Impulsive Vow to an Enigmatic Husband

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 rookie mistake. Thinking about it made her blood boil. She was so pissed that she didn’t even want to talk.

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.”
