Chapter 191
“You really misunderstood, Mr. Snyder. They’re both my daughters, so I naturally won’t side with any one
of them. When Stella got married, money was tight for me, so her dowry seemed a little meager. The car
Sophia drove is mine. She went to pick it up for me. In the future, she’ll drive the old car. After all, she’ll
need a car as a mode of transportation to go to work.”
Vermont raised a brow. “Is that so? Since you are now well-off, you should compensate your daughter’s
dowry. Otherwise, how embarrassing would it be if others heard about this?”
His flattery put Albert on the spot.
‘Doesn’t he have a public persona of loving women? He’ll have to demonstrate it somehow, right?’
wondered Vermont.
Albert’s expression stiffened, as he was resentful and furious. However, he suppressed his emotions and
said with a smile, “Of course. I’ll prepare it when I get home.”

of this bracelet is not bad.”
Vermont immediately took the hint.
“Mr. Jewell, if you ask me, you shouldn’t even wait till you get home. This bracelet is pretty good,” said
Vermont.
Albert was so shocked he almost coughed out blood.
‘If I prepare the dowry at home, nobody will know what I’ve prepared. If I prepare it here, then. it’ll surely
leave a dent in my wallet. They set me up, but I still need to jump in even when I know it’s a trap,’ he
thought.
“Earlier, I heard you wanted to buy it for your younger daughter. Are you not willing to do it now that
you’re buying it for your elder daughter?”
Vermont really knew where to hit someone where it hurt.
Albert swallowed and forced a smile. “That’s not true.”
He said to the salesperson. “Pack up this bracelet for me.”
Then, he looked at Stella with a loving smile and said, “I’ll only feel at ease when you’re living well.”
Stella sighed internally.
‘Albert will probably hate my guts after this incident. It isn’t easy for him to put on a loving father and
daughter show with me right now,’ she thought.
She lowered her gaze and obediently accepted his attempt to extricate her from the situation.
“Thank you, dad.”
Then, she subconsciously looked at Sophia. Sophia did not even bother hiding the envious and
malicious look in her eyes.
Stella smiled and gently said, “But, I took away what Sophia wanted. She might feel a little unhappy.”
Sophia did not expect Stella to say such a thing at that moment, so everyone immediately looked at her
after hearing Stella’s words.
Sophia did not manage to change the expression on her face in time. Naturally, many saw it.

She bowed her head in panic and said in a low voice, “Don’t say that, Stella. You’ve already given me
such expensive jewelry and treated me like your own sister. So, a bracelet is nothing. I’m happy as long
as you like it.”
Stella smiled slightly and replied, “I’m glad to hear that. We can’t let a bracelet ruin our relationship as
sisters.”
Sophia wanted to scratch Stella on the face. However, in reality, she could only swallow her anger and
answer, “It’s enough if you don’t blame me.”
Kevin could not bear to listen any further and had left somewhere along the way.
Stella felt a little disappointed.
‘I should’ve let him see how his goddess’ public persona came crashing down. Why did he leave ahead
of it?’ she thought.
Stella finished her performance and even got a bracelet for nothing. So, she was in a great mood. She
even found Keegan not as much of an eyesore.
She smiled with her eyes and asked Keegan, “There are some cufflinks here. Pick a pair. I’ll buy them for
you.”
