Chapter 218

Stella was a little surprised.

‘Why is dad calling me?’ Stella wondered. ‘Don’t tell me he regrets giving me that bracelet the night before.’

In Stella’s perception, Albert was very stingy.

Rainee said that he was probably afraid of being poor because he grew up in poverty. Even after he had the money, he was still stingy with it. His stinginess was not just toward Rainee and Stella but also himself.
