    Ste nced at her. "Keegan deposits your living expenses into your ount every month. He also


    has evidence of the money you''ve been withdrawing from thepany''s ount over the years. Do


    you think you can win this case?"


    Dahlia sneered, "Even if I can''t win, do you think such a scandal wont affect The Vinci Rivera Group''s


    stocks or his election votes?"


    Ste''s smile faded gradually. She couldn''t fathom how there could be such a shameless and


    despicable mother, selfish enough to ruin her own son''s life.


    Darcie Arnold and Hylda White were so malicious, yet they stood by their children. What was Dahlia?


    Ste looked at her in silence for a moment, then spoke, "What do you need so much money for?"


    Dahlia impatiently replied, "That''s none of your business. Just transfer the money to me. I''ll give you


    three days. If you don''t, I''ll sue Keegan immediately!"


    Ste''s expression turned serious. "If it weren''t for a paternity test, I would seriously doubt if Keegan is


    your biological son! If you don''t love him, why did you have him? And since you had him, why neglect


    him? He has finally achieved everything today, and you still want to ruin him. Are you even worthy of


    being called a mother?"


    Gritting her teeth, Dahlia retorted, "The rtionship between my son and me was fine until you, the


    troublemaker, came along. How could Keegan treat me like this if it weren''t for you? He showed me no


    kindness first, so don''t me me for being heartless!" "Watching your own son drown for the sake of


    vanity andparison, is that what you call a fine rtionship?"


    Somehow, this struck a chord with Dahlia. She became agitated. "You know nothing! If it weren''t for my


    strictness, could he have achieved what he has today?"


    Ste chuckled at this twisted logic.


    Dahlia, tired of the talk, hardened her expression again. "Enough chatter.


    Are you giving me the one billion or not?"


    Ste stared at the face somewhat resembling Keegan''s for a while before saying, "I can give it to you,


    but I need you to sign an agreement."


    Frowning, Dahlia asked, "What agreement?"


    Ste looked up. "An agreement to sever the mother-son rtionship with Keegan."


    Samuel Herston felt a jolt in his heart.


    Dahlia was taken aback but remained silent for a few seconds, then pursed her lips. "If I sign, will you


    transfer the money immediately?"


    Ste''s heart sank. She thought that Dahlia was hesitating because she couldn''t bear to let go of


    Keegan, but it turned out she was worried about whether the money woulde through. She smirked


    coldly. "Of course."


    Dahlia immediately agreed. Tine."


    She and Keegan were mother and son by blood; such an agreement would be meaningless. What a


    fool!


    Ste quickly drafted the agreement, printed it out, and handed it to Dahlia. After Dahlia signed and


    stamped it, she couldn''t wait any longer. "Transfer the money."


    Ste double-checked the signature, carefully put the document away in her bag, then took her phone


    and transferred the money to Dahlia.


    Soon the money was transferred, and Dahlia''s face turned red. "I asked for one billion, but why is there


    only ten million? Ste, are you kidding me?"


    Ste replied nonchntly, "Ms. Dahlia, surely you''re aware of the limits on bank transfers? Also, you


    suddenly demanded one billion. I don''t have that much at the moment. You''ll have to give me some


    time to get the money from my family. Can I transfer the funds to you in installments within two weeks?"
