Coolest Girl in Town (Elise and Alexander) novel Chapter 1005

"Are you serious about this, Boss?" Raymond was delighted.

"When have I ever joked about something like this?" As Alexander spoke, he leaned against the couch, acting nonchalant.

When Elise heard his words, she laughed and asked, "Are you going to make the best out of a mistake?"

"You know me well, wifey," Alexander admitted without hesitation. "To be honest, the relationship between Smith Co. and the Hellens is already on the brink of ice. Now that we've caused such a scene, Stenson wouldn't forgive us even if we were to apologize. If that's the case, why not just go for it?"

"You are so smart, Boss. We have to let them know that we can't be easily messed with!" As Raymond spoke, his body was trembling with excitement.

In the meantime, the Hellen Family held a meeting. A group of people sat in the dim room as they pressured Stenson.

"Don't act like a fool! They've already singled you out and asked you to return the person!"

"I have already told you not to mess with them. Why won't you listen? Now that they have ruined our place, who will be responsible for the huge loss?"

"Just do your best and don't try to bite off more than you can chew. If you can't handle this, you should have just let someone else take over!"

Each of the Hellen Family's members blamed Stenson for causing them trouble.

The more Stenson heard them nag, he couldn't stand it anymore and slammed his fists against the table. "Are you guys done? If anyone has anything to say, just step up!" He barked.

After he finished his words, the room fell into silence. After all, blaming Stenson in a group was different from calling him out individually. They knew he was a cruel man, so none of them wanted to stand out.

Stenson looked at them and said, "This is a rare opportunity for you guys. If you decide not to say anything now, you'd better not in the future. Otherwise, I won't go easy on you!"

The crowd lowered their heads and kept quiet. However, they were unhappy with his words.

At this moment, someone suddenly spoke up. "You can't say such a thing. We let you become the leader because we trusted you and believed you would bring wealth to the family. However, you did not earn any profit and even lost a huge amount of money. Isn't it normal for us to be upset and want an explanation?"

The spokesperson was Matthias, Stenson's cousin. Although he was five years younger than Stenson, he was as cruel as him. Matthias had always been ambitious and wanted to take over the throne, so he would always cause trouble for Stenson. Now that Stenson had brought trouble to the family, he would take this opportunity to seize him.

When Stenson heard his words, he looked at Matthias coldly and said, "Upset? I don't think anyone is upset except for you. You want an explanation, right? I'll give it to you. The casino has lost seven hundred million, and I will pay for it. Are you guys happy now?"

Although no one uttered a word, their expressions softened. As the saying went, one had to play both ends against the middle. They weren't dumb and knew what was happening clearly; as long as they weren't the ones in the spotlight, they would not suffer any losses.

"Seven hundred million? I don't think so. After all, those antiques from Cittadel are priceless." Matthias insisted on the matter.

When Stenson heard his words, he was furious. He gritted his teeth and slammed his hands against the table. "I'll get those antiques back. If I can't, I'll kill myself! There! Are you happy now?!"

"Why are you being so emotional, Stenson? I'm just saying it as it is. It's fine as long as you know how important those things are. If you can't get it back, just apologize to us. We'll understand. After all, we can't possibly kill you, can we?" Matthias mocked him. "Alright now, let's go. I think Stenson needs some alone time." With that, everyone left in a hurry.

In an instant, the crowded room was empty.
