Stella could not help but laugh upon hearing Sophia’s claims. “Oh dear. Do you think I want to be associated with a family of murderers? You should probably keep your family in order.”
Having said that, Stella paid no further attention to Sophia and headed straight into the police station. Sophia clenched her teeth in anger and followed suit.
When the two groups of visitors arrived, the police asked Albert whom he’d like to see first. Sophia was convinced that Albert would want to see her. After all, she was now the sole remaining member of the Jewell family. ‘Even if Dad doesn’t want to entrust all his assets to me, he would still require my assistance in clearing his name,’ she thought.
However, that was not the case. The police soon informed them that Albert had explicitly requested to see Stella.
Stella was not the least bit surprised. A considerable amount of Albert’s wealth was invested in Semiconductor Technology. His company was already running at a loss, and Sophia would receive nothing more than an empty shell. Sophia might even be burdened with Albert’s debts once his charges were confirmed.
Albert was keenly aware of this, which was why he needed to see Stella first. After all, she still maintained an intimate connection with Keegan. As long as Keegan stepped in, there was still a glimmer of hope for him.
Stella was sitting in the visiting room, patiently waiting, when the door creaked open, and the police escorted in Albert.
Upon seeing Stella, he became visibly agitated and attempted to rush over. The officers firmly held his shoulders and guided him to the chair per protocol.
Since Albert had not been formally charged yet, the visiting room had no thick glass partition. He still seemed somewhat decent, but he had lost some weight, and his hair had turned gray.
