Chapter 324
After Aurora had sent Stella to the room, Stella never came out of it. She could not have entered Jackson’s room unless Aurora had led her there in the first place.
It was Stella’s first time at the Kane residence after she got married. She did not even know where Keegan’s room was. So, it was clear that Aurora had led her in there. But, no matter how she tried to explain herself, Dahlia believed she had too much to drink, and her memory was
skewed.
Stella was young and energetic back then and was determined to prove her innocence. She even said that she would go to Cordelia and ask her to investigate this matter clearly.
Dahlia’s expression changed upon hearing this. She told Stella that this incident was ridiculous and embarrassing. If she were to bring the problem to Cordelia, she would only find that she had an affair with Jackson on her wedding night. She told her that no matter the truth, the incident would be a great shame and humiliation to Keegan, and no one would look good if the issue got out of control:
Stella was too young to fight back at that time. She retreated once Dahlia mentioned Keegan’s name. She feared that he would think of her badly like these people did. Stella did not care about other people’s opinions, but she cared about Keegan’s.
Dahlia told her that it would embarrass the family if she told anyone about it to ensure that she would stay quiet. Jackson, of course, did not speak out about molesting his sister-in-law.
When Stella thought about it later, she suddenly realized that Dahlia did not want her to raise the matter because she wanted to protect Aurora. The truth was bound to come out if someone investigated the case.
Stella wanted to tell Keegan about it multiple times, but she was unsure if anything would happen since Aurora was his younger sister. He would be defensive at most and deny it, or he would probably blame Stella for the incident, just like Dahlia did.
