Chapter 421
"Two choices. One, give up on your wealth, and I'll give you some of the company shares. That way,
you won't starve to death. However, you can completely forget about the company and your daughter.
Two, I'll send all these to court, and you'll spend the rest of your life reflecting on your mistakes in jail,"
Albert recalled.
Rainee let him choose between his freedom and his wealth. Albert's forehead began sweating. Then,
he looked at Sophia and Hylda subconsciously after Stella said that.
Hylda got scared, and she heard Albert speaking before she could say anything. "You're lying. You
have nothing on me!" "You think so?"
Stella replied flatly. Then, Albert received hard evidence of Sophia committing charity fraud on his
phone.
"Do you want more?" Stella added calmly, "I have more."

are legally married. You're my first child, and I know what I did is unforgivable to you. But, it was just a
mistake that every man on Earth would commit at some point in his life. I'm still your father, after all. My
love for you has never changed. You'll have no one to depend on if anything bad ever happens to you
in the Kane family after I lost everything. Think about it."
"Dad..." Stella said softly.
Albert thought that she was going to change her mind as he continued, "Stella, just let me know if
you're very bothered by the fact that I stopped funding the welfare center. We can talk this out. After all,
it's something that your mom has always been doing. I feel very bad for doing that too."
"Are you saying that you didn't cheat on my mom on purpose?"
"Your mom and I love each other very much. I'd never make a mistake like that if I wasn't seduced."
Hylda's face turned pale, and Sophia was very surprised to hear what Albert said too. She did not
expect that Albert would choose himself over her.
"Heh-"
Stella's chuckled on the phone, and it sounded a little sarcastic.
"Albert Jewell, you did not disappoint at all. You will really do anything just to protect yourself."
Albert froze and the look on his face turned awful. "Did you lie to me?"
Stella said coldly, "Albert Jewell, do you remember the divorce paper you signed with my mom seven
years ago?"
Her expression changed slightly.
She added, "Either you do as the agreement said, or just wait for the court to summon you."
Stella hung up after saying that.
Albert's expression looked dreadful.
The look on Hylda's face did not very pleasant either.
She was not expecting that the man she tolerated and had been with for more than twenty years would
say something like that right in front of her.

Hylda was one of the many university students Rainee used to sponsor back then. Albert flirted with
her, and he would give her new clothes and take her out.
She was just an inexperienced young girl, and she just could not resist the temptation of a mature man.
So, she succumbed to him very soon after that.
She was just a freshman in university when she had Sophia. She wanted to get an abortion after
knowing that Albert was a married man.
However, Albert stopped her from doing so. He told her that he only married Rainee because of his
personal interests, and he did not love her at all. He also claimed that he would divorce Rainee sooner
or later. So, he convinced her to wait for him and keep the baby.
Hylda was moved by his sweet words, and she believed him. After that, she withdrew from her course
and gave birth to Sophia. Albert treated her very well and did everything she wanted during the year
she was pregnant. However, Albert turned around and left the hospital directly after seeing that the
baby turned out to be a girl.
