Chapter 2176
The Crosby family had been declining ever since Dahlia tied the knot. The Crosby siblings, all looks and no brains, would havedisappeared from high society long ago if not for the support of the Kane family in recent years.
After Keegan cut ties with Dahlia, who was using Cordelia's name to manipulate and deceive for her brother's business, thealready struggling company took a further nosedive.
But Blake's wife running off with the money? Stella wasn't buying it.
They hadn't even gotten a divorce, so where could she possibly run off to with two children in tow? If she was going to leave,why not do it when Blake had money? Without money, where could she possibly go?
And Keegan��s aunt wasn't that naive.
Blake was a gambler, blowing through half of the Crosby family's fortune despite his good looks and respectable background.None of the well- mannered girls wanted to marry a gambler like him.
Blake's wife, Kanrara Kent, was introduced to him by someone from the Crosby family. She came from an average family, lookedplain, and had a fiery temperament.
Blake didn't tie the knot until he was well into his thirties. At the time, Keegan was almost done with middle school, so heremembered the events vividly.
With Keegan's maternal grandfather already gone and his maternal grandmother not in great health, the responsibility ofarranging the marriage fell on Dahlia's shoulders.
Dahlia strongly disliked Kanrara, finding her crude, uncultured, unattractive, and from an average background. Despite herobjections, her mother was determined to have Kanrara.
Seeing that persuasion was futile, Dahlia decided to make a statement at the wedding by swapping Kanrara's red envelope,traditionally given to the bride, with one containing only a coin.
She thought this would put Kanrara in her place, but during the toasting ceremony, when Kanrara was chatting with Cordelia andKeegan nearby, the coin rolled out of the open envelope.
Everyone knew it was a red envelope from the Crosby family. Even if Dahlia wanted to assert authority over the new bride,humiliating her with a mere coin was too much.
Despite the Crosby family��s decline, they couldn't afford such embarrassment. Mrs. Crosby, Keegan��s maternal grandmother,immediately claimed it was a mistake and gave Kanrara a substantial red envelope.
Keegan said the Crosby grandparents had no boundaries when it came to spoiling their children. Blake ended up a messbecause of it. The only thing they got right was marrying Blake to Kanrara; otherwise, the siblings would have squandered theCrosby family's fortune.
