Chapter 990
"You lied to me, saying you were going to church, yet you came here to abort a baby. How could you make such a
big decision without consulting me first?!"
The image of Xenia's face was embedded in Hylda's mind. When she saw Albert, she felt sick to the stomach and
couldn't help but dry heave.
Ian quickly grabbed a bucket and put it next to the bed. Hylda tried to throw up for a long time, but nothing came
out. Her face was paler than before. Seeing how rough she looked, Albert softened his attitude.
He sat on the edge of the bed and took Hylda's hand, whispering, "Didn't we agree to keep the baby? Why on earth
are you doing this?"
Hylda withdrew her hand with a cold face and asked, "How long have you been with that woman? How many

Albert was a little upset when he heard his child being called a bastard, but Hylda was pregnant and had just bled
earlier, so he patiently explained," She's an intern at the company. I've brought her to a few of the meetings with
clients. One time, I drank too much, and when I woke up the next day... n
Albert did not go on, but everyone understood what happened next. "I felt guilty and wanted to tell you about it
several times, but I didn't know how to start. I thought about firing her but found out that she got pregnant after
only onetime."
Hylda could not take another second of that disgusting explanation, but she suppressed her anger and asked, "So
what if she’s pregnant? Why do you want her baby? Are you going to replace me with her like you replaced Rainee
with me?"
"What are you talking about?" Albert was not happy. 'I didn't want this, Hylda. Heck, I'm older than her father. Do
you think I'm that shameless? She's just a little girl who contacted me in panic when she found out she was
pregnant. I haven't figured out how to handle it yet."
"Do you even need to think about it? Just get her to abort it!" Hylda didn't actually care about how, where, or when
Albert got together with Xenia. All she cared about was the child in that woman's belly. She did not want her
children to divide their inheritance with an outsider.
Albert hesitated, "Hylda, you know that our family is small, and I like children very much. Look, we can give her
some money after she gives birth to the baby and ask her to leave. We'll raise the baby ourselves. Since he will be
around the same age as the baby in your belly, we can tell people you gave birth to twins. No one will suspect a
thing. You'll also have one more son to care for you when you're older."
Hylda was mad at Albert's reply, "Do you think I'm Rainee? Do you think I want to raise my child and someone else's
for you? I already have children and can simply give birth to more if I want to. Why would I want to care for a
bastard? Hurry up and deal with that woman. If you don't, I will do it. I can assure you I won't be compassionate."

"Why would you come for an abortion if you can have a baby?" Albert was running out of patience. "I know you
don't want to give me a son. Do you think I'm dumb?"
'It's all Hylda’s fault. She stopped having sex with me. I wouldn’t have to have sex with other women if that weren't
the case!' Albert thought.
Hylda was furious, "Do you know how old I am? I'm at an advanced maternal age. Have you considered my safety?
We already have Sophia and Hugo. Aren't they enough?"
"What's the point of having a daughter? They just leave with other men when they get older. How can I let my
daughter inherit such a big family business? Hugo... Hugo is an enigma. He's seven years old, yet he can't even
utter a complete sentence. Do you know what people say about that behind my back? They say he's retarded!"
Albert said angrily. "How am I going to continue the Jewell family lineage if there's actually something wrong with
him and I don't have any more children?"
Stella and Keegan heard those words loud and clear from outside the hospital room. 'They say that cells regenerate
every seven years, yet Albert has not changed at all over the years.'
