Stella said in a low voice, “To be honest, I’ve only tipped them once. They were having a lucky draw in their live session, and they were going to pick ten winners to get ten thousand dollars each. So, I wanted to try my luck and topped up a few hundred dollars to enter the draw?
As expected, she did not win anything at all. Online hosts like them would not just do a money-losing business like that.
They were only willing to give away one million dollars because they knew that they could have ten million or even more in return from their viewers’ desire to take risks.
It would only cost a few dollars to enter the draw once, but it gave each participant a chance to purchase a Maserati in cash. The host would also keep persuading their viewers by telling them the more entries they had, the higher the chances of getting selected.
When their lucky draw gained more traction and attracted more participants that could go up to a million, the probability of winning became extremely low. However, the hosts still gained fame and money from the viewers, and organizing a lucky draw like that once would earn them a fortune.
Keegan was speechless after hearing that.
One of her bags alone could already be worth more than a hundred thousand.
He suddenly realized that Stella seemed like the kind of person who would expect good things to fall into her lap.
For example, she would always purchase a few lottery tickets from a shop whenever she went to the mall. The maid would always find a few lottery tickets in her pockets when washing her clothes.
Keegan remembered that she won three hundred dollars once, and it was enough to make her dance around. She even dragged him to dine in a
Fredrus restaurant. She had merely won three hundred dollars, but the bill turned out to be more than three thousand.
He thought about it and figured that Stella was not after the prize itself, but more to the thrill of winning.
She was nothing like a rich girl who would be petty and materialistic. Instead, she was a softhearted person who would never show her true feelings, and that was the exact trait of hers that Keegan became so obsessed with.
The argument was still ongoing in the ward.
Hylda was furious at the statement that Albert had just made. “What’s wrong with our daughter? Isn’t she also your child? Hugo is just introverted, that’s all. Why are you so desperate to get him replaced? How could you be so sure that the slut will give you a son?”
Albert had made his decision to keep the baby, and he was not going to change his mind because of her words. Especially when he thought about the fact that she was going to have an abortion behind his back, he spoke even louder. “Is it wrong for me to find someone else to have my child because you won’t do it? I’m going to keep this baby no matter what.” Then, he warned her, “You better not try anything. If anything ever happens to Xenia and the baby, I’ll come after you!”
Hylda got so angry that her face turned pale. It was true that she snatched Albert away from Rainee, but she did not expect him to be such a hypocrite. Albert did not dare to say a word when Rainee told him to do anything, but suddenly, he became a male chauvinist as soon as he got together with her.
Hylda had been together with him for so many years, yet he still would not let her be fully in charge of their finances.
Otherwise, she would never have to be so inferior and go through anything like this.
Hylda shut her eyes and took a deep breath before she said in a deep voice, “Fine, go ahead and let her have your child. I can only blame myself fortrusting the wrong person. I want a divorce and please prepare the necessary documents. I’m not going to take a penny from you. All I want is Sophia and Hugo.”
After that, she said to Ian, “Ian, help me pack my things. I’m leaving the hospital.”
Albert froze in place, as he was not expecting Hylda to ask for a divorce at all.
Although he wanted another child, it did not mean that he was about to give up his current children.
He was already so old, and in addition to how big of a scandal he got himself into by remarrying that time, he was not planning to divorce Hylda and marry Xenia even though he wanted Xenia to have his baby.
Hylda was always very obedient to him, and she was also the mother of his two children. Moreover, they had some secrets that could never be exposed. There was just no way that he would divorce her.
Albert panicked and hurriedly grabbed her arm. “What divorce? You’re still pregnant! Don’t be ridiculous!”
“I don’t want this baby anymore.” Hylda shrugged his hand off and said with reddened eyes, “Don’t you have another woman to bear your child? Why would you still want this baby? If someone else is going to take away the fatherly love my child deserves as soon as he is born, I’d rather have him die in my womb!”
