Chapter 176
But Stella obviously was cuter than Albert. Thinking about the fact that Stella helped earn
more than 30 million dollars, Vermont immediately felt that she was still quite pleasing to the
eye
He was even gifted a box of oysters.
“Albert not only wants to invest in the Northon project, but also in Semiconductor Technology Where’s he
going to get so much money?”
The Jewell family’s trump card could not be more apparent to them than it currently was.
The Jewell family can only be considered a third-rate enterprise in Rivera before Stella married Keegan.
The fact that they were even a third-rate enterprise was thanks to the wife’s guidance
When his wife was met with an accident, he hastily took control of the company and chased away a lot of
key staff. It was a pity that his ambition did not match his capabilities, causing the company to meet its
current plight within two years.
As the turnover rate increased and more orders were delayed, he began to plot against his soon
to-be graduating daughter.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThe Jewell family may not be very wealthy, but they had at least stepped foot into the investment circle.
Someone like Albert, who would only look for profit shamelessly, naturally became a regular at their
business banquet.
To resolve this predicament right before his eyes, he started bringing his daughter to frequent these
events.
Albert and his wife may be average in the looks department, but their daughter was truly
gorgeous.
Beauty and even celebrities were a dime a dozen in the circle. Celebrities may be well-liked by everyone,
but marrying them was another different matter.
When the wealthy married, they emphasized their social status and how mutually beneficial the marriage
was to both families. The bride should, of course, be a virgin.
Stella had perfectly fulfilled these few criteria.
She was beautiful, young, a virgin, and Albert’s only child and daughter. No matter the cost of helping out
with the Jewell family’s immediate predicament, his asset would eventually have to be given to the next
of kin once Albert was gone.
The suitors knocking on the Jewell family’s door came in flocks.
For the sake of acquiring more funds, Albert would not refuse even if the other party was older
than him.
If he had so many funds, did he even need to sell his daughter back then?
Keegan sipped on his tea and flatly said, “If he received the Northon project by selling part of the
company shares, he would easily be able to earn at least a hundred million dollars.”
The Northon project’s share was not small. Though Albert may not have a lot of money, his
familial connections with the Kane family already garnered him a few networks and resources from the
circle these past few years.
All he needed to do was to rope in a few partners and set up a new company to bid for the Northon
project. He will let Henry be the intermediary when the time comes, and the project could be theirs.
Once all was done, Albert could liquidate his shares by selling his shares to the other partners. He won’t
even have to bear any risk from the project.
“He would still have to get a hold of it,” said Vermont, clicking his tongue. “Henry had already lost a lot
from buying the bracelet. If Albert does not fork out the thirty million, will Henry even help him pull

strings, I doubt he would earn a lot from this even if he were to finally receive the profit.”
Having said this much, Vermont paused. “Did your wife use your money to supplement her family?”
Keegan cast a frosty glance at him. “Then why would she even bother letting you earn that thirty million?”
Vermont kept his mouth shut.
‘I’m just making a wild guess. Why the aggression?’
This matter was preceded by prior incidents.
As her favorite grandson, that year, when Keegan and Stella were to be wed, Cordelia gifted a generous
gift to the couple.
Apart from the complete collection of high-end jewelry and a limited-edition sports car, there was also a
PINless bank card worth thirteen million and a hundred forty thousand dollars.
The jewelry and sports car were more valuable, as the card Cordelia gifted the couple should be used as
pocket money.
It was just that the card was bound to Keegan’s phone.
Not long after the wedding, Keegan received a ten million transfer notification when they were
coincidentally together at that time. The beneficiary on the notification was Albert.
