Mr. Kane Got Blacklisted by Eleven Jewell

Chapter 1976
Aurora was dumbfounded. "Did you also hurt your head? Are you saying that you'd take another punch for just three hundred
thousand?" "Tsk," Aldor clicked his tongue. "Ms. Kane, you don't know how hard it is to survive these days. I would even do it for
thirty thousand. This has got to be the easiest money I've ever earned in my life. Now I know why so many people love to stage
accidents. To reap without sowing is such a wonderful feeling."
Aurora was left speechless by his response. "I can't believe how money- minded you are! You'd let somebody hit you just
because of money? Do you not have dignity?" "Dignity won't put food on the table." Aldor chuckled and added, "If I were to
punch him back, I'll get myself arrested when the police arrive.
"I might even end up offending his boss, which would make my life harder in the company.
"I'm just a mere employee here. How can I afford to do that? Three hundred thousand is worth a few months of my salary. So,
what's more important? Dignity or money?"
Aldor was merely telling Aurora about the reality faced by working-class people like him. Aurora used to think that just because
her family paid their employees to get things done, they could treat them however they wanted.
She was too used to being demanding and never thought much about her behavior back then. However, after being lectured by
Cordelia, she finally realized how inappropriate she was acting.
Now that she had witnessed Aldor being bullied by her family and there was nothing he could do to retaliate, she felt disgusted
by her past actions.
On one hand, she was ashamed of doing things that were similar to what Chandler just did. And, on the other hand, she felt that
Aldor wastoo timid.

"Next time, if you find yourself in a situation like this, just fight back. Keegan will back you up, so there's nothing to be afraid of.
Right now, you're embarrassing me-my brother!"
Aldor said in a gentle tone, "Throwing punches won't solve everything in the business world." "Why not?" Aurora glowered at him
and said, "Everyone's going to take advantage of you with how soft you are. People will laugh at me if this gets out!"
Aldor paused before he asked, "Why would they?"
Aurora was taken aback. Then, she angrily threw the cotton swab at him and said through gritted teeth, "Do it yourself!"
After that, she stormed off with a stern face.
Aldor was puzzled.
Keegan glanced at him. "Your acting was a bit much."
Aldor uncomfortably scratched his head. "Ms. Kane is unpredictable. She's probably just thinking about the egg sandwiches my
mom made her. She'll need more time to figure this out."

By saying that, Aldor was also giving himself more time to think about it.
Keegan's stance remained neutral. Aldor was a rational man, and given his character, he would never do anything to hurt
Aurora. That was also the reason why Keegan did not object to the two of them going out.
"Does it still hurt?" Keegan asked.
"Not at all." Aldor smiled and continued, "It's nothing serious."
After a brief pause, Aldor added, "Mr. Kane, if you really can't bear to do this, why don't you talk to Mrs. Kane and see if she's
willing to give in a little?"
Keegan shook his head. "My mom is different from yours. I've already given her too many chances.”
Aldor did not say anything more.
He was just saying it out of courtesy. After all, Dahlia had brought everything upon herself. If she had been honest and satisfied
with what she had, despite her pursuit of a luxury lifestyle, Keegan's income could easily support that. Unfortunately, she was
greedy and always coveted the company's shares.
Keegan's phone rang, as he spoke. He looked at it and immediately handed it to Aldor.
Aldor's gaze fell on the phone. 'Hmph. Jaylene Saun,' he scoffed inwardly.
When the phone was about to stop ringing, Aldor answered it.
Jaylene's excited voice came through. "Hey-ya, Keegan." "Hello, Ms. Saun. This is Aldor."
Aldor's serious tone immediately made Jaylene drop her flirtatious voice.
Then, she frowned and asked, "What? Where's Keegan?"
Aldor thought to himself, 'Wow, she can speak like a normal person, after all. Why would she automatically turn coquettish
whenever she talks to Mr. Kane?'
