Chapter 2172
Ste averted her gaze and addressed Baldwin, "Baldwin, I''m hereto pick up Coco."
Baldwin replied, "Coco is practicing the piano. I''ll take you to her."
Ste nodded and was about to follow him when Dahlia stopped her, resentfully saying, "Ste, you
must be feeling so proud, kicking me out of the Kane family and separating me from my son."
Ste paused, calmly looking at her. "I guess. Give it a little more time, and I might even be prouder."
A hint of hatred flickered in Dahlia''s eyes, but she quickly suppressed it.
She clenched her fists and whispered, "I want to talk to you."
Ste smiled coldly, "Is there anything left to discuss between US?"
She hadn''t forgotten why Dahlia ended up there. A woman who had tried to harm her baby wouldn''t get
a second chance from her.
She was puzzled, though. Why would Dahlia suddenly demand a share of herte father-inw’s
inheritance?
Even though Dahlia had been kicked out of the Kane family and Keegan had cut her off, providing only
a small amount of living expenses, barely enough to get by, Aurora Kane hadn''tpletely abandoned
her.
She still had feelings for Dahlia. Even though she had been so wronged by Dahlia, Dahlia had raised
and loved her since she was a child. She couldn''t just turn a blind eye to her. On the day Dahlia was
released, Aurora went to see her and gave her some money.
When Keegan mentioned this to her, trying to gauge whether she would interfere with Aurora’s
decision, Ste nced at the cunning man.
Did he really think he could hide his ulterior motives from her?
Keegan wasn''t allowing Aurora to help Dahlia out of kindness; he was afraid that if he stopped her, and
something happened to Dahlia in the future because of money, Aurora would me him and their
sibling rtionship would be strained.
But if he didn''t stop her, he feared she might misunderstand and think he was showing mercy to Dahlia.
So he threw the problem to Ste, letting her decide.
Initially, Ste hadn''t nned to stop Aurora. Aurora had a rebellious streak, and sometimes, it was
better to let things flow rather than stop them from happening. Besides, Aurora had cut herself off from
the family''s finances when she tried to get into thepany. She only had a meager sry every
month, barely enough to support herself, let alone Dahlia.
But, even though Ste understood, the man''s schemes still annoyed her a bit. He really thought she
was that petty! So she sent him to the study for two nights in a row, until finally, he came crawling back
in the middle of the night, massaging her legs, apologizing pitifully.
It had been over a week since Dahlia was released. Aurora should have given her the majority of her
savings by now. And with all the years Dahlia had spent using Keegan''s money to buy luxury bags and
jewelry, she should still have some left. If she were to sell those things, she wouldn''t be broke. So why
was she suddenly asking Cordelia to divide herte husband''s inheritance, asking for so much money?
Dahlia lowered her voice, full of resentment, "Ste, you don''t want your pregnancy to go public, do
you? Don''t think I don''t know that you''re keeping it a secret to scheme against Jaylene!"Belongs ? to N?velDrama.Org.
Ste remained silent, which, to Dahlia, meant she was scared.
Baldwin didn''t hear Dahlia’s words. He whispered, "Madam Ste."
Ste pursed her lips, "Baldwin, wait for me for a moment."
Then, she nced at Dahlia and said coolly, "Get in the car."
Dahlia got in, nced at the driver in the front seat, and said coldly, "Tell him to leave, I want to talk to
you alone."
Ste smiled. "You’re a woman with a criminal record. Why would you think I''d talk to you alone? Are
you trying to scheme against your own grandson again? If you have something to say, say it. If not, get
out of the car."
Dahlia''s body stiffened for a moment. She gritted her teeth and finally said after a long pause, "Give me
a billion, or I''ll sue Keegan for not supporting me."
