Chapter 332

“He’s already so old. His life could be in danger by falling like this.”

“Our grandfather fell in the Kane residence, yet nobody from the Kane family is here. Aren’t they going to take responsibility for what happened?”

The Jewells spoke and tried to put the blame on Stella.

Stella gazed downward without saying anything.

“Stop talking! It’s so noisy!”

Arthur furrowed his brows. He was not having any of their “concerns”. “Get out now, all of you!” he yelled with a frown.

Everyone turned quiet.

Then, they reluctantly left the room, one after another.

Stella was about to leave too, but Arthur stopped her. “Stella, pour me a glass of water.”

Stella stopped and turned around.

Her uncles and aunts looked at each other after hearing what Arthur said. Then, they pursed their lips and closed the door.

Stella brought a glass of water and placed the straw near Arthur’s mouth. He lifted his head and took two sips before lying back down.

Then, he patted his blanket and said softly, “Sit closer to me.”

Stella put the cup down and did as he said.

“Where’s Keegan?” Arthur asked softly.

Stella looked down and said in a low voice, “He was here just now, but he left because he has something to do.”

Arthur pursed his lips without saying anything.

Stella clenched her fist and said softly, “I’m sorry.”

Arthur smiled. “What for? You didn’t do anything wrong.”

Stella then continued under her breath, “I wouldn’t have let her touch you if I was at home.”

“What? I was just too angry, and I couldn’t think straight. I shouldn’t have grabbed her wrist.”

Arthur sighed and continued, “I’ve always wanted to meet your husband’s family, and see what they’re like. I just didn’t expect things to end up this way.” He patted the back of Stella’s hand after saying that.

“I should’ve known better.”

Stella was confused. Then, she saw Arthur taking a bankbook out from his underclothes before handing it to her. “The compensation I received from our old house relocation a few years ago is in here. The pin code is six ones. Take this with you and your mother-in-law won’t look down on you anymore. Use the money and buy yourself a house if you really don’t like living there. It’s enough to cover all of your expenses. Remember, marriage is nothing compared to your own happiness.”

Stella’s heart clenched as she pushed the bankbook back with her red eyes. “I’m not taking it.”

“Silly girl!” Arthur lightly smacked her head with the bankbook. “All of the people outside are longing for this, yet you just rejected it. No wonder that brat treats you so badly!”
