    Ste clenched her jaw and replied, “Albert.”


    Felicity was outraged. “That piece of trash dared to call you?!”


    “Who knows? It’s bound to be something bad.”


    The phone rang again as she spoke. Felicity replied, “Pick it up. Let’s see what that trash wants.


    Hopefully, he’ll spit out the money that belongs to Rainee.”


    Ste pondered for a moment before she answered the phone. She wondered what made him so


    anxious that he would spam call her.


    “Ste, please don’t hang up,” said Albert as soon as the call patched through. Ste turned on the


    loudspeaker, ced the phone on the table, and started recording. “Albert, I could report you for


    harassment after you pestered us with your non-stop calls.”


    “I only want to discuss something. Nothing more,” said Albert warmly.


    Ste responded irritatingly, “Tch. What else is there between us apart from thewsuit? There is still


    room for discussion if Sophia has passed on the message, and you n to return the money.”


    Albert’s expression froze as he forcefully forced down his displeasure.” Ste, we may not be blood-


    rted, but we’re still father and daughter after bringing you up for so long. I’ve actually been very


    worried about you since thewsuit. How are you?”


    Felicity immediately showed her disgusted face and gestured with her lips, “He has the audacity to say


    something like this?”


    Ste indifferently replied, “Please be straightforward, Mr. Jewell. Stop acting as if you still have any


    fatherly love.”


    Albert’s facade broke. ‘Ste’s mouth is as sharp as her mother’s!’ He suppressed his anger and


    muttered, “Ste, stop thinking of people to such extremes. Sophia said she met you today and you


    were not doing well. I’m very worried about you. If you don’t mind, I’d like you to be my adopted


    daughter. Let bygones be bygones. Since your mother’s passing, I, as your mother’s husband, by right


    should have taken care of you, her own biological daughter.”


    Felicity looked quizzically at Ste. ‘What is going on with this crazy Albert?’


    Ste pursed her lips and said sluggishly, “Will Hylda and Sophia agree if you take me in as an adopted


    daughter?”


    Albert was hopeful. After all, Ste was now a “bastard child” without a record of her biological father.


    She could be an official member of the upper ss once she acknowledged him as her adoptive


    father. Albert felt that it was unlikely that Ste would pass up on this chance to regain her social


    status. Ste would need a certain status to remarry Keegan, so he believed that Keegan would


    support the Jewell family as he did in the past if he adopted Ste.


    “Don’t worry about what they think. Adopting you as my daughter is my decision and has nothing to do


    with them. If you want to, I’ll send someone to reinstate your registration. You will receive the same


    treatment as Sophia moving forward since we’re family after all.”


    Ste’s eyes turned cold, yet she replied in a soft tone, ’Are you sure you want to make me your


    adopted daughter?”


    Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDra/ma.O(r)g!


    Albert could not hide the excitement in his voice. “I was heartbroken when I knew you were not my own


    biological daughter. Blood-rted or not, I’ve already thought of you as my own daughter because I


    raised you.”


    Ste hesitated and said, “Thewsuit before was a little too public. Shouldn’t we publicly announce it if


    you want to take me in as an adopted daughter?”
