Chapter 72
She spoke very softly, but it drew the attention of everyone in the room. The secretary looked over and saw hope amidst her desperation, “Thank you, thank you…” Stella ignored her. She was still struggling within herself. She didn’t want to poke her nose into the business of others, but a thought came to mind when she stepped foot out of the room.
Weston was doing this on purpose.
He was deliberately putting up a front before her.
A man like him had no need to get his hands dirty or even verbalize his intentions. A simple look was enough and everyone would fight to do his bidding.
These people were familiar with the inner workings of the marketplace and knew their way around people. They wouldn’t go to such extremes to make things ugly. Their sudden impudence was surely associated with Weston himself. Even if she didn’t make a move now, there would be more trouble waiting for her down the road.
The mere thought of having to deal with more made her tired.
The men simply stared at her.
His eyes turned as dim as the private room, but Stella could still feel his searing gaze on her.
He fixed his eyes on her like a hunter eyeing his prey.
A moment later, he opened his mouth, “Say it louder.” Stella took a deep breath and increased her volume. “Can you let her go?” “Are you talking about her or yourself?”
“Do I have a choice?”
