Big Novel

Mr. Kane Got Blacklisted by Eleven Jewell

Chapter 2224
These topics kept resurfacing, and unlike the casual remarks from @ RisingHustuabourg alleging Keegan's abandonment without solid evidence, these topics were backed by concrete proof. For example, there was a severance letter signed and fingerprinted by Dahlia herself, along with remittance records, evidence of Blake's gambling, and her repayment of his debts.
The online discussions immediately flared up.
"Not buying a house but spending two billion in just over a year? Poverty sure puts a damper on my imagination."
"Over ten million a month... I hope my mom never sees this; she might feel insulted by my mere thousand."
"Adopted son, biological brother, case closed."
"Isn't it remarkable how quickly the narrative changes? The Vinci Rivera Group's PR is truly something. Within a few hours, not only did they gain momentum for their products, but they also effortlessly cleared Keegan's name. But seriously, what mother would air her family's dirty laundry online? And she even financially supported her brother. So why would she treat her own son this way? Let's put aside the facts, is Keegan entirely blameless?"
"If we set facts aside, what are we supposed to talk about?"
"Oh my God, it's true what they say about everything under the sun. His mom used his money to cover his uncle's gambling debts, and when he cut her off, she disowned him and spread rumors online about being abandoned. And now he's expected to reflect on his wrongdoings?"
"No matter what, airing your dirty laundry online with your mom is just wrong. It makes me question his character. Anyway, I won't be buying
anything from the Vinci Rivera Group. That Luna robot looks like a copycat of foreign products."
"So basically, if your mom slaps your left cheek, you should offer the right one too? How generous of you."
"Hilarious, you're not buying Luna because you don't want to? It costs over 1.5 million for the top model. If you're that wealthy, why are you scrambling for red packets and lottery draws? Is this how the rich live?"
"I can't shake the feeling that this whole thing is a carefully orchestrated marketing scheme. It conveniently surfaces right before the conference. They could save billions in advertising costs."
"Enough with the marketing talk. Any mother who truly cares for her son wouldn't betray him on such an important day. Wouldn't highlighting the fact that he donated 20 billion be a better marketing strategy? Who in their right mind would use scandal for marketing?"
"Don't you think giving money is considered filial piety? Haven't you seen the news reports? When his mom had surgery and was hospitalized for half a month, he didn't visit her. If the son can't be relied upon, is it wrong of her to rely on money instead?"
"What could he possibly do if he visited? Is he a surgeon? Isn't it better to hire a caregiver with money than to care for her himself?"
In the midst of the intense online debate, Dahlia unexpectedly created an account and posted a lengthy article.
With over three thousand words, she detailed Keegan's life from birth to work, and her sacrifices.
She depicted how much she cherished her son. When Keegan was one year old and had a fever, she braved the rain to take him to the hospital,
even tripping and fracturing her rib in the process, which still ached on rainy days.
When Keegan contracted chickenpox at three, others were afraid to approach, but she personally cared for him day and night, with Keegan nestling in her arms, saying he liked mommy the most.
Aside from caring for Keegan during his illnesses, she also emphasized the difficulties she faced in managing the household after her husband's death, but for the sake of Keegan and his siblings, she remained unmarried for over a decade.
She extensively detailed her own hardships.
