Cyrene had firmly decided that under no circumstances would she allow Chandler to bail Dahlia out tonight. With that determination, she sent a message to her two brothers at home.
Turning to Keegan, she remarked, “I didn’t know you were cold-blooded toward your mom.”
Keegan responded with calm indifference, “She’s not exactly a loving mother to me either, Cyrene. Have you ever seen a mother so eager to divide the family property when her son was missing?”
Cyrene remained silent.
To be honest, she didn’t dislike Keegan. If it weren’t for Dahlia flaunting Keegan’s achievements in front of Cordelia and belittling her son every time, she wouldn’t mind if Jackson spent more time learning from Keegan.
Unfortunately, Dahlia didn’t know when to shut up.
Jackson’s grades weren’t good, and every time they met, she would deliberately bring it up in front of many people.
After asking about Jackson, she would immediately mention that Keegan scored several perfect grades again and that she was not worried about his studies.
According to Dahlia, Keegan’s success was all thanks to her.
A mother’s love for her child knows no boundaries. Cyrene did not enjoy listening to Dahlia compare their sons like that. So, the conflict was deeply rooted.
When Keegan went missing, Cyrene genuinely felt sad. She hadn’t expected Dahlia to be so eager to divide Keegan’s inheritance.
Cyrene did not care about their family dispute, but Chandler getting involved left a sour taste in her mouth. She always thought Chandler was smart, but in this matter, he acted foolishly.
Regardless of whether Keegan came back or not, having his uncle and mother team up to split his inheritance was embarrassing.
Dahlia could be shameless, but dragging Chandler into the equation made Cyrene feel disgusted.
‘Now, Dahlia expects my family to clean up the mess she made? No way!’thought Cyrene.
Keegan took a shortcut, so they arrived earlier despite leaving later than Chandler.
When the car stopped at the police station entrance, Keegan handed a bottle of water to Cyrene. “Don’t get thirsty,” he said.
