Chapter 492
Dahlia's expression was still normal despite being anxious deep down due to her incident being
exposed. But, her face did not show anything.
’You say that I drugged you and caused you to be infertile. But, what evidence do you have? Just
based on this bottle of drugs?' Dahlia snorted lightly, "You were originally barren. What's wrong with me
seeking an alternative medicine to help nurse your body? You can take this medicine to any random
inspection agency and see which agency would be able to detect the toxicity of these medicines."
Stella gripped her fists tightly. This was the brilliance of Dahlia. Poisoning was too apparent, and she
could be prosecuted at any minute by taking the toxicity analysis reports.
However, it was different if she used alternative medicine. These types of medicine would not show
their effects after one consumption. They need a long time to accumulate. Even if she was holding the
bottle of medicine and found out that there was an ingredient that would be bad for pregnancy, she

An assault crime requires the chain of evidence to be complete. Stella merely had the list for the drug
test from Dahlia this time. She had to drink it many times. Moreover, no evidence could prove that
these drugs and the ingredients of the medicine had the same effect. The law would not support this.
The scary thing about Dahlia was that she had already chosen a way out for herself when she chose
these alternative medications. As long as Dahlia did not admit it and Stella could not prove that
repeated ingestion of the drug had caused her to be infertile, Stella would not be able to do anything to
her.
Dahlia lightly stirred her cup and lifted her gaze. She said, ’ Your body has issues. I searched for a
doctor to prescribe alternative medicine to nurse your body out of the kindness of my heart. Yet, you
bite me in the ass. Stella, aren't you being too heartless?"
Stella clenched her fists. She had really underestimated Dahlia. Even if Dahlia was slapped in the face
with evidence, she could still object without altering her expression.
’What you said is true. I can't show any toxicity tests, but what if I publicized this incident?" Stella said
slowly, "I'll say I bore Keegan's child, and due to drinking your medication, the child did not survive.
Hence, I divorced Keegan. In your words, what do you think grandma would do if it got to her ears?"
Dahlia froze, and her venomous gaze shot toward Stella.
’You think the old lady would believe these lies?”
Stella leaned back. "It doesn't matter whether she believes it or not. As long as the rumor spreads, it
will be enough to ruin your reputation. Grandma values the Kane family’s reputation so much. How
would she handle you by then?"
Dahlia's expression turned extremely ugly. Stella seemed to have poked at her Achilles heel. She was
a widow who had remained a widow for twenty years. The best way to
preserve the Kane family's reputation naturally would be to expel her.
In the past, due to her negligence that caused Keegan to drown, Cordelia had almost expelled her from
the Kane household. If the incident truly harmed the Kane family's reputation, Cordelia would definitely

Dahlia took a deep breath and tried her best to keep calm. She raised her gaze and observed Stella
earnestly. Stella's gaze was like a fiery torch, which met her line of sight. It did not budge at all.
Where is the look of shirking and hopelessness before?' Dahlia thought.
’You have already divorced Keegan. There is no point in being entangled with this matter. My initial
intention was for both of your sake. If you don't want to appreciate it, then fine. I have nothing to say."
Stella clicked her tongue in her mind. Dahlia was definitely a master in psychological battles.
She had baited her for so long, yet she had spoken flawlessly through sheer force. This made Stella
unable to find any weakness in her.
’The emerald thumb ring. Give it up," Dahlia said nonchalantly.
Stella had already found out about the problems with the alternate medicines. Dahlia just wanted to
quickly end the battle and leave after completing her goal as soon as possible. The more she stayed,
the harder it was to guarantee that she would not show her true nature.
