NovelEnglishChapter 720
Dahlia was annoyed that Keegan did not care about the Crosby family affairs but was being so
generous toward his ex-wife. 'Thank god they got divorced. Otherwise, Keegan would be even more
obsessed with that little minx. There wouldn't be a place for me in this household.'
Dahlia went to Cordelia's house early in the morning. The old lady was already very dissatisfied with
her for the birthday banquet, so she had stayed low that month. Apart from giving her condolences to
the guests who were injured on the day of the birthday banquet, Dahlia went to Cordelia's place to
admit her mistakes and apologize.
However, the old lady did not want to see her. Every time Dahlia came over, Cordelia would turn her
away, or give her the silent treatment.
Dahlia was able to marry into the Kane family because of her pregnancy and also her perseverance.
When she was pregnant, Cordelia did not approve of her, but Dahlia was patient and persistent. She
went to her house every day and brought her tea. She would ask about the old lady's well-being, clear

Mr. Kane Sr. was swayed by her actions. After some time, he realize that it was not easy for a single
mother to raise a child. Moreover, it would bring damage to both Dahlia and the Kane family's
reputation. The old man tried to persuade the old lady, and she finally budged in the end.
Now, Dahlia was trying to do the same thing thirty years later. She volunteered to fertilize the plants
and pluck the weeds when she arrived at Cordelia's home. Dahlia was so eager to marry into the Kane
family in the past that she did not mind any dirty work. However, she had been pampered by the Kane
family for so many years that she now disliked getting dirty or doing energy-consuming work. She even
questioned why Cordelia fertilized and weeded the large plot of land every week rather than enjoying
her retirement.
Dahlia said that she wanted to help with fertilizing the place, but when she was in the garden, she
called for the workers to put on multiple layers of masks and gloves for her.
There were many mosquitoes in the summer. So, Dahlia frowned as she dodged left and right in the
garden, holding a bucket filled with fertilizer. It took her a long time to fertilize only a few plants. The old
lady saw this scene from a long distance, but she ignored Dahlia. She took a pair of scissors and went
to the other side to pluck some tomatoes.
When Dahlia saw Cordelia, she immediately went up to her and said, ’ Mom, just ask the servants to do
this kind of unskilled labor."
The old lady avoided her grip and calmly said, "This is my vegetable garden, and I have to be the one
who tends to it. That way, I can keep an eye on any plants that need to be dealt with."
Although Cordelia was talking about her plants, Dahlia felt that she was referring to something more
than that. Her expression showed that she felt awkward. Then, she said in a low voice, "Mom, I went to
give my condolences to the guests who were injured at the birthday banquet yesterday. They have
almost fully recovered."
The old lady did not speak. Dahlia continued, "Mom, my friends have introduced me to a lot of wealthy
young girls. Since Keegan has been divorced for quite some time now, I think it's time for him to find a
new girlfriend. Our family is small; maybe you can feel more at ease if Keegan can extend the family
tree."

Dahlia stayed quiet. Since she could not convince Keegan, she wanted Cordelia to put some pressure
on him. But, she did not expect the old lady to throw the ball back at her.
Dahlia hoped that Keegan would find a wealthy heiress who could help control Keegan in his career
and help her with the Crosby family's business. Since Stella managed to make an opening for her plan,
Dahlia wanted to fill the hole.
"You know how stubborn Keegan can be. But, he listens to you, mom. I'm sure he’d agree with the plan
if you're the one who mentions it."
"How long has Keegan been divorced?" Cordelia lowered her gaze and asked.
Dahlia was startled when she heard that. "Almost two months," she replied.
"Two months. That means it's been almost two months since Rainee passed away. It would be
inappropriate for Keegan to find a new wife."
Dahlia frowned and said in a low voice, "Keegan has already divorced Stella. He doesn't need to
consider that anymore."
Cordelia gave her a cold look and said, "It's his business whether or not he deems it appropriate. Do
you have no conscience?"
Dahlia's face changed slightly. "What are you trying to say, Mom?"
