Chapter 829

If Felicity did not observe Stella’s face, her soft tone alone was convincing enough that she was moved by Albert’s words.

Albert stuttered when he heard ‘publicly announce’.

“H-How do you plan to announce it?” “At least go through proper adoption application procedures, publish it on the media, and set a will. With all that. I’d at least get a share of the inheritance when you pass away.”

Albert’s face was a little stiff. He only wanted to use Stella to create connections, not to give her rights to her inheritance.

“Stella, isn’t it too early for us to discuss this? It’s not very appropriate if I were to write my will when I’m still quite healthy. Besides, aren’t you making it difficult for me since adults can’t go through the adoption application? Don’t worry, even without these two, I will still treat you as my own biological daughter. In the public’s eyes, you’d be the daughter of the Jewell family, my daughter. It doesn’t matter if you remarry Keegan or other families. The Jewell family will always be there for you.”

Stella immediately realized the purpose of Albert’s call as soon as he mentioned Keegan. Albert, who was self-serving would never adopt her without a reason. Hemust have heard the rumors from somewhere. Stella meekly responded, “How can I trust your words if there’s no sincerity behind them?”

Albert frowned, knowing that she was not easy to fool. She would not be convinced if he doesn’t pay a price. “Of course, I’m sincere about this.

Didn’t your grandfather leave a villa that was mortgaged? I’ve already redeemed the mortgage, and it’s currently under your mother’s name. Once you remarry to… another family, I will pass on the property over to you in my will. Of course, there would be more I will give you once you become my adopted daughter.”

Stella tightened her grip as she softly asked, “Will Hylda agree to something as important as a deed transfer? You won’t blame it on me if she had a miscarriage over this matter, will you?”

Albert was flabbergasted. “Miscarriage?” “Isn’t Hylda pregnant? Why are you hiding such joyous news?’

Albert’s face turned serious as he asked, “Pregnant? Who told you that?”

Stella acted surprised and replied, “Don’t you know? My friend personally saw her visiting the gynecologist.”
