Chapter 1405


    Ste could not help butugh upon hearing Sophia’s ims. “Oh dear. Do you think I want to be


    associated with a family of murderers? You should probably keep your family in order.”


    Having said that, Ste paid no further attention to Sophia and headed straight into the police station.


    Sophia clenched her teeth in anger and followed suit.

    When the two groups of visitors arrived, the police asked Albert whom he’d like to see first. Sophia was


    convinced that Albert would want to see her. After all, she was now the sole remaining member of the


    Jewell family. ‘Even if Dad doesn’t want to entrust all his assets to me, he would still require my


    assistance in clearing his name,’ she thought.


    However, that was not the case. The police soon informed them that Albert had explicitly requested to


    see Ste.


    Ste was not the least bit surprised. A considerable amount of Albert’s wealth was invested in


    Semiconductor Technology. Hispany was already running at a loss, and Sophia would receive


    nothing more than an empty shell. Sophia might even be burdened with Albert’s debts once his


    charges were confirmed.


    Albert was keenly aware of this, which was why he needed to see Ste first. After all, she still


    maintained an intimate connection with Keegan. As long as Keegan stepped in, there was still a


    glimmer of hope for him.


    Ste was sitting in the visiting room, patiently waiting, when the door creaked open, and the police


    escorted in Albert.


    Upon seeing Ste, he became visibly agitated and attempted to rush over. The officers firmly held his


    shoulders and guided him to the chair per protocol.


    Since Albert had not been formally charged yet, the visiting room had no thick ss partition. He still


    seemed somewhat decent, but he had lost some weight, and his hair had turned gray.


    Albert tried to force a smile when he saw Ste and warmly said, “Ste, you’re here.”


    Ste’s expression was calm. She looked at the middle- aged man before her and noticed he was far


    from what she remembered. He was no longer the impatient man in her memory, nor the proud and


    ambitious schr depicted in her mother’s photo album.


    He appeared to have lost his will to fight and was desperate to be set free.


    “The police called and said you wanted to see me. What’s up?” Ste pursed her lips and calmly


    inquired.


    Albert licked his chapped lips, apparently unsure of how to start. Ste grabbed a bottle of water from


    the table, poured the liquid into a ss, and pushed it toward him.


    Albert hesitated for a moment, touched by her gesture. He took the ss with both hands and drank


    the water all in


    one go. After that, he lowered his voice and said, “Ste, please help me.”


    Ste’s face remained unchanged. “Help you with what?” She asked.


    “Your mother’s car crash wasn’t an ident. It was Hylda’s doing. She wanted to be the next Mrs.


    Jewell. So, she arranged for someone to tamper with the vehicle. Now that she has nowhere to run,


    she’s trying to drag me down with her.
