"We can’t do anything more about Laura Kiels, but we also can’t dwell in disappointment. So, let’s forget this matter..." she said softly.
"Agreed, sis!" Stefan nodded. "Is there anything else you would like to order me?"
"Yes," Bella’s gaze slowly turned sharp again. "Please teach a lesson to all A-Netz, who are still slandering Stellar Entertainment. You can do whatever you want with them."
"Got it! I will teach them all!"
Bella chuckled at how excited Stefan was now. She could see how sharp Stefan’s gaze was, as if he was ready to vent his frustration on A-Netz.
...
After setting aside Laura Kiels’ case, Bella and Stefan continued discussing Donovan Group matters.
Stefan reported to her about the company’s stock price, which continued to fall further.
The panic selling has now affected all the shareholders, public investors, and major shareholders such as the Donovan siblings. Jacob and his brothers are starting to sell a portion of their shares.
However, Stefan noted that no one wanted to take a risk and buy their shares. It seems many people are still waiting to see the Donovan Group’s situation.
Hearing all this was enough to make Bella smile broadly and happily. This is what she needed to hear: her uncles and father live in fear and suffering.
"Sis, should we take action now? The share price of Donovan Group has already fallen forty percent from the initial price," Stefan asked.
"No, of course not. Continue with your next plan to scare the investors who own most of the shares of the Donovan Group. I want them to feel the pressure and let them sell their shares below the market price." Bella continued, giving a clear explanation of what Stefan should do.
"Understood, sis. I will follow your plan and instructions."
"Okay, keep monitoring the Donovan Group. I hope we can take over the company next week." Bella clapped her hands, feeling happy.
Bella couldn’t hide how happy she was now when she imagined firing her scheming uncle, Jacob Donovan, from his CEO position.
"Sister Bella, no worries! I promise you that everything you’ve planned for Donovan Group will prevail," Stefan confidently said.
He would not disappoint his sister, Bella, again. This will not be another Laura Kiels fail case.
"I’ll count on you for that, Stefan," Bella smiled as she gave him a thumbs-up. She stood and said, "Alright, I will go downstairs now."
Bella was about to leave when Stefan stopped her.
"Uh, Sister, one more thing. It’s about your mother. I think you must know something about your mother." Stefan’s hurried and worried tone caused Bella to stop abruptly.
"What about my mother? What happened to her?"
Stefan didn’t tell her immediately but asked for her forgiveness for asking her to sit back again. He did it out of fear Bella would collapse when she heard what he had to say.
"And several hours have passed. It seems your father hasn’t managed to find your mother..." Stefan continued after seeing Bella pensive and silent.
Blinking several times, Bella looked at Stefan and said, "Stefan, can you find my mother? Please, please... find her immediately before my father does..."
"I will try to search the CCTV outside your house..." Stefan responded.
"Thanks..." Bella knew her father’s nature well. If he found her mother, he might be even angrier and torture her more.
The memories of the past, when her father beat her mother before her eyes, started to engulf Bella again, causing her blood to boil.
In the past, she was powerless, but now that she has power, she will prevent her father from harming her and her mother again.
"Stefan, I’m going downstairs to look for Sam. Please let me know if you find anything."
He said nothing but nodded and stood up, heading towards his computer to try to locate Natalie Wright.
As Bella watched Stefan immerse himself in his computer, she hurriedly left the room to look for Sam.
She needed the Sentinel Network members in East City to look for her mother or stand by and wait for Stefan’s results.
While walking downstairs to her office, Bella called Sam and asked him to come to her office immediately.
