StarNovel
Chapter 186
Albert’s toxic masculinity led him to constantly argue with Rainee when people told him that he would not
have achieved what he was today without his wife. After what happened to Rainee, he hurriedly took
control of the company just to prove to everyone that he would still be able to run a successful business
without her. What annoyed him the most was people saying that he relied on women to succeed.
So, when Stella stated that the reason behind her father’s success was Hylda’s support, she crossed the
line.
Albert’s expression turned ugly, and he said coldly, “I don’t need any help. She’s just a female companion
for this event.”
Hylda’s face turned pale, but the woman had great tolerance and said, “I’m sorry I
overstepped.”
Sophie wanted to say something, but seeing Hylda slightly shaking her head at her, she gritted her teeth
and shut up.

Sophie suppressed her emotions and glanced elsewhere. As if an idea had suddenly popped into her
mind, she lowered her gaze and said with a little nostalgia and hesitation, “It’s way over my budget. I’ll go
look around.”
Just as Stella was about to speak, a sarcastic male voice came from the side. “Ask your sister to buy it
for you, then. It’s just a little more than one million dollars. That’s only a few meals for the Kane family.
Shouldn’t she take care of you since she married into a wealthy family?”
Stella turned to see the person who spoke and saw a young man in a suit, who was about the same age
as her. The man was handsome, like an idol who had just debuted in the boyband. Stella thought that he
looked familiar. After a long stare and some deep diving into her memories, she recognized the guy as
her high school classmate-Kevin Blamer.
Her eyes darkened unconsciously. The sudden appearance of this person reminded her of some
unpleasant memories.
Sophie pretended to be nervous. She glanced at Stella in fear and anxiously said in a low voice, “Don’t
say that, Kevin. My sister is very good to me.”
“Good to you? Would she give you the things she no longer wanted if she was that good to you? They
adopted you into the family and gained fame and fortune because of you. I say she should treat you
better,” Kevin sneered.
Kevin’s family status was also quite high in Rivera. After he insulted the wife of the infamous Keegan
Kane, others continued, “Wait, the adoptive daughter of the Jewell family is the internet celebrity, ‘Soph’s
Trove”?”
“Oh! No wonder she looks so familiar. Does that mean Stella is the so-called sister who keeps pushing
her away?”
“Yeah. Their family adopted Sophie back then, and it went on the news. The Jewell family made a lot of
money from it, but it didn’t take long before it was revealed that her adoptive
sibling disliked her. She wasn’t doing so good in the Jewell family. But, she turned out great. She
graduated from a prestigious school, and I heard that she works in a top 100 company. The Jewell
family’s biological daughter seems to have graduated from some kind of public university, though. The

“Now that you mention it, I remember that we were in the same school. Back then, the news about her
excluding her adoptive sister from things went viral. She even beat people up whenever they talked to
her about it. Wow, I didn’t expect her to marry into the Kane family.”
Albert frowned and wanted to say something, but Hylda stopped him. “Think about what Stella did,” she
said. Albert paused and pursed his lips.
Stella’s expression was extremely cold. These words no longer hurt her as much as they did back then.
They only made her realize what kind of person Sophie was.
Sophie was an orphan and had lived in an orphanage since she was a child. The orphanage she stayed
in was funded by Rainee and Albert. Because they were sponsors, they were invited to attend the social
donation activities of the orphanage.
Once, an accident occurred during an event, and the warehouse where social donations were stored
caught on fire. A child was trapped in the warehouse.
Fortunately, the fire brigade came and extinguished the fire in time. The child was safe. The social event
went viral at that time, and even the fire rescue scene was captured on a live broadcast.
