Hylda had been with Albert for so many years without the status of being his wife. Although she was Mrs. Jewell now, she stillbears the infamy.
Albert was stupid and was not as manipulative as Hylda. How could she remain loyal to Albert? She was so deliberate. Ofcourse, it was for her status and children. Albert was old with a patriarchal attitude and had a strong concept of heirs. Hylda birthhim a son and a daughter. After he died, the property of the Jewell family would naturally belong to these two children. She waspaving the way for her children.

Forbearance for more than 20 years and sent her daughter to the Jewell family to let the legal wife help raiseher. Then, she got a toy boy, pretended he was her younger cousin, and made him the lover of the richest woman in Rivera topave the way for her children. None of the mistresses he had met was as manipulative as her, but...
‘Why did the fake lan allow himself to be dictated to her?’
‘Either Hylda has the goods on him.’ Keegan pursed his lips, "Or they share the same goal."
’Goal?" Vermont was smart. He figured it out immediately, "Are you saying that the biological dad of Hylda's children is lan?"Keegan said, "It's just a guess. I'll tell you after verification."novelbin
’Are you going to debunk lan's identity after you verify?" Vermont was a little excited.
’No." Keegan said flatly, "Wouldn't it be more pleasant for Albert to find out himself?"
Compared with Hylda, Stella should hate Albert the most. He was the cause of Rainee's tragic life and the main culprit whopushed Stella to the breaking point after she divorced. It would have been too lenient if he had been punished easily.
With a tsk sound, Vermont said, "You're ruthless, but I'm quite looking forward to it. | just feel pity for Aunt Irene. She finally founda husband, but he just wants her money."
When Irene had been mentioned, one naturally thought of Marshall.“Have you seen Marshall these two days?"
Keegan's face darkened instantly, and he said coldly, "No."
Without noticing it, Vermont continued, "| went to the law firm to give him something before | came to you today. Marshall was hiton the head with a teacup by his grandpa. The injury is at the corner of his left forehead and is at least three centimeters long.Mr. Frederick Moore must be in his eighties. Why can't he control himself from attacking others? Marshall is no longer a child.How could he hurt Marshall's face this way?”
Keegan was taken aback for a moment. He asked, "How is he?"
“What can he do? What a poor kid. Marshall is the most obedient one among us, right? So why is Mr. Moore still dissatisfied? Hewas punished by standing when he was a few minutes late coming home during his childhood. He was also punished at home ifhe fought back at school when bullied. | would have gone crazy if | were born into that kind of family.”
Vermont was the most empathetic and slick person among these wealthy young men. He has had good social skills since hewas a child. He knew how to be flexible and say the right thing in different situations to different people. The elders were fond ofVermont despite him being isolated by some mischievous students at Rivera after his transfer because he was honey-tonguedand knew how to please others well. Most elders liked this kind of kid who had honey-tongued and greeted people politely.
However, Mr. Moore was an exception. Vermont went to Marshall's house with Keegan when he was young. The first time hemet Mr. Moore, he called Mr. Moore grandpa by following Marshall and Keegan with his honey- tongued.
Mr. Moore responded and turned to bring them candy. He gave Keegan imported chocolate, but Vermont received a low-costcandy. However, Keegan pretended he did not like it and gave him the chocolate.
