Mr. Kane Got Blacklisted by Eleven Jewell

Chapter 1405
Stella could not help but laugh upon hearing Sophia's claims. "Oh dear. Do you think I want to be associated with a family of
murderers? You should probably keep your family in order."
Having said that, Stella paid no further attention to Sophia and headed straight into the police station. Sophia clenched her teeth
in anger and followed suit.
When the two groups of visitors arrived, the police asked Albert whom he'd like to see first. Sophia was convinced that Albert
would want to see her. After all, she was now the sole remaining member of the Jewell family. 'Even if Dad doesn't want to
entrust all his assets to me, he would still require my assistance in clearing his name,' she thought.
However, that was not the case. The police soon informed them that Albert had explicitly requested to see Stella.
Stella was not the least bit surprised. A considerable amount of Albert's wealth was invested in Semiconductor Technology. His
company was already running at a loss, and Sophia would receive nothing more than an empty shell. Sophia might even be
burdened with Albert's debts once his charges were confirmed.
Albert was keenly aware of this, which was why he needed to see Stella first. After all, she still maintained an intimate connection
with Keegan. As long as Keegan stepped in, there was still a glimmer of hope for him.
Stella was sitting in the visiting room, patiently waiting, when the door creaked open, and the police escorted in Albert.
Upon seeing Stella, he became visibly agitated and attempted to rush over. The officers firmly held his shoulders and guided him
to the chair per protocol.
Since Albert had not been formally charged yet, the visiting room had no thick glass partition. He still seemed somewhat decent,
but he had lost some weight, and his hair had turned gray.
Albert tried to force a smile when he saw Stella and warmly said, "Stella, you're here."
Stella's expression was calm. She looked at the middle- aged man before her and noticed he was far from what she
remembered. He was no longer the impatient man in her memory, nor the proud and ambitious scholar depicted in her mother's
photo album.
He appeared to have lost his will to fight and was desperate to be set free.

"The police called and said you wanted to see me. What's up?" Stella pursed her lips and calmly inquired.
Albert licked his chapped lips, apparently unsure of how to start. Stella grabbed a bottle of water from the table, poured the liquid
into a glass, and pushed it toward him.
Albert hesitated for a moment, touched by her gesture. He took the glass with both hands and drank the water all in
one go. After that, he lowered his voice and said, "Stella, please help me."
Stella's face remained unchanged. "Help you with what?" She asked.
"Your mother's car crash wasn't an accident. It was Hylda's doing. She wanted to become the next Mrs. Jewell. So, she arranged
for someone to tamper with the vehicle. Now that she has nowhere to run, she's trying to drag me down with her."
