Chapter 1458
Steven said, “That woman and her kid ain’t in this country.”
Jacqueline raised an eyebrow, her gaze growing colder. “Kenneth sure is careful, ain’t he? Scared I’d hunt down
that woman and her kid if I found out, so he shipped them off already.”
Steven replied, “Mom, it wasn’t Kenneth who sent them away. It was me.”
Jacqueline asked, “You sent them off? Were you trying to solve my problem, or were you planning to use that
woman and her kid to pull one over on Kenneth?”
Steven answered, “Neither.”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtJacqueline asked, “Then why?”
Steven explained, “I sent them away to get them to stop dreaming. Just because they think Kenneth is an easy
mark, doesn’t mean they can get anything out of him.”
Jacqueline, “What are you saying?”
Steven continued, “Kenneth got conned.”
Jacqueline, “He got conned? Do you mean someone put him in bed with that woman? I thought you were different
from other men, but it turns out you’re all the same.”
Steven, “Mom, I’m telling the truth. Kenneth really was set up.”
Jacqueline, “Spill the beans.”
Steven said, “You remember why Kenneth handed over the Dixon Group to me, right? He was still in his prime, but
he chose to retire.”
The impact on both the Dixon Group and the Dixon family was huge. No one in the Dixon family would forget,
including Jacqueline. Mentioning it still sent chills down her spine. “Your father and Daniela’s father invested in a big
project together back then. They trusted the wrong contractor, and the Dixon Group suffered a huge loss.
Shareholders and board members were all pissed at your father. They wanted him out, and you were his only
chance. I’m so grateful you took on that pressure at such a young age. Not only did you save the Dixon Group from
ruin, but you also took it to new heights.”
She paused. She was quick on the uptake and quickly understood why Steven brought up this topic. “Does this have
something to do with that woman?”
Steven said, “Yes, but that woman was just a pawn used by others to mess with Kenneth. The real puppet master
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmwas Daniela’s father.” The mention of the Salazar family made Jacqueline angry too. “Again?!”
Steven continued, “Actually, Kenneth never had a thing with that woman.”
At this, Jacqueline’s eyes lit up. “Really? Then why didn’t Kenneth tell me?”
Steven, “Because Kenneth himself isn’t sure if he ever had anything with that woman. He has been raising
someone else’s kid for years like a fool; that’s why he didn’t dare to tell you.”
Jacqueline was skeptical. “Would Kenneth make such a rookie mistake?”
Steven, “It was a trap set by the Salazar family. At the party that night, Kenneth, who’s always careful, was fed a lot
of alcohol by the Salazars. With people plotting against him, there was no way he could dodge the bullet.”
