When Her "Death" Couldn't Break Him

Chapter 1382 Know The Truth

"Mom, I made scrambled eggs for you myself."

Early in the morning, Stella tried to curry favor with Queenie.

If Queenie hadn't already known she was a fraud, she might have actually been moved.

Without even glancing at the scrambled eggs, Queenie said, "Just leave it."

"Okay."

Stella put down the scrambled eggs but didn't seem inclined to leave.

Instead, she moved behind Queenie and said, "Mom, you work so hard every day. Let me massage your back for you."

"No need. If you're bored at home, you should go out and broaden your horizons," Queenie replied.

Once again met with indifference, Stella was struggling to understand Queenie's personality.

Feeling disheartened, she left. Outside, Stella muttered, "What am I doing wrong? Why is she so cold to me?"

As she puzzled over this, she spotted Cassandra approaching Queenie with her usual spoiled and willful demeanor.

Suddenly, Stella understood. A sinister smile spread across her lips.

"So, you like unruly, ungrateful children, do you?"

Since she couldn't please Queenie today, she decided not to waste her efforts.

With her newfound wealth and the power others envied, Stella went to the Royale Club, where she had access to the most exclusive private rooms.

The same wealthy heiresses and noble sons who once looked down on her now fawned over her.

"Stella, I always knew you were extraordinary. Who'd have thought you were the long-lost heiress of the Jamieson family?"

"Exactly! You're so beautiful. It was obvious you weren't from a poor family."

"I always believed you'd achieve great things one day."

Listening to their flattery, Stella no longer bothered to hide the smugness on her face. She raised her glass and said, "But didn't you all used to look down on me? Didn't you call me an orphan? Did you know that Cecilia is actually the orphan?" Everyone froze in shock.

The fact that Cecilia wasn't Paula's biological daughter had never been made public.

Yet Stella openly revealed the truth without hesitation.

"So, she was adopted!"

"No wonder she's disabled! I knew someone from our high society couldn't possibly have a child like her."

"Exactly, how cliché."

Knowing Stella and Cecilia didn't get along, the group began criticizing Cecilia mercilessly.

Some even brought up Cecilia's orphan status and hearing impairment in their old class group chat.

Cecilia saw the messages but paid them no mind and turned off her phone.

Meanwhile, Stella's circle continued their reckless mockery.

After they had worn themselves out gossiping, someone suddenly mentioned Zachary.

"Stella, didn't Zachary like you a lot back then? Now that you're the Jamieson family's daughter, I bet he'd dump that nouveau riche Vivian and come running back to you."

At the mention of Zachary, Stella's expression darkened.

Back then Zachary had been willing to do anything for her. But after the truth was exposed, he had crushed her into the mud.

If not for her good fortune in finding an opportunity to rise again, she'd still be stuck at the bottom of Tudela's society.This is the property of Nô-velDrama.Org.

Now, dealing with Zachary was still a challenge. But dealing with Vivian?

The thought of Vivian not only marrying Zachary but also being Cecilia's close friend gave Stella a wicked idea.

"By the way, when's their wedding?" Stella asked.

"In just a couple of days, I think," someone answered.

So soon?

Stella rested her chin on her hand, mulling over the idea. What would happen if Zachary were to end p with a less-than-pure bride on his wedding day?
