Chapter 827
Albert frowned. "What nonsense are you spouting?"
Sophia coldly harrumphed, 'That respectful daughter of yours not only got back together with Keegan after the
divorce, but she also hooked onto the Saun family's sole heir. She even wanted me to tell you to return her
mother's dowry and the Kane family's betrothal gift. She will find a time to pick it up, and she will sue if you don't
give it back."
Albert's expression turned grotesque, gritting his teeth as he said, "Why is she biting the hand that fed her now?"
Having been humiliated by the slap along with the addition of Hylda's presence, Sophia sarcastically whispered,
"Why wouldn't she dare? Anyone would hate you to the core if you divorced their mother immediately after she
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtturned vegetative.'
Hylda frowned and shouted, "Shut up!"
Sophia stopped speaking even though she was unhappy about it. Hylda continued, "She's really funny. Who is she to
want us to return the betrothal gift when she is already divorced? Only the Kanes have the right to ask for the gift
to be returned. As for the dowry, did she honestly think that Rainee left her with a lot of money when Rainee's
hospital bills already cost so much?"
Albert naturally would not bring out the money since he couldn't fork out any.
His funds had shrunk from buying the shares for Semiconductor Technology, and a lot of major long-term
customers left due to Stella and Keegan's divorce. It shrank more than half of the business's turnover compared to
the first quarter. Some from the management level had already started to lose their confidence and privately sold
off their shares.
He might face the possibility of bankruptcy if he did not get more sales and bring in more cash flow.
He did not dare to even tell Hylda about these since she had warned him about being greedy when they were just
starting to see returns. His avarice caused him to lose most of his funds when he bought Semiconductor
Technologies.
He did not have the courage to tell Hylda about this and was afraid that she would scorn him for acting on his own.
He should not have soured their relationship earlier on. The company's turnover could easily breach the hundred
million mark with Stella's support.
He had no idea that Stella could still hang onto Keegan even after the divorce. Only with Keegan's help would the
company be able to tide over its current predicament. This was his chance since Stella and Keegan were together
once again.
After she finished her meal, Stella went back home to take a shower. Felicity called out to her the moment she
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmcame out of the bathroom." Stella, your phone has been ringing for some time. I didn't dare to pick it up since it
was an unknown number."
Stella acknowledged that and went to pick up her phone when the number called again. She then picked up the call.
"Stella, it's me."
The moment Albert opened his mouth, Stella hung up the phone and blacklisted his number. Felicity saw her
decisively hanging up the phone, so she asked, "Is it a promoter?"
"Yes."
'Why does that whole disgusting family have to appear consecutively? First, it was that gut-wrenching Sophia, and
now it's Albert who called.*
Albert did not give up and changed a few numbers within the hour just to get through to Stella. Even someone like
Felicity who was slow to realize could feel that something was off. "Who called?"
