Eleanor's face turned livid that Max would think that way about his own sister, Stella.
"Let me make this clear. Anna isn't going to die, and Stella didn't do it. Believe it or not, no one will ever hand Stella over to the police again. Anyone who dares try will find themselves in police custody instead."
Eleanor's unyielding stance left Max speechless. Finally, before leaving, Max warned, "Grandma, when Stella turns against you, you'll live to regret it."
"Hmph!" Eleanor scoffed at Max's retreating figure.
Now, the house was quiet with only Eleanor, Stella, and Kevin remaining.
Eleanor sighed, "Kevin, you've seen how things are for Stella in this house. Before, they used underhanded tactics, but now they're not even pretending anymore. I told her to leave, but she won't. She stays because she doesn't want to leave me behind.
"I could go with her, but those people would surely come after us. They're like madmen, dead set on getting us."
Kevin remained silent.
Her heart aching, Eleanor gazed at Stella. "The whole point of bringing her back was so she could finally recuperate properly, but not once has she had the chance."
"Grandma, what if we take Stella away for a while?" Kevin suggested.
Eleanor shook her head. "She won't agree to that." She knew her own health condition too well. Stella would never leave her side.
But what worried Eleanor most was the terrifying thought that Stella might lose her life even before she herself passed away.
"What should we do then?" Kevin really wanted to help.
Eleanor sighed, "I don't know either. This trouble Anna stirred up this time definitely won't blow over easily. Let's see what they're up to before we make any moves."
Kevin nodded. After having lunch with Eleanor and Stella, he left in the afternoon.
Just then, Andrew and Max trudged back, looking utterly exhausted. The moment they spotted Eleanor and Stella lounging on the sofa watching TV, Andrew was instantly infuriated and strode over to switch off the television.
Eleanor shot Andrew a glare. "What do you think you're doing?"
Andrew snapped, "Mom, Anna is in the hospital fighting for her life. How can you just sit here watching TV like nothing's wrong?"
Eleanor shot back sharply, "Why shouldn't I? Stella's had countless close calls, and none of you seemed to care then. What, do you think she's some kind of fragile doll? Stella's still standing strong here. So what could possibly happen to Anna?"
"Mom, how can you say something so heartless?"
"You think I'm heartless? Look at yourselves. The way you treat Stella is exactly how I'll treat Anna." After Eleanor finished speaking, her face icy cold, she demanded, "Turn on the TV."
Andrew kept glaring at her.
Eleanor couldn't care less. She turned the TV back on and kept watching.
Andrew was seething with rage, his fists clenched, but in the end, he held himself back.
Max was fuming. He couldn't stand seeing Andrew act like this. He switched off the TV and snapped at Eleanor, "Grandma, the scene you caused at the buffet yesterday has gone public. Now our company is in crisis."
Eleanor's peaceful TV time was over. "Me, making a fuss? If you hadn't pulled that stunt, would any of this have happened? You should've seen this coming long ago."
"Grandma, you and Grandpa built this company from the ground up. How can you just wash your hands of it all now?"
"Enough. I'm done with this mess and won't lift a finger to help. Sort it out yourselves," Eleanor declared coldly.
