Chapter 64
[ 489 words ]
When Stella heard the words, she lazily lifted her eyelids to glance at Sirena.
“Really?”
Jeremy nodded, “Yes.”
As the two exchanged words, and Sirena still hadn’t snapped back to reality, Jeremy, frustrated, kicked her.
The kick caught Sirena off guard, sending her tumbling onto the carpet.
As she lifted her head, her eyes met Stella’s, engulfing her in utter embarrassment. Especially in front of Stella, someone she had always looked down upon. “Jeremy, what was that for?” Sirena glared at Jeremy, who simply shot her a chilling look, snapping her back to the reason they were here in the first place. Her breathing became erratic. Turning back to Stella, she saw nothing but mockery in her gaze.
Sitting in the executive chair, Stella appeared almost regal.
Sirena’s previous taunts towards Stella flashed through her mind, contrasting sharply with her current predicament, making her feel utterly foolish. What was her role here? The boss? Could this place actually belong to her?
Struggling to her feet, she didn’t apologize right away but instead challenged, “What are you doing here? Let me tell you, Stella, you better stop pretending…” “Sirena!”
Jeremy’s icy interruption was a clear warning.
Biting back her frustration, Sirena reluctantly muttered, “Sorry!”
“Louder,” Jeremy growled.
Sirena, startled by the outburst, glanced at Stella again before reluctantly murmuring a louder with her head bowed, “Sorry.”
She had shown up and apologized. That should be the end of it, she thought.
But then Jeremy’s tone dropped even colder, “Anything else?”
Anything else?
Sirena recalled Jeremy’s words before their visit.
Clearly, this trip was not just about apologizing to Stella but also securing her forgiveness.
Facing Stella’s mocking gaze, Sirena felt her rage bubbling up inside.
Could Stella possibly forgive her in her current state?
No matter.
Closing her eyes, Sirena asked, “Can you forgive me?”
The words pained Sirena to her core. She thought, if Stella were smarte enough, seeing that her brother of such stature had accompanied her here, she would know to let bygones be bygones. en FindNovel
But Stella put down her glass of water, ignoring Sirena, and raised an eyebrow at Jeremy.
“Mr. Patel, your sister seems to have quite the backbone. Do you think she’s sincerely seeking my forgiveness?” “You…”
Sirena’s anger flared at Stella’s words.
Stella’s gaze remained on Jeremy, “Mr. Patel?”
Jeremy’s expression cooled, his gaze landing on Sirena, who hadn’t apologized sincerely. His tone, daced with danger and warning, intensified,
“You have one last changed,
Sirena went silent. Hearing this, her heart sank further.
Facing Stella now, she was overwhelmed by a deep sense of humiliation, and it stung.
So, she was being humiliated, wasn’t she? Then, she’d make sure Stella wouldn’t have it easy with the Larkins.

Looking around the luxurious office and at Stella, dressed in designer business attire, Sirena realized why she had dismissed the Larkins’ warnings these past days. Looked like she didn’t need a dime from them after all.
