Now They Want My Forgiveness - Chapter 210: Chapter 210

Jordan replied, "Alright, I promise you."
Jordan brought Eleanor and Mary to his house and arranged rooms for both of them.
Eleanor smiled and said, "Jordan, you're so young and already able to buy a place like this. The future is looking bright for you."
Jordan didn't try to take all the credit for himself. He said, "It's really not just my achievement. Stella played a big part too. If I hadn't been lucky enough to meet her, I wouldn't have gotten this far so quickly."
Eleanor was amused. She said, "What does this have to do with Stella? Stop trying to sweet-talk me."
Jordan glanced at Stella and then added, "Eleanor, you might not know this, but the credit for our company's software goes entirely to Stella. I'm not much of a tech guy—I just handle the business side and the sales."
Eleanor was genuinely surprised and turned to look at Stella.
Jordan continued, "You have no idea how incredible Stella is. She developed the Apple when she was not even fifteen, just messing around with it for fun.
"Then I met her and asked if she could trust me. She just told me to do whatever I wanted with it. So I took her software and step by step, we got to where we are today. Her computer skills are seriously top-tier—world-class."
Eleanor had heard a thing or two, but she never pictured Stella being this remarkable.
Stella looked at Jordan with a helpless expression. She never realized he was so good at winning over Eleanor. Seeing both shock and pride on Eleanor's face, she honestly had no idea what to say.
"Stella, come here," Eleanor called out.
Stella walked over to Eleanor.
Eleanor took her hand and said, "I've always hated your parents for letting Anna take your place at Quentiham. You know how hard it is to get into Quentiham—so few people ever make it.
"When you came back, they said they'd find you a school, but they never followed through. It was all just talk. I wanted to help you, but I didn't have the connections. I've always felt so guilty, thinking they ruined your future.
"That's why I tried so hard to give you the shares early, so you could take over the company. I knew you had the talent, but I never imagined you'd be this amazing. I couldn't have predicted it.
"I always wondered where you got all that money from—so it was from this all along. Some things are lost and may never come back, but I truly believe your future will be bright."
Stella hugged Eleanor and said, "Grandma, that's all I need to hear. Just stay home and enjoy yourself. If you want to go out, let Mary go with you. From now on, let me take care of you."
Eleanor nodded and said, "Okay." She thought, 'Turns out it's true—gold really does shine no matter what. I am so proud that Stella had already started to shine years ago.
'It was precisely her intelligence that brought her back safe and sound. How wonderful!'
Mary stood off to the side, tears of joy streaming down her face. She thought, 'After all the hardships, things are finally looking up. From now on, life will only get better.'
Ever since Eleanor moved in, Jordan had been especially attentive to her. Every day, he would bring her something she liked to eat. At night, before bed, if Eleanor wasn't taking a bath, Jordan would even wash her feet for her.
Eleanor sang Jordan's praises every single day.
Stella waited until Eleanor had finally fallen asleep before she went to find Jordan.
Stella had weighed herself today—she was around 80 pounds now. She looked a lot more like her old self, though she still walked with a limp and wasn't sure if she'd ever fully recover.
"Jordan, you're really too good to my grandmother," Stella said.
