"Where do you want me to start with all these questions you're throwing at me?" Stefan asked dryly."Somewhere, Stefan." Dorothy folded her arms under her chest, staring at him impatiently.Stefan sighed and moved to sit on the bed. He pointed to the empty space beside him, signaling for Dorothy to sit. Dorothy rolled her eyes but sat beside him anyway."No, I have not been pretending about my injury, and yes, I don't want anyone to know I'm recovered. That's why I'm putting up an act now," Stefan answered her questions."But why are you hiding it? Isn't this something you should be happy about?" Dorothy asked, her face scrunching up in confusion."You're right, it is something to be happy about—and I am—but I still think I should keep it a secret for now. So, do me a favor and play along. Can you do that?" Stefan asked softly.Dorothy was silent for a moment before nodding. Stefan smiled a little and patted her hair."Thank you," he said."Why do you love doing that?" Dorothy asked.

Tasha smirked when she saw Dorothy sit opposite her, but her smirk immediately shifted to a worried, gentle expression—one that Dorothy found instantly unsettling."Dorothy, you're here already. I thought you weren’t going to show up, and I got anxious, so I ordered an orange juice before you what to you want some?," Tasha said, raising the glass of juice to Dorothy's face. She did so gently yet manipulatively and Dorothy knew she should be careful "Cut to the chase. What do you want from me?" Dorothy asked, her expression serious and unamused."Nothing, I promise. I just..." Tasha sniffled, opening her fancy little purse and pulling out a handkerchief to gently dab her teary eyes. "I just want to be close to my family again... I don’t want to fight anymore. And I’ve been thinking—you’re a good person. I shouldn’t have conspired with your mother to force you into marrying Stefan against your will," she said, crying.Dorothy stared at her, still feeling confused. "What do you want exa

"When did you—?" Kai had never looked this confused in his life. He stared at Griffin, hoping to see the same bewilderment reflected in his expression, but Griffin remained calm."We’ll answer all your questions later, Kai. Just do what Mr. Stefan said so we can find the young mistress in time," Griffin told him.Kai glanced between Stefan and Griffin before nodding and dashing out of the office. Stefan settled into his wheelchair while Griffin wheeled him out. They reached the car, and as Griffin drove, Stefan operated a small machine."I just found where the phone is," Stefan muttered.In a small, unkempt house, a familiar phone sat on the table, surrounded by some dangerous-looking equipment. A pair of black leather-clad legs crossed as someone sat on a worn-out chair. Chole stared at the phone, frowning."How do I get the stupid battery out? None of my tools seem to be working," she thought to herself, biting her fingers thoughtfully.Earlier, she had been eyeing Dorothy ever sinc

Dorothy bit her lip as she stared at Stefan. He looked so blank, so disappointed. He wouldn’t even talk to her."I shouldn’t have lied about where I was going. If I had told you, you wouldn’t have let me meet her. And the only reason I wanted to talk to her in the first place was because she’s still your mother," Dorothy mumbled. But Stefan showed no reaction. He just sat still in his armchair, watching her."I didn’t expect her to still have no good left in her," she continued. "She told me she wanted me to marry Tristan, but I told her that was absurd. I warned her to stay away from me.""She will never be a good person. She will never see me as her son, and I will never see her as my mother. Do your best to stay away from her," Stefan finally spoke, his voice firm. Dorothy couldn't help but nod.Stefan studied her for a few minutes. She stood there, playing with her fingers, looking so cute—like a child. It was strange because he had never found children cute before."Come here," h

Griffin stood in a corner, leaning against the wall with his hands in his pockets. Chloe stared at him, speechless for a few seconds."I'm going to pay you back," she mumbled.Griffin looked confused as he stared at her. "You want to pay me back? I thought you liked money?" he asked."Well, yes, I do love money, but this is just too much. I don’t want to believe this is real life. You're such a fool! Do you even know how much money that is?" she asked, her eyes wide.Griffin simply shrugged, looking nonchalant."Why are you out here? Shouldn't you be with your boss?" she asked again.Griffin sighed. "You love asking so many questions, don’t you?"Chloe rolled her eyes. "Why did you do this? What do you want from me?" she asked, then her eyes widened. "Don’t tell me you're in love with me already? You were the one who ditched me for some other girl."Griffin stared at her quietly for a moment before taking slow, deliberate steps toward her. His hands remained in his pockets, and his in

At Everest Stock Exchange, the company was busy as usual. Stefan had stepped out with Griffin for a business meeting, leaving Dorothy alone in the office.A knock sounded at the door before an unfamiliar yet stunningly well-dressed woman entered."You must be Mrs. Dorothy Everest. Nice to meet you," she said politely, extending her hand for a handshake.Dorothy was confused, but she had been taught to be polite, so she accepted the handshake."My name is Gloria. I work with Florida Designs," she introduced herself, showing Dorothy her ID card.Florida Designs. Who wouldn't know it? It was one of the top design companies in the world."Recently, Everest Stock Exchange partnered with us, and we were given orders from Mr. Stefan to take you on a tour so you can choose whatever you like. We'll also take your measurements to design a custom outfit for you based on your preferred style," Gloria explained.Dorothy was speechless until Kai entered the office."I would have accompanied her ins

Clarissa was furious when she got home. She threw her purse to the ground in frustration, and as if that wasn’t enough, she began picking up flower vases and hurling them against the wall. The maids stood watching, but none dared say a word."What is going on?" Agnes emerged from her room, looking confused. She glanced at the broken vases, then at Clarissa."Mom, it's that good-for-nothing, ungrateful Dorothy! She humiliated me today!" Clarissa screamed.Agnes walked toward her cautiously."Do you want to sit and talk about it?" she asked gently, taking Clarissa’s hand and leading her to the couch. As she walked away, she turned to a maid and gestured for her to clean up the mess Clarissa had made.Once they were seated, Agnes rubbed Clarissa's back soothingly, waiting for her to calm down before speaking."I was shopping at Florida’s Designs, one of my usual places, and I bumped into that slut! She was with another man, and they were shopping together," Clarissa began angrily. "I ask

"You've got to be kidding me!" Clarissa exclaimed, her eyes widening as she took in her surroundings. She stood in front of a small, shabby-looking house, unable to believe her eyes as she analyzed everything."Please tell me this isn't where we'll be living now. Mom, of all the houses out there, is this really the best you could afford?" she complained, clearly displeased."This is what we can afford," Agnes replied with a shrug."You're kidding, Mom. Tell me you're kidding!" Clarissa refused to accept that this was her new home. Even the security guards back then when they still lived at the Florence household, had a better place than this.Clarissa wondered how low she had stooped, ger life was practically over, and she blamed Dorothy for it."Maybe if you had left the Florence household when I told you to, you wouldn’t have gone to jail. I wouldn’t have spent forever trying to fix things, and I could’ve found us a better place than this," Agnes said, rolling her eyes."Mom, why ar

The next morning, in Stefan's mansion, he watched as Dorothy packed everything she would need. Today was the day she was leaving for school."Alright, I'm set," Dorothy informed him once she was done."I didn’t see you take any of my clothes. You should take them, love, because what if you get cold and need someone to hold? I’m sure my shirt would fit into that space," Stefan said.Dorothy smiled and walked closer to him, standing between his legs and resting her arms on his shoulders."I already took plenty of your clothes, love," she said."Oh? Then did you take—""Everything, love. I took everything," Dorothy cut him off, giving him a knowing smile. She knew Stefan wished she didn’t have to leave—she wished the same—but there wasn’t much choice. She had to go."Seems like you're fully prepared. I wish I could go with you, but I can't leave the company," Stefan sighed. "Your ride will be here in the next five minutes. I wish I could take you one more time.""Stefan, five minutes? An
The Grumpy Ceo's Sweetheart Chapter 53: The Cockroach Encounter
Police Station.Clarissa looked like she hadn't slept all night. The room was dark, the ground dirty and cold. She squeezed herself against the bars, crying loudly—simply because a cockroach was crawling toward her."Someone get me out of here!" she cried, banging on the cell door in sheer panic. The cockroach kept moving forward."Ahhhhhhh... Mummyyyyy!!!" Clarissa screamed even louder."Can you keep it down? You're not the only one sleeping here tonight," a chunky woman with a groggy voice grumbled angrily.She had been in the cell when they brought Clarissa in. Judging by the way Clarissa was dressed, she knew this was her first time here."Who are you to tell me to be quiet when that disgusting animal is coming toward me?" Clarissa retorted rudely.The woman smirked and stood up. "Woman, it's just a cockroach. Haven't you seen one before?" she asked with a curious look."Take a good look at me. Do I look like someone who should be anywhere near this filthy creature? Look at you—it
The Grumpy Ceo's Sweetheart Chapter 52: Kicked Out of the Florence Household
Two days laterSomeone knocked on the door repeatedly, the sound growing louder every second. Clarissa was getting sick of it. She slipped on her expensive dress and sunglasses before going to open the door. Standing at the doorstep were two unfamiliar men accompanied by the family butler."Miss Clarissa, I'm surprised you and your mother are still here. I expected you both to have packed up by now," the butler said.Clarissa burst out laughing. "You were serious about giving this house to charity?" Her expression made it clear she didn’t believe him."Miss, these are the founders of the Mary Jane Orphanage Organization" He introduced her to the men. "We've already finalized everything, and they are taking possession of the house," the butler replied.Clarissa looked at him like he was joking. "This is my family's house. It has existed for decades, and you think I'd give it up for charity?""Baby, let's just go," Agnes said tiredly from behind. She had already packed everything they n
The Grumpy Ceo's Sweetheart Chapter 51: We Are Not Apologizing
Agnes could swear that she almost fainted, but Clarissa caught her immediately."Charity? Are you out of your mind!?" Clarissa screamed, and Dorothy responded with a nonchalant shrug."I don't want anything from that man, and both of you already got fifteen percent. Why don’t we just give the orphanage the house, money, and car? They’ll really need it," Dorothy said dryly."I agree," Stefan nodded.Clarissa gritted her teeth, flying toward Dorothy and attempting to slap her, but Dorothy was quick enough to throw her own slap first. Clarissa, who hadn’t been slapped by anyone in a long time, couldn’t believe how much it hurt."You and Agnes should be ashamed! You know what your father did to me, right? I'm not related to you, not even by blood. For years, you made me believe you were doing me a favor, but your father killed my family just to take me. Now, what have I done to deserve any of that?" Dorothy screamed with teary eyes.Stefan, who was standing beside her, moved forward and g

The next morning, Mason stood by his car with Griffin, his hands in his pants pockets, watching as the guards searched for the basement key."So incompetent. Mr. Stefan just left you people with one job!" Kai said, shaking his head in disappointment.The guards had no idea how to explain what had happened. They had all strangely fallen asleep and could only hope that the lady was still in the basement, or else Stefan would not take kindly to them.One of the guards spotted the key on the floor, his face lighting up with happiness. "I found it!" he exclaimed, picking it up and rushing to open the door. As the door swung open, the guards began coughing.They pushed through the dust, their smiles fading when they found Emily lying lifeless on the ground. Her body looked shriveled and dried up.The guards murmured in confusion. None of them had received an order from Stefan to kill anyone, so they wondered who had done it. Meanwhile, Stefan looked up, troubled, watching from where he stoo

The Grumpy Ceo's Sweetheart Chapter 49: Meeting With VitMed President
Dorothy squinted her eyes open, where Stefan sat in front of her with an offended look playing on his face."Is everything alright?" Dorothy asked, noticing Stefan’s long face."It’s just your family keeps coming, trying to convince you to go home so they can read the family will," Stefan replied.Dorothy sighed, wondering why they hadn’t given up yet. If they wanted to read the family will, then she would be fine if they read it without her. Even if she inherited anything, she wouldn’t accept it.She suddenly thought of something. "I’ll go home," she told Stefan out of the blue."Why?" Stefan asked, his face a picture of confusion."Since they won’t leave me alone, I’ll go," she replied."Love, if you’re going there, then you must let me come with you. I can’t let you go to that family alone," Stefan said. He didn’t agree with her plan of going, but he knew she had something in mind, so he wouldn’t stop her."Sure, Stefan, you can come with me," Dorothy replied softly.Stefan removed
The Grumpy Ceo's Sweetheart Chapter 48: Are You Choosing Stefan Over Me?
In a dark, cold, dusty basement, a woman sat with her hands tied behind her back. She looked tired and weak, having not eaten for days. The long door slowly creaked open, and light filled the room—it was the first light she had seen in days, almost blinding her.Footsteps approached her. A tall, familiar figure stood before her. He was not happy."What is your offense?" he asked with a dry expression.Shalom's heart pounded with fear. "Please... I didn't mean to do it. I was just angry and wanted my revenge," she cried."Revenge for what exactly? What did my wife ever do to you to make you want to kill her?" Stefan asked, and Shalom cried even harder.Stefan smirked and crouched beside her. "Your real name is not Shalom," he said. She gave him a surprised look, wanting to shake her head and deny it, but the fear gripping her body betrayed her.All this while, she had worked with Stefan, always overlooking him because of his disabilities. She had thought he was useless, incapable of do
