Chapter 249
Looking at the comments below, Stella didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
It was obvious someone was deliberately trying to smear her.
Because every comment above was clearly targeted, painting Stella as an ungrateful person.
Matthew's face darkened, "I've already taken care of things domestically, but these are coming from overseas."
Obviously, even though the news had been taken down, it was still spreading rapidly overseas.
Now it had become international news.
Stella couldn't help but laugh, "I never thought that when I was a journalist I wasn't famous, but now as an ordinary person I've become famous—international news, no less."
In all her years as a journalist, she had dreamed of becoming a famous reporter and breaking an international story.
Never did she expect that there would indeed be international news, but she would be the main character.
Stella suddenly thought of something, "Quick, go check on Grandpa."
Theo wasn't in good health. He'd been busy with wedding preparations these past days, running himself ragged. Who knew what state he'd be in after hearing this news.
Stella was extremely anxious and rushed back home. Just as she reached the front door, she saw Jace carrying Theo out.
"You're finally back, Mr. White has fainted."
Theo was being carried, his face deathly pale, completely unconscious.
Stella's mind went blank. When she came to her senses, she was already in the car.
She grabbed Matthew's arm, "Grandpa will be okay, right?"
If anything happened to Theo, she would never have peace of mind for the rest of her life.
If she had known it would turn out like this, she never would have gone to see Haven.
Stella's eyes filled with tears as she threw herself into Matthew's arms, crying uncontrollably.
Matthew patted Stella's shoulder, constantly comforting her, "Don't worry, Grandpa will be fine. He's just been shocked, that's all."
At the hospital.
Theo was carried into the emergency room, while Stella trembled uncontrollably.
Mia and Aiden rushed over after hearing the news. Seeing Stella in this state, Mia's heart ached.
"It's okay, don't be afraid. Don't worry, everything will be fine. All the specialists are here now, we absolutely won't let anything happen to Theo."
On the way over, Mia had already contacted specialists from home and abroad. They were now on their way here by private jet.
Stella was deeply moved by these words, "Thank you, Mom."
"What's there to thank? We're all family. Don't worry, we're here for you."
Time slowly passed.
But Stella's heart grew increasingly anxious.
Especially when she saw the content online getting more and more outrageous, her face darkened.
Mia was furious, "What are these people trying to do? For attention, they have no shame at all. They're deliberately sensationalizing."
Someone had somehow found photos of Stella from childhood and posted them online.
It clearly stated that because Stella had suffered so much in her childhood, now that she was living well, she wanted revenge on Haven and the others.
And ignorant netizens, led by certain people, began attacking Stella, even attacking the child in Stella's belly.
These people were absolutely crazy.
Mia's face turned dark as she looked at Matthew, "What are you waiting for? Go find someone to clarify immediately, and send out lawyer's letters. Tell everyone that spreading rumors has legal consequences. Get the entire legal team back here."
Stella was pregnant now, and the baby was due soon. What if something went wrong?
In this situation, they couldn't allow any accidents.
Remembering that Haven was also in this hospital, Mia entrusted Stella to Matthew and rushed to the VIP ward.
She kicked the door open.
Mia walked in with bodyguards and saw Haven leisurely drinking juice and eating snacks. Her face darkened even more.
"Everything you've done today is just for money. I don't want to deal with you anymore. Now you have two choices. One is that I send your whole family abroad and you'll never be able to come back. The other is that you tell us everything and help us find the person behind this. You decide."
Mia knew what Stella was thinking—she wanted to find Isabella and avenge Evelyn.
Under normal circumstances, she would respect Stella's wishes and let them investigate slowly, but now the situation was different. Theo was ill, and the baby was due soon. They couldn't have any problems now.
Mia's face was dark as she threw a check over.
Haven was completely stunned, intimidated by Mia's presence.
But when she saw the amount on the check, she couldn't believe it.
"You're giving me a hundred million dollars?"
Mia nodded, "You should know that with our resources, investigating these matters isn't difficult, it just takes time. Now the opportunity is right in front of you. You decide."
"Of course, if you're worried about retaliation after telling the truth, we'll also send your family abroad. With this money, you can live anywhere."
Mia looked at Haven's family members with a warning in her eyes.
At this moment, everyone's eyes were only on that check. Thinking about having so much money, their eyes lit up.
"Alright, there's nothing to hesitate about. Sign it quickly, we're about to live the good life. Mom, don't be foolish. Compared to a hundred million dollars, tens of millions is nothing. Besides, we can't afford to offend them anyway."
"Besides, money isn't the most important thing. What's important is that our family stays together. After this is resolved, we'll stay in this city too. We should spend more time together, right? Don't worry, after this matter is settled, we'll stay in this city and see each other often."
Hearing these shameless words, Mia almost laughed in anger.
However, Mia didn't say much about this. She just wanted to resolve things quickly.
Under her family's persuasion, Haven still hesitated.
Everyone had seen how Haven had treated Stella all these years. Stella had suffered so much—how could she not seek revenge? What if their whole family ended up dead?
