Chapter 1205
Hylda’s body stiffened, and she subconsciously gripped the bedsheets tightly. Unaware of her beingtense, Albert turned away, as he was still reeling from the loss of his son. He had no interest inwatching the surveillance footage and politely declined Olivia’s offer. “That’s alright, Mrs. Chapman.Thank you for coming, and sorry for the trouble.”
Olivia smiled reassuringly and said, “It’s no trouble at all, Mr. Jewell. I just want to make sure thateverything is clear so there are no future complications for my business. It’s better to address thesematters directly than to deal with misunderstandings later. Do contact me if you need anything, Mr.Jewell.”
Albert, being a businessman himself, understood Olivia’s perspective and did not doubt her intentions.On the other hand, Hylda glared at Olivia angrily, as she was unhappy about her interference.
Sophia furrowed her brow and said, “I think this is the wrong time to discuss this, Mrs. Chapman. Mymom just had a miscarriage and is still recovering.”
Surprised by the news of Hylda’s miscarriage, Olivia exclaimed, “Oh my! I’m sorry to hearthat.”
Sophia expected her to leave after expressing her concern. But, to Sophia’s dismay, Olivia continued,“Then, that’s all the more reason to investigate and clarify what happened. We cannot let this incidentgo unaddressed.”
Sophia was at a loss for words. ‘Is Mrs. Chapman intentionally stirring up trouble?’
Upon hearing that, Albert felt an overwhelming anger welling up, as he recalled that he had lost a son.He was determined to find out who harmed his child. “Thank you, Mrs. Chapman,” he said.
“It’s no problem. I want to clear my name as well,” replied Olivia as she pulled out her phone andplayed the surveillance video.
Hylda clenched her fists, thinking that there was no point in trying to keep things a secret any longer.‘What’s the worst that could happen? The baby in that bitch’s belly isn’t going to survive anyway.’
After a few minutes, Albert roared, “It was you!”
Sophia’s heart trembled, and she cursed Olivia in her heart. Ian, on the other hand, remained silentwith a tense expression.
Meanwhile, Hylda was composed. She looked up and responded in a cold tone, “She was the one whostarted making disrespectful remarks to me! Who does she think she is? Who gave her the audacity toprovoke me on my wedding day?”
As she said that, she looked at Albert with tears in her eyes and continued, “You promised me that youwould handle this situation, but look at what happened. You impregnated her and allowed her to ruinour wedding!”
Albert had a lot on his mind but was momentarily speechless after being exposed by Hylda. He hadassured her that he would deal with Xenia if she promised to keep the child. He even offered her asmall share of his business to pacify her. Hylda had agreed to the deal and appeared unaware ofXenia’s impending visit. ‘Did Xenia deliberately show up to provoke Hylda?1 Albert thought.
Olivia glanced at Albert, who was thrown off by Hylda’s words. Then, she calmly stated, “You couldhave simply dismissed the girl if you didnt want her there, Mrs. Jewell. There was no need to resort toviolence. Given your condition, weren’t you concerned about harming the child in your womb?”
She was trying to imply that Hylda did not really care for the baby since she engaged in a physicalaltercation over a few taunts from someone else.novelbin
Albert might not be the brightest person in the room, but when it came to matters concerning his child,he was extremely quick-witted. Olivia’s words instantly reminded him of Hylda’s previous attempt toabort the child behind his back.
‘Hylda did not want this child since the beginning. She didn’t even seem as excited about giving birth.When she was pregnant with Hugo, she panicked and contemplated calling the ambulance after aminor fall in the bathroom. This time, however, her immediate reaction was to blame Xenia for pushingher over the railing…’
Albert’s lips tightened as he locked eyes with Hylda, and his anger intensified. Hylda felt a suddenwave of panic and said, “What are you insinuating, Mrs. Chapman? Are you saying that I purposely gotrid of my own child and framed that woman for it?”
