Chapter 420
However, there was just nobody who would want to get involved in this mess.
Albert became arrogant, and he upset a lot of his old friends after becoming in-laws with the Kane family. He was no longer in
touch with those true friends he had back then.
However, the new friends he got were either tied by interests or just some profligate acquaintances that could never be
depended on during hardships.
Some of them even ignored his call directly.
Even though he changed his number, they would hang up right after hearing his voice.
A few of them picked up, but they pretended as if they wanted to help while none of them really did.
He was just like a cat on a hot tin roof.
Sophia was crying when Hylda tried to cheer her up. "Albert, stop hitting her. It's not going to change anything now. We should
come up with a solution instead." Hylda said.
'Solution? What do you suggest?"
The look on Albert's face was awful.
His company was greatly affected when after Sophia's real identity was exposed as many people on the internet set off a wave
of boycotting his company's products.
Plenty of his big orders got canceled that evening.
He just invested eighty million in Semiconductor Technology, and he did not have enough money to return the deposit of the
canceled orders anymore.
His company would not hold together for long if things kept going on like that.
Albert was devastated.
Suddenly, his phone rang.
He picked up his phone and saw an incoming call from Stella.
He called her countless times before this, and she did not pick up at all. However, she only gave him a call back after things fell
out.
Albert kept his anger in check as he took a deep breath and accepted the call.
He was still wondering to himself how he should deal with this incident with her before he accepted the call.
However, Stella crushed his last straw of hope as soon as she spoke.
'Albert Jewell, are you enjoying this?" She asked.
Rainee said the exact same thing when she sent an accountant who worked for him and took advantage of the company policy's
loophole to jail while holding all the evidence back then.
Once again, Albert felt extremely uncomfortable.
He felt as though he could see Rainee smiling and staring at him with her cold eyes.
Albert gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice, "What can you gain from doing this? Do you think you can keep yourself out of
this now that Vinci Rivera is involved too?"
"I've never thought of doing that anyway." Stella said calmly, "I've decided to do everything I can to bring you down ever since I
found out that you wanted to give up on my mom, stop funding the welfare center, and did all those disgusting things that you
did.’
Albert got so angry that his body shook. "What do you want from me?!"
’I'll give you two choices. One, pay my mom what she deserves, and I'll keep my mouth shut so that your precious daughter can
live her life in peace from now on. Two, clarify publicly that Sophia's mother forced you to drink, and Sophia Jewell was just a
drunken mistake. That way, I won't expose you for evading taxes. Also, I'll testify for you in court when you divorce my mom, and
you can keep half of your wealth. Pick one. I wonder if you'd put your daughter or yourself first?"
Stella was not very loud, but Albert could hear every single word she said clearly.
"Keep in mind, you can be sent to prison for charity fraud and tax evasion."
Albert's heart skipped a beat.
Stella's words reminded him of what happened seven years ago.
Raine said something similar when she came to his office with those huge sets of evidence before throwing them at him.
