Chapter 1305
A shiver ran down Hylda's spine. She took a deep breath and steadied her voice, "Walter, your request is too
sudden. I truly don't have that much money at the moment. Could you perhaps give me a little more time to-"
"My condition can't wait. I'll give you three days at most. If you don't transfer the money on time, don't be surprised
when I seek Ms. Jewell's help."
After ending the call, Hylda's face turned unprecedently gloomy. 'I knew I should have cleaned things up back then!'
"Mom?" Sophia's voice came from behind.
Hylda was startled. She sighed in relief when she turned around and saw that it was Sophia.
"Mom, who were you talking to on the phone? Why did you get out of the car?"
"It's no one important," Hylda said with a frown. "Is your father home?"
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAnnoyed, Sophia said, "Haven't I told you already? He's been spending time at that whore's place and taking care of
her."
"Drive me there."
Sophia blinked in surprise. "Where?"
Hylda opened the car door with a serious look on her face and said, "Drive me to your father."
Throughout the ride, Hylda's brows remained furrowed. She was worried that Albert would discover the truth
behind Rainee's miscarriage.
Back then, Albert had bribed doctors at a private hospital to learn the gender of the child in advance. It was a boy.
Sophia was only four years old at the time, and Hylda was in her early twenties. She lacked education and practical
skills. Albert was her sole reliance.
However, his demeanor shifted the moment he knew Rainee was having a boy. He started prioritizing his family and
accompanied Rainee to her medical appointments. He also gradually distanced himself from Hylda.
Hylda could not fathom how he would treat her once the child was born. She could not manage as a single mother.
So, she teamed up with Walter to kill Albert's first son.
Albert eagerly anticipated the baby's arrival and was devastated to find out he was stillborn. It was then that the
conflict between Albert and Rainee grew each and every day.
If Albert discovered that Hylda had intentionally caused the child's death, he would not let her off easily. Walter was
aware of Albert's attachment to having a son and exploited this knowledge to extract benefits from Hylda over the
years.
With the kindergarten's earnings and her monthly allowance from Albert, Hylda managed fairly well. Now that both
her incomes were gone, she had no choice but to pull on Albert's heartstrings.
Soon, the doorbell to Xenia's residence rang.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmXenia stood up and peered through the peephole. Upon seeing Hylda, she immediately called for Albert.
Albert's expression turned sour as soon as he heard that it was Hylda. 'Is this maniac here to harm my son?’ With
that thought, he urged Xenia to go back into her room.
Xenia pouted and said, "This is my house. I don't think she would dare do anything to me. Besides, you're here."
Albert had no choice but to comply. The only thing that mattered most to him was to have a son.
Hylda waited outside for a long while before someone answered the door.
Albert stood there with a dark face, clearly not pleased to see her.
Hylda began to cry and said, "Honey..."
"Don't call me that!" Albert's face tensed. "Why are you here? Are you trying to get rid of the baby in Xenia's belly
again?"
Seeing that her act was not working on Albert, Hylda decided to dive right into the topic. "I'm here to talk to you,"
she said with a stern face.
Albert blocked the doorway, refusing to let her in.
"What's there for us to talk about?"
