Sophia wanted to use this opportunity to humiliate Stella, but Stella did not give her a chance. After she checked Sophia out, Stella asked, "Which doctor helped do your face? Do you not plan to sue them?"I know a lawyer specializing in medical cases, and I can introduce him to you. Then you can have more compensation to find a better doctor to fix it."She spoke with such "sincerity" that the woman standing next to her waiting for the stall could not help but look over. Technically, she was looking at Sophia's face.Sophia's expression immediately contorted in rage, but she had yet to absorb the injection she got fully. The muscles on her face were slightly stiff while her lips twitched like she had facial palsy. This further cemented Stella's statement on Sophia's plastic surgery.Sophia had yet to open her mouth when her best friend could not resist helping her stand up to Stella, "Sophia had greeted you out of the kindness of her heart. Don't you think the words you said are t
With just a few sentences, she cursed both people without using any cuss words.Sophia was frustrated. Stella, the bane of the socialite group photos, has become an actress who survived by selling her body on the silver screen. Yet, the arrogance in her has not subsided and even grew more outrageous.Laura said, "It seems the rumors are true. If not, why would her arrogance skyrocket?"Sophia looked at her, "What rumors?"Laura got closer and said mysteriously, "I heard that Stella had hooked up with the son of the Saun family. Soon after she divorced, someone saw her and Trevor looking for houses. She also signed with a company under the Saun family. This is not a coincidence, right?"Sophia paused, "You sure?"Laura replied, "I also heard some gossip but didn't see it with my own eyes. However... if no one was backing her, how would she have the guts to speak to you like that? She is an illegitimate child. Shouldn't she tuck her tail between her legs when she meets you, the leg
Sophia saw this scene play out, and her expression contorted bitterly.'Stella was actually having a meal with Keegan! Aren't they divorced? They had made such an ugly mess back then, and he divorced her with nothing to her name. How could he still have lunch with her? Why would they even have such intimate interactions?' These questions filled Sophia's head.'No wonder Stella was so fearless. She was hooking up with Keegan while fooling around with Trevor. After she divorced, she has been even more in her element, hanging around with men,' Sophia continued her train of thought.Sophia hated yet envied her so much that she left without even eating. Her best friend waited a long time and did not see Sophia return. Hence, she went out and searched for her.Instead, just as she was about to step out the door, she was blocked by a waiter. The waiter made her pay the bill first.Laura replied, "I'm looking for my friend. When she comes back, we'll pay together."The waiter instead dir
Sophia continued to throw the seed hulls on the floor as she said indifferently, "I'm teaching Samantha to tidy up the house. Her work is getting sloppy because she is growing older.""You're too much!"Albert roared in anger, "Do you think I wouldn't know how capable Samantha is after she had worked for us for all these years?!"He lifted Samantha and told off Sophia with a scowl on his face. "Apologize to Samantha! Now!"Sophia's expression turned ugly. She threw away the nuts that were still in her hand, and shrieked, "I won't! How is it my fault when she was the one who didn't do her job well?""What's with that attitude of yours? Don't you have any manners?!"'Sophia no longer seemed well-mannered after taking in all three mother and daughters. She was a sweet and caring person that would help with spring cleaning, helping the attendants with their work, and even serving them drinks. Why did she change?'Blaming herself for escalating the conflict between the both of them,
Albert frowned. "What nonsense are you spouting?"Sophia coldly harrumphed, "That respectful daughter of yours not only got back together with Keegan after the divorce, but she also hooked onto the Saun family's sole heir. She even wanted me to tell you to return her mother's dowry and the Kane family's betrothal gift. She will find a time to pick it up, and she will sue if you don't give it back."Albert's expression turned grotesque, gritting his teeth as he said, "Why is she biting the hand that fed her now?"Having been humiliated by the slap along with the addition of Hylda's presence, Sophia sarcastically whispered, "Why wouldn't she dare? Anyone would hate you to the core if you divorced their mother immediately after she turned vegetative."Hylda frowned and shouted, "Shut up!"Sophia stopped speaking even though she was unhappy about it. Hylda continued, "She's really funny. Who is she to want us to return the betrothal gift when she is already divorced? Only the Kanes ha
Stella clenched her jaw and replied, "Albert."Felicity was outraged. "That piece of trash dared to call you?!""Who knows? It's bound to be something bad."The phone rang again as she spoke. Felicity replied, "Pick it up. Let's see what that trash wants. Hopefully, he'll spit out the money that belongs to Rainee."Stella pondered for a moment before she answered the phone. She wondered what made him so anxious that he would spam call her."Stella, please don't hang up," said Albert as soon as the call patched through.Stella turned on the loudspeaker, placed the phone on the table, and started recording. "Albert, I could report you for harassment after you pestered us with your non-stop calls.""I only want to discuss something. Nothing more," said Albert warmly.Stella responded irritatingly, "Tch. What else is there between us apart from the lawsuit? There is still room for discussion if Sophia has passed on the message, and you plan to return the money."Albert's expressio
If Felicity did not observe Stella's face, her soft tone alone was convincing enough that she was moved by Albert's words.Albert stuttered when he heard 'publicly announce'."H-How do you plan to announce it?""At least go through proper adoption application procedures, publish it on the media, and set a will. With all that, I'd at least get a share of the inheritance when you pass away."Albert's face was a little stiff. He only wanted to use Stella to create connections, not to give her rights to her inheritance."Stella, isn't it too early for us to discuss this? It's not very appropriate if I were to write my will when I'm still quite healthy. Besides, aren't you making it difficult for me since adults can't go through the adoption application? Don't worry, even without these two, I will still treat you as my own biological daughter. In the public's eyes, you'd be the daughter of the Jewell family, my daughter. It doesn't matter if you remarry Keegan or other families. The Je
'With the Vinci Rivera Group backing him, Albert became well-off after using my marriage with the Kane family to boost sales. His sales were likely to dip after my divorce from Keegan since he didn't focus on product development or expanding his loyal customer base.'Even so, the Jewell Group should be able to weather a crisis with their years of experience and accumulated wealth.'There's definitely something more to Albert's scheme that led him to such a crooked idea.' Unable to figure out the reason, Stella stopped dwelling on it.She wondered if she could regain her mother's villa with the recording. Eager to reach out to Marshall, she hesitated while recording a message and deleted it promptly.Consulting Marshall would be the easiest, but she knew it would spark Keegan's jealousy, creating another issue to argue over. So, she raised her eyes and asked, "Felicity, can your lawyer friend handle inheritance disputes?"Felicity replied, "Should be. He will take anything. Why don
