The Returned Heiress Who Never Fit In

Chapter 534 The Grandpa Who Refused to Forgive

Stella nodded. “Yeah, he’s still alive.”

“Who was the one that declared him dead back then?” Madam Lyla frowned.

That was no small mistake.

If someone couldn’t even determine whether a person was alive or not, they had no business calling themselves a doctor.

“Eddie,” Stella said, her voice full of exasperation.

The moment she mentioned his name, she was already speechless.

“No wonder.”

Madam Lyla didn’t even know where to begin with Eddie.

“I seriously don’t understand how he ever earned that ‘genius doctor‘ title.”

To the outside world, Eddie’s medical skills were practically mythical.

But the people who actually knew him? They knew better.

While the two of them were chatting, Abraham and Marie came in from outside.

“Grandma,” Marie called first.

Her face was still bruised.

The moment she leaned in closer, Madam Lyla was visibly startled.

“Goodness, what happened to your face? Who hit you?”

That kind of bruise could only come from a beating.

Stella turned to look at Marie, clearly worried too.

Marie instinctively touched her cheek. It really did hurt… “Ugh, that bastard’s guys hit pretty hard.”

Even her lips felt swollen.

That bastard’s guys?

Why did that sound so… suggestive?

Madam Lyla’s face darkened immediately at the words “that bastard.”

“Dan’s men?”

Marie nodded. “Yeah, ugh, let’s not talk about it. Wow, what’s with all these jewels? Are you showing off or something?”

Madam Lyla gave her a slap on the arm. “Watch your mouth. Do I look like someone who would show off?”

“No.”

Then what was with all this stuff on display?

“Stella’s getting married. These are part of her dowry. I was letting her pick something out. You pick too.

“I’m not getting married. Let Stella take it all,” Marie said.

She never really cared for this kind of stuff.

Stella was more girly anyway, so it suited her more.

“I already have too much. I don’t need any more,” Stella said.

She’d been gone for years, and in that time, her mom and Marie had filled her closet with so many things. she didn’t even have room for them anymore.

Watching the two girls push the treasure back and forth, Madam Lyla got annoyed.

“Then I’ll just throw it all out?”

“Don’t–fine, I’ll pick something.”

The second she heard that tone, Marie knew Grandma was getting mad. She quickly stepped up to pretend to choose something.

Not that it mattered–whatever she picked would end up with Stella anyway. Marie had no clue what to do with any of it.

Abraham stepped behind Stella, picked up a bracelet, and slipped it onto her wrist.

Madam Lyla glanced over. “Ahem, that one was meant for Marie.”

That one was no cheap trinket.

Still, that brat had a good eye.

Marie waved her hand. “Give it to Stella. I don’t want it. I don’t even like it.”

Wow, Madam Lyla wasn’t even trying to hide her favoritism.

And Stella was standing right here. Wasn’t she afraid of hurting her feelings?

But Madam Lyla clearly knew what Marie was thinking and huffed, “I already have something better for Stella. Why are you fussing over this one?”

She said it like she wasn’t playing favorites.

Please–of course she was. One was her precious granddaughter–in–law, and pregnant too!

At the café.

When Abraham brought Stella over, they saw Mr. Faust playing with the teapot she’d brought him.
