Chapter 829
If Felicity did not observe Stella's face, her soft tone alone was convincing enough that she was moved by Albert's
words.
Albert stuttered when he heard 'publicly announce'.
"H-How do you plan to announce it?" “At least go through proper adoption application procedures, publish it on the
media, and set a will. With all that. I'd at least get a share of the inheritance when you pass away."
Albert's face was a little stiff. He only wanted to use Stella to create connections, not to give her rights to her
inheritance.
"Stella, isn't it too early for us to discuss this? It's not very appropriate if I were to write my will when I'm still quite
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇthealthy. Besides, aren't you making it difficult for me since adults can't go through the adoption application? Don't
worry, even without these two, I will still treat you as my own biological daughter. In the public's eyes, you'd be the
daughter of the Jewell family, my daughter. It doesn't matter if you remarry Keegan or other families. The Jewell
family will always be there for you."
Stella immediately realized the purpose of Albert's call as soon as he mentioned Keegan. Albert, who was self-
serving would never adopt her without a reason. He must have heard the rumors from somewhere. Stella meekly
responded, "How can I trust your words if there's no sincerity behind them?"
Albert frowned, knowing that she was not easy to fool. She would not be convinced if he doesn’t pay a price. "Of
course, I'm sincere about this.
Didn't your grandfather leave a villa that was mortgaged? I've already redeemed the mortgage, and it's currently
under your mother's name. Once you remarry to... another family, I will pass on the property over to you in my will.
Of course, there would be more I will give you once you become my adopted daughter."
Stella tightened her grip as she softly asked, "Will Hylda agree to something as important as a deed transfer? You
won't blame it on me if she had a miscarriage over this matter, will you?"
Albert was flabbergasted. "Miscarriage?" “Isn't Hylda pregnant? Why are you hiding such joyous news?’
Albert's face turned serious as he asked, "Pregnant? Who told you that?"
Stella acted surprised and replied, "Don't you know? My friend personally saw her visiting the gynecologist."
Albert scowled, “Maybe she wasn't ready to tell me." 'He really knows how to cover his own tracks. It's been almost
more than a month since Felicity saw Hylda go for the checkup, yet they need to prepare themselves before telling
each other?1
After knowing about Hylda's pregnancy, Albert was no longer interested in pestering Stella. So, he said, "Stella,
please carefully consider what I've told you. Having a proper status is more beneficial than being without one."

After hanging up the phone, Felicity could not help but ask, "How thick- skinned can Albert be to ask you to be his
adopted daughter? Does he assume that the Jewell family is so well-liked by everybody? How dare he bring up the
property when that adulterous couple forcibly occupied what originally belonged to Ms. Spade? He even dared to
swindle you by saying that you would get it after you remarry. Who are you going to marry?" "Keegan."
Felicity was taken aback, "Are you remarrying Keegan?" "No. Albert must have thought that I was planning to
remarry Keegan. That's why he eagerly wanted to take me in as his adopted daughter."
Samantha had mentioned to Stella that Albert was very stressed out recently. From what she overheard from his
telephone conversation with someone, the company was facing some issues.
