Mr. Kane Got Blacklisted (Stella and Keegan) novel Chapter 2182

The voice on the other end of the line wasn't Blake's; it belonged to a stranger.

Dahlia furrowed her brow.

"Who are you? Why do you have my brother's phone? Where is he?" "Him?" the stranger chuckled.

"He's currently here learning how to swim." With that, the phone was passed to someone nearby, who called out, 'Hey Crosby! Your sister wants to talk to you!" Sounds of splashing water filled the receiver, followed by Blake's panicked voice, Dahlia! Please, you have to save me, they're going to kill me, Dahlia—uh—" Before he could finish his sentence, there was a sound of something being pushed into the water, accompanied by gurgling noises.

Dahlia's face turned pale.

"Didn't you say everything has been settled? How is there still an outstanding debt of over ten million? In the past few days alone, I’ve wired you nearly thirty million.

Dahlia's heart sank further.

After a few seconds, she gritted her teeth.

"You damn fool! Did you go gambling again?" Blake sobbed, "I thought I could double it at the casino.

I had such good luck those few days.

I made almost ten million in three days, but then I don't know what happened, I just kept losing..." His voice trailed off as he continued, "Dahlia, I really didn't mean it.
