Three Years After They Abandoned Me novel Chapter 167

Chapter 167

Jordan also hugged Stella tightly.

Because they had Western food, Jordan kept worrying about Stella. He was afraid she might get sick. The second her expression changed, he’d grow extremely anxious.

“Are you okay?” he asked.

Stella laughed and said, “Don’t you trust what the doctor said?”

“I trust traditional medicine more than Western medicine, but how you feel is what matters. I genuinely care about you,” said Jordan,

“I’m fine, as usual,” said Stella.

“What matters most is tonight. I’ll sleep on the floor in your room. Wake me the moment you feel poorly.”

Stella hadn’t expected him to be this anxious.

“I’m okay, seriously. You can sleep in your room. If something is wrong, I’ll call you,” said Stella.

“Are you sure?” Jordan asked, his eyes full of concern.

Stella nodded firmly.

“Alright, since you’ve put it that way, I’ll do what you say,” Jordan said, relenting.

The next morning, when Stella got up and stepped out of her room, Jordan was already there. He asked quickly, “How are you feeling?”

Stella laughed and said, “Relax, I’m fine. I even went to the bathroom. Everything feels normal.”

Jordan breathed a sigh of relief.

Stella was sued by her mother.

Fiona called the media and played the victim in front of the cameras. She said, “Stella had treated me horribly. Ever since she came back after being kidnapped, I’d always been good to her, but after she took the Hayes family’s assets, she just turned her back on me.

“I have nowhere to stay now and have to sleep on the streets every night. It was so hard for me.”

Some people didn’t know the truth. After seeing the news, they thought Stella was so cruel. They couldn’t understand how Stella could do

such a thing.

The media was happy to go along with it. It was a hot–button issue.

Then the drama kept snowballing, and soon it started to impact Hayes Group.

Someone dug up that the Hayes Group was in terrible shape now, and it was all a mess after Stella took over. They said Stella made up a nice story for herself, but in reality, she was only after the Hayes family’s fortune. Everyone online was saying she was a total schemer.

Nola was furious and stormed over to Stella after seeing the news.

“What does she mean? She thinks we’re easier to mess with than Anna? So she keeps picking on you? Ms. Hayes, this seriously damaged the company’s image. You can’t let it slide

“She’s giving us free publicity. Isn’t that great?” Stella replied, unfazed.

“But the supermarkets we’re building have already been found out, and people have gone there to cause trouble,” said Nola,

“It’s fine. Send more people over to keep them away from our markets, but let them make as much noise as they want,” said Stella.

Nola looked at Stella and thought, ‘She’s really the one who calls the shots. She is so calm, while I’m terrified out of my wits!

The news about Hayes Group choosing sites to open new supermarkets was causing a huge stir online.

Fiona couldn’t see what was going on, but Andrew got it right away.

Andrew thought, ‘Fiona was such a fool. Stella turned this drama into free advertising for her supermarkets. I must say Stella is really smart.

‘How could I not notice it before?‘

Public interest was aroused by the case, and with Fiona homeless and sent to a shelter, the trial date for the lawsuit has been pushed up significantly.

On the day of the trial, Stella showed up in person.

With so many people paying attention to the case, the court has approved a live stream so that everyone can follow the proceedings.

In the courtroom, Fiona sobbed heart–wrenchingly, making herself out to be a tragic victim. Many people were moved by her act, so they joined in and denounced Stella.

After Fiona finished her performance, tears came to Stella’s eyes, too.

Just when everyone thought she’d cave and apologize, she said, “Mom, the internet leaves traces. Some things are still out there online.

“I don’t think everyone will stay in the dark about your past if they look it up. I’ll start from when I was a kid and go through everything, one by one.”

Fiona was stunned.

She pleaded with the judge, claiming that Stella’s stories had nothing to do with the case, but the judge overruled her objection.

After hearing what Stella said, everyone was left in shock.

Some people immediately went online to check, and only then did they realize that Fiona was truly terrifying.

With tears streaming down her face, Stella said, “Mom, if you’d been even a little kind to me, I wouldn’t have to treat you like this.

“I’m not your only daughter. Anna turned her back on you the other day. You knew you couldn’t count on her, so you chose to come after me instead, didn’t you?

“It’s not the first time that you let me down. Why do you have to treat me like this? Mom, am I really your daughter? You’ve never cared about me, but you gave me such a hard time. Why?”

Hearing these accusations, Fiona was completely dumbfounded.

Everyone finally realized what was going on. They had all been duped by Fiona’s story.

“Damn, is she even a mom? This is just a guy said angrily.

They were at a loss for words.
