Chapter 219
“The ones made by a different cook will taste different. I remember you used to love them.” Stellapursed her lips and stopped declining. “Thank you, Dad.”
After a moment of silence, Albert spoke. “To be honest, I haven’t been feeling great for the past fewdays. It’s like white truffles. As long as you’re part of the family, it doesn’t matter who eats them.” Hesighed, and his voice was filled with remorse. “I regretted it when I got out of the hospital that day. It’shard for me to apologize as a parent, but the bracelet I gave you was my way of saying sorry. If you’renot happy with it, please let me know. I won’t scold you for it.”
If he had said that a few years ago, Stella might have felt moved by his words.
In the past, before the accident happened, Rainee used to paint a perfect picture of Albert as a father inStella’s mind. So, during those times, Stella still had hope for Albert.
However, after the accident, his cold and ruthless actions destroyed the father-daughter relationship inStella’s heart.
His true colors were selfish and unkind, and whenever he showed “fatherly love”, there was always ahidden agenda.
Stella mocked him inwardly, as she impassively replied, “Forget it. It’s all over. You did that for theJewell family’s sake.”novelbin
“It’s good to know that you see it that way.” Albert breathed a sigh of relief. “One more thing, Sophia isworking at the Vinci Rivera Group now. She’s still new, and there may be a lot of things she doesn’tunderstand. Tell Keegan to look after her.”
Stella’s face suddenly turned gloomy.
“Doesn’t she have a job? Why did she join the Vinci Rivera Group:
“She didn’t have much room for growth before. It just so happened that the Vinci Rivera Group wasrecruiting people a while ago, so I asked her to try it out. I didn’t expect her to make it. Today is her firstday. I thought we could celebrate together. But, since you haven’t been feeling well lately, we can do itanother day.”
Stella felt that it was unbelievable.
She thought to herself, ‘the Vinci Rivera Group has a very high standard. Every year, they recruitmaster’s students as a starting point with very few undergraduates. Even if they do recruitundergraduates, they are from top universities.
‘Sophia went to a third-rate university, which is far from meeting the standard. How could she possiblyget in?
‘And, I got no wind of this. Keegan didn’t mention it either.’
Stella’s face was tense and expressionless as she said, “Keegan doesn’t like me meddling in companyaffairs, so I don’t think I can say much. Since Sophia was able to get in with her own abilities, sheshouldn’t have a problem surviving there. I think you’re worrying too much.”
“How could that be? Keegan would at least take care of her for your sake,” Albert paused and added,“With Sophia in the Vinci Rivera Group, you’ll be able to know right away if there’s
anything going on with Keegan, won’t you?”
In other words, Sophia in the Vinci Rivera Group was like an informant inserted by Albert to help Stellakeep an eye on things and secure her position.
On the surface, it seemed as though Albert was doing it for Stella’s sake, but in fact, he only caredabout Sophia.
The Vinci Rivera Group was different from the Jewell family’s business. As one of the top five hundredcompanies in the world and a leading company in Hustuabourg, it had gathered top talents. OnceSophia got in there, the people she would be in contact with would be completely different from thesocial stratum she used to belong to.
With the prestige she got from the Vinci Rivera Group, she would no longer be just the adopteddaughter of the Jewell family. Instead, she would be regarded as an elite talent.
Whether it was for her future marriage or career, it was a great advancement on the social ladder forher.
Even though Stella was Albert’s biological daughter, he had never done as much for her, and it felt likea thorn was stuck in her throat, making it hard to swallow. Stella sneered, “How thoughtful of you formaking plans for me.”
