Chapter 153
[ 573 words ]
“You, you, you’re unbelievable.” Cloudia couldn’t catch her breath. She was so furious that she fainted. Stella calmly dialed the in-house phone to Tabitha, “Call an ambulance, someone’s passed out.”
“What? Passed out?”
Cloudia passed out? She seemed so sturdy, to faint here, was she trying to pull a fast one on the boss?
“I’m on it.”
A scam?
Not on Tabitha’s watch.
She dialed 911 and made a few follow-up calls, getting an ambulance there in just over ten minutes. In a haze of concern, Cloudia was whisked away by the ambulance.
Tabitha returned, her face a picture of discomfort.
“Boss, she might have a heart condition, maybe steer clear of such folks in the future, just in case they try to pull something.”
Relations were already strained, and if the other party harbored any ideas of deception, it would be quite the headache. And given the kind of people they were, scamming Stella seemed entirely plausible. Stella uttered, “Heart condition? She just got irritated.”
“What?”
“By me!”
Tabitha was like, “…”
Well, to get someone that worked up, just how ruthless was the boss?
But thinking of what the Larkin family did to Stella, Tabitha felt it was deserved. They might as well drop dead for all she cared.
Stella instructed, “Enough with the schadenfreude, I’ve got a task for you, I’ve sent the details to your email.”
Saying this, Stella handed Tabitha the information Idris had found, including an address and a phone number.
“Print this out and mail it to this address.”
Jaxon sure was generous, probably because of the child that woman bore him, he had set her up in a nice place – a villa community. The file clearly stated that the woman now had a personal driver, and Jaxon was spending a good deal on her. Except for not granting her the title of Mrs. Larkin, it seemed he provided everything else.
Tabitha accepted, “Got it.”
…
Cloudia had been overwhelmed by anger. Then Yorick and Jaxon would definitely make trouble for Stella.
No sooner had Tabitha left than she returned to report, “Boss, Jaxon Larkin is here.”
At the mention of Jaxon, Tabitha’s voice was noticeably contemptuous. She must have seen the file.
A man, playing the field. Though many men did, it was that minority that were particularly despicable.
Stella answered, “Let him in. And add that woman on Twitter, send her a snippet.”
“Got it.”
Tabitha understood Stella’s intention.
These people had too much idle
time if they were bothering her; i et
they wouldn’t let her live in peace, she’d make sure their worlds were turned upside down.
As Tabitha turned and left, Jaxon entered, his face stormy.
It had been days! In those days, although he hadn’t fully grasped the extent of the man behind Stella, he had felt their influence.
Especially recalling StarRiver Corp.’s words, ‘Her partnership? We can’t and wouldn’t dare to break it.’
And that wasn’t all, they had StarRiver Corp., such a huge
าวนา
vel
, claiming they t
dare break off their partnership with Stella.
Who would believe that?
That last ‘And you are?’ was not just arrogant but hinted at the power backing Stella.
Was that man cherishing her so much?
It made all their plans against Stella fall through.
He had thought she was an easy
target, but she turned out to beet
prickly chestnut. Attempting to grasp her barehanded only got him at handful of thorns.
Jaxon, seething with anger, pulled out a chair and sat down, “You’re quite something, we all underestimated you.”
Stella replied, “Weren’t you saying you’d shut down my studio? It’s been a couple of days, yet I’ve seen no move from you.”
