So, when Stella stated that the reason behind her father’s success was Hylda’s support, she crossed the line.
Albert's expression turned ugly, and he said coldly, “I don’t need any help. She’s just a female companion for this event.”Hylda’s face turned pale, but the woman had great tolerance and said, “I’m sorry |
overstepped.”
Sophie wanted to say something, but seeing Hylda slightly shaking her head at her, she gritted her teeth and shut up.“Ms. Jewell, do you still want this bracelet?” The salesman in the jewelry exhibition said warmly.
Sophie suppressed her emotions and glanced elsewhere. As if an idea had suddenly popped into her mind, she lowered hergaze and said with a little nostalgia and hesitation, “It’s way over my budget. I'll go look around.”
Just as Stella was about to speak, a sarcastic male voice came from the side. “Ask your sister to buy it for you, then. It’s just alittle more than one million dollars. That's only a few meals for the Kane family. Shouldn’t she take care of you since she marriedinto a wealthy family?”
Stella turned to see the person who spoke and saw a young man in a suit, who was about the same age as her. The man was.handsome, like an idol who had just debuted in the boyband. Stella thought that he looked familiar. After a long stare and somedeep diving into her memories, she recognized the guy as her high school classmate-Kevin Blamer.
Her eyes darkened unconsciously. The sudden appearance of this person reminded her of some unpleasant memories.
Sophie pretended to be nervous. She glanced at Stella in fear and anxiously said in a low voice, “Don’t say that, Kevin. My sisteris very good to me.”
“Good to you? Would she give you the things she no longer wanted if she was that good to you? They adopted you into thefamily and gained fame and fortune because of you. | say she should treat you better,” Kevin sneered.
Kevin's family status was also quite high in Rivera. After he insulted the wife of the infamous Keegan Kane, others continued,“Wait, the adoptive daughter of the Jewell family is the internet celebrity, ‘Soph’s Trove”?”
“Oh! No wonder she looks so familiar. Does that mean Stella is the so-called sister who keeps pushing her away?”
“Yeah. Their family adopted Sophie back then, and it went on the news. The Jewell family made a lot of money from it, but itdidn’t take long before it was revealed that her adoptive
sibling disliked her. She wasn’t doing so good in the Jewell family. But, she turned out great. She graduated from a prestigiousschool, and | heard that she works in a top 100 company. The Jewell family’s biological daughter seems to have graduated fromsome kind of public university, though. The only thing she has is good looks. That’s why Keegan Kane married her.
“Now that you mention it, | remember that we were in the same school. Back then, the news about her excluding her adoptivesister from things went viral. She even beat people up whenever they talked to her about it. Wow, | didn’t expect her to marry intothe Kane family.”
Albert frowned and wanted to say something, but Hylda stopped him. “Think about what Stella did,” she said. Albert paused andpursed his lips.
Stella’s expression was extremely cold. These words no longer hurt her as much as they did back then. They only made herrealize what kind of person Sophie was.
