Chapter 49 Sadness, Anger, and Jealousyl
Stella was shaken.
As long as Darien was willing to speak up, everything could be discussed.
Although Darien had a sharp tongue, he was a good person.
Back then, he knew that Joel was born prematurely and had a weak body, so he taught her many ways to take care of herself.
Stella said, “Sir Oconnell, you may speak.”
Darien glanced at her and said, “Didn’t you say before that you could play the violin? Among my patients, there are many elderly people who are left behind and feel very lonely.”
“So, I want to organize a charity event for the left behind elderly. If you go and perform for them, I will give you the medicine. What do you think?”
Stella didn’t even think about it and agreed directly.
“Of course, no problem.”
Stella asked again, “Sir Oconnell, can I bring my senior to perform together?”
Darien squinted his eyes and carefully observed the expression on her face, seemingly trying to ascertain whether her words were true or false.
“Do you really want to perform for us old men and women?”
Stella laughed and said, “Before my mother passed away, my senior and I used to frequently go to orphanages and nursing homes to do charity performances. Such things never posed a challenge
for us.”
Darien nodded, “Since that’s the case, let’s settle it like this. Don’t change your mind later when you see the conditions are simple.”
“Sir Oconnell, please rest assured that I will never go back on my promise,” Stella asked, “I wonder when and where Sir Oconnell is planning to hold this performance?”
Darien pondered for a moment, “The time will be set at the end of this month, as for the location… I haven’t decided yet, I will inform you once I do.”
Stella was not picky about the venue, so she agreed.
Darien handed the medicine to her and double–checked once again.
Once you accept it, you can’t go back on your word. Even if you get stabbed on the same day, you
still have to go on stage.
Stella said solemnly, “Sir Oconnell, rest assured, I would definitely go.”

Darien waved his hand and said, “Alright, if there’s nothing else, you better leave quickly and don’t disturb me while I choose medicine.”
Stella and Darien said goodbye and turned away.
Watching Stella’s disappearing figure, Darien dialed a phone number.
“I agreed to go back.”
About ten minutes later, in front of the clinic, there were at least twenty limited edition luxury cars parked.
A few middle–aged men and several elegant and glamorous ladies rushed in hurriedly.
“That’s great! Dad, you finally agreed to come home!”
Darien became furious upon witnessing this scene.
“Damn it, who allowed you to come here so ostentatiously?! Tell those cars outside to get the hell out of here!”
One middle–aged man, not daring to delay, quickly called his assistant to drive the car away.
Another middle–aged man quickly walked up to Darien.
“Dad, the welcome banquet at home is already prepared, let’s leave now.”
Darien glared at him fiercely and said, “When did I say I’m leaving now?”
The man was puzzled, “Dad, so you were…”
“I will be returning at the end of this month. In my name, please extend an invitation to the O’Connell Family, with whom we have established a good relationship, to attend the banquet.”
The man was overjoyed, “Dad, you finally agreed to show up! It’s really great! I…” The man’s words were interrupted by Darien before he could finish speaking.
“I want you to do one thing for me, and if you don’t do it well, I won’t
“Dad, you said.”
Darien explained the matter.
go back.”
The man first showed an expression of disbelief, then his expression gradually became serious. He nodded, “Dad, don’t worry, I promise to complete the task.”
After Darien’s children left, Sir Oconnell snorted, “Those Dodson family members, who always put others down and act superior, take advantage of the fact that the girl’s family is not around and bully others without any restraint.”
The Dodson family’s son appeared to be a talented individual, much to Stella’s admiration. Little did she know, he was actually keeping the company of other women.

“Hmph, this time I
will let them know that with me, the Oconnell Family, protecting her, who
dares to bully that little girl.”
As soon as Stella got the medicine, she went to find Ethan.
“I have already given you the medicine, can you release Carina now?”
Ethan scrutinized the inconspicuous medicine bottle in his hand, feeling skeptical.
“Are you sure that this medicine was not fake?”
Stella subconsciously clenched her fist.
No matter what she did, he always had an unconditional suspicion towards her.
No matter how many wrongdoings Kaylyn did, he was trusted unconditionally.
“Nature is true,” Stella said expressionlessly. “If you don’t believe it, you can show it to Madam Dodson. She has been taking this medicine for two years, and she can tell whether it is real or fake at a glance.”
Ethan said in a casual tone, “Since that’s the case, then you come with me to the old house first.”
Stella did not feel any sadness due to Ethan’s lack of trust.
She nodded, “Okay.”
The Dodson family’s old house.
Jaida pounded the table heavily, her face filled with anger.
“What, Stella hasn’t come home for a long time? Not only do you not care, but you also went to take care of someone else’s child?!”
Joel nodded, recalling the scene from that day. Joel still felt extremely wronged, with even his voice tinged with a hint of crying.
When I asked my mom to choose between the two, she chose the bad kid. The bad kid’s dad said that
my mom didn’t have money to take care of me, but she had money to take care of his child.
The naughty boy named Efrain used to come to me every day and say how good his mother was to him. Not only did she pick him up and drop him off at school every day, but she also made various kinds of snacks and delicious food for him every day.
Jaida had the intention to scold Stella a few words, but upon seeing Joel’s pitiful appearance, she couldn’t help but soften her heart a little.

She comforted, “Don’t listen to that naughty child’s nonsense, he was lying to you.”
“No, what he said was all true!”
Joel took out his phone and said, “He took pictures of every meal his mom made for him and sent them to me every day.”
Roselyn approached and saw the food in the photo, exclaiming, “Wow, these are really Stella’s pastries… Only Stella can make pastries with such patterns and shapes.”
She casually flipped through it again, “Isn’t this dish Stella’s specialty?”
“There was no one else except Stella who used this plating method.”
“Ah! Isn’t this the special herbal cuisine that Stella custom–made for Joel? It’s not available in the
market…”
Every time Roselyn spoke, Joel’s eyes became a little redder.
There was sadness, there was anger, and there was also jealousy.
Madam Dodson frowned and interrupted Roselyn, “Enough, stop talking about this. Joel, don’t
when your
mother comes, Grandma will definitely give him a good lesson.”
worry,
Joel rolled up his sleeves again, revealing his bruised arm that had been secretly pinched.
“That naughty child, he bullied me in kindergarten. He was the one who hit me first, but when the teacher came over, he pretended to be knocked down by me… The teacher and other children said it was my fault and asked me to apologize to him.”
The child’s skin was delicate, and the injury on Joel’s arm was not severe, but it looked horrifying..
Madam Dodson’s heart ached and tears were almost falling. She angrily exclaimed, “This is absolutely outrageous! Tomorrow, you will take Grandma over there, and Grandma will help you deal with that naughty child…”
No sooner had the words been spoken, the servant walked in briskly.
“Madam, Mr. Dodson brought his wife over.”
