Stella pursed her lips, "Even so, I'm sorry I got you involved yesterday."
‘It's okay," Marshall said calmly. "I understand why Keegan got mad. The situation was inevitable. I grew up with him, so I know what makes him go off."
"He didn't do anything to you, did he?" he paused and said again.
"No," Stella responded. "Keegan never lays a hand on me."
Marshall smiled, "I see he still treats you rather well."
Stella did not answer. ‘It doesn't matter since we're divorcing once he returns"
She did not want to continue this topic, so she asked instead, "Mr. Moore, those people told me that my father had divorced my mom. I don't think they're lying."
Stella was worried because if Albert had divorced Rainee behind her back, he would be unfazed when she talked to him about the property settlement.
"Don't worry. I'll ask my friend to check and see what's happening."
‘Boss, that trip was terrible. Joe was even kicked in the ass. You have to ask that woman to increase our pay," said the blond when they all got into their getaway car.
"Yeah, yeah. Shut up," said the man with the scar as he dialed a number. After a while, a woman's voice came from the other end of the phone, "Is everything done?"
"Yes. She firmly believes in Albert's divorce and will definitely cause him trouble. About the pay, Mrs. Jewell..."
"I'll transfer it to you in a minute."
‘My men were hurt during the job. One of them is still down."
Hylda frowned when she heard that. "I'll add on another 20 thousand. I can be generous when you do your job well."
The man with the scar smirked and said, "Thank you, Mrs. Jewell. From now on, just call me if you ever need someone to do your bidding.."
"How is that woman?" Hylda asked.
"Things are not looking up for her, Mrs. Jewell. She looked like she was half dead. I think she can only survive for a few more days at most. She would have been long gone if the Jewells didn't pay for her medical expenses. However, according to the nurse, she seems to have reacted recently. They're not sure if she’s going to wake up."
Hylda's expression changed, "What did you say?"
The man with the scar was startled, "N-Nothing. I'm just telling you what the nurse said. We heard an opera playing in the ward when we entered the place. One of my guys unplugged the radio and wanted to smash it, but a nurse yelled that the tapes aided Rainee’s recovery. She said she reacted to it recently, and well... that's about it. I didn't pay her much attention."
Hylda's face looked horrified. 'ls Rainee waking up? No! She can't wake up!
She can't! I've gone through all this trouble to reveal Albert's divorce to Stella, forcing her to mess with Albert's plans. Rainee can't wake up. She is the crux of their relationship.
After hanging up the phone, Hylda knocked on the door of Albert's study. The news about Sophia had not subsided yet, and he was still struggling with his working capital.
