Chapter 111
Stella woke up early in the morning and found that Jordan had made breakfast and was waiting for her.
“Why are you up making breakfast?” she asked.
“I just woke up early and didn’t have anything else to do, so I thought I’d make you breakfast,” Jordan replied
“Thank you.” Stella sat down with a smile on her face. She looked genuinely expectant. She picked up her fork and started eating right away
Lately, she had been eating better at breakfast. Her flushed checks reminded Jordan of the photos he had seen of her at eighteen, where he could already see those same contours in her face.
“This is really good. You’re pretty good at this,” Stella said.
The servant nearby couldn’t help but chime in, “Of course. Mr. Erwin made it specially
“That’s enough out of you.” Jordan cut the servant off with a warning.
Stella looked at him in surprise. “Did you wake up early just to make breakfast for me?”
“I’m not sure if it is to your taste,” Jordan said.
“It’s really good,” Stella replied.
She had never been a picky eater. She never dared to be so because it was enough for her to have a meal at home. She didn’t expect more.
However, no one had ever cooked for her before, let alone had secretly gotten up early on purpose to do it.
Stella’s voice caught in her throat. She asked, “Don’t you think I looked terrifying last night?”
Jordan suddenly reached out and took her hand.
Stella was startled and instinctively tried to pull her hand back, but Jordan’s eyes were locked on hers, not giving her a chance.
“Stella,” he said, “stop worrying so much about what other people think. After everything you’ve been through, why should you have to be the nice one and forgive everyone?
“People who deserve punishment should be punished. They’re the ones who are rotten, not you. Don’t ever think you’re being too ruthless.
“Honestly, they should be glad it was you who acted last night. If it had been me, I would’ve stomped Lillian’s eyeballs out and fed them to the
Stella wasn’t scared by his words. Instead, she felt that he was trying to comfort her and ease the weight in her heart.
Stella had heard rumors about how scary Jordan was, but in her eyes, he was the best guy in the world.
“I get it. I won’t think like that anymore,” Stella said.
Jordan reluctantly let go of her hand. He said, “I don’t think you were harsh at all. You only act that way toward people who mess with you, and there’s nothing wrong with that
Stella nodded. “Thank you. I got it
“Good Let’s eat,” Jordan said
The servant watched them, with her face breaking into that classic dating smile.
Ever since Stella moved in, Jordan had become so much warmer. Before, he wouldn’t even bother with breakfast. Honestly, just getting him to eat in the

morning was dready a miracle.
But now, with Stella alund, he sat down for proper meals every day, and he had even personally conked breakfast today.
The servant felt that if this continued, once Stella recovered, Jordan and Stells might deep together, and if they had a kid, this house would be
As they finished breakfast, a servant came in and reported that Lionel had come
Jordan let out a cold laugh. “Is he upset because everyone else got what they deserved except for him?”
“He said he wants to see Stella and take her to the hospital to check on the rest of the Hayes family. They’re all in pretty bad shape,” the servant explained.
Jordan turned to look at Stella, waiting for her answer,
Stella asked, “Did he say he would keep walling there for me as long as I don’t go out?”
The servant nodded.
“Jordan, do you have time later?” Stella asked.
Jordan seemed to get what Stella meant. “I do,” he replied.
In fact, he had an important meeting later, but nothing mattered more than Stella. He would let his assistant take care of the meeting.
“Can you go with me to the hospital?” Stella asked.
Jordan nodded. “Okay”
After what had happened the night before, Jordan no longer worried about Stella. He felt she had become much stronger.
When they stepped outside, they saw Lionel
Lionel was just about to speak to Stella when he noticed Jordan following right behind her.
For some reason, every time Lionel saw Jordan, Jordan gave him an unsettling, almost scary look.
“Stella, are you heading to the hospital?” Lionel asked.
Stella’s expression was colder than ever. She replied, “Of course, but I’m not going for the same reason as you.”
Lionel frowned. “Stella”
Before he could finish, Stella cut him off “Call me Mrs. Erwin. You are not qualified to call me Stella,”
Jordan’s lips curled into a satisfied smile. He had been annoyed for a long time by how Lionel kept calling her “Stella” if he could, he would have already warned Lionel to stop
Lionel stared at Stella for a long moment. When he saw her face remain completely blank, his heart burned cold.
“I don’t know if it was right to ask you t
to go there,Lionel said.
“But you did, didn’t you?” Stella shot back.
Stella gave him a cold look and said, “And you don’t get to take it back now. I’m going to visit them with my husband.”
With that, Stella put her hand into Jordan’y and led him straight to the car
Jordan’s lips curled into a smug grin, and he tried to make sure Lionel saw how pleased he was. Especially when Stella called him “husband“, it felt like a

whole garden of flowers was blooming inside him.
Once they were in the car, Stella finally let go of his hand. She said with a little embarrassment, “Sorry about that.”
“It’s fine.” Jordan replied.
As Jordan pulled his hand back, he kept his eyes on the window. When Stella wasn’t noticing, he kept touching the spot where she had held him and thought, ‘Yeah, my wife held my hand
The other three members of the Hayes family, who had been in jail for days, were finally released after bribing the police.
However, the police made it clear that they would have a criminal record,
They thought, “Whatever. Anything is better than staying locked up in there.
Life inside the jail was miserable. Even after paying up, they still got crappy food, and people were always sent to mess with them.
Fiona had always tried to protect Anna, but the two couldn’t stand up to those people. They were often shoved over the toilet and forced to drink from it
The toilets in prison were nasty as hell to begin with, and after days of barely eating, they had lost a lot of weight.
Normally, one could get out with just a little money, but somehow, they got fleeced for way more than necessary.
As soon as they were released, they heard that Max had been hit by a car and had been unconscious for days, with his hanging by a thread.
they arrived at the hospital and saw Max lying in the ICU, they nearly passed out on the spot.
Max was incredibly handsome, with girls falling all over him, but now he looked very frightening
Luckily, Lionel was there. He tried to reassure everyone that as long as Max could make it through, as long as he stayed strong
Emily had been there for days. At night, she slept on a chair by the door. During the day, whenever she had a chance, she would go into the ward and wipe Max down.
When she saw the Hayes family arrive, she held back her tears and said, “Max couldn’t have been in such a bad state.
“Stella was right there when it happened. I can’t understand how she could be so cold to turn her back on him when Max begged for help.
“I used to put in a good word for her in front of you all. I thought she wasn’t that kind of person, but I was so wrong.
“How could she care so little about her brother’s life? She hasn’t even come to visit Max these days. Does she want Max dead that badly?
