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
The worker had no choice but to comply with Trevor's request, even though it was beyond his capabilities. He opened the toolbox and rummaged through the miniature dismantling tools. Luna's mechanical eyes scanned through the pile of tools. It then said suddenly, "Mister, you can only dismantle me by sending me back to the factory. It would be dangerous for anyone besides my authenticated owner to disassemble me."The worker nearly dropped the tool in his hand. "Mr. Saun. Maybe we should stop."The robot was super smart, even able to predict human behavior. The worker hesitated, worried he might struggle to put it back together once he took it apart.Trevor, casually sipping his tea, said, "Just go for it. If it gets too noisy, shut it down."The worker, after a moment of thought, powered Luna down. As he began disassembling it and reached the motherboard, Luna, supposed to be off, suddenly grabbed his wrist.Trevor, wide-eyed, watched as the Shiny Egg's limbs stretched, transfor
"We've never encountered this in our experimental stage. What did you do?" Keegan asked.Trevor was naturally not going to say that he wanted to dismantle Luna. So, he stubbornly said, "How could I even do anything to a robot? There's a bug in your development." He then continued, "Quit talking nonsense, and tell me how to stop it!"Keegan sneered at Trevor in his heart and thought, 'What a stubborn guy.' Keegan then replied seriously, "Wait for a while. I'll go ask.""Hurry up!" After hanging up the phone call, Trevor lay on the floor, as Luna had pinned both of his hands behind his back. Robots were nothing like humans. They had no idea how to control their strength, so Trevor felt as though his arms were about to be dislocated. His arms were in pain and numb at the same time."Trevor, did Keegan build this robot?" Jaylene sat on the stair far away from them and asked out of curiosity. Trevor retorted, "Besides him, who would have created such a useless thing!""Whoa, he's quite
Keegan lied to Trevor. He knew the way to solve the problem. Luna's energy consumption was high when it activated its defense mode passively. Therefore, the time set for the defense state was very short, which was only two hours. These two hours were enough to embarrass Trevor to death. For example, his father's first reaction after getting home was not to save him from despair but to take pictures and post them on social media.As soon as Leighton saw the picture on social media, he instantly made it into a sticker that said, "Me and my life" and sent it to the family chat of the Hall family. It then turned into a year-long joke.Keegan finished the evening meeting and instructed some work to Aldor. When Keegan finished, Aldor said, "Keegan, it's Valentine's Day today. Aren't you going to go celebrate it with Stella?"Keegan was stunned and furrowed his brows. "Why did you only now remind me?" He had forgotten about the holiday and had not prepared a gift.Keegan was speechless. H
