Chapter 1304
Once Stella put on the dress, she emanated the aura of an elegant and refined lady. She looked at herself in the mirror for some time and suddenly said, “This dress makes my butt look big.”
Everyone was left speechless.
“Can you just be quiet for a moment so I can admire your appearance?” said Felicity.
Meanwhile, Hylda looked ashen as she stepped out of the police station. Sophia’s car was waiting not far away. When Hylda entered the car, Sophia asked urgently, “How did it go, Mom?”
Hylda’s expression was strained, “They said they have to wait for all the children’s medical results before making a decision. The school has been ordered not to stay closed, and we can’t work in the education industry anymore.”
“And Auntie Lydia?”
“Things wouldn’t have turned out like this if she wasn’t greedy for the money. She deserves to be locked up,” said Hylda.
Sophia fell silent. After a while, she whispered, “Mom, did you know Stella donated the land and house? She never intended to keep it. She wanted it back just to make our lives difficult.”
Hylda frowned as she replayed the recent events in her mind. “What’s her end game? Why does she keep targeting me?” She murmured. Something flickered in her mind, but before she could grasp the idea, her phone rang and disrupted her thoughts.
Hylda found it weird that someone was calling her since only a few people knew this number. She answered the call and asked, “Who is this?”
“Congratulations on getting your wish, Mrs. Jewell,” a hoarse voice sounded from the other end of the phone, followed by a few coughs.
Hylda froze upon hearing that voice. She promptly opened the car door and stepped outside to continue the conversation.
Sophia was taken aback by Hylda’s behavior. ‘Who’s on the other line? Why is Mom being so secretive?’ She thought.
Hylda moved to a quiet spot before speaking again, “You didn’t call just to congratulate me, did you?”
