    Chapter 1198


    Ste did not expect Hylda to search for clues in Xenia’s phone. Fortunately forthem, Hylda could not


    find anything since Xenia did not save Ste’s number and had deleted their conversations.


    Ste wondered why she would invite Xenia over to the wedding. ‘Is she going to expose Albert for


    having a mistress? But, she’s about to be Mrs. Jewell. It would be quite a p in the face if she


    did that on her wedding day. Or… is she going to expose the child?’


    At that time, Xenia realized that her phone was missing. ‘I must’ve left it in the cab,’ she thought. She


    then started getting anxious about not being able to contact Ste. She was looking for her in the crowd


    when she suddenly heard Albert say, ’Xenia? Why are you here?” His tone was full of surprise. He


    quickly nced around to see if anyone noticed them and frowned. “Didn’t I tell you to stay at home


    and take care of yourself? Why did youe here?”


    Xenia finally saw Ste at that moment and felt relieved when she saw the reassuring look Ste gave


    her.


    She clenched her fists, and her eyes red. Then, she hoarsely said, “Didn’t you promise to break things


    off with her? Yet, what do you two think you’re doing? Were you just lying to me?”


    Albert was in a sticky situation. He had organized the wedding without Xenia’s knowledge since he did


    not want to lose her nor did he want to lose Hylda.


    Before leaving Xenia’s ce, Albert had instructed the bodyguards to keep an eye on Xenia and


    prevent her from leaving the house. ‘Those idiots. Why can’t they just do their job?’ he thought. ‘People


    are going to think that something is wrong when they see this young girl crying in front of me. Ugh.


    Ultimately, Albert had no choice but to coax Xenia. “Why would you say that? You know she’s pregnant.


    This wedding is just a formality. I don’t have any feelings for her anymore, but the child… Don’t worry. I


    promise I’ll divorce her as soon as the baby is born.”


    Xenia was still sobbing. She looked like Rainee the most when she cried, and this made Albert melt.


    “Albert, what are you doing here?” Hylda’s voice came from behind, and it frightened Albert.


    Hylda’s expression turned ugly when she saw Xenia. “Why is she here? It’s my big day today. What are


    you trying to do, Albert?” she asked angrily.


    Albert was at a loss. “I’m not doing anything. It wasn’t me who invited her. Ah, forget it. I’ll have


    someone send her away immediately.”


    “Hey, hey, hey. What’s with all themotion?” Vermont appeared out of nowhere and said. When he


    saw Xenia’s face, he paused for a moment and continued, “This youngdy looks rather familiar.”


    Hearing that, Albert felt guilty. Worried that Vermont would recognize Xenia from helping in Rainee’s


    funeral arrangements, he exined, ‘She’s a distant rtive.”


    Hylda was embarrassed by the situation and remained silent.

    “Oh. What’s your name, miss?” Vermont asked curiously.


    “She is shy, Mr. Snyder. Why don’t you stop with the questions ande have a drink with us?”


    “What? Are you scared that I’ll take a fancy to your rtive?” Vermont chuckled.


    Albert forced augh and pulled Vermont away.


    See? He’s not into you,” Hylda nced at Xenia and said in a deep voice.
