Dahlia felt a twinge of guilt and immediately lost the fiery momentum of her earlier shouting, but she still pushed herself to say, “She already has asthma, so who’s to blame if she can’t control her emotions?”
Trevor remarked casually, “The people Jaylene brought with her said you swindled her out of her money. This matter seems related to her condition, right?”
Dahlia’s heart skipped a beat, and then she spotted Stella. Her eyes instantly lit up. “Stella, you’ve come at the perfect time.”
Stella hesitated.
It was odd. It was the first time Dahlia had spoken to her with such enthusiasm.
Dahlia attempted to approach, but Trevor calmly positioned himself in front of Stella, preventing Dahlia from getting too close.
Dahlia halted in her tracks, eager. “Stella, you promised me before that you’d give me a billion to settle the company’s debts. You can’t just go back on your word.”
Her eyes suggested to Stella that if she didn’t hand over the money, she shouldn’t be surprised if Dahlia ignored their familial ties.
Stella pursed her lips. “I agreed to give you a billion because you claimed Kanrara ran off with the money, leaving the company in debt. I gave you the money to clear that debt, but instead, you handed it over to your brother and sister-in-law for their enjoyment. Your brother splurges at the casino, and your sister-in-law stays in luxury hotels. Why should I foot the bill for them?”
Dahlia was taken aback. After calming down, she finally realized what was amiss.
Blake had clearly stated that Kanrara had absconded with the money, so why was Kanrara at the hospital with him?
