I never dared to tell you about it."
Keegan looked at her and felt a little uneasy.
"What is it?"
Stella looked down and said, "Perhaps I'm not very forgiving, but I would never hate Aurora this muchjust because she said something disrespectful to me.
"She's your sister, and I'm your wife.I did not expect a good relationship with her after marrying you.Iwas prepared to do whatever it took to get along with her.
"She's the only daughter in your family, and it's perfectly fine for her to be a little spoiled and willful,but..."
She felt disgusted, but she hid it from Keegan and continued, "'I can't forgive her for taking me toJackson's bed on the night we got married."
The look on Keegan's face changed completely.
"W-what did you say?"
