Chapter 453

[ 574 words ]

Back then, when Blaise noticed the moves Ronald made against the Larkin Group, he thought he could pull out in time. He believed that by withdrawing all his money and starting afresh, severing ties with the Larkin Group, he could avoid any fallout.

Little did he know, every road was blocked. If the issues with his new company weren’t resolved soon, everything would go down the drain, leaving him with nothing.

Stella, catching wind of this, turned to Blaise. “So?”

Her voice was as cold as ice, devoid of any warmth.

Blaise replied, “Get Mr. Quinn to stop, it’s enough.”

With everything that had happened, the whole Larkin family was in shambles. The cost, he figured, was high enough.

Hearing Blaise say “it’s enough,” Stella shot him a glance, her face unmoved. “If you put it that way, yes, it is enough.”

Blaise’s face lit up at her words. “Really? Star, I’ve been thinking a lot about everything that happened. Your mom wasn’t really at fault. Ursula was always by her side. You don’t know, Ursula was such a good kid.”

Stella still remained silent.

“From a young age, she was sensible, polite, and always cared for the family. That’s why your mom couldn’t help but favor her when things went down. She really…”

“But what can be done?” Stella, lacking patience for this conversation, cut Blaise off mid-sentence. Blaise was left puzzled. What did that mean?

Stella continued, “I can’t make decisions for my brother.”

Blaise’s eyelids twitched fiercely at her response. What did she mean she couldn’t make decisions?

“I can’t help with your new company,” Stella stated.

Blaise’s hope was shattered ruthlessly by Stella’s harsh words.

With a cold smile, Stella instructed the driver, “Let’s go.”

“Star, you can’t just… I’m still your…”

But before Blaise could finish, Stella rolled up the window. The tinted glass concealed her from view. Standing there, Blaise felt a chill run through his body.

What was he supposed to do now?

Thinking back to Stella’s icy demeanor, he realized how far from grace he’d fallen.

It was all Cloudia’s fault. Everything was because Cloudia couldn’t handle the conflicts between the younger generation, leading to this mess.

The phone buzzed in his pocket, and Blaise absentmindedly pulled it out. Seeing Cloudia’s name on the screen only fueled his anger further.

He answered, but before he could speak, Cloudia’s voice came through, surprisingly calm. “I need to see you.”

Over the past months, whether it was about his new life or Ursula, their conversations were always on edge. This sudden calmness was something he hadn’t experienced in a long time.

Blaise held his temper in check, responding in a low voice, “What is it?”

“It’s Everglen Isle, isn’t it?”

Blaise uttered, “What?”

Cloudia continued, “You’ve got that woman stashed away at the villa on Everglen Isle, haven’t you?”

As she spoke, the calmness in her voice disappeared, replaced by a furious roar. All her pent-up emotion exploded in that moment.

Even through the phone, Blaise

could sense Cloudia’s seething rage.

Already frustrated from his

encounter with Stella, Blaise

snapped back, “Cloudia, we’re done.”

She dared to seek out at Everglen Isle – what new chaos was she planning? There was nothing left to discuss between them.

Cloudia questioned, “What did you just say?”

Blaise retorted, “If you dare go after her, there’ll be hell to pay.”

With that, he hung up. In Blaise’s

mind, Stella’s change in attitude was a direct result of Cloudia’s past

inability to manage the issues between her and Ursula.

And now Cloudia dared to create more problems for him? He was still looking for an outlet for his anger.
