Reborn Fake Heiress Watch the Whole Family Burn novel Chapter 19

“Enough! Drop it. I know my best friend is incredible. She’s not some average girl, so naturally, she won’t be staying here. You can give up on that idea!”

Having said her piece, Theresa went to find Elena.

Elena was already awake. She required very little sleep, likely due to her physical constitution; a brief rest was all she needed to recharge, leaving her with far more energy than the average person.

“Elena, you’ve worked hard. I bought you some food!” Theresa announced, walking in with takeout bags.

She unpacked the containers onto the table.

“Is this from *The Gilded Fork*?” Elena asked, recognizing the logo.

“Yep! I had their head chef make this specifically for you. I treat you well, don’t I? Hee hee!”

“You really didn’t have to go that overboard,” Elena chuckled, glancing at her.

*The Gilded Fork* was one of Cresden City’s most notoriously expensive restaurants. It was hard enough to get a reservation, let alone have the head chef personally cook for you.

“Sigh. Do you really think it’s worth all this effort to save a paralyzed man?” Theresa asked.

“It’s worth it. It’s a life, after all.”

Besides, her mentor had instructed her to do it.

Just then, Elena’s phone vibrated. She picked it up to see a call from Sean Maddox.

“Boss, I’m stuck outside the hospital. Getting into this place is a nightmare!”

Elena looked at Theresa. “A friend is here to see me, but he’s been stopped at the gate.”

“No problem, I’ll tell them to let him in immediately!”

A few moments later, Sean arrived upstairs.

He handed a file to Elena. “Boss, these are a few upcoming potential projects. They carry significant risk, so I needed you to look them over. I didn’t dare make the call myself.”

“Mr. Sterling, my subordinates already made things clear regarding our previous business. Why do you insist on pestering me?”

“Mr. Maddox, surely there’s a misunderstanding. The Sterling Group and Aurelis Holdings have always been close partners! You can’t just pull out like this! What will become of the Sterling Group?”

Sean scoffed coldly. “What happens to the Sterling Group is the Sterling family’s problem. What does it have to do with me? Thomas, get this straight: Aurelis Holdings isn’t here to wipe your ass! Do you have any idea how much money you’ve lost us? I’ve wanted to kick you to the curb for ages. If it hadn’t been for the Boss...”

Sean stopped himself. “Forget it. I can’t be bothered to explain. From now on, Aurelis Holdings and the Sterling Group are like fire and water! We are no longer partners; we are enemies!”

“Mr. Maddox...” Thomas wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.

Sean Maddox was truly ruthless! He hadn’t been like this toward the Sterling Group before.

Harrison, seeing Sean about to leave, quickly blocked his path.

“Mr. Maddox, we can talk this out. If you’re going to turn on us so suddenly, you have to give us a reason. Did we do something wrong?” Harrison asked ingratiatingly.
