    Chapter 1387


    “Do you know how Rainee got into a car crash back then?” Xenia asked in a hushed tone.


    Sophia froze and frowned. “Bad luck? Karma? Who cares? All I know is that have nothing to do with it.”


    “Maybe not, but your family does,” Xenia said in disdain. She paused for effect and continued in a


    mysterious manner, “I overheard Mr. Jewell and your mother arguing on the phone a few days ago. It


    turns out that they had a role in Rainee’s ident.”

    Sophia’s heart sank. She pressed the knife harder against Xenia and said, “Do you really expect me to


    believe that?”


    The wound from earlier deepened, and blood trickled down Xenia’s neck. Her lips were pale, but she


    pushed through the pain and said, “I stumbled upon this detail by ident. Your mother paid a visit a


    few days ago, looking for Mr. Jewell. I thought she was trying to convince him not to divorce her, so I


    secretly followed them. That was when I overheard the truth. It wasn’t a mere ident that caused


    Rainee’s death. Your mother had tampered with her car all those years ago. I’ve recorded everything. I


    can y it for you if you don’t believe me.”


    Sophia’s face turned ashen. She would have dismissed Xenia’s words in the past. But, knowing that


    Hylda was currently running from the police for murder, Sophia could not help but think that it was


    possible.


    Xenia saw Sophia’s softened expression and asked, Do you want to hear the recording? I have it on


    my phone.”


    “You faked your pregnancy and tore my parents’ marriage apart. And now you’re telling me this?


    What’s your game?” Sophia snapped back with a cold look.


    Xenia bore the pain and said, “The pregnancy was misdiagnosed. But Mr. Jewell was thrilled and


    wanted me to have the baby. He even promised to marry me someday. So, I went along with it. After


    what happened at the wedding, I thought he would divorce your mother and marry me. Yet, he didn’t.


    He only wanted the child. It’s been a few months, and I can’t keep up with this lie anymore. I just want


    some money and leave this ce. I know Albert wouldn’t give me a dime. That’s why I’m asking for


    your help.


    “Albert conspired with your mother to kill Rainee. If the authorities reopen this case, neither of them


    would get away. The entire Jewell estate will be yours once they get convicted,” she added.


    Sophia’s hand trembled, as her heart pounded fiercely.


    ‘The entire Jewell estate could be mine. I’ve never thought of that before. Mom had said that Dad


    would never willingly hand over his assets to me. The fact that he was willing to give me a small


    percentage of his shares was a miracle. This bitch is onto something. I’m Albert’s only flesh and blood;


    his only legal heir. His fortune would be mine if something happened to him,’ she thought.


    However, another voice soon emerged in her mind. ‘But, he’s my father. Should I really do this?’


    Xenia noticed her uncertainty and tried to add fuel to the fire. “Actually, Albert had the money when


    your mother asked him for it. He just didn’t want to give it to her. He talked about how he had raised


    you and wanted you to repay him. I lost all hope that he’d give me any money when I heard that.”


    Sophia’s wavering expression turned dark after knowing that piece of information. She was reminded of


    what Albert had said earlier. He not only refused to return her money, but he also berated her. She was


    on the verge of insanity, yet he remained indifferent.
