Chapter 2414
Mr. Kane Got Blacklisted Chapter 2414 - Darcie closed her eyes and did not move. She simply asked, "Where are we going?"
Alijah replied, "Anywhere. Wenham's biological daughter has been recognized, so it's only a matter of time before they investigate what happened back then. We need to leave the country and find a place to start over. The money we have now is enough for Jaylene to live comfortably for the rest of her life. We don't need to live on the edge anymore."
Darcie withdrew her hand, "After all these years, you're still so naive. You have money, but what about status and connections? Are we going through all this trouble just for a small amount of money? The money will eventually run out. When that happens, what will Jaylene have to rely on?"
Alijah took her hand again, "We can set up a trust for her and limit her spending. Even if we're gone, we won't have to worry about her future."
Darcie pulled her hand away and said coldly, "I will never use a trust to turn my daughter into a dependent. I've spent years building Caline to what it is today. Why should I leave it all behind now? Why should I hand over my hard work to Stella?"
Alijah's eyes were full of disappointment. "Jaylene only wants to marry into the Kane family. Her heart isn't in her work at all. You're unwilling to let go of Caline, but is it for Jaylene or for yourself?"
"For myself?" Darcie gritted her teeth. "If I were only thinking of myself, I wouldn't have followed you in the first place!"
Alijah fell silent, calming himself. Darcie realized she had gone too far and softened her tone, "Alijah, I didn't mean that. I've never regretted being with you."
Alijah's expression was somber. After a long pause, he said, "I know you have great ambitions and never admit defeat. If Wenham hadn't found his daughter, I wouldn't object to anything you wanted to do. But now that she's back, don't you think they'll start questioning why the child was swapped? Trevor even went abroad to find Venice. They're just missing someone who knows the inside story. Once they find out you were involved it won't just be about leaving something for Jaylene-getting away unscathed will be the real challenge."
Darcie pursed her lips, "Didn't you deal with everyone who knew about what happened back then? Even if they suspect, what can they do without evidence? Wenham wants to divorce me, but unless he's willing to give up half his property, I'm still in a favorable position."
"If you really believe that, then why did a single anonymous phone call make you so nervous that you couldn't sleep all night?" Alijah exposed her façade mercilessly. Darcie bit her lip and remained silent for a long time.Content © copyrighted by NôvelDrama.Org.
After handling the anesthesiologist, she thought she could finally relax. But less than two months later, she received a blackmail call.
The blackmail was originally directed at Wenham. The caller claimed to know that his biological daughter was still alive and demanded a million dollars for her location.
She panicked and contacted Alijah while preparing the money.
Although Alijah ultimately handled the situation, the knowledge that Stella was alive left Darcie feeling constantly on edge. Afterward, she used the excuse of visiting Jaylene for medical treatment to convince Wenham to live overseas most of the year.
She wasn't sure if there were any remaining insiders about what happened back then, and this uncertainty was the root of her anxiety.
The world is so big, what are the chances that a baby who has been missing for over 20 years would resurface?
She considered herself lucky, but she never expected Stella to grow up right under her nose and become the daughter-in-law of the Kane family.
Now she was dealing with both internal and external troubles. Not
only did she have to contend with Stella and her sister, but she also had to worry about whether someone who knew the truth from back then would suddenly appear. If that day comes, she would be doomed.
But she thought again-Stella had been publicly acknowledged as a member of the Saun family in such a grand manner. If anyone really knew the truth, wouldn't they have already used it for blackmail? There had been no such movement for years, so perhaps no one knows?
is on !
Alijah said nothing. He knew Darcie too well-she was ambitious and competitive, and she wouldn't withdraw easily until the very last moment. He sighed, "So, you called me here today. What do you want me to do?"
Darcie, seeing that Alijah had seen through her intentions, dropped the pretense. She took out a file and handed it to him, "I need you to help me find this person's whereabouts and who they've been in contact with. I need as much detail as possible."
