Mr. Kane Got Blacklisted (Stella and Keegan) novel Chapter 1976

Chapter 1976

Aurora was dumbfounded. "Did you also hurt your head? Are you saying that you'd take another punch for just three hundred thousand?”

"Tsk," Aldor clicked his tongue. "Ms. Kane, you don't know how hard it is to survive these days. I would even do it for thirty thousand. This has got to be the easiest money I've ever earned in my life. Now I know why so many people love to stage accidents. To reap without sowing is such a wonderful feeling.”

Aurora was left speechless by his response. "I can't believe how money-minded you are! You'd let somebody hit you just because of money? Do you not have dignity?"

“Dignity won't put food on the table.” Aldor chuckled and added, "If I were to punch him back, I'll get myself arrested when the police arrive.

“I might even end up offending his boss, which would make my life harder in the company.

"I'm just a mere employee here. How can I afford to do that?

Three hundred thousand is worth a few months of my salary. So, what's more important? Dignity or money?”

Aldor was merely telling Aurora about the reality faced by working-class people like him. Aurora used to think that just because her family paid their employees to get things done, they could treat them however they wanted.

She was too used to being demanding and never thought much about her behavior back then. However, after being lectured by Cordelia, she finally realized how inappropriate she was acting.

Now that she had witnessed Aldor being bullied by her family and there was nothing he could do to retaliate, she felt disgusted by her past actions.

On one hand, she was ashamed of doing things that were similar to what Chandler just did. And, on the other hand, she felt that Aldor was too timid.

"Next time, if you find yourself in a situation like this, just fight back. Keegan will back you up, so there's nothing to be afraid of. Right now, you're embarrassing me—my brother!”

Aldor said in a gentle tone, "Throwing punches won't solve everything in the business world.”

"Why not?" Aurora glowered at him and said, "Everyone's going to take advantage of you with how soft you are. People will laugh at me if this gets out!”

Aldor paused before he asked, "Why would they?”

Aurora was taken aback. Then, she angrily threw the cotton swab at him and said through gritted teeth, “Do it yourself!"

After that, she stormed off with a stern face.

Aldor was puzzled.
