Chapter 191
“You really misunderstood, Mr. Snyder. They're both my daughters, so | naturally won't side with any one of them. When Stellagot married, money was tight for me, so her dowry seemed a little meager. The car Sophia drove is mine. She went to pick it upfor me. In the future, she'll drive the old car. After all, she'll need a car as a mode of transportation to go to work.”novelbin
Vermont raised a brow. “Is that so? Since you are now well-off, you should compensate your daughter’s dowry. Otherwise, howembarrassing would it be if others heard about this?”
His flattery put Albert on the spot.‘Doesn't he have a public persona of loving women? He'll have to demonstrate it somehow, right?’ wondered Vermont.
Albert's expression stiffened, as he was resentful and furious. However, he suppressed his emotions and said with a smile, “Ofcourse. I'll prepare it when | get home.”
Suddenly, Keegan peered at the bracelet Stella was looking at earlier on. Then, he said coolly,” The color of this bracelet is notbad.”
Vermont immediately took the hint.“Mr. Jewell, if you ask me, you shouldn't even wait till you get home. This bracelet is pretty good,” said Vermont.Albert was so shocked he almost coughed out blood.
‘If | prepare the dowry at home, nobody will know what I’ve prepared. If | prepare it here, then. it'll surely leave a dent in mywallet. They set me up, but | still need to jump in even when | know it’s a trap,’ he thought.
“Earlier, | heard you wanted to buy it for your younger daughter. Are you not willing to do it now that you're buying it for your elderdaughter?”
Vermont really knew where to hit someone where it hurt.
Albert swallowed and forced a smile. “That's not true.”
He said to the salesperson. “Pack up this bracelet for me.”
Then, he looked at Stella with a loving smile and said, “I'll only feel at ease when you're living well.”Stella sighed internally.
‘Albert will probably hate my guts after this incident. It isn’t easy for him to put on a loving father and daughter show with me rightnow,’ she thought.
She lowered her gaze and obediently accepted his attempt to extricate her from the situation.
“Thank you, dad.”
Then, she subconsciously looked at Sophia. Sophia did not even bother hiding the envious and malicious look in her eyes.Stella smiled and gently said, “But, | took away what Sophia wanted. She might feel a little unhappy.”
Sophia did not expect Stella to say such a thing at that moment, so everyone immediately looked at her after hearing Stella’swords.
Sophia did not manage to change the expression on her face in time. Naturally, many saw it.
She bowed her head in panic and said in a low voice, “Don’t say that, Stella. You’ve already given me such expensive jewelryand treated me like your own sister. So, a bracelet is nothing. I’m happy as long as you like it.”
Stella smiled slightly and replied, “I’m glad to hear that. We can’t let a bracelet ruin our relationship as sisters.”
Sophia wanted to scratch Stella on the face. However, in reality, she could only swallow her anger and answer, “It’s enough if youdon’t blame me.”
Kevin could not bear to listen any further and had left somewhere along the way.Stella felt a little disappointed.‘I should've let him see how his goddess’ public persona came crashing down. Why did he leave ahead of it?’ she thought.
Stella finished her performance and even got a bracelet for nothing. So, she was in a great mood. She even found Keegan notas much of an eyesore.
She smiled with her eyes and asked Keegan, “There are some cufflinks here. Pick a pair. I'll buy them for you.”
