Chapter 1113


    Chapter 1113


    Aurora was so choked up that she could not speak. Cordelia then took a deep breath and said in a


    deep voice, “Your mother’s actions after Ste married your brother had shown that she was not worthy


    of respect. But, what about before that?


    “Not only did she not help your brother out when he first joined thepany, she even transferred his


    ie to her ount, causing him to almost lose himself. After your brother found his footing in the


    industry, your mom secretly used his name to promote the Crosby family’s business.


    They didn’t even know how to run a business. Every now and then, they would encounter problems


    and have your brother clean up their mess.


    “You said raising you alone wasn’t easy for a widow like her, but did we ever treat her poorly in the 20


    years she lived in our house? It’s true that she raised you, but did she use the Crosby family’s money


    to do that? Do you really think she didn’t remarry after your dad passed away because she wanted to


    take care of you? No. She just couldn’t let go of the opportunities and benefits she reaped from our


    family.”


    From the look on Aurora’s face, Cordelia knew that she could not ept herments about Dahlia.


    Aurora’s feelings for her mother were deeply rooted in her after more than 20 years of upbringing.


    Although she did not believe a word that came out of Cordelia’s mouth, she did not dare to refute them.


    Cordelia took another deep breath and continued, “You were sheltered by your mother since you were


    a child. Even if she did not raise you well, she did put in the work like you said. I know you want to fulfill


    your filial duty to her, but it’s different for your brother. Your mom did not treat him well. Over the years,


    Keegan had repaid her for giving birth to him. So, what he does next is up to him. Neither you nor your


    mother has the right to say anything.


    “You can visit her if you’re worried about her, and you can move back to your house. But, unless your


    brother agrees to let you bring her into our home, you’re on your own. You can always find a new ce


    to live with your mother.”


    Cordelia’s tone was neutral, but her message was loud and clear. At that time, Aurora knew that it was


    impossible for her to bring Dahlia back into the house. Before Aurora could say anything, Cordelia


    waved her hand and said, “I’m tired. I’m going to take a rest. You may pack your bags if you’ve decided


    to move out.”


    Aurora stayed silent.


    When Dahlia heard Cordelia’s remarks from her daughter, she was so angry that she pushed


    everything off the table. Aurora pursed her lips and said in a low voice, “Mom, why don’t you ask


    Keegan to take you back? He’s the only one with the power to do that right now.”


    “Your brother has long lost his mind to that whore, Ste. He’s not going to listen to me,” Dahlia bitterly


    said.

    Aurora did not respond. She did not want to talk about


    Ste since it reminded her of when she was locked up.


    “How are things going between you and Marshall?”


    “He has a girlfriend now,” Aurora whispered.


    “What?” Dahlia furrowed her brows. “Who’s the girl?”


    “I’m not sure. He took her to a wedding; I saw the post on Facebook.”


    “Why didn’t you do anything? How could you let someone else take him?” Dahlia said with hatred.


    “They’ve already made their rtionship public, Mom. I don’t want to be known as the other woman.”


    “It’s not like they’re married. Nothing is set in stone yet. You have to actively fight for Marshall, Aurora.


    You and your brother wouldn’t exist if I didn’t fight for your dad back then. You have to be more


    proactive. Ask Marshall out more often and find opportunities for yourself, you know? Meet up with that


    woman and offer her money. If she doesn’t want to take it, then let me know. I’ll help you solve the


    problem.”
