Queen of Wild Cards novel Chapter 205

Orville looked at his frustrated grandson, actually feeling quite amused. He never thought he'd see the day his prized heir got knocked down a peg.

"She was recommended by an old acquaintance of mine. I honestly don't know her true identity."

"Oh." So that was a dead end!

Whatever. She'd be back in two days. He would see if she was still in her drab disguise then, and try to figure out why she was putting on this act.

"Grandpa, Grandma, Mom, I'm heading to the office."

With that, he left. He had only stayed home today to get a better look at her, yet he hadn't even managed to get her phone number.

If Julius Blackwood or Vernon Lowell ever found out about this, they would laugh him out of the room.

Next time she came, he was definitely getting her contact info!

But to his immense frustration, when Stella showed up for her third visit, he still struck out.

Two days later, Stella arrived at the estate at the same time as before.

She looked slightly less tacky this time, wearing a simple white tee tucked into a pair of jeans, showing off a surprisingly good figure. However, her face was still covered in fake breakouts, hidden behind the same thick-rimmed glasses.

After finishing the final acupuncture session, she told Orville, "Your lingering effects are completely gone. From now on, just watch your diet. Keep it low in fat, sugar, and salt. Eat light, get plenty of fruits and vegetables, and avoid alcohol and smoking."

"Haha, alright, alright. I'll remember that. Thank you, Little Star."

"Okay, I'll be going now."

Orville called out to her, "Wait, Little Star. As a token of our gratitude, our family has prepared a few gifts for you. Just a moment."

"Grandpa Orville, you already paid me two days ago. There's no need for anything else."

She had checked the bank card he gave her—it held a staggering ten million.

"It's just exchanging contacts. What are you so afraid of?"

"I'm not afraid of anything. I won't take the gifts because I've already been paid. And I won't give you my number because I am simply not interested in you. Stop making this difficult."

Orville could clearly see that the girl genuinely had zero interest in his grandson.

"Steward, if Little Star doesn't want them, don't force her. She came out of the goodness of her heart to heal an old man like me. Don't make things awkward for her over something so trivial."

Steward replied unwillingly, "Fine."

He still hadn't gotten her number. It was incredibly frustrating.

"I'm leaving now. Goodbye, everyone."

Orville added, "Little Star, come visit us whenever you're free. I only asked Steward to get your number so you'd have someone to call if you ever needed help in the future.
