“How much money are we talking about?” Stella pursed her lips and tentatively inquired.
“That depends on how much the other party wants, I guess,” Olivia replied.
“Is Dahlia going to pay her whatever amount she asks?”
“What do you think? Dahlia was kicked out of the Kane residence and had her financials restricted. How much money does she have left? It’s barely enough for her to maintain a decent living.”
“But you just said it depends on how much the other party wants.”
“Yeah, but that doesn’t mean Dahlia would give her what she asks. Do you really think she’d be that kind and just give Marshall’s girlfriend money for free? She is definitely going to blackmail the girl and will probably get arrested for it.”
Stella went quiet after hearing that.
“So, do you recognize the girl or not?” Olivia questioned.” Give me something to work with so that I can report back to Dahlia.”
“I’m the girl in the picture,” said Stella.
“What?” Olivia thought she had misheard her.
Stella then briefly talked about what had happened that
night, and Olivia burst out laughing. “I think Dahlia must’ve wronged your ancestors in her past life. And now, you’re here to haunt her. Her son literally kicked her out of the house for you. She’s gonna flip if she knows you’re having an affair with her self-proclaimed son-in-law.”
Stella’s eyelids twitched at the sound of that. “We didn’t have an affair. I was just doing Marshall a favor.”
“Well, it doesn’t matter. Dahlia is already trying to track the girl down, so be careful. Don’t let her find out that it’s you. Otherwise, with the grudge she has against you, she’d probably skin you alive.”
“I’m not afraid of her,” Stella sneered.
“Do whatever you want if you don’t intend to be with Keegan in the long run. But I suggest that you hold back a little if you ever decide to get back with him. We both know he’ll choose to protect you, and people will label him as an unfilial son. It won’t affect him. But, in the long run, what if it goes on for ten or twenty years? Can you be sure that he wouldn’t blame you for the downfall of his reputation? You have to take a step back with Dahlia, Stella. It’ll be Keegan’s only way out of her control.”
Stella was silent for a moment before she said, “It’s kind of surprising that a hopeless romantic like you would say such a thing.”
Upon hearing that, the corner of Olivia’s lips twitched. ‘The things she says are so annoying! No wonder Dahlia doesn’t like her!’
“I heard that your husband was nominated for the election. From what I see on their official page, he got hundreds of thousands of votes and is the runner-up in the campaign. It seems like he is rather popular with the people.”
“That’s bullshit. No one knows him other than the people in his office. At least 70% of those votes were my doing!” Olivia laughed coldly.
Erick did not have a great relationship with his colleagues. He often thought that he was better than others and complained about them behind their backs. He would also patronize those with a higher ranking than him and be cruel to his subordinates. Whenever he was assigned tasks, he would use his
authority and have his juniors work overtime to finish them. No one would have voted for Erick if it were not for Olivia.
“How in the world did you get so many people to vote for him?” Stella asked in surprise.
“All my years and hard work of maintaining relationships in this circle weren’t for nothing,” Olivia said proudly. She was not good with words in the past. However, she began to step up and develop connections with people for the sake of her husband and her family. Olivia met tons of people and suffered a lot of humiliation, which allowed her to gain more social skills. Although not many of the contacts she had accumulated over the years would help with major issues, they were still willing to lend a hand when it came to voting for her husband.
“Let me know when you’re going to take your revenge,”
Stella said solemnly. “I enjoy watching scumbags get what they deserve.”
“You mean Dahlia?”
Stella bit her lips and said, “Yes.”
“Since you have people to vote for your husband, I’m assuming that they can help spread some news, right?” Stella suddenly asked when they were about to hang up.
“Yes, but spreading too much fake news would result in a lawsuit.”
