Married to a Secret Billionaire (Stella Taylor) novel Chapter 140

Chapter 140 Let Her Be the Mistress

Noah's eyes darkened. His broad back stiffened slightly as he remained silent.

The air seemed to freeze, and Pater's eyes were fixed on him.

He asked again in a harsher tone, "Who is Stella?"

"She is my wife."

Pater raised his hand abruptly!

The tea set on the table shattered into a mess with a bang!

Noah clenched his fists, the veins on the back of his hand bulging.

Pater sternly questioned, "When did you get married and when did you have this woman?"

"If I hadn't intercepted this declaration, were you really planning to hand over half of the Martinez family's power on a silver platter?"

The butler and servants outside the door dared not even breathe when they heard the commotion inside.

Even Andrew was stunned.

Pater had always been calm and composed in handling matters, rarely showing such intense anger.

But today, the grandfather and grandson inside seemed like two opposing lions. Just the sound of their voices made people shudder, let alone approach them.

"Do you want to give half of all your assets, stocks, funds, including overseas properties and cash to that woman?"

"Noah." Pater said coldly, "What on earth are you thinking?"

Noah licked his lips, his gaze cold and firm. "Not half...but all."

"What did you say?"

"The declaration currently states half because she has not yet become my real wife. In the future, when she becomes my legal wife, everything I have will be hers."

Pater's eyes flashed with a chill as he looked at Noah for a while, his brows furrowing.

"So, haven't you two gotten married yet?"

Noah clenched his teeth.

Pater let out a sigh of relief.

He knew that Noah had been recuperating in Eldoria after the plane crash. Perhaps Noah met Stella during that time.

When one was injured, it was the weakest moment of his willpower, making it easier for others to take advantage of him.

"It's best that you haven't gotten married yet." Pater said calmly, "This kind of woman is unreliable. She approached you because of your status and position. You'd better stay clear-headed and not fall into her trap!"

"Grandpa." Noah's voice was low. "She doesn't know who I am."

"That's even better!"

Pater put his hands behind his back and walked slowly to the French window.

"While you still can, break up with her. You won't have any losses. If Stella insists on pestering you, you can compensate her. Let her name a price!"

"Grandpa!"

Noah clenched his fists, his nails digging deep into his flesh.

He looked into Pater's eyes and said every word resolutely.

"I came back this time to be honest with you. I will not separate from Stella. I only want her in this lifetime!"

"Noah Martinez!" Pater's anger surged. "Do you know what you're talking about?"

"Grandpa, I am very clear-headed."

"You..."

Pater raised his hand suddenly, but it trembled in mid-air and ultimately did not slap Noah.

This was his grandson whom he had raised and was proud of.

But now his grandson was losing his mind because of a woman!

"Noah." His voice trembled. "Are you really going to disappoint me?"

Noah took a deep breath, and his heart was also tormented.

But in the end, he slowly raised his eyes and met Pater's cold and stern gaze.

Pater intended to give in and spoke softly after a while, "If you really like this woman, bring her here."

The servants and butler were in a panic when he left. Andrew quickly caught up. Seeing Noah's grim face, he wanted to ask something but swallowed his words.

"Master Noah, what should we do now..."

"Go back to Evergreen Ridge!"

Andrew immediately went to drive the car.

However, a light and graceful sound of footsteps came from the end of the corridor.

"Noah, you're back..."

Noah coldly glanced at her. She slightly shifted to the side and stood there somewhat nervously.

He nodded and greeted her, about to continue walking forward, but Gwen gently grabbed him, "Noah..."

Noah suddenly shook her hand off, keeping a significant distance between them.

"Did you come to see my grandfather?"

"Yeah..." Gwen softly said, "I came to see your grandfather, but the main reason was to see you."

Noah's expression remained cold, his eyes as deep as a well, revealing no emotions.

"I know you had an accident with the plane. It scared me at that time." Gwen slowly approached. "Noah, have your injuries healed? You haven't come back for so long... Are you not leaving this time?"

Noah only felt annoyed. The closer she got, the more he wanted to avoid her.

He couldn't understand why this woman had such a repugnant scent of perfume on her.

Stella never used perfume. She only had a clean and sweet scent that made him unable to resist.

"Noah, it's still early now. Why don't you come to my house for a while if you want? I also have something I want to talk to you about privately."

"It's not early anymore." Noah said in a deep voice, "I just arrived in Emberfall and want to rest early. If you didn't bring a driver, I'll have the housekeeper send you in a while."

His attitude of keeping her at a distance couldn't be more obvious.

But Gwen felt unwilling.

"If I wanted to talk to you about our marriage, do you not want to listen either?"
