Keegan was uncertain about Stella's theory.Stella went into combat mode and quickly contacted Xenia, asking her to find a way to bring Albert over so that he could stop Hylda from getting an abortion. She explained the plan in detail, and when she hung up, she saw Keegan staring at her. "What's wrong?""I thought you asked her to bring Albert so he can catch Hylda having an affair," said Keegan.Stella's expression turned cold. "Hylda is extremely careful about her relationship with Ian. Knowing Albert, he wouldn't believe me without solid evidence."The fact that Hylda is keen to get rid of the child is the strongest evidence I have. I'm not going to let her off that easily."I don't care if she wants an abortion. I want her to carry the pregnancy to term and have Albert personally escort her to give birth!"She got together with Albert when my mom was pregnant, let my mom raise her wild child, and finally tried to kill her."She caused all of this herself. I want her to have
After Xenia hung up with Stella, she called Albert and told him she had fallen and was bleeding.Albert took it as a sign of miscarriage and could not care less about sending his son to school anymore. So instead, he hurriedly rushed over to Xenia's place. He planned to send Xenia to the nearest hospital. Still, she insisted on going to the one in the city, saying that their obstetrics and gynecology department was the best in Rivera.Albert was so eager for a child that he naturally went along with her. He drove Xenia to the city hospital in ten to twenty minutes. Once they got on the elevator, Stella and Keegan took another elevator and followed them.At that time, Hylda had just finished her preoperative evaluation. She was about to go to the operating room when she bumped into Albert, dragging a young woman to the outpatient department in a hurry. "Don't worry... Don't worry... I'm sure everything will be fine..." He comforted the woman in a low voice.Hylda was bewildered. In
Hylda was trembling with anger, and her stomach was starting to ache. She staggered and seemed to be unable to steady herself. At the same time, Ian just returned with a form. Seeing this scene, he immediately stepped forward to help her, "What's the matter, Hylda?"Hylda was pale and fainted without saying a word.Albert heard Ian shout and saw Hylda pass out with blood stains on her skirt.Suddenly, Albert panicked.The two pregnant women were rushed to the emergency room. Keegan had an acquaintance in the city hospital. He called her in advance so that Xenia would not get exposed for her fake pregnancy.The doctor said that Xenia was experiencing symptoms similar to a miscarriage. She prescribed some pills to prevent it and asked her to go home and rest.Albert was relieved after hearing that.Hylda and the baby were also safe. The doctor told them that she was too emotional. Paired with her age, it strained her body and caused the bleeding. However, the baby was in good heal
"You lied to me, saying you were going to church, yet you came here to abort a baby. How could you make such a big decision without consulting me first?!"The image of Xenia's face was embedded in Hylda's mind. When she saw Albert, she felt sick to the stomach and couldn't help but dry heave.Ian quickly grabbed a bucket and put it next to the bed. Hylda tried to throw up for a long time, but nothing came out. Her face was paler than before. Seeing how rough she looked, Albert softened his attitude.He sat on the edge of the bed and took Hylda's hand, whispering, "Didn't we agree to keep the baby? Why on earth are you doing this?"Hylda withdrew her hand with a cold face and asked, "How long have you been with that woman? How many months old is that bastard?"Albert was a little upset when he heard his child being called a bastard, but Hylda was pregnant and had just bled earlier, so he patiently explained, "She's an intern at the company. I've brought her to a few of the meetings
Stella immediately felt a lot better when she thought about how much Albert loved Sophia, yet he was still unwilling to let her inherit his wealth. She was pretty disappointed that she could not be there to witness Sophia's reaction when she heard that.She turned around and asked Keegan, "Are you going to pass your inheritance only to your son, but not your daughter?"Keegan answered, "I'll pass them to you so that you can enjoy them with me. They can earn their own money."Stella could not help but laugh. "Didn't you inherit your wealth from your father? Why are you planning to be so strict with your own child?"Keegan spoke seriously, "It's true my family helped me start well, but I could have everything I have now without them. "It would have just taken me longer, that's all. Grandma holds onto my father's wealth, and I've never used it. "If I weren't skilled enough, I couldn't manage Vinci Rivera even if it was handed down to me."He paused before continuing, "The same goe
Stella said in a low voice, "To be honest, I've only tipped them once. They were having a lucky draw in their live session, and they were going to pick ten winners to get ten thousand dollars each. So, I wanted to try my luck and topped up a few hundred dollars to enter the draw."As expected, she did not win anything at all. Online hosts like them would not just do a money-losing business like that.They decided to give away one million dollars in Hustuabourgian currency because they were confident they could get back ten million or more from their audience's willingness to gamble.Entering the draw cost just a few dollars, offering everyone a shot at winning enough cash to buy a Maserati. The host kept encouraging viewers, saying that the more times they entered, the better their chances of winning.As the draw became popular and attracted up to a million participants, winning became highly unlikely. Yet, the hosts still made a fortune in fame and money from the audience, as organi
Albert tried to grab Hylda again, but Ian blocked his hand and said with a dark expression, "Brother-in-law, the decision you made is very unfair to my sister, yet she didn't say anything harsh to you. How far do you want to push her?"Albert opened his mouth and could not find a word to say.Then, Ian flatly said, "I'm going to hire the best lawyer for my sister in this lawsuit. We're not going to give up on Sophia and Hugo. You should tell your lawyer to be prepared as well."Albert started panicking at that time.Ian was not the same man anymore. He had the advantage over Albert since he married into the Moore family. Besides, Albert did not trust Hylda in keeping the secrets she had been hiding for so many years if their marriage were to be broken.Albert would be caught in serious trouble if that happened.When he thought about that, he got so worried that he immediately stepped forward to stop Hylda. Then, he said in a hoarse voice, "Hylda, don't be mad. I'm foolish and mad
Xenia continued in a hoarse voice, "I know. I'm not trying to get anything from you using the baby, but I just want to bid a proper farewell to it. Even though I got very scared when I first found out about my baby, its existence made me somewhat greedy... for someone who doesn't belong to me."She started sobbing as she spoke. "Mr. Jewell, I don't want anything from you. I can have an abortion like you wanted, but can we not do it today? The doctor just let me listen to my baby's heartbeat, and my baby is probably conscious now. I want to have a proper conversation with my baby and tell the baby that I'm not giving up on it because I don't love it.Albert saw Xenia crying, and his heart immediately softened.She looked so much like Rainee when she was crying. Besides, he even started to feel like their voice sounded very similar too even though it might just be an illusion.When she cried and said those words, he could almost see Rainee in her twenties standing in front of him wit
