When Her "Death" Couldn't Break Him Novel

Chapter 1355 No Longer A Pauper

Zachary had also seen the news.

"Are you kidding me?"

How could a liar like Stella possibly be Queenie's daughter?

Vivian also found it hard to believe. "Indeed. She's so nasty, so who knows if she's lying."

He pinched the bridge of his nose.

If it's true, then it'd be tricky indeed. I'm not certain I can go against the Jamieson family alone.

At that moment, Jonathan walked out of George's room and said to Zachary, "Great-grandpa wants you to go in."

Zachary had a sinking feeling when he observed the serious expression on Jonathan's face.

"Care to give me a hint as to what it's about?"

Jonathan answered, "It's about Stella."

After Zachary heard that, his expression darkened even further. Nonetheless, he steeled himself and went into George's room.

He had thought George would blame him for offending the Sinclair family, but to his surprise, the elderly man said, "See? I told you long ago that this Stella is not a good person at all!"

Seeing his usually mild-mannered grandfather speak so harshly, Zachary could not help feeling somewhat incredulous.

"Queenie contacted me today. She said she's willing to let bygones be bygones but insists that you stop bullying Stella in the future."

After hearing that, Zachary responded grudgingly, "Got it."

To his surprise, George turned his wheelchair around and glared at him.

"Are you really so spineless? Do you just agree to whatever others say?"

Zachary was dumbfounded. "What do you mean, Grandpa?"

"We may not be able to compete with the Jamieson family now, but who will prevail in the future is still uncertain," came George's reply.

Zachary had not expected his

grandfather to be so open-minded. Beaming, he responded, "Don't worry, Grandpa. Stella dared to. deceive me back then, and she should pay the price now. I'll also crush Jamieson Group-"

Before he could finish speaking, George interrupted him.

"Your top priority now should be to have a few more children with Vivian. Once your kids grow up, they'll be able to stand up for you," George said casually.

After all that, Zachary finally realized that his grandfather was indirectly urging him to have children.

We haven't even had our wedding yet and he's already urging us to have children. I'm truly at a loss for words.

"Okay, okay," he finally replied dismissively before promptly leaving the room.

George's voice could be heard coming from the other side of the door, saying, "Remember what I told е you. Children are more important than anything else. A single twig breaks, but the bundle of twigs is strong. Have more children. Surely one of them will prove useful."

Vivian had hurried over with the intention of eavesdropping to see if Zachary would end up getting. scolded but ended up unexpectedly hearing George urging them to have children.

When Zachary emerged, the two of them happened to come face to face, making the situation particularly awkward.

"Your grandfather didn't get mad at you, did he?" she asked casually.

Also feeling a bit embarrassed, he replied, "No."

Then, he added after a pause, "I'm heading to the hospital."

He had recently developed a surgical treatment for hearing impairment, it would be possible to perform such a surgery soon.

He hoped to help treat Cecilia's hearing after she gave birth.

The pair shared a tacit understanding, and neither brought up the matter of having children.

After receiving treatment at the hospital, Stella was eager to be discharged.

"Ms. Stella, you haven't fully recovered yet. It's best to stay at the hospital and rest more," suggested the housekeeper who had come to care for her.

Stella glanced around. "I don't like this place. Can I go home to rest?"

After hearing that, the housekeeper checked with Queenie before taking Stella back home.

When Stella was back at the sprawling Jamieson residence, her eyes glittered with greed. She finally had a suitable status now and was no longer the pauper from before.
