    Chapter 776


    Dahlia''s expression changed minutely.


    "Ste, don''t be ungrateful.” Ste chuckled.


    "First of all, Aurora has nothing to do with me.Don''t pretend you know what happened between the two


    of us when we were sisters-inw.Secondly, she failed to hit me, her real target, and hurt someone


    else.Do you think I''m dumb? Why should! plead for her? Thirdly, this is my boss''s house, it has nothing


    to do with your son.You don''t have the right to argue about the house.Fourth-"


    Ste paused, and her eyes turned cold.


    "I''m unable to have children because of you.Did you really think I''m magnanimous enough to overlook


    our past grievances?"


    With every point Ste made, Dahlia''s expression became more disapproving.


    Dahlia had underestimated Ste.


    ‘After she divorced and cut ties with the Jewell family, she was supposed to fal] to the ground with no


    hopes of getting up.However, not only is she not in a mess, her life is getting better.So much better


    than the past that the once submissive and timid person now dares speak to me like this!"


    Dahlia clutched her hand, took a deep breath, and suppressed her frustration.


    "What do you want in exchange for your help?" Ste paused.


    After they became mother and daughter -inw for so many years, she could not say she knew Dahlia


    completely, but at least fifty percent.


    Dahlia was an extremely egoistic, selfish, and snobbish person.


    She would try every trick in the book to get close to people who had a better family background and


    were beneficial to her.


    However, she would not bother to be polite to those who were not advantageous to her, like Ste and


    the Jewell family, let alone beg.


    Dahlia''s abnormal behavior clearly showed how much she spoiled and indulged Aurora.


    Ste had never seen Dahlia''s protective behavior toward Keegan.


    Two years ago, Keegan was on a business trip to Sresport and was detained by the local police after


    getting into a conflict with a group of local gangsters.


    The police called Ste to get Keegan bailed out of jail.


    Ste went to Dahlia''s to get his household registration permit, took the necessary documents, and


    rushed to Sresport.


    After she got Keegan out, he asked, "Why were you the one who came here?"


    Only then did Ste find out from Aldor that they had given Dahlia''s contact to the police.


    It was more convenient for Dahlia toe since she already had Keegan''s household registration


    permit.


    Ste was confused since the police had called her as well.


    After some investigation, they found out that the police had indeed contacted Dahlia.


    However, Dahlia replied that she was out of town and gave Ste''s number to the police.


    That was why the police called Ste.


    Ste kept quiet after hearing this.


    Dahlia was at home ying Mah -Jongg with somedies when Ste went to get the permit.


    Dahlia told the maid to give Ste the permit without asking much when she wanted to do so.


    Ste thought Dahlia had no idea that Keegan had been detained.


    However, many outsiders were present at the time, so she did not mention Keegan''s situation to


    Dahlia.


    She did not expect that Dahlia was aware of Keegan''s situation but lied that she was on a trip to y


    Mah-Jongg.


    After they figured everything out, Ste found it unbelievable.


    Then she thought that maybe it was Dahlia''s way of parenting, a hands-off method.


    But this waspletely different from how she treated Aurora.


    When Ste kidnapped Aurora and injured her, Dahlia foamed at the mouth in anger and hit Ste right


    after she got to the hospital room.


    This time, Dahlia begged her after knowing Aurora could not be bailed.


    ''How could she treat her own flesh and blood so differently?"


    Seeing that Ste did not reply, Dahlia thought there was still room for her to negotiate.


    "Or you could name a price."


    Ste came back to her senses.She looked at Dahlia and said, "You don''t even have a million to buy a


    thumb ring.I don''t think you could afford the price I''d name."


    Dahlia''s expression distorted with fury as she struggled to control her rage.


    "Aurora''s still a kid.She''ll be ruined if she stays in that ce.If you still want to get back with Keegan,


    then you shouldn''t make things difficult.I don''t have to remind you how much Keegan spoils Aurora,


    right?"
