Chapter 519
Keegan sat in the living room. He looked at all the dollar bills scattered around his house and said to Aldor, "Deposit everythinginto her account."
As acompetent assistant, Aldor immediately understood who Keegan was referring to.Keegan thought to himself for a while before he said again, "If she asked..."
"I'll just tell her that it's her allowance from you." Aldor quickly spoke.
Keegan suddenly looked a lot more relaxed.
Aldor had been working for Keegan for so many years, and his certification alone could allow him to earn a million dollars a year.Not only was he exceptionally good at what he did, but he could also read his boss's mind very well.
He knew that he could not tell Stella that the money was a part of the property settlement because it would mean that Keeganacknowledged the divorce.
Even though they were legally divorced, his boss clearly did not accept it. So, he understood what he had to do as an assistant.“How long did Blake Crosby stay after | left last night?"Blake was Keegan's uncle and Dahlia's younger brother.
Dahlia's father used to be in the medical equipment manufacturing industry before they ventured into property investment. Theyearned a lot of money in the beginning, but their business started to go downhill after they entered the stock market. They lost ahuge portion of their family wealth.novelbin
The Crosby family started venturing into electronics after Dahlia married Quentin. They did not have a technical team, so theycould only manufacture some loose spare parts. In other words, they were just an original equipment manufacturer.
The quality of the product manufactured by them was nothing exceptional. Even though they did not have a brand of their own,they could still receive huge orders and earn a lot of money because they were related to Vinci Rivera.
However, Cordelia did not like the Crosbys very much, and Keegan was not close with them either.
It was not because Cordelia was a snobbish person who thought that the Kane family was too good for the Crosby family.Despite how terrible the Jewell family was, she did not comment anything when Keegan married Stella. She was not a personwho would care about social status when selecting her in-laws.
Even though Albert was not a very likable person, Stella was a very sensible person, and she could handle a lot of things betterthan Dahlia.
Stella would never get herself involved in the two families’ business affairs. She would only occasionally try to persuade Keeganto give Albert some small projects to work on after Albert kept pestering her. However, she only did that, so he would stopannoying her.
She would never get involved when it came to major projects that were directly associated with The Vinci Rivera Group no matterhow hard Albert tried.
However, it was not the same for Dahlia.
She would do everything she could to secure a project for her family even if it was not something that her family specialized in.She helped the Crosby family close plenty of deals with Vinci Rivera when Quentin was still alive.
There would not be a problem if the Crosbys would do their job well since it was better for their in-laws to make a profit than
somebody else, and the Kane family did not care about tiny margins either.
But, the Crosbys were wheeler-dealers. Not only that there was nothing exceptional about the quality of their products, but theywould also always be late for deliveries. Things became even worse after Blake took over, as he could not manage the businesswell. Yet, he was obsessed with gambling.
Otherwise, there was just no reason that the Crosby family would perform so much worse than other companies despite thesupport of Vinci Rivera for so many years.
It was simply impossible for the Crosby to expand their business if Blake would not stop spending his money in the casino.However, Dahlia turned a blind eye to the fact that Blake was addicted to gambling.
Dahlia stopped doing that for a while after Quentin passed away. After all, Cordelia was in charge of the Vinci Rivera Group, andshe despised gamblers. Dahlia did not dare to ask her for anything.
Dahlia only started doing the same thing again when Keegan joined Vinci Rivera after a few years.
Aldor personally saw how Dahlia caused a scene in Keegan's office just to secure a project for her brother. She guilt-trippedKeegan as his biological mother and cried about how hard it was for her to raise him alone after Keegan turned her down.
Keegan spent most of his childhood with Cordelia, and Dahlia did not really raise him as a mother. She would only talk toKeegan when she needed money or when she wanted to help the Crosby family.
To Dahlia, Keegan was nothing like a son. But rather, a tool in her privileged life.
