The Crosby family had been declining ever since Dahlia tied the knot.

The Crosby siblings, all looks and no brains, would have disappeared from high society long ago if not for the support of the Kane family in recent years.

After Keegan cut ties with Dahlia, who was using Cordelia’s name to manipulate and deceive for her brother's business, the already struggling company took a further nosedive.

But Blake's wife running off with the money? Stella wasn't buying it.

They hadn't even gotten a divorce, so where could she possibly run off to with two children in tow? If she was going to leave, why not do it when Blake had money? Without money, where could she possibly go? And Keegan's aunt wasn't that naive.

Blake was a gambler, blowing through half of the Crosby family's fortune despite his good looks and respectable background.

None of the well-mannered girls wanted to marry a gambler like him.

Blake's wife, Kanrara Kent, was introduced to him by someone from the Crosby family.

She came from an average family, looked plain, and had a fiery temperament.
