NovelEnglishChapter 2174 "No way!" Dahlia exclaimed anxiously. "Two weeks is just too long! I'll give you a week at most!" Stella furrowed her brow. "Ten days. | really can't gather it in a week." Dahlia didn't buy it. "Do you think I'm clueless about how much money Keegan has?" Stella's expression turned icy. "You expectto ask Keegan for the money? Do you think he won't question such a large sum? Or do you wantto personally inform him that his own mother is pressuringfor money?" Dahlia didn't care about Keegan, let alone his feelings.
She knew Keegan well enough to understand that if he found out about this, he wouldn't give her a penny. He wouldn't be swayed by her threats in the least.
Initially, Dahlia had wanted to find Stella, but Keegan had shielded her too effectively, leaving Dahlia with no opportunity to get close. So, she shifted her focus to her deceased husband's inheritance. Little did she know she would run into Stella herself.
After Stella's words, Dahlia calmed down slightly. She pondered for a moment before relenting, "Fine, I'll give you ten days. If | don't receive enough by then, all bets are off!” After Dahlia left, Stella calmly instructed Samuel, "Make a copy of the footage from the car for me." Samuel snapped out of it and quickly began copying the video.
As he worked, Stella said, "Don't breathe a word of today to Keegan. If you can't handle it, you can leave now. I'll pay you two months’ salary extra, and you can find another job." Samuel hastily replied, "Stella, Mr. Kane made it clear when he hired me. I'm on your team. Unless it's about your safety, | don't need to report your personal matters to him." Stella stared at him for a moment before saying, "Head to the primary residence." Samuel nodded, returned the phone with the copied video, turned the car around, and headed for the Kane family's primary residence.

Stella gently touched the agreement in her bag, her eyelids drooping slightly as she lost herself in her thoughts.
After a moment, Samuel whispered, "Stella, | have something else to mention." Stella nodded, signaling for him to continue.
Clearing his throat, Samuel said, "Stella, Mr. Kane and Ms. Crosby's mother- son relationship is based on blood ties. Such natural bonds cannot be dissolved legally, so the agreement you have is invalid. Mr. Kane still has the obligation to support her." Stella didn't respond, merely offering a faint smile as she said, "I understand, just drive safely." Samuel was taken aback. Stella's reaction was unexpected, but he didn't press further.
Of course, Stella knew the legal invalidity of the agreement, but in terms of public perception, it could hold weight.
Dahlia was a thorn in Keegan's side.
Stella wanted to help Keegan remove this thorn herself ensuring Dahlia would no longer have any leverage over Keegan. If you want something to perish, let it go mad first.
Dahlia's urgency for money likely had to do with trouble Blake Crosby and the Crosby family were in.
