Chapter 2327

Keegan always felt that Larry was a bit too concerned about Stella. Getting reassigned and having a pay cut when you're already strapped for cash would make most people resentful. But not only did Larry not complain, he even gave Stella a drawing by his own son, which was quite unusual.

However, the background check Keegan did on Larry showed nothing suspicious. In fact, Larry's life could be described as quite unfortunate. Larry's son wasn't born deaf. He lost his hearing due to a kidnapping incident. Mistaken for a wealthy family's child, the kidnappers demanded a ransom, but the wealthy family refused to pay. The police, fearing the kidnappers might harm the child, didn't inform them they had the wrong kid. When the kidnappers realized the ransom wasn't coming, they abandoned the child and fled.

After Larry's son was rescued, doctors declared he had permanently lost his hearing. Larry's wife, who had a family history of mental illness, couldn't cope with the trauma and had a mental breakdown. Another reason Keegan didn't want Larry around Stella was that Larry had a gambling history before his son's incident.

Every time he got his paycheck, Larry would disappear for days, spending all his money in casinos. He hardly cared for his wife and child, leaving his wife to earn whatever she could from odd jobs to support their minimal needs. Larry's transformation happened after his family's misfortune. The once idle man suddenly turned over a new leaf, finding a stable job and taking care of his wife and child.

Those who knew Larry couldn't help but sigh, "A prodigal son who returns is worth more than gold." Larry not only quit gambling, but also stopped drinking, and took care of his deaf son and often-ilI wife without complaint. But Keegan didn't believe a gambler could truly change. Like his uncle, Blake Crosby, who would kneel and swear off gambling every time he lost,
