Chapter 47
Albert spoke sanctimoniously.
‘Others have lovers because they seek the thrill, but he’s doing it because of his comatose wife. He has
no choice but to look for other women since he can’t satisfy himself. It’s as if his actions can be justified
after he changes the reason. Humans are not animals. What does he mean by biological needs? Or, are
men this shameless in the face of infidelity and shirk the blame to women?’ wondered Stella.
“If your mother was alive and well, I would’ve never gone to find other women. She and I went through
thick and thin together to establish the company. Our relationship can’t possibly be replaced by others.”
‘If he hadn’t hastily wanted to divorce my mother soon after her accident, I would have believed his
nonsense! Besides, would he care if my mother’s dead or alive if I weren’t married to Keegan and still
useful to the Jewell family? He hasn’t divorced my mother only because he’s pinning me down in the
name of taking care of her,‘ Stella thought.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtStella had little emotions on her face.
She merely asked, “What’s that woman’s name?”
Albert froze momentarily. “What her name is doesn’t matter. I won’t see her if you don’t like her.”
He obviously did not want to continue the topic because he quickly changed it and asked, “Did you send
the things I told you to previously?”
Stella pursed her lips and answered.
“Mhm.”
“You came out with Keegan?”
“Nope. With a friend.”
Albert frowned, “You’re a married person; don’t just fool around all day long. You should use the time to
think of a way to impress Keegan instead. You’ve been married for years now, yet you don’t even have a
child. How will you make the Kane family like you?”
Hearing Albert’s words, Stella felt physiologically sick. Every single one of his words reminded her of her
marriage’s nature.
Keegan and I have never been on the same footing. I need to please my husband so that he will protect
the Jewell family. How could Keegan think highly of me when there are ulterior motives behind our
marriage? she thought.
Suddenly, Albert’s phone rang just as he was about to continue lecturing Stella. After he answered his
phone, he turned to her and said, “I got something going on at the company, so I’ll be leaving first. You
should go home soon if you don’t have anything to do. Keegan’s been working all day. You should, at the
very least, make him a hot meal.”
Felicity, who was hiding in the shadows, ran out after Albert left.
“Your dad really is something. He doesn’t care about his daughter but treats his son–in–law like he’s his
biological son… No, he treats him like he’s his biological grandfather! Keegan likes women, but if he
liked men, your father might’ve gone for him himself!” she huffed.
Stella was already used to Albert’s behavior. She then turned to Felicity. “Is the dashcam on?”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“It’s on. Why?”
Stella got in the car and exported the video from the dashcam.
The angle of the video was not good. It only momentarily captured Albert and the woman’s faces. Stella
took a screenshot of the image and stared at it.
Felicity did not know what Stella was thinking.
“Is there a problem?” she asked.
Stella was silent for a moment. Then, she said in a low voice, “That woman who was with Albert just
now; I keep having the feeling that I’ve seen her somewhere before.”
‘Especially when I asked Albert that woman’s name. He was being all secretive when he answered. It
made me even more certain that I wasn’t mistaken,‘ she thought,
“Where have you seen her before?”
Stella shook her head. “I don’t remember.”
