forcing her to ingest those toxins long-term until she developed lung cancer. And right after she died, he immediately brought his mistress and their daughter home. He had planned it all along."

Even now, Dewey was furious just talking about it, wishing he could hack that bastard to pieces.

That was also why he had been so adamant about taking Stella away back then.

Had he not suffered amnesia while searching for evidence of Frederick's murderous scheme, Frederick would have been dead a long time ago.

Hearing this, Stella felt a deep, sickening disgust for Frederick's despicable actions.

If he had been kept in the dark, unaware that he was raising another man's child, she might have understood his resentment just a little.

But her grandfather had explicitly told him about her mother's pregnancy before the marriage. Frederick had gone against his own true desires and married her just to get his hands on the money.

He had married her, failed to treat her right, and then actively plotted to take her life. His malice was unforgivable.

Back when she found out her mother's ashes were fake and went to the Hawthorne family for answers, Frederick and Miranda had put on a stellar performance, acting completely oblivious.

So they both knew she wasn't his biological daughter.

Thinking back on it now, probably all three of them—Frederick, Miranda, and Chloe—knew the truth. She was the only one kept in the dark.

That family of three really knew how to keep a secret. Even someone as easily provoked as Chloe hadn't let a single word slip.

Seeing her grandfather filled with such righteous fury, Stella worried about his health.

She quickly reassured him, "Grandpa, they aren't worth your anger. Please, take care of your health, you've only just gotten your memory back. Don't worry, I'll take care of the Hawthornes."
