    Parental favoritism could be very extreme.


    "Since you think it''s Keegan''s fault, why don''t you bring Sophia to our house and confront Keegan to


    see if I said a single lie to frame her?" Ste said.


    Albert was taken aback and nced at Sophia, whose face had darkened beside him. He began to


    doubt what she had told him. He took a deep breath and said in a soft voice, "HI investigate it."

    "Wait a minute," Ste stopped him and cut to the chase. "Dad, when are you nning to transfer the


    donation to the welfare home?"


    Albert paused for a moment and pursed his lips before he replied, "Thepany''s revenue has


    declined this year, and we can''t support the welfare home anymore. I''ve already contacted the city


    government to see if the welfare home can apply for subsidies."


    Ste''s expression grew solemn. "The funds for the welfare homee from Mom''s share of the


    company''s property. Even if revenue continues to decline, can''t thepany afford a monthly donation


    of a hundred thousand dors? If you can''t manage it, why not consult awyer to transfer Mom''s


    shares to me? I can take on the responsibility of supporting the welfare home each month."


    Albert''s face immediately turned sour upon hearing this. "Your mother’s medical expenses are tens of


    thousands per month, and the cost is nearly tens of millions per year. Do you think our family is as rich


    as the Kane family? Just paying for her medical expenses is already difficult enough for me. How can I


    have spare money to support any welfare home?"


    Ste sneered and thought, ‘He didn''t even mention the transfer of shares. If thepany was in a


    state where it really couldn''t afford to donate the money, he would have quickly passed this hot potato


    to me! The only reason he’s reluctant to give me those shares is because there''s profit.


    Rainee worked so hard to get those incriminating evidence against Albert, and he signed an almost


    clean break agreement. How can I watch him and his bastard child steal thepany''s wealth? If he


    won''t give it to me, fine, I''ll take it myself!’


    Upon seeing Ste remain silent for a while, Albert said, "Ste, your mother''s health is the priority.


    We''re already struggling to take care of ourselves. Do we have the energy to worry about the welfare


    home''s survival? This is a matter for the government to handle. Do ordinary people like us have to


    worry about it? I know you used to volunteer at the welfare home with your mother and have an


    emotional connection with it, but we should consider our own abilities."


    Ste thought to herself, ‘When he got tax exemptions for hispany by donating to the welfare


    home, why didn''t he say that it was the government''s matter? He uses what benefits him and discards


    what doesn''t. How selfish! Why does he have to be my father?"


    When Ste came out of the rooftop, Keegan had already finished tidying up and was in the foyer


    putting on his tie.


    "You''re going out?" Ste asked him, as she thought to herself, ‘It''s already past ten. If Keegan is going


    to work, he wouldn''t go thiste. At this hour, he''ll mostly be in the study working."


    "Yeah," Keegan said tly. "There''s a recruitment talk at Trinity University this afternoon that I need to


    attend."


    "Recruitment talk..." Ste''s expression changed slightly.


    Suddenly, she approached Keegan and took the tie out of his hand, then wrapped it around his neck


    while standing on tiptoes. As she tied the knot, she asked, "Can Ie with you?"


    Keegan looked down at her and asked, "You want to go?"


    "Trinity University is also my alma mater. I haven''t been back in so many years, and I have nothing to


    do today. So, I want to visit the ce," Ste said softly with a gentle voice and her eyshes cast a


    faint shadow on her cheeks. "Take me with you, okay?"
