Chapter 241

After the meal was finished.

Originally, they hadn't planned to drink.

But Theo was just too happy. He had one glass of red wine after another and accidentally drank too much.

Stella watched with a headache, but she didn't stop him. She knew in her heart that Theo was truly happy.

Seeing his only granddaughter about to get married, and to such a good family at that, he naturally wanted to celebrate properly.

It's just that maybe he drank a bit too much?

When they parted, Stella was worried. She didn't leave with Matthew and the others, but went home with Theo instead.

Back at home.

Theo held Stella's hand, tears streaming down his face, "This is wonderful. I haven't let down your grandmother or your parents. I finally found you and brought you back. Seeing you happy, I can rest easy now."

As he spoke, he looked at Owen beside them.

He patted Owen's shoulder, "Listen carefully. No matter what happens in the future, you must protect Stella, understand? As her brother, you need to act like one."

"I know that leaving all the company shares and all my assets to Stella will make you people unhappy, but you're capable and can still make money..."

To be honest, when Theo decided to leave all his assets to his granddaughter, he did have some concerns.

Although over the years he had said many times that once his granddaughter was found, he would hand over all his assets, when it actually came time to do it, he worried these people might have thoughts about it.

Owen shook his head firmly, "Grandpa, please don't think that way. My parents have said long ago that your assets are yours and have nothing to do with us. Besides, you raised my father—we'll repay you and take care of Stella too."

Hearing Theo's words, he knew what he was worried about and immediately made this promise.

Of course, these weren't empty words. Since childhood, his parents had constantly told him not to covet other people's assets.

Theo had spent his life doing charity work and had already donated most of his fortune. For him, finding his granddaughter was his lifelong wish.

Now that his wish was fulfilled, naturally everyone was happy.

He looked at Stella, "Grandpa didn't have an easy time finding you. In this lifetime, I've accomplished all my wishes. If you ever suffer any grievances in the future, just come back. I'll be here to stand up for you."

The prenuptial agreement between Matthew and Stella wasn't a secret.

And he also knew a bit about that Raina situation.

Of course, he had also guessed some reasons why the two hadn't divorced—after all, Theo's health wasn't good and he couldn't handle any shocks.

But even so, he had made up his mind that no matter what grievances Stella suffered in the future, he would help her get revenge.

Faced with Theo's concern, tears slid down Stella's cheeks. She gently leaned her head against him, "Grandpa, I know you're worried about me. Don't worry, I'm smart—I won't let anyone take advantage of me."

"That's good. Hurry back now. You're married now. Although you haven't had the wedding yet, once you've gotten the marriage certificate, you're someone's wife."

Theo seemed to have endless things to say, but he also knew he couldn't rush everything. He talked to Stella for quite a while before letting her go.

Being old, Theo lay down on the bed feeling sleepy and fell into a deep sleep.

In the living room.

Owen also took out many property deeds, "These are from my parents for you. You know they're abroad now and can't come back easily, but don't worry—if anything happens, they'll come back right away. They'll be back for your wedding."

Stella knew something about the other members of the White family—they were all abroad.

Coming back once wasn't easy. For just an engagement, not coming back was completely understandable.

Stella looked at the property deeds, deeply moved, "Thank you all, but isn't this a bit too valuable?"

They were all overseas properties.

Any one of these houses was beyond what ordinary people could dream of. These things were too valuable—for a moment she didn't know whether she should accept them.

Owen waved his hand dismissively, "Take them. This is my parents' heartfelt gift. Besides, what's this? There are other gifts too. You'll find out when you get married."

Stella thought about it and accepted the property deeds, "Then thank you."

"Don't be so formal. You're no different from my own sister. Now hurry back—the driver is already waiting outside."

When Stella came, her hands were empty. When she left, she was carrying many property deeds.

After getting in the car, Stella was surprised to find that Matthew was there.

"Why are you here? Didn't you say you had company business?"

"My mom asked me to pick you up. But knowing your grandpa was asleep, I didn't go in. What you're holding is..."

"Property deeds, see? Don't bully me anymore—my assets are no less than yours."

Stella looked proud.

Counting carefully, she not only had the assets Theo gave her, but also gifts from the Moore family.

Her total assets added up to more than Matthew's.

For some reason, she suddenly felt inexplicably happy.

Matthew glanced at them coolly, "Indeed more than mine, and you'll receive even more gifts."

Over the years, Theo had adopted many children, and when Stella actually got married, those people would definitely come.

What's more, with Theo's help, those people had all become wealthy—any gift from them would easily be worth hundreds of millions of dollars.

Stella didn't know what he was thinking. She was immersed in the joy of becoming a rich woman.

Back home.

Stella lay in bed and started calculating her assets.

Suddenly becoming super rich was really exciting.

On the other side, Matthew finished his work and returned to the bedroom. Seeing the person on the bed unable to sleep, he sneered, "How about getting up for some exercise?"

"I'd better just go to sleep."

With that, Stella turned over and drifted off to dreamland.

Meanwhile.

Evelyn didn't want to stay in the hospital and had already returned home with William.

Lying in bed, Evelyn forced herself to look at the beautiful scenery outside, her emotions extremely complicated, "Please don't tell my parents about this. They're getting old—I don't want them to worry about me, okay?"

William nodded repeatedly, "Don't worry, I won't let Mom and Dad know."
