Chapter 407
“No, seriously. What do you know?”~
Lucas said, “What I know isn’t something you need to know. Just pull out of your partnerships with Wright Corporation as soon as possible.’
“No, but we and Evan…”
“None of us can help him now.”
Before Leon could finish, Lucas cut him off.
Leon fell silent.
That one sentence, none of us can help him, said enough about how serious things had become.
It also made Leon even more certain that Lucas knew something.
Something none of them knew.
And this was not as simple as Felix going after Evan for Stella.
When Fiona arrived at Hernandez Group, she felt as if her legs no longer belonged to her.
She was so exhausted that she nearly collapsed.
Stella was ruthless.
Her feet hurt so badly from all the walking that she was sure she had blisters.
It hurt. It really hurt.
The receptionist was the same one from before.
The moment Fiona met her eyes, anger flashed in Fiona’s gaze. The receptionist gave her a faint smile. “ Good afternoon, Miss Wright.”
It sounded polite.
But to Fiona, there was mockery in her tone.
Her gaze turned cold in an instant.
She glared at the receptionist. “I need to see Felix.”
“Do you have an appointment?”
Fiona froze.
An appointment?
୮
In Harbor City, no matter where she went or whom she wanted to see, who had ever dared ask her for an appointment?
And now a mere receptionist was asking her that.

What a joke.
Fiona gritted her teeth. “Tell him I have very important news about Stella. If he doesn’t hear it, he’ll regret it for the rest of his life.
“Do you have an appointment?”
The receptionist repeated the same question.
Clearly, no matter what Fiona wanted to say to Felix, her answer would be the same.
Appointment.
Everything required an appointment.
Fiona stared at that professional smile and was so furious she wanted to tear her face apart.
“If you want to keep working here, you’d better announce me right now.”
There was a threat in Fiona’s voice.
The receptionist’s attitude only fueled her determination to win Felix over.
The receptionist said, “Without an appointment, you won’t be able to see Mr. Hernandez.”
She was completely unmoved.
Fiona was so angry her chest ached.
“Can I use the phone?” she asked through clenched teeth, glancing at the landline on the receptionist’s
desk.
She had called Felix before, but when she tried again, she found that her number had already been blocked.
Was Felix blind?
How could he treat someone like Stella as if she were some priceless pearl?
The receptionist nodded. “Of course.
Fiona picked up the phone and dialed Felix’s number.
This time, it only rang twice before he answered.
His deep, magnetic voice came through the line. “Speak.”
He thought it was the receptionist, and the single cold word was enough to show his displeasure at her bypassing protocol.
Usually, anything at the front desk was reported to an assistant first.
Then the assistant would pass the message to Felix.
Hearing that cold voice, Fiona’s heart gave a hard tremble. “Felix, it’s me.”
She tried hard to remember Summer’s advice and softened her usually spoiled tone.

But that softness made her feel sick.
