Chapter 1232
Stella's heart fluttered when Keegan said that they would be together even after death. "You're such an idiot," she
said after a while.
The next day, news came from Xenia that Albert and Hylda had gotten into a heated argument. In the end, Hylda
was kicked out of the house.
When Albert went to the police station to pick up Hugo, he noticed Hylda's nervous demeanor, which raised his
suspicion. He called Sophia to the hospital and had the two children take a DNA test along with the deceased baby
from the miscarriage. The results showed that only Sophia was Albert's daughter. Hugo was not his biological child.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAlbert was furious and started a physical altercation with Hylda at the hospital. Despite Hylda's defiance, she
refused to reveal the identity of the biological father. This did not please Albert, and it caused him to leave Hylda
and Hugo at the hospital. He then visited Xenia and unloaded everything on her the following day.
"Albert looked like he was afraid of Hylda. I can't believe he hasn't considered divorce yet after that huge fight,"
Xenia noted.
Stella's lips curled into a knowing smile. 'That's because Hylda had leverage over him. He wouldn't dare leave her.
No matter how much she betrayed him, he wouldn't dare to leave her. Even if he wanted a divorce, Hylda would
demand substantial compensation given her character. And, Albert wouldn't want to fork out his money, so...'
"That's fine. Things would be more difficult if he got a divorce," Stella said.
"What should we do next?"
"Hmm... That 'baby' in your belly must mean much more to him now. Get him to give you a proper status. If that
doesn't happen, reel him in and get him to give you financial support. It'll be a good time to strike when he and
Hylda dispute about the money."
It was evident that Hylda was in it for wealth and status rather than love. Now that her status was gone, money
became her top priority.
Stella did not expect that Hylda would keep the identity of her other lover hidden for so long. There's no way a
profit-driven person like her actually likes her secret partner that much. She must be protecting Ian because she
knows that nothing will change Albert's mind anymore. Plus, Hylda would not have to worry about getting support
for Hugo as long as Ian prospers in the Moore family.'
As Stella pondered about the situation, her phone rang. She saw that it was Marshall and answered the call.

"Huh?" Stella responded cautiously. "Why? What's up?"
"I've gathered information about the Hall family mansion. Can we meet up to discuss the findings?"
Stella was about to agree when she recalled Keegan being jealous of Marshall. "Can't we just talk on the phone?"
she asked.
Marshall chuckled. "Sure, but it's easier for you to understand the situation if you have the documents in front of
you."
"It's alright. Just tell me over the phone. I'm sure I'll get it."
