He Never Noticed Me Until I Loved Someone Else novel Chapter 255

Stella had known all along that Sylvia and Seraphina would deny everything to their graves, which was why she had asked Sebastian to secure the evidence.

Even if it wasn't enough to secure a criminal conviction against Seraphina, she was determined to force George to see the pure venom rotting inside his beloved wife and daughter.

The moment the words left Stella's mouth, the color drained entirely from Seraphina's face. Even Sylvia's immaculate composure finally slipped.

George's expression turned thunderous. He glared at Stella, his voice vibrating with disbelief and rage. "Stella, are you threatening me?"

Stella hadn't expected this. She held absolute proof in her hand, yet George still twisted the narrative to make her the villain.

A bitter laugh escaped her lips. "I'm just laying out the facts. How exactly did you translate that into a threat?"

"SD Apparel might have been founded by my grandparents, but right now, it legally belongs to The Quinn Group. I'm not asking you to play fair. I'm just asking you to sign off on replacing the machines. Is that really so impossible?"

"At the end of the day, you're just extorting me for money! Stella, you've really outdone yourself!" George bellowed, completely unhinged.

Exhaustion washed over Stella in a suffocating wave. She didn't have the energy to argue with his delusions anymore. She pointed to the funding request on the coffee table. "Believe whatever you want to believe. Now, are you going to sign it or not?"

"And if I don't? Are you actually going to drag this mess to the police station?!" George challenged.

"Since you're so convinced they're innocent, why would it matter if I did?" Stella shot back.

"You—!"

Blinded by fury and humiliation, George raised his hand, ready to strike her across the face.

Stella didn't flinch. She just stared at him, her luminous eyes locked onto his with absolute, freezing defiance.

Seeing her unbroken gaze—and catching the faint glimmer of profound heartbreak hiding beneath it—George's hand froze in mid-air.

Deep down, he knew Stella hadn't done anything wrong. It was her relentless, uncompromising stance that infuriated him. She stood there like an avenging judge, treating them all as sinners who owed her a massive debt.
