Chapter 580
"Mom, why are you only taking out such an important thing now?!"
Sophia had been a little resentful since she came out of the courtroom.
'All these years, I've always been hiding because of my identity. I've even lost my dream job because I'm an illegitimate daughter.
In the end, I found out that Stella is the one who isn't Albert's biological daughter. If they had said this earlier, I wouldn't have lost
my job! Stella had been occupying my position and even constantly bossed me around. How infuriating!’ she thought.
"If we had taken this out sooner, how would we make use of her?"
Hylda glared at Sophia in annoyance.
Whether or not Stella's an illegitimate daughter, Sophia's identity cannot be revealed. However, exposing Stella's identity after
Sophia's is advantageous to us. Everyone focuses on that divorcee-Stella's-true identity. Nobody will care about Sophia
anymore. Besides, Stella will be busy for a while after this sudden expose. Be it the lawsuit or investigating the incident back
then, she's now completely occupied. This can be described as killing multiple birds with one stone,' thought Hylda.
However, Sophia still felt displeased.
'Back when I was revealed as an illegitimate daughter, the netizens verbally abused me. Why does Stella have it this easy?' she
thought. She pursed her lips. Then, she took out her phone and opened Facebook.
"I can't open this," the little boy beside Hylda handed her the snack he was holding. Hylda pushed his hand away.
"Be good. Ask your sister to help you open it," she said.
Then, she said to Albert, "Albert, some of the press might come over to interview us in the next few days. So don't forget to say
what you said in court when the time comes. Stella's the one who had wronged you, not the other way round."
Albert frowned, "Can't we just refuse to be interviewed?"
Hylda knew Albert was giving in again after hearing his words. She said lowly, "Albert, Stella didn't go easy on us when dealing
with us. If you don't finish her off, we ll suffer once she recovers! She's not even your biological daughter; don't you feel
aggrieved after all these years?"
Albert clenched his fists, "She and Keegan are already divorced, so she can't make any waves. If we go overboard, it'll
disadvantage us if others hear about it."
Hylda twitched the corner of her lips.
'Back when we tampered with the car, we only wanted to get rid of Rainee. Did he forget how he sent the driver away and made
Stella enter that car? Why is he acting like a loving father right now?' she thought.
Hylda said patiently, "Albert, I know you're soft-hearted, but you can't be soft-hearted in this matter. We've still got the money we
invested in Semiconductor Technology. Its gains today are really good. Let's seize the moment and sell off the rest. I've been
feeling uneasy."
Semiconductor Technology launched last Friday and soared sixty points the day it launched. Albert earned 40 to 50 million
dollars in a day, so he immediately dumped two-thirds of it.
He initially planned to dump all of it, but he heard too many positive things about Semiconductor Technology. The investment
group chats he was in talked about it daily. Many people were kicking themselves for being unable to buy any. The trading
veterans in the group chat that traded stocks all year round predicted Semiconductor Technology would rise at least ten times.
Albert was skeptical then, but its shares rose twenty points and limited up the moment it opened. He instantly regretted his
actions. Now that he heard Hylda telling him to dump the shares he had, he immediately had a displeased expression.
'If it weren't for Hylda nagging at me every day, saying that Stella won't let me take advantage of her after she's divorced
Keegan, causing me to sell off my stocks the moment it opened, my stocks could've risen another 20 million!' he thought.
"Albert, it's only tangible if you have the money in hand. Being greedy is risky..."
"Alright," Albert cut her off and looked a little impatient.
He continued, "I know what I'm doing; you just need to take care of what's happening at home."
Just as Hylda wanted to continue talking, Albert said, "Stop at the junction ahead. Take the kids home; I'm going to the office."
Hylda said, "Let Sophia and Hugo take a cab home; I'll go to the office with you."a
