Chapter 33 Insult My Husband Again and Face the Consequences
Stella escorted Eric to the conference room.
The people gathered outside Ava's office wore expressions of gloating.
"Miss Brown had hoped that Mr. Smith would declare Stella's ring as nothing more than green glass, but little did she know that it was actually an authentic emerald! And to make matters worse, her client ended up being swayed by Stella!" Someone whispered with a chuckle, "Seems like it's a classic case of losing both the wife and the soldiers, isn't it?"
"Tsk, it's more like cutting off one's nose to spite one's face!"
"Hahaha..."
With her mind went blank, Ava stood motionless and trembled with anger.
She stomped over and slammed the door shut, creating a loud noise.
The people outside scattered, but the echoes of laughter lingered throughout the entire office space. People had grown weary of her arrogance and tyrannical behavior. However, with her relative being a major shareholder, they had no choice but to suppress their grievances and endure.
Witnessing her in such a pitiful state today brought them immense satisfaction.
...
After accompanying Eric to the entrance and bidding him farewell with a smile, Stella gently caressed the ring on her hand.
Is this really an emerald?
She chuckled, the two dimples on her cheeks shining as if she had captured all the sweetness in the world.
Upon reflection, it appeared that her luck had taken a turn for the better since marrying Liam. Orders kept pouring in, and whenever she faced difficulties, Liam would come to her aid...
In the past, fortune tellers had predicted that she would bring good luck to her husband.
But in reality, it seemed that Liam's presence brought blessings to his wife's fortune!
She took a deep breath. The workday was coming to an end, and she had plans to go home and prepare dinner for him tonight.
However, as she turned around, she met Ava's hostile gaze.
"Hello, Miss Brown." Stella greeted calmly and was about to head upstairs when she heard Ava's infuriated mockery from behind. "Hmph, an emerald? I wonder where he stole it from."
Stella abruptly turned around and locked her gaze on Ava. "What did you just say?"
"Since your husband was a convict, he must have engaged in illegal activities." Ava continued to taunt. "Stella, you really have a strong spirit! It seems that you two are a perfect match, with one stealing objects and the other stealing hearts!"
Stella clenched her lips tightly, her face turning pale.
Ava sneered and deliberately looked up. The surveillance camera was flashing red, capturing every moment of the scene.
She was a cunning person. Every time she provoked Stella, she deliberately chose a location with surveillance cameras. This way, no matter how provocative her words were, Stella would not succumb to physical violence as long as she maintained her composure.
