Chapter 929

Albert scowled. “Then, what’s with the pregnancy test I found in the bathroom?’

Xenia clenched her mouth shut and did not say a word.

“Hey, I asked you a question. What’s going on?” Albert frowned.

Xenia’s eyes turned red as she said hoarsely, “I don’t know. I’ve been a little nauseous these days, and my colleague asked me if I was pregnant. So, I got scared and bought a pregnancy test…

“I didn’t expect that it would turn out like this…’ Xenia choked up as she spoke. Her face was covered in tears. “Mr. Jewell, I’m scared…’

Albert looked into her blurry eyes, and his heart was beating vigorously.1 She looks so similar to Rainee when she’s crying. It’s like I’m in school again.’ Albert’s heart melted in an instant. ‘We wouldn’t have to come to this point if only Rainee had relied on me more and obeyed my every word like this girl in front of me. Out of all my lovers, I’ve always loved her the most. Why did she have to betray me?’

Albert hugged Xenia in his arms tightly, patting her on the shoulders. “Don’t be scared. Go to the hospital for a checkup. If you’re pregnant, we’ll keep the baby.”

“How am I supposed to keep the baby? You already have a family. How am I going to raise a child alone? I don’t want to be the mistress. I don’t want to give birth to an illegitimate child.”

Albert was stumped. Hylda was also pregnant. Things would not be pretty if Xenia kept the baby and Hylda found out. But, he also did not want Xenia to get an abortion. He thought that Xenia giving birth to this baby would compensate for not having a child with Rainee since they look so much alike.

Xenia observed Albert’s expression and sobbed, “I know my place, Mr.

Jewell. I don’t expect to be able to keep this child. I’m afraid of getting an abortion, but at the same time, I don’t want to make things difficult for you.”

Albert’s heart softened at the sound of that. He put his arm around Xenia and comforted her in a warm voice. “Give me some time to think about it while you go to the doctor and find out if you’re actually pregnant.”

“Okay,” Xenia replied obediently. She snuggled into Albert’s arms and whispered, “I don’t even know if it’s a girl or a boy.’

Albert’s eyelids twitched, but he did not say anything.

Stella returned to the set after a day off. Surprisingly, she did not see Yolanda there. Stuart told her that Yolanda had taken a leave of absence.

During lunch break, the filming crew gossiped about how Yolanda was targeted by the federal tax department for tax evasion.

“Yolanda really has the guts, huh? The tax department had done an inspection a few years ago and found out that people in the entertainment circle have been evading a total of 10 billion dollars. They’ve been warning them ever since. Yet, Yolanda dares to sail against the wind? Damn. Is she throwing away her future?”

“She’s living off her sugar daddies. If nothing happens to them, then losing a little money wouldn’t make a difference. Even if she does get caught for tax fraud, there will still be people who support her. Why are we even worrying about her when we should be worrying about our monthly bonus?”

“I really hope that she gets caught. She always has problems with the way I do her makeup. She’s the most difficult actress I’ve worked with.”

“Keep your voice down. You’re going to be dead if she hears you.”

‘Well, that was certainly an eye-opening discussion,’ Stella thought as she sipped on her water.

Soon, things became worse. Before the rumors that were going around among the crew subsided, it was revealed on the internet that Yolanda was a sugar baby. In less than two days after that, an official notice was sent out regarding Ms. Fenley for evading more than 10 million dollars of tax. It also asked her to pay up. Everyone guessed that it was Yolanda Fenley. So, Endorsement brands started to announce their contract termination with Yolanda one after the other, and her Facebook account was banned.
