Chapter 519
Keegan sat in the living room. He looked at all the dollar bills scattered around his house and said to
Aldor, "Deposit everything into her account."
As a competent assistant, Aldor immediately understood who Keegan was referring to.
Keegan thought to himself for a while before he said again, "If she asked..."
"I'll just tell her that it's her allowance from you." Aldor quickly spoke.
Keegan suddenly looked a lot more relaxed.
Aldor had been working for Keegan for so many years, and his certification alone could allow him to
earn a million dollars a year. Not only was he exceptionally good at what he did, but he could also read
his boss's mind very well.
He knew that he could not tell Stella that the money was a part of the property settlement because it
would mean that Keegan acknowledged the divorce.
Even though they were legally divorced, his boss clearly did not accept it. So, he understood what he
had to do as an assistant.

Blake was Keegan's uncle and Dahlia's younger brother.
Dahlia's father used to be in the medical equipment manufacturing industry before they ventured into
property investment. They earned a lot of money in the beginning, but their business started to go
downhill after they entered the stock market. They lost a huge portion of their family wealth.
The Crosby family started venturing into electronics after Dahlia married Quentin. They did not have a
technical team, so they could only manufacture some loose spare parts. In other words, they were just
an original equipment manufacturer.
The quality of the product manufactured by them was nothing exceptional. Even though they did not
have a brand of their own, they could still receive huge orders and earn a lot of money because they
were related to Vinci Rivera.
However, Cordelia did not like the Crosbys very much, and Keegan was not close with them either.
It was not because Cordelia was a snobbish person who thought that the Kane family was too good for
the Crosby family. Despite how terrible the Jewell family was, she did not comment anything when
Keegan married Stella. She was not a person who would care about social status when selecting her
in-laws.
Even though Albert was not a very likable person, Stella was a very sensible person, and she could
handle a lot of things better than Dahlia.
Stella would never get herself involved in the two families' business affairs. She would only
occasionally try to persuade Keegan to give Albert some small projects to work on after Albert kept
pestering her. However, she only did that, so he would stop annoying her.
She would never get involved when it came to major projects that were directly associated with The
Vinci Rivera Group no matter how hard Albert tried.
However, it was not the same for Dahlia.
She would do everything she could to secure a project for her family even if it was not something that
her family specialized in.
She helped the Crosby family close plenty of deals with Vinci Rivera when Quentin was still alive.
There would not be a problem if the Crosbys would do their job well since it was better for their in-laws

But, the Crosbys were wheeler-dealers. Not only that there was nothing exceptional about the quality of
their products, but they would also always be late for deliveries. Things became even worse after Blake
took over, as he could not manage the business well. Yet, he was obsessed with gambling.
Otherwise, there was just no reason that the Crosby family would perform so much worse than other
companies despite the support of Vinci Rivera for so many years.
It was simply impossible for the Crosby to expand their business if Blake would not stop spending his
money in the casino.
However, Dahlia turned a blind eye to the fact that Blake was addicted to gambling.
Dahlia stopped doing that for a while after Quentin passed away. After all, Cordelia was in charge of
the Vinci Rivera Group, and she despised gamblers. Dahlia did not dare to ask her for anything.
Dahlia only started doing the same thing again when Keegan joined Vinci Rivera after a few years.
Aldor personally saw how Dahlia caused a scene in Keegan's office just to secure a project for her
brother. She guilt-tripped Keegan as his biological mother and cried about how hard it was for her to
raise him alone after Keegan turned her down.
Keegan spent most of his childhood with Cordelia, and Dahlia did not really raise him as a mother. She
would only talk to Keegan when she needed money or when she wanted to help the Crosby family.
To Dahlia, Keegan was nothing like a son. But rather, a tool in her privileged life.
