Chapter 823

Sophia wanted to use this opportunity to humiliate Stella, but Stella did not give her a chance. After she checked Sophia out, Stella asked, “Which doctor helped do your face? Do you not plan to sue them? I know a lawyer specializing in medical cases, and I can introduce him to you. Then you can have more compensation to find a better doctor to fix it.”

She spoke with such “sincerity” that the woman standing next to her waiting for the stall could not help but look over. Technically, she was looking at Sophia’s face.

Sophia’s expression immediately contorted in rage, but she had yet to absorb the injection she got fully.

The muscles on her face were slightly stiff while the corner of her lips twitched like she had facial palsy.

This further cemented Stella’s statement on Sophia’s plastic surgery.

Sophia had yet to open her mouth when her best friend could not resist helping her stand up to Stella, “Sophia had greeted you out of the kindness of her heart. Don’t you think the words you said are too harsh?”

Stella glanced at her. Turns out, the “best friend’ who said she could not take advantage of her was the daughter of an executive at Albert’s company. The number of times they’ve encountered each other was so scarce you could count them with your fingers. Stella did not even know her name, let alone remember hanging out together.

Sophia saw many people around, so the performing aspect of her personality immediately went online.

“Laura, you shouldn’t say that. After my sister left the Jewell family, she has been living quite roughly.

Hence, she might have some resentment for me.’

“What right does she have to resent you? The one who did something wrong was her mother. You are the legitimate heiress who the illegitimate child bullied for so many years. Has she ever thought how difficult it is for you? There is no need to be too kind toward people like her.”

Stella almost vomited when she heard it. To say that Sophia should not be too kind to people was the same as Obama getting awarded the Nobel Peace Prize. It was a joke.

Sophia continued to act as the kind younger sister, “The things in the past have passed. Anyhow, we are still sisters. I don’t want her to live too shabbily.”

As she said this, she looked at Stella, “Stella, I heard you were left with nothing when you divorced.

The quality of your life must’ve dropped, and it should be quite hard to adapt to it, right? If there is any difficulty with your finance, you should tell me.

Although you aren’t our father’s legitimate daughter, our father raised you for many years. Anyhow, we still care for each other. I’ll help you ask him, as he couldn’t bear having you suffer.’

Stella saw her fake sincere expression, and the corner of her lips twitched into a cold smile, ‘Sophia, are you comfortable wearing the wedding gift the Kane family gave?”

Sophia’s body froze, and she unconsciously covered the bracelet on her wrist. Stella glanced at her indifferently and said slowly, “When I got married, the Kane family sent those wedding gifts over. The cost of them should be at least twenty or thirty million dollars. There is also my mother’s dowry, the residence my grandmother left her.”

“Since I am not a member of the Jewell family, as my mother and Albert have already divorced, I will be demanding to have these things back. So you should go home and tell Albert to help me tally them up.

I will find time to come over and take them back,” Stella continued.

“If I do not get them back, well, you should know my temper. I like to do things using the legal route.

When the complaint comes to sue you, paying back would be the least of your problems. When the news spreads, do you know how ugly it will be? The great noble Jewell family hogs the dead wife’s dowry and the illegitimate daughter’s wedding nuptial gifts. When this news spreads, the others would think how broke or poor the Jewell family is.”

Sophia’s expression was ugly, “Stella, you still have the dignity to speak? How much money had father spent on you, the stuff you ate and used during all those years you spent at the Jewell family? When you were married, our father even added more dowry. Now that you are divorced and penniless, you want to bite the hand that fed you. Aren't you a little too shameless?”

Stella was not angry but smiled instead, “Didn’t you just say you would have your father finance me?

Why did you stop your act when I took the initiative to demand the dowry and nuptial gifts back? Turns out what you said were just lies to your sister?”

Sophia was furious at Stella’s enigmatic demeanor.

“You should go back and ask Albert to see how much my nuptial gift was and how much dowry he gave. We’ll take inventory very thoroughly just in case the Jewell family would think I took advantage of you and start barking at me when they see me.”

After saying this, she glanced at the “best friend” beside her, “A brown noser should lick the correct body parts. You can’t just stick your nose in disgusting stuff just because the word brown is in it. How humiliating is that?”

After she finished speaking, she left the washroom, leaving both of them with shitty expressions.
