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."
