Chapter 1113
Aurora was so choked up that she could not speak. Cordelia then took a deep breath and said in a deep voice, "Your
mother's actions after Stella married your brother had shown that she was not worthy of respect. But, what about
before that?
"Not only did she not help your brother out when he first joined the company, she even transferred his income to
her account, causing him to almost lose himself. After your brother found his footing in the industry, your mom
secretly used his name to promote the Crosby family's business.
They didn't even know how to run a business. Every now and then, they would encounter problems and have your
brother clean up their mess.

lived in our house? It's true that she raised you, but did she use the Crosby family's money to do that? Do you really
think she didn't remarry after your dad passed away because she wanted to take care of you? No. She just couldn't
let go of the opportunities and benefits she reaped from our family."
From the look on Aurora's face, Cordelia knew that she could not accept her comments about Dahlia. Aurora's
feelings for her mother were deeply rooted in her after more than 20 years of upbringing. Although she did not
believe a word that came out of Cordelia's mouth, she did not dare to refute them.
Cordelia took another deep breath and continued, "You were sheltered by your mother since you were a child. Even
if she did not raise you well, she did put in the work like you said. I know you want to fulfill your filial duty to her, but
it's different for your brother. Your mom did not treat him well. Over the years, Keegan had repaid her for giving
birth to him. So, what he does next is up to him. Neither you nor your mother has the right to say anything.
"You can visit her if you're worried about her, and you can move back to your house. But, unless your brother
agrees to let you bring her into our home, you're on your own. You can always find a new place to live with your
mother."
Cordelia's tone was neutral, but her message was loud and clear. At that time, Aurora knew that it was impossible
for her to bring Dahlia back into the house. Before Aurora could say anything, Cordelia waved her hand and said,
"I'm tired. I'm going to take a rest. You may pack your bags if you've decided to move out."
Aurora stayed silent.
When Dahlia heard Cordelia's remarks from her daughter, she was so angry that she pushed everything off the
table. Aurora pursed her lips and said in a low voice, "Mom, why don't you ask Keegan to take you back? He's the
only one with the power to do that right now."
"Your brother has long lost his mind to that whore, Stella. He's not going to listen to me," Dahlia bitterly said.

Stella since it reminded her of when she was locked up.
"How are things going between you and Marshall?"
"He has a girlfriend now," Aurora whispered.
"What?" Dahlia furrowed her brows. "Who's the girl?"
"I'm not sure. He took her to a wedding; I saw the post on Facebook."
"Why didn't you do anything? How could you let someone else take him?" Dahlia said with hatred.
"They've already made their relationship public, Mom. I don't want to be known as the other woman."
"It's not like they're married. Nothing is set in stone yet. You have to actively fight for Marshall, Aurora. You and your
brother wouldn't exist if I didn't fight for your dad back then. You have to be more proactive. Ask Marshall out more
often and find opportunities for yourself, you know? Meet up with that woman and offer her money. If she doesn't
want to take it, then let me know. I'll help you solve the problem."
