Chapter 46
Stephanie pushed Vincent into Christina’s room.
Christina lay there quietly, but her complexion looked rosier.
Sitting on the edge of the bed, Stephanie pulse diagnosed Christina. After a long while, Stephanie removed her hand.
“When will she wake up?” Vincent asked.
“In about a week,” Stephanie replied
“I don’t know if Frederick has caught the person who drugged her. I’ll go over to the Fletcher residence and ask him later,” Vincent said.
Stephanie nodded and speculated, “Christie was drugged because someone didn’t want her waking up. Let’s go to the Fletcher residence today and announce that Christie is about to wake up. I think the mastermind won’t be able to restrain himself”
Vincent smiled and praised. “Stephanie is so clever.”
“If I had been clever, I wouldn’t have died so miserably or caused your death in my previous life. By getting a second chance, the only thing I can do is take the initiative and mete out punishment to that disgusting couple, Douglas and Florence! This is just the beginning! They still have much to suffer,” Stephanie thought bitterly.
It was already ten. Vincent held her hand and reminded her, “it’s about time, Let’s go
Stephanie nodded.
Zane was waiting when they exited the mansion.
He helped Vincent into the back seat while Stephanie entered through the other side.
After getting in, Zane started the car, automatically raised the partition, and headed to the Fletcher residence.
It was the first time in her current lifetime that Stephanie was going to the Fletcher residence. Kevin and Ellen were eagerly waiting at the Flatcher
residence entrance.
Seeing Stephanie alight from the car, Ellen trotted over, warmly held her arm, and pushed, “Welcome, Stephanie.”
Stephanie greeted Ellen respectfully.
“Let’s talk inside,” Ellen said.
Stephanie glanced at Vincent, who had already been pushed out by Zane, and mumbled, “But Vincent…”
Seeing how much Stephanie cared about Vincent, Ellen was overjoyed. “Don’t worry about him. Zane will take care of him,” she said assuringly.
Vincent was speechless.
Looking at Vincent’s sullen face, Kevin laughed. He walked toward Vincent with his hands clasped behind his back and teased, “It seems like you two have a good relationship. You can’t even bear to be apart for a minute before your eyes wander looking for her.”
“That’s not true,” Vincent protested, pursing his
Kevin clicked his tongue and teased, “Obstinați brati”

Vincent looked at him and retorted, “Laugh as much as you want now.”
“What do you mean?” Kevin asked.
“You will be p**d off later,” Vincent replied.
Kevin suddenly thought of the mess Douglas had ended up in. “Look at what that brat had stirred up! I’m going to whack him to death!” he fumed.
Vincent remarked randomly, “You will be angrier later,”
“Are you hiding something from me?” Kevin asked suspiciously
Vincent answered meaningfully, “You’ll know soon.”
Ellen showed Stephanie around the Fletcher residence. It was a luxurious house with antiques and paintings everywhere. Even a piece of ordinary- looking porcelain was extremely valuable.
Ellen took Stephanie upstairs to her bedroom. She took an exquisite jewelry box from the drawer and pulled Stephanie to sit in front of the dresser, trying the jewelry on her.
“Stephanie, take whatever you like,” Ellen said.
“No, that’s okay… Stephanie mumbled.
“If you refuse, I will make you take this box with you,” insisted Ellen
Unable to refuse Ellen’s kindness, Stephanie picked up a bracelet.
Ellen exclaimed in surprise, “Stephanie, I think you picked this on purpose!”
Because she didn’t choose the most beautiful one, but the cheapest one.
o, I like this bracelet very much,” Stephanie said with a smile.
“No,
Ellen was briefly stunned when she received the same type of brooch from Stephanie and Florence at the birthday party.
Compared to the two, Florence was a famous designer, while Stephanie was just a nobody.
She subconsciously felt that Stephanie had referred to Florence’s when designing, so she hadn’t wanted to make the brooch public.
But later, Stephanie’s firmness and explanation of the design concept of the finished product changed Ellen’s mind about her.
She had believed in Stephanie’s ability, but she hadn’t expected Stephanie to have such sharp eyes.
Stephanie had picked the cheapest one among the dozens of jewelry.
I like it. Thank you,” Stephanie said, blinking her eyes innocently.
Ellen nodded and said, “I’ll put it on for you.”
“Alright,” Stephanie replied.
Right then, Lorelai came in. Seeing that Ellen way wearing a bracelet for Stephanie, Lorelai felt jealousy eating away her insides.
She was well-versed in the value of Ellen’s jewelry.C0ntent © 2024 (N/ô)velDrama.Org.

After all, Lorelal was fantasizing about choosing the most expensive if ever Ellen asked her to choose one day.
“But the old crow is so stingy. She has never asked me to pick one. Now, she has even asked this b**h, Stephanie, to choose one,” Lorelal thought.
But when she saw that Stephanie picked the cheapest jewelry, she couldn’t help but sneer inwardly, ‘Sure enough, Stephanie had no taste and chose the cheapest one.”
Lorelai sneered, “I didn’t realize Starlight Design Studio’s designer was so lacking in knowledge about jewelry.”
Hearing Lorelai’s sarcasm, Ellen asked, “What do you mean by that?”
“Although the bracelet is worth several hundred thousand dollars, it’s not enough to compare with jewelry in the range of several million or tens of millions,” Lorelai mocked..
Ellen scoffed, “Stephie is not greedy for money, so she chose the cheapest one. But I guess you see it as Stephie having no taste in jewelry. She is an S- class designer, so she is quite knowledgeable in jewelry. As for the brooch at the birthday party, I think you are also aware of who plagiarized it.”
“You are right. Ellen,” Lorelai replied after being stunned briefly. Lorelai kept her lips pursed.
“Rather than spending time comparing, why don’t you educate Douglas properly? Look at how you have spoiled him. He is an embarrassment,” Ellen snapped. When she heard the car sound from outside, she added, “I’m sure that’s your precious son. Go on now!”
Lorelai left the room, feeling insulted.
Ellen patted Stephanie’s hand and comforted, “Don’t worry, I’ll protect you.”
Stephanie nodded as she held Ellen’s hand and pulse-diagnosed the latter. She is recovering well, Stephanie thought.
When they went downstairs, they saw Douglas walk in gloomily, followed by Frederick, Edith, and Olivia.
Everyone was sitting on the couch except for Douglas, standing in the middle.
Kevin looked at Lorelal and asked, “Where is Raphael?”
“He is handling things with public relations. Fantasy Boutique has suffered a great loss due to this incident,” Lorelai explained.
Staring at Douglas, Kevin yelled, “Get on your knees, you brat!”
“I can’t blame this on Vincent because I have no evidence. Plus, it will lead to the shooting of Vincent and Summer last night being exposed,” Douglas
thought
He took a deep breath and knelt straight on the ground. “Grandpa, I was set up last night. How could I do such a disgusting thing!” he pleaded.
Kevin pointed at him and thundered, “Tell me, how many disgraceful things have you and your fiancée, Florence, done since the engagement party? Do you want to be removed from the Fletcher family’s registry?”
When Lorelai heard that, she knew Kevin was furious. She quickly knelt beside Douglas and cried, “Kevin, I’m sure Douglas has his reasons. Just think about it. He had been careful ever since that incident. There must be some misunderstanding here!”
Kevin snorted, “Paul, bring over the punishment
