Dahlia didn't bring up Blake's gambling issues at all.
She simply mentioned problems with the company's production line, orders on hold, and a cash flow problem.
Keegan was swayed by Stella and wasn't willing to lend a hand.
With no other options left, she had to turn to Stella for help.
Dahlia understood Jaylene's deep affection for Keegan.
Unable to reach Stella, Jaylene was her last hope.
That was why she was adamant about not telling Jaylene about Stella's pregnancy.
If Jaylene found out, she'd likely lose hope in her relationship with Keegan, so why would she want to offer assistance? She grabbed Jaylene, tears brimming in her eyes.
"You've always been the daughter-in-law I favored.
You and Keegan grew up together.
If it weren't for you going abroad for treatment, Stella wouldn't even be in the picture.
I strongly opposed Keegan marrying her.
She's held a grudge against me for years, and now that she's become the golden child, she's constantly at odds with me.
At my age, I couldn't care less.
All I want is for my children to be happy and stable." "But Blake is Keegan's uncle, his only one.
If something really happens to him in the future, fingers will be pointed at Keegan; how could she be so heartless as to discourage him from helping? Isn't she putting Keegan in an unfair position?" As she spoke, she choked up once more.
Jaylene handed her a tissue.
"Stella is too much! Aunt Dahlia, please don't cry.
I'll call Keegan and help you explain the situation.
