Chapter 1372
Hylda's face turned sour. "Haven’t I been by your side, working hard and contributing to our family all these years,
Albert? Didn't I have Ian assist you behind the scenes when you took on the Northon project? Thanks to me, you
nearly earned a hundred million dollars from your shares in Semiconductor Technology. I didn't even ask for an
equal share of our assets. I'm only asking for fifty million dollars from you. Is that too much?
"You invested eight million dollars in Semiconductor Technology, and Ian lent you another million. It's been over half
a year, and we still haven't seen any returns. Shouldn't you be repaying the capital?"
Semiconductor Technology was a sore topic for Albert. His face turned ugly the moment she mentioned it. "You
sure have the nerve to talk, huh? Do you know how much effort and money I invested when Ian got involved with
the Moore family? Despite not gaining any benefits when he married Irene, I never asked him for anything!

accessories you wore were bought with my money. You never earned a single cent. Yet you're asking me for money
now? I didn't even question you about the guy you've been cheating on me with! You should thank me for not
leaving you with nothing!" Albert continued.
Hylda looked furious. "Thank you? Sure, you supported me financially, but we both know the money came from the
company that you did not work for. I was the one who was scheming and strategizing behind the scenes, enabling
you to take advantage of the Kane family. Do you think you could have earned so much profit on your own?
"Wake the fuck up. Do you know why Rainee wanted to divorce you and kick you out of the company back then? It
was because she knew you were worthless! I can't believe you think that you're somebody just because you have a
little money. You brought in your poor-ass relatives into the company, yet none of them have any skills. Did you
really expect those losers to help your business? Nobody would even know who you are if Stella had not married
Keegan. Do you think you're the shit just because people call you Mr. Jewell?"
Hylda had spent over twenty years with Albert and knew his character well. In the past, she had endured everything
to become Mrs. Jewell. But with those illusions shattered, she did not have to act anymore.
'Albert might be a waste of space in many aspects, but he has an uncanny ability to choose a useful partner. Rainee
was a capable woman who led him to where he is today. Yet, this idiot thinks he achieved everything in life on his
own. What a joke!' thought Hylda.
"Shut your mouth, you bitch!" Albert had never been scolded like this before. He could not help but shout in anger,
his face unsightly.
However, Hylda was not afraid of him at all. Her voice remained cold as she continued, "You know very well what
kind of person you are. Rainee caught you cheating on her and embezzling funds from the company. To avoid going
to jail, you cried in front of me and begged me to come up with a plan. But you were just trying to implicate me into
getting rid of Rainee. Don't think that you're innocent just because you didn't do the deed. The only reason I did
what I did was because I hated Rainee for getting in the way of my life, but what about you? You deliberately sent

"Now that there's a possibility that Stella and Keegan might reconcile, you're acting like you care for her and want
to adopt her. In reality, you killed her mother and tried to get rid of her as well. Do you think Stella would want to be
your daughter after she finds out all of this? Dream on!"
Albert was trembling with anger as he continuously muttered the word "bitch".
Hylda had suppressed her feelings for many years. She instantly felt a sense of relief after letting everything out."
Fifty million dollars, and not a cent less. You have one day to transfer the money to my account, or I will expose the
truth about Rainee's accident to the police. I'm not going to let you off the hook!"
As soon as Albert heard that she was threatening to expose the incident, he panicked and tried to ease histone.
"Hylda, let's talk this out. There's no need to go to the authorities. I swear I never intended to divorce you. I only
wanted the child..." "You can stop with the act.
