Chapter 183
Mr. Kane Got Blacklisted
Kisa was envious when she heard about their love story. âItâs so different for the rich. Finding a 30-year-
old partner at the age of 51.â
Initially, Stella thought that the jewelry exhibition would be private with a small venue. However, she was stunned when she arrived. The place was huge and magnificently decorated. There were nearly a hundred security personnel keeping guard, and more than half of the nobilities in Rivera were there.
The luxury cars outside the venue were enough for them to hold a car exhibition.
Baldwin stopped in front of the venue as Cordelia and the others got off and went into the exhibition center. Cordelia had an excellent reputation and rarely attended the various events. held each year after she retired. That was why she instantly became the center of attention for the audience when she stepped foot into the place.
Many of the noble women came over to say hello. Although Cordelia was old, her memory was strong.
She greeted most of the people by name, and for those whose names she did not know, she still greeted them politely.
It was undeniable that the old lady was famous in Rivera. Stella also gained some traction just by standing beside her.
âWhy is grandma here?â Aurora turned to look at the few people not far away and frowned. Didnât grandma tell you that she was coming, mom? She even brought that woman with her.â
Dahlia stared at them with a cold face and stayed quiet for a long time before she said, âCome on, letâs go say hello to your grandma.â
Auroraâs lips curled as she spoke, âGrandma favors Keegan and that woman anyway. Iâm not going over there just to please her.â
âYour grandma is partial to her because she is your brotherâs wife. Youâre her granddaughter. Iâm sure she loves you more. Now, go. Donât stand here and be a joke.â
Only then did Aurora go over reluctantly. âGrandma,â she called out to Cordelia.
The old lady turned around and saw that it was her eldest granddaughter. A loving look appeared in her eyes while she said, âWhen did you arrive, darling?â
âOh, just now. Iâm here with mom. We came to support Aunty Ireneâs exhibition.â
Dahlia then went over and said, âMom, I thought you said you didnât want to come. Why the change of heart?â She was concerned when she saw that her mother-in-law had decided to attend the event with her son and daughter-in-law instead of her and her daughter.
Dahliaâs high status in the circle of rich wives was primarily due to her outstanding son and Cordeliaâs prestige for years, while her birth familyâs status was just average. This was one thing she had in common with Stella-they both came from mediocre backgrounds and married into wealthy families.
Earlier, a group of ladies had asked her why Cordelia was not there. Dahlia told them she would not be able to stand for long, but now she was here in a blink of an eye with her grandson and granddaughter-
in-law. This was a massive blow to Dahliaâs face.
Cordelia was indeed Keeganâs grandma since she, too, dumped the blame on Stella. âStella could not stop begging to come, so I decided to come here to have a look-see.â
Stella was speechless when she heard that. âWhat a great grandmother-in-law!â she thought. Dahlia gave Stella a cold look and said in a heavy tone, âI thought Keegan was not feeling well, so I didnât ask them to come. Why didnât you tell me you wanted to come, Stella?â She was trying to imply that she was a bad wife for wanting her ill husband to attend an event with her. Unsurprisingly, Stella threw the blame onto Keegan. âKeegan said that he was bored and that he wanted to come. There was nothing I could do to stop him, mom.â
It was Keeganâs turn to be at a loss for words. Dahlia knew that she was lying, but Keegan did not expose her. So, she decided not to say anything further. âSince youâre here, remember to take good care of Keegan,â she reminded her.
âOf course, mom,â Stella replied.
Dahlia turned to look at the old lady, and with a respectful and polite attitude, she said, âMom, Irene is right in the front. Come, Iâll bring you over to her.â
Cordelia nodded in response. She then turned around and told her grandson, âBring her around this place and buy her anything she likes.â
Hearing that, Dahlia froze. She stared at Stella coldly and helped the old lady to the front.
