Chapter 63
[ 493 words ]
At the Orient Nexus Building.
Stella stepped out of the conference room, only to be immediately approached by Tabitha, “Boss, we’ve got trouble.”
“What kind of trouble?”
“Somebody’s out for blood.”
Stella raised an eyebrow, giving Tabitha a look.
Tabitha went on, “The Larkins are spreading the word to every big and small business – nobody’s to hire you. We got the news too.”
Stella didn’t reply, a hint of coldness flickering in her eyes.
She narrowed her eyes slightly, a smirk gradually playing at her lips, “Huh, fine.”
“So, are you gonna hit back?”
Tabitha was well aware of Stella’s position at the Larkin family and thought their actions were utterly despicable.
To go this far against their own flesh and blood, all for a stepdaughter, what kind of family did that?
Absolutely detestable!
Stella shrugged, “Hit back? No need.”
Someone else would take care of them.
After all, considering Ursula’s terminal illness, she didn’t want to waste her energy on them anymore. If they left her alone, she was content with living in peace. But it seemed the Larkins thought their life was too peaceful.
Well, if they thought so, then she would…
A hint of scorn flashed in Stella’s eyes as she thought this and headed towards her office.
Suddenly, a voice from the reception caught her attention, “Mr. Patel? What brings you here? Is there any project to entrust to our studio?”
Stella looked over to see Jeremy and Sirena stepping in.
Jeremy, visibly irritated and having spotted Stella, strode over quickly. He even snapped at Sirena behind him, “Hurry up.”
Seeing the two approach, Stella frowned.
Before she could react, Jeremy, with
Sirena in tow, was already th

her,
Can we talk?”
He glanced around. The studio wasn’t large, but it was decently sized for a small business, bustling with activity.
Jeremy gazed at Stella, “Somewhere quiet?”
Jeremy making a house call meant Stella wasn’t about to snub him.
She nodded, “Follow me.”
She turned and led them straight to her office.
Once inside, Stella casually gestured towards the sofa, “Have a seat.”
Then, she took her place behind her desk and told Tabitha, who was entering, “Two cups of…”
Pausing, she looked at Sirena, “You’re picky, probably won’t like our coffee, right?”
Sirena was completely taken aback. Seeing Stella’s position behind the desk reminded her of every visit to Jeremy’s company.
Why was Stella sitting there? What was happening?
Seeing Sirena speechless, Stella turned to Tabitha, “Just one coffee then.”
“Right away, boss.” Tabitha nodded and left.
Jeremy had already taken a seat, while Sirena stood there, dumbfounded.
Stella took a sip from her water glass, “What do you need, Mr. Patel?” Jeremy paused, a bit taken aback himself.
However, unlike Sirena, having been
through various situations at the
Patel Group over the years, he
quickly figured out Stella’s rote here.
It made sense – the woman who could infuriate Ronald was hardly one ending up searching for jobs.
He shot a vicious glare at the still-petrified Sirena, and then softened his tone slightly towards Stella, “About last night, Sirena was out of line. I’ve brought her here to apologize to you.” FindNovel
