Chapter 1199

Once Albert had left, Xenia no longer acted as submissive as she did before. She coldly looked up and said, ’Is that so? Then, why did you have someone invite me here? What are you afraid of?"

Suddenly, Hylda's face darkened. "You're still young. Why are you engaging in such disgraceful affairs?"

"Didn't you do the same when you were younger, Mrs. Jewell? No matter how hard I try, I can never reach Mr. Jewell's social status. So, why would I stop when there's a shortcut for me to get to the top?” Xenia smirked.

Hylda was livid upon hearing that. "Do you think Albert will marry you? Dream on! He just wants the child that's growing inside you. He wouldn't even spare a glance at you once the child is born."

Xenia lowered her gaze and smiled. When Hylda saw that expression, she felt a mixture of fear and disgust. It reminded her too much of Rainee, which evoked memories of her dark past and unspeakable actions.

"Looks like the child is my biggest bargaining chip,’ Xenia glanced at Hylda and said. "With this child, I'll always have a place in the Jewell family's future, even if Mr. Jewell doesn't marry me. He might not care about me, but he cares about the child. Especially since it's a boy who could inherit his company. I would like to thank you for setting up a great example. I mean, didn't you get to be Mrs. Jewell because you're going to give birth to a baby boy?" she paused and gently touched her belly. "I guess I have to thank my ovaries too.”

Hylda was trembling with anger. She suppressed her rage and coldly said," All you want is money, right? I bet we can come up with a deal that would benefit the both of us."
