Chapter 1304
Once Ste put on the dress, she emanated the aura of an elegant and refineddy. She looked at
herself in the mirror for some time and suddenly said, “This dress makes my butt look big.”
Everyone was left speechless.
“Can you just be quiet for a moment so I can admire your appearance?” said Felicity.
Meanwhile, Hylda looked ashen as she stepped out of the police station. Sophia’s car was waiting not
far away. When Hylda entered the car, Sophia asked urgently, “How did it go, Mom?”
Hylda’s expression was strained, “They said they have to wait for all the children’s medical results
before making a decision. The school has been ordered not to stay closed, and we can’t work in the
education industry anymore.”
“And Auntie Lydia?”
“Things wouldn’t have turned out like this if she wasn’t greedy for the money. She deserves to be
locked up,” said Hylda.
Sophia fell silent. After a while, she whispered, “Mom, did you know Ste donated thend and
house? She never intended to keep it. She wanted it back just to make our lives difficult.”
Hylda frowned as she reyed the recent events in her mind. “What’s her end game? Why does she
keep targeting me?” She murmured. Something flickered in her mind, but before she could grasp the
idea, her phone rang and disrupted her thoughts.
Hylda found it weird that someone was calling her since only a few people knew this number. She
answered the call and asked, “Who is this?”
“Congrattions on getting your wish, Mrs. Jewell,” a hoarse voice sounded from the other end of the
phone, followed by a few coughs.
Hylda froze upon hearing that voice. She promptly opened the car door and stepped outside to
continue the conversation.
Sophia was taken aback by Hylda’s behavior. ‘Who’s on the other line? Why is Mom being so
secretive?’ She thought.
Hylda moved to a quiet spot before speaking again, “You didn’t call just to congratte me, did you?”
The person chuckled dryly and said, “There’s something I’d like to discuss with you, Mrs. Jewell.”
“What’s there to discuss? I’ve treated you well all these years, haven’t I?”
“I wouldn’t put it that way, Mrs. Jewell. Especially since I’ve kept your dirty secrets all these years.
Remember Rainee’s depression medication, the truth about her miscarriage, her car ident, and that
man’s identity? Any one of these
secrets could have cost me my life, yet I never said a word about them.”

Hylda’s expression darkened. She gripped her phone so tightly that her fingertips turned white. She
paused and said, “What do you want?”
The voice on the other end chuckled again. “It’s nothing much. I’m not feeling well and would like to
‘borrow’ some money for my medical expenses.”
‘Money? Again?’ Hyldaposed herself and calmly asked,” How much?”
“Two million dors.”
The person’s answer left Hylda dumbfounded. “Two million dors? Do you think that my money grows
on trees?!”
“It’s not too much for you, is it, Mrs. Jewell?”
“I don’t have that much money. I can only give you a hundred thousand dors at most.”
The man’s voice turned stern, “A hundred thousand dors? Are you kidding me?”
Hylda became irritated. My money is tight right now.
Haven’t I already given you a significant amount over the years? Plus, didn’t we settle everythingst
time? These one hundred thousand dors is purely a kind gesture.”
“I don’t care if you’re in a tough spot. I need the money for surgery,” said the man.
Hylda’s expression turned darker, “I told you I don’t have two million dors. Where do you expect me
to find it?”
“That is none of my concern,” the voice sneered. “Didn’t one of the Jewell family’s daughters marry the
wealthiest man in Rivera? I’ll ask her for the money if you won’t give it to me. I bet the secrets I’ve kept
are worth more than two million dors to her.”
