Chapter 232
“I went to an art exhibition with Ariel. She liked a painting, so I bought it. Unfortunately, it cost a few
million. So I had to borrow money from friends.”
Dahlia frowned, “Did Ariel accept it?”
“No, Ariel said it was too valuable. And I couldn’t return it, so I stored it.”
Dahlia’s mouth twitched. “Stay away from Marshall from now on.”
“Why?” Aurora protested. “Didn’t you support me dating Marshall?”
“That was based on the condition that Marshall was interested in you too. Didn’t you see how he avoided
you at the jewelry exhibition? Now you’re chasing after him. Don’t you understand that?”
“I’ll go
after him no matter what it takes. There’s no other woman in his life, and I’m not bad- looking. Plus,
we’ve been friends since childhood, and Ariel likes me. So it’s just a matter of time before we start
dating.”

“If Marshall isn’t interested in you, marrying him would make you miserable.”
“Well, dad didn’t seem to like you very much at first. But you’re doing fine now, aren’t you?” Dahlia was
speechless and almost died of anger at this daughter.
She was about to say something when Aurora suddenly exclaimed, “Mom, Maya is at the Vinci Rivera
Group. She’s about to jump off the building!”
Aurora showed Dahlia the video that Sophia had sent her, and Dahlia’s face immediately turned pale
upon watching it. Then, without saying a word, she stood up and rushed out of the room in a hurry.
The news of Maya threatening to jump off the building quickly reached Keegan’s ears.
Keegan hated it when people used these tactics to threaten others, so he immediately had Aldor call the
police.
Aldor said, “Jackson is downstairs, probably at your uncle’s behest. Maya has worked for the Kane family
for over a decade. It could negatively impact us if we are too harsh to her.”
Chandler had been at the Vinci Rivera Group longer than Keegan. Although Keegan had gained some
leverage in recent years through his strengths, Chandler had a deep-rooted foundation in the company
and a way with people.
Although Maya’s situation might seem like a minor issue, she had been an employee of the Kane family
for over a decade. If not handled properly, the situation could disappoint some of the company’s veteran
employees.
Keegan furrowed his brows and said, “Jackson doesn’t seem to handle what he should. He’s overly
enthusiastic about things he shouldn’t be involved in.” He then stood up and made his way outside.
Aldor followed him quietly without saying a word.
Previously, Jackson had been sent to the Southwest for a project. The fact was, everyone
within the company knew he was “exiled.”
Jackson was charming and often flirted with female colleagues. However, he never initiated anything
himself. Instead, he would let women approach him and dump them once he was done toying with them.
However, as the saying goes, “But if you play with fire, you will eventually get burned.” A few months
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmago, the company received an anonymous letter accusing Jackson of sexual misconduct with multiple
female colleagues and manipulating personnel transfers.
In addition to the letter, there was ample evidence of sexually explicit attachments that Jackson could not
deny, supporting the accusations against him.
Cordelia was outraged and deeply concerned that the incident would cause a major scandal for the Kane
family. As a result, she decided to send Jackson to Hustuabourg, a harsh environment in the West, to
reflect on his actions.
As a result of this incident, significant personnel changes were made to several important positions
within the company, resulting in many employees affiliated with Chandler being replaced. This caused
tensions to rise between Chandler and Keegan.
Now that Jackson had returned, he was likely not coming back with good intentions.
Maya’s situation could be a potential opportunity for Chandler’s party to take advantage of. So Aldor
thought long and hard and decided to call Stella secretly.
