Chapter 232
“| went to an art exhibition with Ariel. She liked a painting, so | bought it. Unfortunately, it cost a few million. So | had to borrowmoney from friends.”
Dahlia frowned, “Did Ariel accept it?”
“No, Ariel said it was too valuable. And | couldn’t return it, so | stored it.”Dahlia’s mouth twitched. “Stay away from Marshall from now on.”“Why?” Aurora protested. “Didn’t you support me dating Marshall?”
“That was based on the condition that Marshall was interested in you too. Didn’t you see how he avoided you at the jewelryexhibition? Now you're chasing after him. Don’t you understand that?”
“Till go
after him no matter what it takes. There’s no other woman in his life, and I’m not bad- looking. Plus, we've been friends sincechildhood, and Ariel likes me. So it’s just a matter of time before we start dating.”
“If Marshall isn’t interested in you, marrying him would make you miserable.”
“Well, dad didn’t seem to like you very much at first. But you're doing fine now, aren’t you?” Dahlia was speechless and almostdied of anger at this daughter.
She was about to say something when Aurora suddenly exclaimed, “Mom, Maya is at the Vinci Rivera Group. She’s about tojump off the building!”
Aurora showed Dahlia the video that Sophia had sent her, and Dahlia’s face immediately turned pale upon watching it. Then,without saying a word, she stood up and rushed out of the room in a hurry.
The news of Maya threatening to jump off the building quickly reached Keegan’s ears.Keegan hated it when people used these tactics to threaten others, so he immediately had Aldor call the police.
Aldor said, “Jackson is downstairs, probably at your uncle’s behest. Maya has worked for the Kane family for over a decade. Itcould negatively impact us if we are too harsh to her.”
Chandler had been at the Vinci Rivera Group longer than Keegan. Although Keegan had gained some leverage in recent yearsthrough his strengths, Chandler had a deep-rooted foundation in the company and a way with people.
Although Maya’s situation might seem like a minor issue, she had been an employee of the Kane family for over a decade. If nothandled properly, the situation could disappoint some of the company’s veteran employees.
Keegan furrowed his brows and said, “Jackson doesn’t seem to handle what he should. He’s overly enthusiastic about things heshouldn't be involved in.” He then stood up and made his way outside.
Aldor followed him quietly without saying a word.
Previously, Jackson had been sent to the Southwest for a project. The fact was, everyone
within the company knew he was “exiled.”
Jackson was charming and often flirted with female colleagues. However, he never initiated anything himself. Instead, he wouldlet women approach him and dump them once he was done toying with them.novelbin
However, as the saying goes, “But if you play with fire, you will eventually get burned.” A few months ago, the company receivedan anonymous letter accusing Jackson of sexual misconduct with multiple female colleagues and manipulating personneltransfers.
In addition to the letter, there was ample evidence of sexually explicit attachments that Jackson could not deny, supporting theaccusations against him.
Cordelia was outraged and deeply concerned that the incident would cause a major scandal for the Kane family. As a result, shedecided to send Jackson to Hustuabourg, a harsh environment in the West, to reflect on his actions.
As a result of this incident, significant personnel changes were made to several important positions within the company, resultingin many employees affiliated with Chandler being replaced. This caused tensions to rise between Chandler and Keegan.
Now that Jackson had returned, he was likely not coming back with good intentions.
Maya’s situation could be a potential opportunity for Chandler’s party to take advantage of. So Aldor thought long and hard anddecided to call Stella secretly.
