Mr. Kane Got Blacklisted by Eleven Jewell

Chapter 2226
"We've always celebrated maternal love, and rightly so, as it's truly remarkable. However, not every mother embodies this virtue. Those who exploit maternal love to control their children and selfishly demand from them-can we really fault the child for rebelling?
"For years since Keegan graduated, he's been consistently donating money for books and scholarships to our alma mater. Last year, when the school requested him to write messages for the children, we all expected words of encouragement for their studies and future endeavors. Instead, he wrote, "May you grow up free of worries and full of happiness/ It's evident he's still in touch with his inner child.
"It's been over a decade since his graduation, and our communication hasn't been frequent. However, two years ago, when my husband required surgery, my child was studying abroad, and my own health had deteriorated over the years, Keegan somehow got wind of it. He arranged for my husband's hospitalization and personally handled all the procedures with me.
"Keegan was an exceptional student among many, and as a teacher, I couldn't provide individual attention to everyone. I was just an ordinary educator who spent three years teaching him, now retired and unable to offer career assistance. Yet, despite this, he hasn't forgotten the kindness extended to him. How could someone like him abandon his birth mother?
"As I pen these words, my son advised against posting them due to the uncertain public sentiment, fearing backlash. But I'm undeterred. I know the kind of person he is, yet I stay silent, allowing him to be unfairly criticized. As his teacher, it weighs heavily on my conscience.
"He's honorable and upright, and I'm proud to have had him as a student."
Stella's eyes welled up as she read the post.
This teacher wasn't someone she had reached out to. They provided their teaching credentials and a graduation photo with Keegan on Facebook to verify their identity.
They truly were Keegan's teacher.
The teacher's extensive post stripped away Dahlia's facade of hypocrisy, and it also brought forward Keegan's classmates, teachers, and even scholarship recipients.
Some corroborated the teacher's account, while others described Keegan's character. Messages of support came pouring in from around the world.
The kindness Keegan had shown the world was now being reciprocated in his time of need.
Stella felt a sudden wave of gratitude. It was heartening to see so many people caring for Keegan. While he yearned for Dahlia's affection, there were others silently supporting him.
Stella took a deep breath and instructed someone to delete the unsent audio.
It was a recording of a conversation between Keegan and Dahlia.
Before the uproar, Dahlia had called Keegan, but the negotiation didn't go her way, leading to a torrent of foul language.
Releasing the audio could dismantle Dahlia's image as a "loving mother," but Stella chose not to share it at this time.
With numerous witnesses, Dahlia's lies crumbled one by one. Initially denying everything, she faced mounting evidence, prompting creditors for the Crosby family to converge and her comment section to collapse.
A Facebook account created that morning was deleted by evening.
Dahlia, who had given birth but failed to nurture, draining her son's resources to support her family, even plotting against her own son-her reputation was irreparably damaged.
