When Her Death Couldn't Break Him (Cecilia and Nathaniel) novel Chapter 1382

Chapter 1382 Know The Truth
“Mom, I made scrambled eggs for you myself.”

Early in the morning, Stella tried to curry favor with Queenie.

If Queenie hadn't already known she was a fraud, she might have actually been moved.

Without even glancing at the scrambled eggs, Queenie said, “Just leave it.”

“Okay.”

Stella put down the scrambled eggs but didn't seem inclined to leave.

Instead, she moved behind Queenie and said, “Mom, you work so hard every day. Let me massage your back for you.”

“No need. If you're bored at home, you should go out and broaden your horizons,” Queenie replied.

Once again met with indifference, Stella was struggling to understand Queenie's personality.

Feeling disheartened, she left. Outside, Stella muttered, “What am I doing wrong? Why is she so cold to me?”

As she puzzled over this, she spotted Cassandra approaching Queenie with her usual spoiled and willful demeanor.

Suddenly, Stella understood. A sinister smile spread across her lips.

“So, you like unruly, ungrateful children, do you?”

Since she couldn't please Queenie today, she decided not to waste her efforts.

With her newfound wealth and the power others envied, Stella went to the Royale Club, where she had access to the most exclusive private rooms.

The same wealthy heiresses and noble sons who once looked down on her now fawned over her.

“Stella, I always knew you were extraordinary. Who'd have thought you were the long-lost heiress of the Jamieson family?”

“Exactly! You're so beautiful. It was obvious you weren't from a poor family.”

“I always believed you'd achieve great things one day.”

Listening to their flattery, Stella no longer bothered to hide the smugness on her face. She raised her glass and said, “But didn't you all used to look down on me? Didn't you call me an orphan? Did you know that Cecilia is actually the orphan?”
