Chapter 1387
Chapter 1387"Do you know how Rainee got into a car crash back then?" Xenia asked in a hushed tone.Sophia froze and frowned. "Bad luck? Karma? Who cares? All | know is that have nothing to do with it."
“Maybe not, but your family does," Xenia said in disdain. She paused for effect and continued in a mysterious manner, "Ioverheard Mr. Jewell and your mother arguing on the phone a few days ago. It turns out that they had a role in Rainee’saccident."
Sophia's heart sank. She pressed the knife harder against Xenia and said, "Do you really expect me to believe that?"
The wound from earlier deepened, and blood trickled down Xenia's neck. Her lips were pale, but she pushed through the painand said, "| stumbled upon this detail by accident. Your mother paid a visit a few days ago, looking for Mr. Jewell. | thought shewas trying to convince him not to divorce her, so | secretly followed them. That was when | overheard the truth. It wasn't a mereaccident that caused Rainee’s death. Your mother had tampered with her car all those years ago. I've recorded everything. | canplay it for you if you don't believe me."
Sophia's face turned ashen. She would have dismissed Xenia's words in the past. But, knowing that Hylda was currently runningfrom the police for murder, Sophia could not help but think that it was possible.
Xenia saw Sophia's softened expression and asked, Do you want to hear the recording? | have it on my phone."
"You faked your pregnancy and tore my parents’ marriage apart. And now you're telling me this? What's your game?" Sophiasnapped back with a cold look.
Xenia bore the pain and said, "The pregnancy was misdiagnosed. But Mr. Jewell was thrilled and wanted me to have the baby.He even promised to marry me someday. So, | went along with it. After what happened at the wedding, | thought he woulddivorce your mother and marry me. Yet, he didn't. He only wanted the child. It's been a few months, and | can't keep up with thislie anymore. | just want some money and leave this place. | know Albert wouldn't give me a dime. That's why I'm asking for yourhelp.
“Albert conspired with your mother to kill Rainee. If the authorities reopen this case, neither of them would get away. The entireJewell estate will be yours once they get convicted," she added.
Sophia's hand trembled, as her heart pounded fiercely.
‘The entire Jewell estate could be mine. I've never thought of that before. Mom had said that Dad would never willingly hand overhis assets to me. The fact that he was willing to give me a small percentage of his shares was a miracle. This bitch is ontosomething. I'm Albert's only flesh and blood; his only legal heir. His fortune would be mine if something happened to him,’ shethought.
However, another voice soon emerged in her mind. ‘But, he's my father. Should | really do this?"novelbin
Xenia noticed her uncertainty and tried to add fuel to the fire. "Actually, Albert had the money when your mother asked him for it.He just didn't want to give it to her. He talked about how he had raised you and wanted you to repay him. | lost all hope that he'dgive me any money when | heard that."
Sophia's wavering expression turned dark after knowing that piece of information. She was reminded of what Albert had saidearlier. He not only refused to return her money, but he also berated her. She was on the verge of insanity, yet he remainedindifferent.
