Chapter 1372
Hylda's face turned sour. "Haven't | been by your side, working hard and contributing to our family all these years, Albert? Didn't |have lan assist you behind the scenes when you took on the Northon project? Thanks to me, you nearly earned a hundredmillion dollars from your shares in Semiconductor Technology. | didn't even ask for an equal share of our assets. I'm only askingfor fifty million dollars from you. Is that too much?
"You invested eight million dollars in Semiconductor Technology, and lan lent you another million. It's been over half a year, andwe 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 thenerve to talk, huh? Do you know how much effort and money | invested when lan got involved with the Moore family? Despitenot gaining any benefits when he married Irene, | never asked him for anything!
“And you! Don't forget the food and drinks for your social gatherings with those wealthy wives. The clothes and accessories youwore were bought with my money. You never earned a single cent. Yet you're asking me for money now? | didn't even questionyou 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 thatyou did not work for. | was the one who was scheming and strategizing behind the scenes, enabling you to take advantage of theKane 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 becauseshe knew you were worthless! | can't believe you think that you're somebody just because you have a little money. You broughtin your poor-ass relatives into the company, yet none of them have any skills. Did you really expect those losers to help yourbusiness? Nobody would even know who you are if Stella had not married Keegan. Do you think you're the shit just becausepeople 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 becomeMrs. 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 acapable 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 faceunsightly.
However, Hylda was not afraid of him at all. Her voice remained cold as she continued, "You know very well what kind of personyou are. Rainee caught you cheating on her and embezzling funds from the company. To avoid going to jail, you cried in front ofme 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 thatyou're innocent just because you didn't do the deed. The only reason | did what | did was because | hated Rainee for getting inthe way of my life, but what about you? You deliberately sent Walter away and allowed Stella to get in Rainee’s car. You wantedboth of them dead!
“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. Inreality, 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 findsout 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 milliondollars, and not a cent less. You have one day to transfer the money to my account, or | will expose the truth about Rainee'saccident 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 talkthis out. There's no need to go to the authorities. | swear | never intended to divorce you. | only wanted the child..." "You can stopwith the act.novelbin
