Chapter 1347

The mention of kids struck a chord with Albert. He still had an unborn son that he had been eagerly waiting for half

his life.

What if Walter actually goes to the cops and says something that leads to a reevaluation of the case? What will

happen to my son if I get taken away? What about my lifelong family legacy?' While thinking about being locked up

in jail, Albert was reminded of his youth days in the detention center for some shady dealings. The nightmare of

those days sent a shiver down his spine.

Albert's face turned pale. He clenched his teeth and asked," How much does he want?"

"Five million dollars," Hylda replied in a deep voice.

"Five million dollars?" Albert raised the tone of his voice." What kind of illness does he have that requires so much

money?"

Why bother getting treatment when it costs five million dollars?' he thought, as his face darkened.

Albert was still waiting for the 50 million dollars he had extorted from Keegan. There was no way for him to transfer

a large sum of money into his domestic account without a legitimate source. So, he hired a foreign company to

help him launder the money through unconventional means. He thought that it would be a walk in the park. But it

had been around two to three months, and the money still had not come through.

Albert did not have many liquid assets left, and converting his other assets such as company shares and properties

into cash was not quick or easy. Moreover, he was not keen on selling off his real estate holdings. Hence, five million

dollars was not a small amount for him.

At the same time, Albert did not want to fork out that kind of money, even if he had it.

"It's the number I was able to get after negotiating with him. It's a good deal, Albert. Five million dollars in exchange

for our family's safety. The consequences could be catastrophic if we don't give it to him. Think of it as spending

your money to keep disaster at bay," Hylda murmured.

Albert's expression remained tense. "The evidence from that accident was cleaned up ages ago. How will the police

reopen the case if he goes to them without any proof?"

'This fool is proving to be a tough nut to crack when it comes to money,' thought Hylda.

"The police might not believe his story, but Stella will. She'll hound us like a rabid dog if he goes to her. She married

Keegan because you promised to help her keep Rainee alive. Based on Stella's relationship with her, she'll never let

us off once she knows that the car accident was not an accident at all."

As soon as Stella's name came up, Albert's complexion shifted. "It's been years since that incident, and the vehicle

involved has long been scrapped and disposed of. There's no evidence left. Even if she does get wind of it, what can

she possibly do?" He said in a stern voice.

Hylda was getting antsy. If Albert did not cough up the money, she would have to bear the consequences herself.

Feeling desperate, she gritted her teeth and said, "How do you think the case was resolved so smoothly back then?

Do you really think we executed everything perfectly? If it weren't forthat taxi-"

The recording suddenly cut off and was replaced by the sound of electronic interference.

Stella furrowed her brow and quickly dialed Xenia's number. "Did you not send me the full audio? The last part

seems to be cut off."

"There was some signal interference, and the listening device malfunctioned. So, the rest wasn't recorded," Xenia

responded.

Stella's expression darkened. It was frustrating to know that the most crucial part of the conversation was not

recorded.' What was Hylda about to say next? And what was the reason behind the case being closed so easily?'

she thought.
