Chapter 252

Haven had made the decision, but everyone else was still hesitant.

But they knew in their hearts that the money was now in Haven's hands, and Haven had always been the one calling the shots at home. They didn't really have a chance to say anything.

However, since the decision had been made, they naturally had to think about what to do after leaving. Everyone started looking up the cost of living in different countries.

Since they wanted to leave, they needed to find a place that was both safe and comfortable.

At the hospital, Stella's phone lit up. Seeing the message from Iris, her face turned extremely ugly.

Stella placed her phone in front of Matthew, "Before I've thought this through, none of these people can leave."

Matthew nodded slightly, "Don't worry. As long as you don't want them to leave, they won't be able to. Besides, you need a passport to go abroad."

He only needed to pull a few strings to make Haven and the others lose their qualification to leave the country.

Mia sighed, "I know every word they're saying. They clearly want to keep leeching off me. Don't worry, I know what I'm doing. I won't let them take advantage."

So what if Haven got that money?

Haven could control the situation now and keep the family members in line, so the money wouldn't be a problem for the time being. But what about later?

With so many relatives, one day, this money would definitely become something they'd fight over.

Those people were all selfish, only thinking about taking advantage. Seeing the money in Haven's hands, they would definitely try to stuff it into their own pockets. Whoever lost out definitely wouldn't let it go.

What they needed to do now was watch them destroy each other.

Hearing Mia's thinking, Stella's eyes lit up.

On the surface, it looked like Haven and the others had gotten a large sum of money, but in reality, it would only plant the seeds of disaster for the future.

Whether at home or abroad, Haven and the others were destined to suffer.

Suddenly the operating room light came on.

The doctor walked out looking exhausted.

"Congratulations, the patient is in very good condition. However, he can't leave the hospital room yet. Don't worry, once the patient wakes up, we'll do a comprehensive evaluation, and then he can be discharged."

"But there's one thing I need to emphasize again. The patient is old and can't handle any shocks, otherwise..."

Stella thanked him repeatedly, "Thank you, doctor."

In the hospital room, Theo still had tubes attached to him. His usually kind face was now deathly pale, completely colorless.

Stella leaned to the side, tears streaming down uncontrollably, "Grandpa, I'm sorry. This is all my fault. If I hadn't used that method, it wouldn't have made the news. Grandpa, you have to wake up."

Honestly, she really regretted it now. As a reporter, she always liked to get to the bottom of things, then use tactics and her own cleverness to get the truth.

It had become a professional habit.

But now the situation was completely different. Since she was part of a wealthy family, her every move would be watched closely and blown out of proportion.

Because of Stella, the White family's stock had already hit the limit down. Not only that, the White family's reputation had also suffered a huge blow.

In many people's eyes, Stella had become wealthy but was unwilling to support her family—that was the biggest wrong.

And moreover, it proved one thing. That Theo simply didn't know how to raise his descendants properly.

Stella hated those comments so much her teeth hurt, yet she was helpless.

Matthew watched from the side, his heart aching, "Alright, it's very late now. Let's go home and sleep, okay? I've already got someone watching Grandpa. You're pregnant. Grandpa wouldn't want you to wear yourself out either."

"But..."

"No buts. In any case, leave everything to me. I won't let you suffer."

As a pregnant woman, Stella had already been at the hospital for over ten hours. If she stayed any longer, her body wouldn't be able to take it.

Regardless of what Stella was thinking, Matthew directly picked her up and took her home.

On Mia and Aiden's side, the two sat in the car, also looking worried.

"What do we do now? On the surface Stella seems fine, but inside, with Theo having such a serious incident, she must feel very guilty."

At the end, Mia sighed.

Honestly, if she had known things would turn out this way, she should have stepped in earlier.

Especially when dealing with people like Haven. They were clearly just after money, and their family had plenty of money. Something that could be solved with money didn't need all that effort.

Aiden felt the same way, "But we can't really blame anyone else for this. Besides, as a reporter, Stella is used to handling certain things a certain way. Let's not say too much."

"Don't worry, I won't meddle. I just feel bad for Stella."

Back home, Stella lay in bed tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep. She rested her head on Matthew's shoulder, her mind racing.

"This will definitely cause big trouble for the company. You can handle things on your end, but what about Grandpa's side? Even though many people are helping, I still feel like something will go wrong."

After thinking, Stella suddenly sat up in bed, "Let's go to the company tomorrow. No matter what, I'm Grandpa's granddaughter. No one else would have as much authority as me."

Matthew instinctively wanted to refuse, but seeing Stella like this, he was helpless.

"Alright, then get some sleep early. We'll go to the company tomorrow. Don't worry, I'm here. They can't stir up much trouble. Even if something happens, I'll be there to handle it."

Hearing this, Stella closed her eyes and forced herself to sleep.

And while many people were entering dreamland, a figure quietly appeared in the hospital room.

This person was none other than Isabella, who had been missing for days.

After losing contact with Haven, Isabella knew she had been betrayed, so she didn't wait around to be caught. Instead, she ran away directly.

The city was so big—as long as she wanted to hide, she wouldn't be easily found.

Under cover of night, Isabella quietly came to Haven's hospital room. Seeing it was completely empty, she was so angry her chest heaved violently.

After thinking, Isabella prepared to leave. But just as she reached the hospital entrance, two people blocked her way.
