Chapter 185
“Does this bracelet look nice, dad?” The familiar female voice made Stella’s lips tighten in an instant.
Then, a male voice that she had heard since her childhood sounded. “It looks great, honey. Buy it.”
“It’s more than one million dollars…” The girl hesitated, “It’s too expensive. Let’s forget about it. You need money for your project. It’s better that I don’t add to the burden.”
As soon as the girl said that, someone who was beside the man said, “Wow, Mr. Jewell, your daughter is so sensible. She thinks of you when she’s making choices.”
Albert smiled warmly and said, “This child has suffered a lot since her childhood, so she is more sensible and loving than ordinary children.”
“Just buy it for her if she really likes it. It’s not that expensive. Girls like her need to be taken care of. It’s good that she’s been through a lot because she won’t be so easily deceived by bad men in the future,” the man joked.
Albert smiled. Just as he was about to speak, Stella’s cold voice came from beside him, “Are you going to buy it, dad?” Albert froze, only to realize that the person with her back turned to them was actually Stella.
Stella turned around with a smile on her lips, but her eyes were empty.
“Stella, why are you here?” Sophie asked surprisingly. Stella did not look at her, and Sophie bit her lip with an aggrieved expression.
Albert still remembered the coldness in her eyes the day he slapped her in the hospital. He did not expect Stella to show up at the event that night. He would not have been able to control his expression if Hylda had not given him a pinch in the arm.
“Stella, your dad said you were taking care of Keegan at home. We would have picked you up if we knew you were coming,” Hylda said enthusiastically.
Stella’s gaze fell on Hylda. The woman was most likely in her forties. She was not particularly beautiful, but her eyes were very attractive. She also had a good figure, and because she dressed young, she looked like she was still in her thirties.
