    Chapter 1232


    Ste’s heart fluttered when Keegan said that they would be together even after death. “You’re such an


    idiot,” she said after a while.


    The next day, news came from Xenia that Albert and Hylda had gotten into a heated argument. In the


    end, Hylda was kicked out of the house.


    When Albert went to the police station to pick up Hugo, he noticed Hylda’s nervous demeanor, which


    raised his suspicion. He called Sophia to the hospital and had the two children take a DNA test along


    with the deceased baby from the miscarriage. The results showed that only Sophia was Albert’s


    daughter. Hugo was not his biological child.


    Albert was furious and started a physical altercation with Hylda at the hospital. Despite Hylda’s


    defiance, she refused to reveal the identity of the biological father. This did not please Albert, and it


    caused him to leave Hylda and Hugo at the hospital. He then visited Xenia and unloaded everything on


    her the following day.


    “Albert looked like he was afraid of Hylda. I can’t believe he hasn’t considered divorce yet after that


    huge fight,” Xenia noted.


    Ste’s lips curled into a knowing smile. ‘That’s because Hylda had leverage over him. He wouldn’t


    dare leave her. No matter how much she betrayed him, he wouldn’t dare to leave her. Even if he


    wanted a divorce, Hylda would demand substantialpensation given her character. And, Albert


    wouldn’t want to fork out his money, so…’


    “That’s fine. Things would be more difficult if he got a divorce,” Ste said.


    “What should we do next?”


    “Hmm… That ‘baby’ in your belly must mean much more to him now. Get him to give you a proper


    status. If that doesn’t happen, reel him in and get him to give you financial support. It’ll be a good time


    to strike when he and Hylda dispute about the money.”


    It was evident that Hylda was in it for wealth and status rather than love. Now that her status was gone,


    money became her top priority.


    Ste did not expect that Hylda would keep the identity of her other lover hidden for so long. There’s no


    way a profit-driven person like her actually likes her secret partner that much. She must be protecting


    Ian because she knows that nothing will change Albert’s mind anymore. Plus, Hylda would not have to


    worry about getting support for Hugo as long as Ian prospers in the Moore family.’


    As Ste pondered about the situation, her phone rang. She saw that it was Marshall and answered the


    call.


    “Ste, are you free these days?”

    “Huh?” Ste responded cautiously. “Why? What’s up?”


    “I’ve gathered information about the Hall family mansion. Can we meet up to discuss the findings?”


    Ste was about to agree when she recalled Keegan being jealous of Marshall. “Can’t we just talk on


    the phone?” she asked.


    Marshall chuckled. “Sure, but it’s easier for you to understand the situation if you have the documents


    in front of you.”


    “It’s alright. Just tell me over the phone. I’m sure I’ll get it.”
