Chapter 1115
Mr. Kane Got Blacklisted
âHow much money are we talking about?â Stella pursed her lips and tentatively inquired.
âThat depends on how much the other party wants, I guess,â Olivia replied.
âIs Dahlia going to pay her whatever amount she asks?â
âWhat do you think? Dahlia was kicked out of the Kane residence and had her financials restricted.
How much money does she have left? Itâs barely enough for her to maintain a decent living.â
âBut you just said it depends on how much the other party wants.â
âYeah, but that doesnât mean Dahlia would give her what she asks. Do you really think sheâd be that kind and just give Marshallâs girlfriend money for free? She is definitely going to blackmail the girl and will probably get arrested for it.â
Stella went quiet after hearing that.
âSo, do you recognize the girl or not?â Olivia questioned.â Give me something to work with so that I can report back to Dahlia.â
âIâm the girl in the picture,â said Stella.
âWhat?â Olivia thought she had misheard her.
Stella then briefly talked about what had happened that night, and Olivia burst out laughing. âI think Dahlia mustâve wronged your ancestors in her past life. And now, youâre here to haunt her. Her son literally kicked her out of the house for you. Sheâs gonna flip if she knows youâre having an affair with her self-proclaimed son-in-law.â
Stellaâs eyelids twitched at the sound of that. âWe didnât have an affair. I was just doing Marshall a favor.â
âWell, it doesnât matter. Dahlia is already trying to track the girl down, so be careful. Donât let her find out that itâs you. Otherwise, with the grudge she has against you, sheâd probably skin you alive.â
âIâm not afraid of her,â Stella sneered.
âDo whatever you want if you donât intend to be with Keegan in the long run. But I suggest that you hold back a little if you ever decide to get back with him. We both know heâll choose to protect you, and people will label him as an unfilial son. It wonât affect him. But, in the long run, what if it goes on for ten or twenty years? Can you be sure that he wouldnât blame you for the downfall of his reputation? You have to take a step back with Dahlia, Stella. Itâll be Keeganâs only way out of her control.â
Stella was silent for a moment before she said, âItâs kind of surprising that a hopeless romantic like you would say such a thing.â
Upon hearing that, the corner of Oliviaâs lips twitched. âThe things she says are so annoying! No wonder Dahlia doesnât like her!â
âI heard that your husband was nominated for the election. From what I see on their official page, he got hundreds of thousands of votes and is the runner-up in the campaign. It seems like he is rather popular with the people.â
âThatâs bullshit. No one knows him other than the people in his office. At least 70% of those votes were my doing!â Olivia laughed coldly.
Erick did not have a great relationship with his colleagues. He often thought that he was better than others and complained about them behind their backs. He would also patronize those with a higher ranking than him and be cruel to his subordinates. Whenever he was assigned tasks, he would use his authority and have his juniors work overtime to finish them. No one would have voted for Erick if it were not for Olivia.
âHow in the world did you get so many people to vote for him?â Stella asked in surprise.
âAll my years and hard work of maintaining relationships in this circle werenât for nothing,â Olivia said proudly. She was not good with words in the past. However, she began to step up and develop connections with people for the sake of her husband and her family. Olivia met tons of people and suffered a lot of humiliation, which allowed her to gain more social skills. Although not many of the contacts she had accumulated over the years would help with major issues, they were still willing to lend a hand when it came to voting for her husband.
âLet me know when youâre going to take your revenge,â
Stella said solemnly. âI enjoy watching scumbags get what they deserve.â
âYou mean Dahlia?â
Stella bit her lips and said, âYes.â
âSince you have people to vote for your husband, Iâm assuming that they can help spread some news, right?â Stella suddenly asked when they were about to hang up.
âYes, but spreading too much fake news would result in a lawsuit.â
