Chapter 2177


    Dahlia quietly slipped money to ke to get him on her side.


    Quitting gambling was just like quitting drugs. You might manage to stay clean for a while, but one slip


    and it was tough to regain control.


    ke found himself drawn back to the casino, while Kanrara, juggling the care of two kids, had little


    energy left to oversee him or thepany. Just as things were looking up for thepany, it teetered


    on the edge of copse. Coincidentally, Keegan had already taken charge at the Vinci Rivera Group,


    and Dahlia began leveraging the Kane family''s name to coborate with ke.


    Kanrara shifted her focus to the kids'' education, neglectingpany matters. ke gambled


    recklessly. Even though Kanrara held the purse strings, the money he squandered was all supplied by


    Dahlia.


    Recently, Marshall mentioned their impending divorce, apparently triggered by ke''s affair and asset


    transfers.


    Later, Ste discussed this with Keegan. He opined that since Kanrara managed the finances, ke


    wouldn''t dare to keep a mistress. Any cash he had would go straight to the casino. Why would any


    woman be foolish enough to be his mistress? Was she after his wealth or his gambling habit?


    The more Ste thought about it, the odder it seemed. So she told Trevor," Trevor, let''s track Kanrara''s


    movements and look into her financial dealings."


    The next day, Trevor brought news again: Kanrara had taken the kids to Bostown, with eight million


    deposited into her ount from ke.


    Meanwhile, ke received ten million from Dahlia, money she had gotten from Ste.


    After a spat between Dahlia and Kanrara months ago, Dahlia became thepany''s legal


    representative. While thepany was indeed in dire straits financially, ke''s supposed efforts to


    raise funds were a sham.


    The couple plotted to swindle Dahlia''s money. With Dahlia now thepany’s legal rep, she couldn''t


    shirk responsibility. If thepany went under, she''d be left holding the bag.

    No wonder she demanded a billion from Ste.


    Ste curled her lips coldly. Dahlia too deserved to experience betrayal from her loved ones.


    During afternoon tea, when Dahlia called to pester her, Ste transferred another ten million.


    Then, she made a call to Vermont Snyder, saying with a smile, "Vermont, let''s hit up an underground


    casino."


    Frowning, he replied, "What underground casino? I have no idea what you''re talking about."


    Ste exined, "Keegan said part of your startup capital came from the casino. He ims you''ve


    never lost a roll of the dice."


    He scoffed, "Only a fool like Keegan would buy that."


    Raising an eyebrow, Ste said, "Mom was once cheated by her partner, who gambled away workers''


    wages. It led to Aunt Florence being injured by workers demanding their pay. Mom despises gamblers


    the most."


    He fell silent for a moment before gritting his teeth, "You''re conniving.


    Aren''t you afraid of reaping what you sow?"


    She retorted, "Thanks for the concern. Having a n is better than being naive."


    After they hung up, Felicity Thompson gave her a thumbs up. "You sure know how to spin a tale. You''re


    such a smooth talker. I can just imagine how badly Keegan has fallen for your deceptions."
