Mr. Kane Got Blacklisted by Eleven Jewell

Chapter 219
“The ones made by a different cook will taste different. I remember you used to love them.” Stella pursed her lips and stopped
declining. “Thank you, Dad.”
After a moment of silence, Albert spoke. “To be honest, I haven’t been feeling great for the past few days. It’s like white truffles.
As long as you’re part of the family, it doesn’t matter who eats them.” He sighed, and his voice was filled with remorse. “I
regretted it when I got out of the hospital that day. It’s hard for me to apologize as a parent, but the bracelet I gave you was my
way of saying sorry. If you’re not happy with it, please let me know. I won’t scold you for it.”
If he had said that a few years ago, Stella might have felt moved by his words.
In the past, before the accident happened, Rainee used to paint a perfect picture of Albert as a father in Stella’s mind. So, during
those times, Stella still had hope for Albert.
However, after the accident, his cold and ruthless actions destroyed the father-daughter relationship in Stella’s heart.
His true colors were selfish and unkind, and whenever he showed “fatherly love”, there was always a hidden agenda.
Stella mocked him inwardly, as she impassively replied, “Forget it. It’s all over. You did that for the Jewell family’s sake.”
“It’s good to know that you see it that way.” Albert breathed a sigh of relief. “One more thing, Sophia is working at the Vinci
Rivera Group now. She’s still new, and there may be a lot of things she doesn’t understand. Tell Keegan to look after her.”
Stella’s face suddenly turned gloomy.
“Doesn’t she have a job? Why did she join the Vinci Rivera Group:
“She didn’t have much room for growth before. It just so happened that the Vinci Rivera Group was recruiting people a while ago,
so I asked her to try it out. I didn’t expect her to make it. Today is her first day. I thought we could celebrate together. But, since
you haven’t been feeling well lately, we can do it another day.”
Stella felt that it was unbelievable.
She thought to herself, ‘the Vinci Rivera Group has a very high standard. Every year, they recruit master’s students as a starting
point with very few undergraduates. Even if they do recruit undergraduates, they are from top universities.

‘Sophia went to a third-rate university, which is far from meeting the standard. How could she possibly get in?
‘And, I got no wind of this. Keegan didn’t mention it either.’
Stella’s face was tense and expressionless as she said, “Keegan doesn’t like me meddling in company affairs, so I don’t think I
can say much. Since Sophia was able to get in with her own abilities, she shouldn’t have a problem surviving there. I think you’re
worrying too much.”
“How could that be? Keegan would at least take care of her for your sake,” Albert paused and added, “With Sophia in the Vinci
Rivera Group, you’ll be able to know right away if there’s
anything going on with Keegan, won’t you?”
In other words, Sophia in the Vinci Rivera Group was like an informant inserted by Albert to help Stella keep an eye on things
and secure her position.
On the surface, it seemed as though Albert was doing it for Stella’s sake, but in fact, he only cared about Sophia.
The Vinci Rivera Group was different from the Jewell family’s business. As one of the top five hundred companies in the world
and a leading company in Hustuabourg, it had gathered top talents. Once Sophia got in there, the people she would be in
contact with would be completely different from the social stratum she used to belong to.
With the prestige she got from the Vinci Rivera Group, she would no longer be just the adopted daughter of the Jewell family.
Instead, she would be regarded as an elite talent.
Whether it was for her future marriage or career, it was a great advancement on the social ladder for her.
Even though Stella was Albert’s biological daughter, he had never done as much for her, and it felt like a thorn was stuck in her
throat, making it hard to swallow. Stella sneered, “How thoughtful of you for making plans for me.”
