Mr. Kane Got Blacklisted by Eleven Jewell

Chapter 1405

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

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."
