Chapter 2184


    Dahlia didn''t bring up ke''s gambling issues at all. She simply mentioned problems with the


    company''s production line, orders on hold, and a cash flow problem.


    Keegan was swayed by Ste and wasn''t willing to lend a hand. With no other options left, she had to


    turn to Ste for help.


    Dahlia understood Jaylene''s deep affection for Keegan. Unable to reach Ste, Jaylene was herst


    hope. That was why she was adamant about not telling Jaylene about Ste''s pregnancy. If Jaylene


    found out, she''d likely lose hope in her rtionship with Keegan, so why would she want to offer


    assistance?


    She grabbed Jaylene, tears brimming in her eyes. "You''ve always been the daughter-inw I favored.


    You and Keegan grew up together. If it weren''t for you going abroad for treatment, Ste wouldn''t even


    be in the picture. I strongly opposed Keegan marrying her. She''s held a grudge against me for years,


    and now that she''s be the golden child, she''s constantly at odds with me. At my age, I couldn''t


    care less. All I want is for my children to be happy and stable." "But ke is Keegan''s uncle, his only


    one. If something really happens to him in the future, fingers will be pointed at Keegan; how could she


    be so heartless as to discourage him from helping? Isn''t she putting Keegan in an unfair position?"


    As she spoke, she choked up once more.


    Jaylene handed her a tissue. "Ste is too much! Aunt Dahlia, please don''t cry. I''ll call Keegan and help


    you exin the situation. Keegan values rtionships the most; he''ll definitely help his uncle."


    Dahlia''s eyes widened, looking at Jaylene strangely, momentarily forgetting to cry.


    Where did she get the confidence that Keegan would listen to her?


    Jaylene held her phone, about to dial Keegan''s number, when Dahlia suddenly stood up. "Jaylene,


    don’t call. Just forget I came. I''ll think of another way."


    With that, she grabbed her bag and made to leave. Jaylene was taken aback, quickly catching up.


    "Aunt Dahlia, what''s wrong? Why are you suddenly leaving?" "Jaylene, you don''t understand Keegan''s


    temper. If he finds out I''ve brought this family disgrace to you over this little money, he''ll hate me."


    "What will you do then? If there''s any other way, why would youe to ask Ste for help?"

    Dahlia clenched her fists, unable to speak.


    Jaylene remained silent for a moment before speaking again. "Aunt Dahlia, how much of a shortfall are


    you facing?"


    Dahlia, with red eyes, said, "Not much, just twenty million."


    Jaylene''s forehead twitched. Twenty million was still considered not much?


    Dahlia wiped her tears and continued, "In the past, this amount of money really wasn''t a big deal. But


    now, Keegan has amnesia, and he''s been enchanted by that wretched woman Ste, so he''s distant


    from me..."


    Jaylene wasn''t exactly a selfless Samaritan; her warmth toward Dahlia ultimately stemmed from being


    Keegan''s birth mother.


    Even if there were temporary conflicts due to certain reasons, they would eventually reconcile. She


    didn''t agree with Darcie''s words. In her view, the debt of raising a child was something that couldn''t be


    discarded, no matter what.


    After all, Keegan always sided with his mother; otherwise, he wouldn''t have divorced Ste because of


    Dahlia. After thinking for a moment, Jaylene spoke again. "Aunt Dahlia, let me lend you the twenty


    million first. You can use it to save Uncle. Saving a life is paramount; money is trivial."
