Mr. Kane Got Blacklisted by Eleven Jewell

Chapter 1727
Cordelia was getting old. Even though she put all her strength into slapping Dahlia, it didn't match the force Dahlia used on Aldor
a moment before.
Dahlia, who was in her fifties, felt really embarrassed about being slapped. It didn't hurt too much, but she was still shocked by
what happened.
Covering her face in disbelief, Dahlia uttered, "Cordelia?"
With a stern look, Cordelia replied, "If Aldor hadn't helped Keegan during his disappearance, he would've lost his position in the
company. And you wouldn't be allowed in this house."
"Aldor and all the Rivera employees earn their places here because of what they can do. They're not your workers to scold and
hit. You're ruining the Kane family's reputation!" she went on.
Dahlia's face changed from red to pale. After a moment, she clenched her teeth and apologized, saying, "I'm sorry, Cordelia."
Keeping her cold expression, Cordelia told her, "You should apologize to Aldor, not me."
Clenching her fists, Dahlia turned to Aldor and muttered an apology.
Aldor didn't say anything. Instead, he told Cordelia he was leaving.
"Wait," Cordelia stopped him. "Aldor, come with me. Let's attend to the injury on your face before you leave."
Aldor agreed and went with her.
As Dahlia glared at their retreating figures, Cordelia sighed." Aldor, you've been through a lot."
Aldor shook his head and said, "You don't need to stand up for me, Madam. Ms. Crosby is Mr. Kane's mother, after all."
Cordelia smiled. "You're only two years younger than Keegan, yet you speak with such maturity. Even if Keegan doesn't recall
kicking Dahlia out, I'm certain he won't ignore it. You're looking out for his team, and it's my turn to look out for you in return.”
Aldor's heart softened. He lowered his eyes, finding it hard to express himself. Finally, he said, "I wonder when Mr. Kane will get
better."

"We can only let things happen as they will," Cordelia suggested.
After a brief silence, she suddenly asked, "Aldor, do you have a girlfriend?"
Aldor was a bit surprised by the sudden shift in conversation and answered truthfully, "No."
With his demanding job, Aldor found little time for a social life. He spent half his month burning the midnight oil with Keegan and
the other half helping him navigate his personal life.
Six years after graduation, he had been in three relationships, all of which ended for the same reason-his busy work schedule,
leaving him with no time for them.
After three unsuccessful attempts, Aldor stopped going on blind dates altogether, conveniently using his demanding work as an
excuse.
However, the pressure from his mother only increased each year. Aldor felt distressed whenever the topic is brought up.
He enjoyed watching Keegan and Stella in love but could not picture himself in a relationship.
It was challenging to find a like-minded confidante in all aspects. Moreover, Aldor was not willing to spend time trying to win a girl
over or put in effort in cultivating a relationship, given his age. He would rather use the time and effort to double his bonus.
"Is your family pushing you to settle down?" Cordelia inquired.
Aldor sighed, "They do that every year when I return for the holidays."
Cordelia chuckled and asked, "What do you think of Aurora?"
Her question left Aldor taken aback.
