Keith continued, "When I asked for help, they demanded I kneel before them publicly. I refused. Desperate, I turned to your mother. The Vazquez family had the resources to help, but your mother refused to do that." He paused, his lips curling into a bitter smile. “In the end, I had no choice but to kneel, finally getting the money to save the Aston family." Eileen felt her heart tighten. "Is that why you've worked so hard to take revenge on my mother? You spent thirty years building a reputation as a kind and honorable man, all while hiding your true motives to escape the consequences." Keith looked at Eileen for a while. "What are you talking about? I have no reason to seek revenge against your mother. She gavethe chance to save the Aston family, even though I had to kneel at that time." "But you despise her for not using the Vazquez family's money to help you. You hate that she stood by while you kneeled and were forced to beg your enemies, losing your dignity. That shhas haunted you your entire life," Eileen said. She had sensed something was wrong with Keith a long tago.

You put the Aston family in that position. My mother wanted to teach you a lesson. And she was right! That shmade you quit, but it also twisted you. You deserved her love!" Eileen said.
Keith's calm facade shattered. He threw the shovel to the ground, anger flaring in his eyes. "How could she love me? She could have saved me, but she chose to watchsuffer and be humiliated. Is that what you call love?" "You wouldn't have learned a lesson otherwise," Eileen shot back. "The fact that you knelt before your enemies was hidden from the world. No one knew it except for the people present at that time.” Eileen seethed with bitter disappointment as she exclaimed, "My mother blocked the news of you kneeling, and even I couldn't find out about it until now!" Eileen and Bryan harbored doubts about Keith. They knew it was often the one who kept their hands too clean who harbored the dirtiest secrets.

Yet, despite her suspicions, Eileen couldn't wrap her head ground what could have driven Keith to do something so sinister.
"How could Dottie just assI'd never quit gambling without even givinga chance?" Keith's voide trembled with a mix of anger and desperation. The veins on his forehead pulsed. "I was tricked into that casino the first time! Don't paint her as a saint-she never loved me!"
Eileen's lips twisted into a bitter smile, laced with irony and sorrow. "If she didn't love you, why would she have gone to such lengths to cover En up your gambling and the humiliation of you begging on your knees? She even gave birth toafter you two split up."
