Marry My Ex’s Uncle After Rebirth
Chapter 46
Stephanie pushed Vincent into Christinaâs room.
Christina lay there quietly, but her complexion looked rosier.
Sitting on the edge of the bed, Stephanie pulse diagnosed Christina. After a long while, Stephanie removed her hand.
âWhen will she wake up?â Vincent asked.
âIn about a week,â Stephanie replied
âI donât know if Frederick has caught the person who drugged her. Iâll go over to the Fletcher residence and ask him later,â Vincent said.
Stephanie nodded and speculated, âChristie was drugged because someone didnât want her waking up. Letâs go to the Fletcher residence today and announce that Christie is about to wake up. I think the mastermind wonât be able to restrain himselfâ
Vincent smiled and praised. âStephanie is so clever.â
âIf I had been clever, I wouldnât have died so miserably or caused your death in my previous life. By getting a second chance, the only thing I can do is take the initiative and mete out punishment to that disgusting couple, Douglas and Florence! This is just the beginning! They still have much to suffer,â Stephanie thought bitterly.
It was already ten. Vincent held her hand and reminded her, âitâs about time, Letâs go
Stephanie nodded.
Zane was waiting when they exited the mansion.
He helped Vincent into the back seat while Stephanie entered through the other side.
After getting in, Zane started the car, automatically raised the partition, and headed to the Fletcher residence.
It was the first time in her current lifetime that Stephanie was going to the Fletcher residence. Kevin and Ellen were eagerly waiting at the Flatcher
residence entrance.
Seeing Stephanie alight from the car, Ellen trotted over, warmly held her arm, and pushed, âWelcome, Stephanie.â
Stephanie greeted Ellen respectfully.
âLetâs talk inside,â Ellen said.
Stephanie glanced at Vincent, who had already been pushed out by Zane, and mumbled, âBut Vincentâ¦â
Seeing how much Stephanie cared about Vincent, Ellen was overjoyed. âDonât worry about him. Zane will take care of him,â she said assuringly.
Vincent was speechless.
Looking at Vincentâs sullen face, Kevin laughed. He walked toward Vincent with his hands clasped behind his back and teased, âIt seems like you two have a good relationship. You canât even bear to be apart for a minute before your eyes wander looking for her.â
âThatâs not true,â Vincent protested, pursing his
Kevin clicked his tongue and teased, âObstinaÈi bratiâ

Vincent looked at him and retorted, âLaugh as much as you want now.â
âWhat do you mean?â Kevin asked.
âYou will be p**d off later,â Vincent replied.
Kevin suddenly thought of the mess Douglas had ended up in. âLook at what that brat had stirred up! Iâm going to whack him to death!â he fumed.
Vincent remarked randomly, âYou will be angrier later,â
âAre you hiding something from me?â Kevin asked suspiciously
Vincent answered meaningfully, âYouâll know soon.â
Ellen showed Stephanie around the Fletcher residence. It was a luxurious house with antiques and paintings everywhere. Even a piece of ordinary- looking porcelain was extremely valuable.
Ellen took Stephanie upstairs to her bedroom. She took an exquisite jewelry box from the drawer and pulled Stephanie to sit in front of the dresser, trying the jewelry on her.
âStephanie, take whatever you like,â Ellen said.
âNo, thatâs okay⦠Stephanie mumbled.
âIf you refuse, I will make you take this box with you,â insisted Ellen
Unable to refuse Ellenâs kindness, Stephanie picked up a bracelet.
Ellen exclaimed in surprise, âStephanie, I think you picked this on purpose!â
Because she didnât choose the most beautiful one, but the cheapest one.
o, I like this bracelet very much,â Stephanie said with a smile.
âNo,
Ellen was briefly stunned when she received the same type of brooch from Stephanie and Florence at the birthday party.
Compared to the two, Florence was a famous designer, while Stephanie was just a nobody.
She subconsciously felt that Stephanie had referred to Florenceâs when designing, so she hadnât wanted to make the brooch public.
But later, Stephanieâs firmness and explanation of the design concept of the finished product changed Ellenâs mind about her.
She had believed in Stephanieâs ability, but she hadnât expected Stephanie to have such sharp eyes.
Stephanie had picked the cheapest one among the dozens of jewelry.
I like it. Thank you,â Stephanie said, blinking her eyes innocently.
Ellen nodded and said, âIâll put it on for you.â
âAlright,â Stephanie replied.
Right then, Lorelai came in. Seeing that Ellen way wearing a bracelet for Stephanie, Lorelai felt jealousy eating away her insides.
She was well-versed in the value of Ellenâs jewelry.

After all, Lorelal was fantasizing about choosing the most expensive if ever Ellen asked her to choose one day.
âBut the old crow is so stingy. She has never asked me to pick one. Now, she has even asked this b**h, Stephanie, to choose one,â Lorelal thought.

But when she saw that Stephanie picked the cheapest jewelry, she couldnât help but sneer inwardly, âSure enough, Stephanie had no taste and chose the cheapest one.â
Lorelai sneered, âI didnât realize Starlight Design Studioâs designer was so lacking in knowledge about jewelry.â
Hearing Lorelaiâs sarcasm, Ellen asked, âWhat do you mean by that?â
âAlthough the bracelet is worth several hundred thousand dollars, itâs not enough to compare with jewelry in the range of several million or tens of millions,â Lorelai mocked..
Ellen scoffed, âStephie is not greedy for money, so she chose the cheapest one. But I guess you see it as Stephie having no taste in jewelry. She is an S- class designer, so she is quite knowledgeable in jewelry. As for the brooch at the birthday party, I think you are also aware of who plagiarized it.â
âYou are right. Ellen,â Lorelai replied after being stunned briefly. Lorelai kept her lips pursed.
âRather than spending time comparing, why donât you educate Douglas properly? Look at how you have spoiled him. He is an embarrassment,â Ellen snapped. When she heard the car sound from outside, she added, âIâm sure thatâs your precious son. Go on now!â
Lorelai left the room, feeling insulted.
Ellen patted Stephanieâs hand and comforted, âDonât worry, Iâll protect you.â
Stephanie nodded as she held Ellenâs hand and pulse-diagnosed the latter. She is recovering well, Stephanie thought.
When they went downstairs, they saw Douglas walk in gloomily, followed by Frederick, Edith, and Olivia.
Everyone was sitting on the couch except for Douglas, standing in the middle.
Kevin looked at Lorelal and asked, âWhere is Raphael?â
âHe is handling things with public relations. Fantasy Boutique has suffered a great loss due to this incident,â Lorelai explained.
Staring at Douglas, Kevin yelled, âGet on your knees, you brat!â
âI canât blame this on Vincent because I have no evidence. Plus, it will lead to the shooting of Vincent and Summer last night being exposed,â Douglas
thought
He took a deep breath and knelt straight on the ground. âGrandpa, I was set up last night. How could I do such a disgusting thing!â he pleaded.
Kevin pointed at him and thundered, âTell me, how many disgraceful things have you and your fiancée, Florence, done since the engagement party? Do you want to be removed from the Fletcher familyâs registry?â
When Lorelai heard that, she knew Kevin was furious. She quickly knelt beside Douglas and cried, âKevin, Iâm sure Douglas has his reasons. Just think about it. He had been careful ever since that incident. There must be some misunderstanding here!â
Kevin snorted, âPaul, bring over the punishment
