Chapter 154
[ 618 words ]
The last comment was dripping with sarcasm, the thickest yet.
Jaxon’s face turned a furious shade of green on the spot. If he could, he would’ve shut it down once and for all, leaving her no chance of strutting around like now.
At the moment, Jaxon had no desire to engage in this infuriating exchange with Stella, “Mom was carried out from your place, what did you do?”
“Take a guess.”
Compared to Jaxon’s rage, Stella’s tone was utterly nonchalant. Her words were like a thorn stinging Jaxon’s already frayed nerves.
“That’s our mom. Riding on the coattails of a capable man, have you lost all basic decency and respect for your elders?”
Stella barely lifted her eyelids to glance at him, “Sorry, not anymore.”
These people dared to lecture her on decency? Did they even know what that meant?
Jaxon’s breath deepened as he heard this, “What did you say?”
Stella nonchalantly picked up the glass of water in front of her and took a sip.
“In less than an hour after you leave this place, the news of her signing the disownment agreement will be all over Portis City.
By then, everyone will know you’ve cut ties with me. All these years, you and Ursula acted as if I was competing for Mom’s affection. Don’t worry, I’m not that interested.”
Cutting all ties, henceforth, they shared neither honor nor disgrace.
When she first returned, Ursula stirred up so much trouble, all because she was afraid Stella would take the Larkins from her. And Jaxon, even more ridiculous, was scared she’d take away the pathetic, pitiful love for Ursula. As if she cared!
Jaxon couldn’t believe his ears; he absolutely refused to believe it. “What disownment agreement? You really want to cut ties with us?”
Jaxon slammed his hand down on the desk. That slap on the desk sent tingles throughout his body.
Stella gave him a cold glance, “I have nothing to do with the Larkins anymore. Who are you here yelling at me?”
“You…” Jaxon’s breath deepened.
Stella said, “Do you even know what ‘right’ means? To me, the Larkins are nothing now, you have no right. So, I’d advise you to get out of here right now, or else…”
She paused, then stood up, leaning on the desk before vaulting over it to land in front of him, her movements graceful yet efficient.
Stella crossed her arms, “Know how Yorick got his hand and leg injured?”
“You did it?”
“No, but I could.”
“You’re going to hit me?” Jaxon asked.
Before he could finish his sentence, his face took a solid punch.
Jaxon’s head buzzed from the pain! His mouth filled with the taste of blood; touching it, he found he was bleeding, and a tooth felt loose. “Stella!” furious, Jaxon roared at her.
But then, Stella’s fist was coming at his face again. He instinctively tried to grab her wrist, only to didn’t even have the

disdainfully wiped her wrist that he had grabbed.
“Dare to yell in my face again, and I guarantee you won’t be leaving here on your feet today. Remember, once the disownment agreement is signed, I have nothing to do with the

“I’m your bro…”
“Hmm?”
The word “brother” was cut off halfway by Stella’s dangerous tone, forcing Jaxon to swallow the rest of his sentence.
It was then he remembered, Stella had never considered him brother.
Jaxon, chest heaving with rage, barely managed to stand up straight.
“You’ll pay for today’s actions!” he spat out the words venomously.
However, the next moment, the office door swung open.
Ronald stood in the doorway, an icy aura enveloping him, “And what price do you wish her to pay?”
His voice was light, but the oppressive atmosphere it brought was unmistakable.
