Chapter 61

[ 537 words ]

On the other end, Sirena was so furious she felt her head throbbing.

If Jeremy wasn’t right there watching her like a hawk, she would’ve definitely picked a fight with Stella over the phone.

But with Jeremy standing right there, she didn’t dare. She swallowed her rage, “I apologize to you.”

“What? You apologize?”

Stella was even more convinced she had heard wrong.

Sirena apologizing? That seemed too good to be true. Every time she spotted Stella, it seemed like Sirena was ready to throw down.

Sirena was infamously loyal to Ursula just because of Jaxon. Whatever Jaxon disliked, she disliked. Whatever he liked, she suddenly liked too.

In short, she was utterly brainless!

“Yes, I apologize. Where are you?”

Now Stella was sure she had heard right.

“Why are you apologizing?”

“For a lot of reasons. Just, please forgive me, okay?”

Stella was speechless.

Apologizing for many reasons and asking for forgiveness even?

“Why do I get the feeling that you’re not really looking to apologize, but rather you’re itching for a fierce fight?”

Was this really an apology?

Or was this a challenge to a showdown?

Under normal circumstances, Stella would have been more than ready to confront her, but not now. She had her major client’s project that needed all-night attention. Sirena stamped her foot in frustration, “I really came to apologize. Now, tell me where you are.”

Stella rejected, “I’m not falling for your tricks. Go play your games somewhere else.”

With that, she hung up.

Sirena was dumbfounded when she heard the call end abruptly.

Turning to Jeremy, who had been watching the whole scene with a cold gaze, she said, “She just…”

“Whatever it takes, you have to get her forgiveness.”

“Why, though? You heard it too, she doesn’t care about my apology.”

Was their collaboration really that important?

Jeremy insisted, “Whether she cares or not is her business, but she must forgive you.”

It was crucial because if Stella didn’t forgive her, the deal with Mr. Quinn could fall through. Thinking about it made Jeremy feel like he was going insane.

What a mess!

Sirena, under pressure, dialed Stella’s number again, only to be blacklisted!

“She blocked me.”

“Use mine.”

Jeremy handed his phone to Sirena.

Reluctantly, and not daring to defy the current head of the Patel family, she took the phone and called Stella.

As soon as Stella answered, Sirena began, “I really am trying to apologize.”

Before she could finish, the call was ended.

Trying again, she found that number had been blacklisted as well.

Hearing the cold tone of the automated message, Jeremy felt his headache worsened, “What’s with her?”

Blocking people so casually, was that really okay?

Little did they know, in the past few

days, both the Larkin family and Yorick had been getting Stella’s same treatment. One moment of inattention, and it was impossible to get in touch with her.

“So wayward, who spoiled her this much?”

This was driving him mad.

Sirena remarked, “Who could spoil her? Probably grew up wild in the countryside? You see, that’s how untamed she is.” “Shut up!”

Jeremy was fuming. Immediately, he called his assistant Harper, “You, find out where Stella is right now.”

Harper, with her tidy bob cut, nodded seriously, “Got it.”

“I want her location in half an hour.”

Jeremy was clearly not in a good mood. He knew all too well how

many people were eyeing what net
