“What are you doing? Stella, are you trying to hit someone?” Although Old Mrs Walton was almost eighty years old, she still looked tough.
This is, of course, thanks to Night. It was the medicine that Night often prescribed to her that made her feel so good.
Five years ago, she almost didn’t make it through.
“Grandma, I don’t have the guts to.” Stella felt remorseful because she didn’t want to offend the two people she feared the most in the world. The first was Hurley, and the second was Esther Walton.
“Sophie, are you alright? Did Stella bully you? Grandma will take care of her!” The old lady recognised Sophie at a glance.
For some reason, she just felt that this child had some connection with her.
Before, she had only seen her photo from Mr Hades. Now that she saw her physically, Mrs Walton liked Sophie very much.
What a beautiful girl, like a flower, and
thewry smart.
“Hello, ma.” For a moment, Sophie’s eyes were a little wet.
Five years ago, Grandma held her hand and said, “If Stella bullies you, tell Grandma, Grandma will support you.”
“Grandma, do you know her?” Stella didn’t expect even Hurley to have helped Sophie. But how could even Grandma know her?
“Who I know or don’t, do I need to tell you?” Esther didn’t look towards Stella either.
She had always known that her granddaughter was spoilt and lacked a proper upbringing. She had been arrogant and overbearing, but she refused to be sensible as she grew, and she did not know how much trouble she had caused.
Moreover, what kind of good person would be with someone like Matilda, who lacked friends?
The old lady’s disgust towards Matilda has reached the point where she feels disgusted just by looking at her.
Her eldest grandson was destroyed at the hands of Matilda.
So she couldn’t just watch Hurley jump into the fire pit. As long as she was with her, Matilda would not even consider entering the Walton family!
“Grandma, it is clear that she bullied me just now. Grandma, look at my face because she hit me!” Stella showed the
affected side of her face.
Her skin was fair, so the red slap mark was evident, and it was redder than her eyes.
Stella thought her misfortunes would elicit some sympathy from her Grandma, but her Grandma said, “You deserve

it!”
“Grandma! How can you support an outsider?” Stella always knew that her Grandma didn’t like her, but it still made her feel sad that her Grandma was supporting Sophie.
“Sophie is not an outsider!” That is her future granddaughter–in–law. She would not allow anyone to bully her granddaughter–in–law.
“Stella, let me warn you, no matter who instigates you, you are not allowed to cause trouble for Sophie in the future.”
When Sophie saw Esther Walton, her eyes were filled with tears.
Esther did not know that she was Cersei or what had happened, yet she unconditionally supported and helped her.
Esther’s words meant something. She didn’t mention Matilda, but it was clear that she was referring to Matilda.
In the presence of her, Esther, Matilda still had to maintain her image, and she just smiled stiffly.
“Stella, I have to leave now.”
Stella quickly followed, “Matilda, wait for me!”
After Matilda and Stella left, the place became much quieter.
Sophie looked at the old lady in surprise, “Grandma, why are you here?”
“I haven’t introduced myself yet.” The old lady said seriously, “I’m Hurley’s Grandmother, and I…”
Esther was so cute. Sophie couldn’t help but smile. “I know who you are, Ma. With such a good temperament, you must be my grandfather’s friend!”
