After Rebirth She Strikes Back (Simone) novel Chapter 119

Chapter 119

Ever since the Spence Group rebranded as Simone Entertainment, Norah and Stella si:

started frequently moving their assets around.

They even kept Samuel in the dark and secretly got back in touch with Gunnar, whom they hadn’t spoken to in ages.

Gunnar used to be a piano teacher, but after some incident, Samuel sent him overseas, where Gunnar started dabbling in business.

A few years back, Gunnar entered the cosmetic surgery industry but failed, accumulating debt. Later, someone mysteriously paid his debts and cleared his online reputation. With his reputation restored, Gunnar then returned to music abroad and became prominent in the international pano scene.

As soon as he heard the Spence family had collapsed, Gommar rushed back to the country.

Now, with arms around Norah and Stella, Gunnar was picking out jewelry for them at the most luxurious mall in Sogin. Gunnar looked at his daughter with a gentle, doting smile and said, “Stella, tell Daddy what you like. I’ll buy it for you.”

“Thank you. Daddy, Stella replied sweetly, flashing Gunnar a bright smile.

Stella couldn’t take her eyes off the sparkling jewelry in the display case. In that moment, she felt like she’d finally come back to life.

Since the Spence family went bankrupt, Samuel had forced Stella to sell off all her designer clothes, bags, and jewelry for money and deposit every penny into a bank account. Stella wasn’t allowed to spend money on fun and hadn’t bought anything luxurious in ages

Stella thought, “Samuel was such a useless loser, always making me suffer. Gunnar was so much better; thank goodness he was my real dad. Otherwise, who know how miserable my life would have been

Just thinking about how she could go back to being the Wilde family’s heiress, living a life of extravagance, made Stella practically giddy. Stella thought, I really was born lucky

Gunnar ruffled Stella’s hair affectionately, then turned to Norah, handed her a card and said, “You too, pick out whatever you like. I’ve got plenty of money, and I can take care of you.”

“Thank you, honey. You’re the best Norah said, her eyes sparkling as she took the card and snuggled up to Gunnar like a delicate little bird.

Gunnar was the classic alpha male; he loved nothing more than a woman who leaned on him. Seeing Norah like this made Gunnar’s ego soar, and on a whim, be transferred several seaside apartments to Norah and Stella that very day.

After having dinner with Gunnar that evening, Norah and Stella came home loaded down with shopping bagy,

Worried that Samuel might hear them, they kept their voices low as they slipped inside, avoiding lights. They fumbled their way through the darkness, inching toward the stairs, when suddenly, the living room lights snapped on just as they set foot on the first step.

“Ah!” Norah and Stella both yelped in fright, their hearts pounding out of their chests.

They looked up to see Samuel standing at the top of the stairs in his loungewear.

Stelia’s eyes went wide and asked, “Dad?”

Noral was just as startled and asked. “Honey?”

“Where did you two go? Samuel didin’t amwer their greetings, just stared at them coldly, his face expressionless and his tone icy.

Norah clutched the shopping bags, feeling a wave of guilt Forcing herself to look up at Samuel, Norah said, “I just took Stella to the mall for a bu. I couldn’t help myself and ended up buying some clothes and jewelry”

Stella’s heart was still racing, but she managed a mod and said, “Yeah, Dad”

Samuel froword. He used to think, ‘I had the most sensible wife and well beloved daughter. But now, with the family in trouble and my father sull in the hospital needing money, these two were out spending like nothing was wrong. It was unbelievably thoughtless.

Samuel rubbed his forehead, sounding exhausted, “Didn’t I say we can’t spend money recklessly anymore? Take it all back tomorrow. We still have a lut of expenses coming up, we can’t just waite money”

“It’i nna even his money, what a useless man. Norah cursed Samuel in her head. She frowned, clearly unwilling, and said, ‘Samuel, Stella and 1 Juven’t bought any new clothes or jewelry in ages”

Stella also complained, “Dad, classmates tease me for wearing the same uniforms, saying our family’s broke and I have nothing che to wear? Besides Stella thought. These were paid for by my real dad, I wouldn’t give them back.

Hearing the commotion downstairs, Charles and Raymond both came downL

“What’s going on! Why are you guys arguing?” Charles asked, frowning.

Raymond quickly glanced at the shopping bags in Norah and Stella’s hands and immediately had a guess.

Raymond didn’t think there was anything wrong. Instead, he looked at Samuel impatiently and said, “Aunt Norah and Stella just bought a few things, right? Dad, you can’t seriously be mad about that. That’s way too stingy”

“Shut up! Samuel suddenly snapped, glaring fiercely at Raymond, clearly furious.

He said coldly. Don’t you know our family’s situation Grandpa’s

Raymond waved him off, unfazed and answered, Dad, you’re overreacting. Even if the Spence family went bankrupt, my brother and I can earn money. The family won’t fall apart, and Aunt Norah and Stella won’t have to suffer.”
