    “Did Albert transfer the money?” asked Ste.


    Xenia shook her head. “I don’t think so. He’s back, but he clearly looks troubled. It appears he’s


    reluctant to pay up. I overheard him on the phone with Sophia, and it sounded like they were


    discussing about shares.-


    ‘Shares?’ Ste pondered for a moment. ‘Could it be that Albert is exploring the idea of trading shares


    with Sophia to get the funds?’


    She hung up the phone and frowned. “Can this recording be used against them?” she muttered.


    With no response from the person beside her, she turned to find that Keegan was lost in thought. “Hey,


    I’m talking to you. What’s on your mind?” she nudged his arm and said.


    “What did you say?” Keegan snapped back to reality and asked in a low voice.


    “Why are you zoning out so early in the morning?” Steined before repeating herself.


    After hearing her out, Keegan exined, “Recordings from wiretaps like this probably won’t hold up as


    direct evidence. But we can consult Ted about itter.”


    Ste felt somewhat disappointed to learn that the evidence would not be admissible.


    Keegan noticed this and reassured her, “Even if it can’t be used as primary evidence to press charges,


    this recording does validate your suspicions. Rainee’s car ident wasn’t an ident. It was a


    calcted murder. Our focus right now should be on gathering concrete proof.”


    Ste realized that there was no need to rush. “Should we try to locate Walter?”


    Keegan gently tapped his fingers on the leather seat. He considered the suggestion before he said,


    “Let’s give it a bit more time.”


    Albert genuinely did not want to give Walter five million dors. ‘How on earth am I going to support my


    son if I hand over the money? I haven’t even received a single cent from the 50 million dors Keegan


    gave me,’ he thought.


    Albert then weighed his options and devised a n. He would negotiate with Sophia to sell a portion of


    thepany’s shares to Ethan.


    Sophia and Ethan had a good rtionship. Even though they had only been together for a short while,


    the Shaw family was quite fond of the Jewell family and had a favorable impression of Sophia.


    Sophia had been doing a good job in promoting Ethan’s career through her marketing articles and


    techniques as an influencer. Although the Jewell family could notpare to the prestigious families,


    theirpany had been performing well over the years, thanks to the support of the Kane family.

    Furthermore, Albert only had a son and a daughter. If Sophia eventually tied the knot with Ethan, it was


    usible that the


    When a person got married, they would be part of their partner’s family. Hence, Sophia’s


    belongings would likely be connected with the Shaws.


    When news of Hylda’s affair came to light, the Shaw family learned from Sophia that Hugo was not


    Albert’s biological son. This revtion brought immense joy to the Shaw family because it meant that


    Sophia had be the sole heir of the Jewell family. As a result, the Shaws treated Sophia even


    better than before.


    Currently, Sophia and Ethan were living together. They were deeply in love and were behaving like


    newlyweds.


    Albert called when Sophia was goofing around with Ethan. She did not find Ethan’s looks particrly


    appealing, but he had a way with words and knew how to make women happy. Even though Sophia


    had a contractual rtionship with thepany, Ethan consulted her on all majorpany matters


    and introduced her as his partner.
