Chapter 220
It was uncertain whether Albert had caught her sarcasm. He spoke gently, “You’re my only daughter, so
everything from the Jewell family will be yours in the future. If Sophia can have a place in the Vinci
Rivera Group, she can help you in your career when I’m no longer around. Everything I do is for your
sake.”
After she hung up the phone, Stella felt that something was wrong. She wondered, “With Sophia’s
qualifications, how did she enter the Vinci Rivera Group?
Stella could not help but suspect that Keegan had given Sophia preferential treatment and opened a
backdoor for her.
‘But, that seems out of character for him, given his dislike for my family members. He has always
maintained a clear distinction between his work and private affairs. Two years ago, when his company
was looking for a project partner, his uncle approached him through Dahlia, wanting to secure the bid.

months, Keegan still refused. He won’t show favoritism to his uncle and not even to his mother. So, why
would Sophia be an exception?” After thinking about it, Stella finally called Aldor.
At that moment, Aldor was reporting to Keegan in his office. Keegan had come to the company early
today.
Aldor had thought of getting some good rest since Keegan took a two-week leave. However, his good
days had ended too soon, and he started to think that he was born to have a tiring life. While he was
feeling sorry for himself, his phone suddenly rang.
Keegan frowned and seemed somewhat displeased.
Aldor was a little embarrassed. After checking his phone, he cleared his throat before he said to Keegan,
“Mr. Kane, it’s your wife. Should I take it?”
Keegan paused for a moment and glanced at his own phone, which was lying next to him. Then, his
eyes darkened. Since Stella left yesterday, she had not even texted him, let alone called.
Stella used to only call Aldor when she failed to reach Keegan. But now, she did not even bother to call
Keegan before contacting Aldor. Obviously, she was not looking for Keegan.
Aldor was well aware of this. Hence, when he saw Keegan’s stern face, he complained inwardly. In fact,
when Keegan suddenly came back from vacation, he could tell that something had happened. Now, it
seemed that, most likely, it was related to his wife.
Now that Stella was trying to reach Aldor directly, Aldor was in a dilemma about whether to answer the
call or not.
The phone kept ringing, and eventually, Keegan scowled at him. “How long are you going to let it ring?”
Aldor cleared his throat and apologized. He then answered the call, and of course, he did not forget to
put the phone on speaker. “Hello”
“Aldor, it’s me,” Stella said. “Has your company hired new recruits recently?”
“Yes. The company did hire new recruits. What’s the matter, Madam?”
Stella frowned as she asked, “Did the company’s hiring standard drop this year?”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“No, it’s the same as it was in previous years. What made you say that?”
Stella pursed her lips before she said, “My dad told me your company hired Sophia. Do her qualifications
meet the hiring standards of Vinci Rivera Group?”
“Are you talking about Sophia Jewell? Well, our marketing department has been short of manpower
recently. They need more people, especially those who can write advertorials on social media and create
short videos. Sophia is an influencer, so we hired her for her expertise in social media and major in
marketing. In addition to Sophia, there are three other influencers who joined our company as new
recruits.”
Stella froze and thought, ‘So, she’s not an exception? But, I’ve never heard Keegan mention this before.
But then again, Keegan has never talked to me about his work.”
“Mr. Kane is right next to me. Would you like to have a word with him?”
Stella was taken aback. ‘Keegan is now at the company? Isn’t he still injured?”
