Stella came with purpose. As long as it was a good thing of Winnie, she would come and tell her
Grandpa so that he would have good impression on Winnie.
"Winnie really deserves praise. Before Gloria comes to meet, invite Winnie to a dinner. I want to thank
her."
Felix admired Winnie's ability to work and also recognized her attitude. He wanted to thank Winnie from
heart, but Stella could not accept his way of thanking.
"Forget it, Grandpa, last time she was here, but Maria gave a black face, which not only made Winnie
embarrassed, but also made Vanessa moved out of our house."
"Don’t thank her. Even if you invite her to dinner, my dad will not agree her to come."
Stella made a joke to Felix about what happened last time. Winnie was not a doll, how could she be
treated at will?
"There were so many people and you are still the younger generation. Maria was no brain, but I could
not scold her in front of the younger generation."
Felix covered up his selfishness perfectly, and then he asked a question.
"Vanessa moved out from home because of it, why?"
"She went out so that she wouldn't bother her sister and she sister wouldn't be less discriminated
against."
Stella said in a strange tone, knowing that her grandpa was in the intentional evasion of responsibility.
Stella continued.
"Her aunt had worked hard for the two sisters all her life and finally has a chance to travel. Before she
left, she entrusted Vanessa to our family, but we drove her away."
"There is no one at home now, so she has to go to school to live in with her classmates. How would we
explain it if her aunt finds out?"
"Maria were happy after saying that. You and Uncle Thomas were silent, our younger generation dare
not refute her and could only see Winnie suffered grievance. How do you think Vanessa felt? Vanessa
was self-restraint and quality, if not, the situation would have been out of hand that day."
Stella said seriously, showing dissatisfaction of that day. She wanted to let her Grandpa know that
Winnie needed to be respected and her dignity could not be trampled.
"Vanessa's temper is like Winnie's. She is stubborn and unconvinced, but sensible, afraid of getting her
sister in troubles."
Felix sighed. Was his silence really wrong that day? He not only gave Winnie warning, but also
indirectly hurt Vanessa.
"Grandpa, don't ask Winwin to come. Since the blind date between Gloria and Brian got spread, Winnie
did not say anything, but she has become estranged in the suburbs."
“She felt she was outsider since Brian has a girlfriend. She didn’t feel at home in the suburbs, how can
she come to the old house?"
Stella had observed Winnie’s changes. Feeling of Winnie's alienation, she felt Winnie was sad.
"Grandpa, let Winnie leave with two kids. Don't make her live in an awkward position at our home.
Wherever she goes, the two kids are our family."
"And if Gloria and Brian get married, they can have their kids."
Stella said this suggestion deliberately, only to test grandpa's determination.
"I won't compromise on that. The two kids are my families, no one can take them away. Gloria can give
birth to kids, but the kids may not be as smart as Luke and Megan."
"If Winnie takes Luke away, the Bennet family will be less of a good successor. I won't agree."
Felix had a tough attitude. He would not allow the kids to be taken away, especially they were so smart.
They were just six, but the earned much reputation for the Bennet family, they would have a bright
future. How could Felix let go such a rare talent?
"Grandpa, you even want to control Luke's life? Our family is good enough, what else do you want?
You are over 90, can you live in peace?"
After listening to Felix's words, Stella was angry, but she had had it under control.
How could grandpa be so selfish? Everyone had his own life. Even if Luke wanted to be a mason, it
was his own choice and he would enjoy it.
But his fate was in the hands of Felix. Even if the living conditions were superior, he would be
depressed.
Grandpa had controlled Brian, but he even wanted to control Luke, it was too much.
"What, what's wrong with ninety years old? You mean I won't be able to see Luke grow up?"
Felix wat not angry. He knew that his time was limited and he could not control the future of Luke. But
as long as he lived one day, he had to give advice for the future of the Bennet Group.
"Yes, you can, you can live to be more than a hundred years old. But even if you see him grow up, you
will be more than a hundred years old, do you still want to control his life? Since you can’t control him,
let him grow up freely."
Stella was speechless. How could grandpa go so far? Now he was old and had no energy to do
anything. Brian had the real power of the Bennet Group. If it wasn't for the respect to his grandfather,
Brian would have been out of control of him.
But Grandpa controlled Brian by using it.
"You've been worrying about the Bennet Group all your life. Don't worry about it now that you're old.
Brian runs the company well, you can rest assure."
Stella persuaded him. She felt that grandpa should let go and not interfere in anything.
"I was born for the Bennet Group, and I'm going to dedicate my life to it. Over my dead body would I let
go."
Felix's attitude was as usual. Even if he knew Stella was for his own good, he would never let go of the
Bennet Group.
"Alas...... Grandpa, I don't know what to say."
"If you insist, Winnie will suffer a lot. She was judged by people at work because of the two kids. Her
whole life has been ruined."
"She could have just left the kids with us. With her ability to work, many companies would want her,
why was she willingly be wronged to stay in our house?"
"Because she was kind, she was not selfish and devoted to the kids and Brian."
Stella used all methods and said all words, if her grandpa insisted, there was nothing she could do.
"Do you mean I am now kind?"
Felix was still not angry, and his voice sounded calm. Only when he talked to Stella, he would not lose
his temper.
Only when he talked to Stella did his temper break out.
"If you don’t give in and only use her, you are narrow-minded. You had no equality between people."
The implication was her grandpa was not kind.
Stella said boldly, but with euphemism. Although she knew that grandpa especially doted on her, she
never used it to disobey grandpa.
But today she had to say it so that her grandpa could think about it that the rich could not despise
others and control others.
After saying that, Stella took a glance at her grandfather, afraid her grandfather would be dizzy, afraid
that her grandpa’s blood pressure went soar. She added, as her grandfather frowned.
"Alas...... but I can barely understand, you grew up in the old society after all."
Stella save her grandpa's self-esteem, but it was ironic.
"You're mocking me. I grew up in the old society, I could not even have food to eat because we were
poor."
Felix was a clever person and for sure he knew that Stella was satirical to him. But Stella's words
evoked his recollection of suffering.
It was because these memories appeared in the mind, he learned Stella's irony and he did not get
angry.
"Grandpa, if you know how it feels to be poor, why do you care so much about family background now?
The society is different. Our family is already very good, and Brian has the ability to make the Bennet
Group even better. We don’t need help of other families.”
Stella spoke out boldly seeing that her grandpa was not angry.
She went too far today, but grandpa was not angry. Stella was confused, but she had to have a talk
with her grandpa since he was not angry.
"Grandpa, must we sacrifice Brian's personal happiness to help the Bennet Group? Must two innocent
kids bear all these? What the kids want was a home. I don't think you can be so cruel to deprive them
of happiness."
"And Winnie, she likes Brian, but she did nothing wrong. And as you can see, she is kind and sensible.
If other family has so excellent daughter-in-law, they will be so happy. If we lost her, it will be a great
loss."
Stella persuaded Felix taking the kids and Winnie as the center, to solve the problem as soon as
possible and end the suffering of Winnie. It was a shortcut, so Stella tried her best to persuade him.
In the past, grandpa refused to such a topic, and he would tell her not to talk about it.
However, from the time Luke won the prize to now, although grandpa had not changed his attitude, he
would not resist it.
Stella had been looking at her grandpa after saying her words. Felix frowned as if thinking, Stella could
not guess what he was thinking.
"Stella, didn't you advise me to allow Winnie to leave with two kids? You now want me to accept Winnie
now?"
Felix did not give his answer, but asked Stella.
