Chapter 1459
Jacqueline said, “Even though he knew the Salazar family were a bunch of swindlers, he still got duped. That’s his
own damn fault.”
Steven said, “Mom, would you let me finish?”
Jacqueline said, “Keep talking.”
Steven said, “Kenny was drugged. When he woke up, he was in bed with that woman. Kenny didn’t want to piss you
off, so he tried to keep the whole thing hush-hush by offering her some cash. But it wasn’t money they were after.
They wanted the contract for the project. It’s a big deal for the Dixon Group. Kenny wouldn’t give in that easily. The
Salazar father and son tried to talk him round, and even forged a bunch of documents to trick him. That’s how
everything went south.”
Jacqueline wasn’t surprised at all by the Salazar family’s actions. What did surprise her was Kenneth making such a

Steven seemed to know what she was thinking. “Mom, think about it. You’ve been with Kenny for years. Aside from
this, has he ever messed up?”
Jacqueline thought for a moment. No, he hadn’t. “No.”
Steven said, “Kenny’s always careful with everything, but when it comes to you, he turns into a total dunce.”
Jacqueline asked, “Has the Salazar family been using this to blackmail him all these years?”
Steven nodded, “Yeah.”
Jacqueline said, “What a useless man. He’s part of the Dixon family, the former CEO of the Dixon Group, and yet,
he lets the Salazar family control him.”
Steven said, “That’s all because Kenny was afraid of the scandal.”
Jacqueline said, “If he hadn’t done anything wrong, he wouldn’t be afraid. He was manipulated because he was
guilty.”
Steven said, “I don’t know about Kenny’s guilty conscience. What I do know is that the kid isn’t his. He’s been raising
someone else’s kid without even knowing it.”
Jacqueline asked, “How can you be so sure the kid isn’t Kenny’s?”
Steven said, “I had a DNA test done. The kid has no relation to Kenny.”
Jacqueline said, “So this whole performance today, was to make a fool out of me?”
Steven said, “It’s better I clear the air than let the Salazar family continue to hold this over Kenny’s head. With this
out in the open, they can’t use it against him anymore, can they?”
Steven made a good point.
Jacqueline said, “Drive back home.”
Steven slowly pulled over. “Mom, let’s head in. Go comfort your husband.”
Jacqueline looked around, the car had somehow ended up back at their house. “You’re quite the actor, fooling me
like that.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmSteven said, “You’re my mom, and I’m your son. We’re on the same wavelength. I understand you, and you should
understand me.”
Jacqueline said, “Don’t worry, I’ll talk to Kenny. I’ll try to get him to stay out of your personal life.”
Steven said, “Thanks, Mom!”
Jacqueline said, “About what happened before…”
Steven responded, “As long as Kenny stops meddling in my business. I can let go of the fact he replaced my
people.”
Jacqueline asked, “And if he continues to interfere?”
Steven turned to Jacqueline, giving her a small smile. “If he keeps it up, it might strain our father-son relationship.
I’m sure you wouldn’t want the two men you love most to be at odds, would you?”
“You’re always like this in front of me.” Jacqueline opened the car door and stepped out. “You can leave now!”
“Alright!” Steven started the car, hit the gas, and sped off like a shot arrow.
His car raced down the wide city streets. He owned properties all over the city, but he had no idea where to go.
