Mr. Kane Got Blacklisted

Mr. Kane Got Blacklisted Chapter 2412 - Darcie closed her eyes, her mind racing despite her attempt to remain composed. When she finally spoke, her voice was a mere whisper, "Where are we going?" Alijah's tone was filled with urgency as he replied, "Anywhere but here. Wenham's biological daughter has been recognized, and you know they won't rest until they uncover the truth. We can't stay in the country; we need to start over somewhere new. The money we have is more than enough for Jaylene to live comfortably for the rest of her life. We don't need to live in constant fear anymore."

Darcie pulled her hand away from his, a bitter smile forming on her lips. "You're still so naive, Alijah. Money can only take us so far. What about status and connections? We didn't go through all this just for a bit of money. That money will run out eventually. And when it does, we'll be gone, leaving Jaylene to fend for herself."

Alijah took her hand again, gently but firmly. "We can set up a trust for her, limit her spending. Even if something happens to us, we can ensure she'll be taken care of."

Darcie withdrew her hand once more, her voice icy. "I will not use a trust to turn my daughter into a useless dependent. I've spent years building Caline into what it is today. Why should I walk away now and hand over everything I've worked for to Stella?"

Alijah's eyes clouded with disappointment as he looked at her. "Jaylene only wants to marry into the Kane family. She has no interest in running the business. Are you clinging to Caline for her sake, or is it for yourself? Darcie's voice shook with anger. "For myself? If I were truly selfish, would I have followed you in the first place?"

Silence fell between them, thick with unspoken words. Darcie regretted her harsh tone almost immediately. She softened her voice. "Alijah, I didn't mean that. I don't regret being with you."Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.

Alijah's gaze remained distant. "I know you have your ambitions, and you've never been one to back down from a fight. If Wenham hadn't recognized his daughter, I wouldn't question your decisions. But now, things are different. His daughter is back, and people will start asking questions. The truth about the baby swap might come out. What then? If they find out you were involved, it'll be more than just losing Caline. We could lose everything."

Darcie pressed her lips together, her mind racing. "Didn't you take care of everyone who knew about it? Without evidence, what can they do? Wenham wants a divorce, but unless he's willing to give up half of his fortune, I'm still in a strong position."

Alijah looked at her, his voice cutting through her bravado. "If you're so confident, why did a simple phone call with no one on the other end keep you up all night? You're scared, Darcie. You know there's still a risk."

Darcie said nothing, the memories of that terrifying night flooding back. After dealing with the anesthesiologist who knew too much, she'd thought she was safe. But then the blackmail call came, demanding money in exchange for keeping quiet about Wenham's daughter. She'd panicked, but Alijah had managed to handle it. Yet the fear had never left her. Stella's return only amplified it.

The odds of a baby missing for over twenty years returning were slim But somehow, Stelle had grown up right under her nose and now was poised to marry into the Kane family.

Darcie couldn't shake the feeling that her world was crumbling around her. "If someone really knew theyo M would'velblackmailed us long ago. Maybe no one knows the full story," she said, more to convince herself than Alijah.

Alijah remained silent, knowing that Darcie wouldn't back down until the very end. He sighed. "So, what do you

want me to do?"
