Hearing Stella’s voice tremble, Minnie thought she was really feeling guilty and upset. She gave a weak smile. “Stella, even if you hadn’t said a word, I’d never throw you under the bus. You saved my life once, let’s just call it even this time.”

Stella wiped her tears and squeezed Minnie’s hand. “Relax, I already paid Tim a ton of money. He won’t say a thing about what went down between you two, so your guy won’t ever find out.

“As for the Easton thing, just talk to him when you get the chance, don’t let him get the wrong idea,” she said.

Hearing that, Minnie broke down. “It’s pointless now. He had someone come over last night and tell me to never reach out to him again. He even threatened me. If I ever spill about us, he’ll make sure I’m wiped off the map in Jenston.”

Stella’s face turned icy. ‘That bastard Tim, he took my money and still couldn’t keep his mouth shut, she thought.

Good thing she’d planned. She’d already threatened Tim and had solid evidence of his other crimes. ‘Worst case, he’ll only expose Minnie. He’d never have the guts to rat me out, she reassured herself.

Stella looked Minnie over. If it weren’t for the fact that the man backing her had serious influence, and she might need his help for something big in the future, she wouldn’t have risked showing up here today.

But now, hearing Minnie say that, it sounded like the man backing her had already cut her off for good.

‘Well, if that’s how it is, then Minnie’s just a useless pawn now. Time to toss her aside, Stella thought coldly.

“Minnie, just let it go. Men are all the same. Just focus on getting better. Once you’re back on your feet, just go along with whatever the family decides,” Stella said, her tone suddenly distant.

Stella’s attitude flipped. She suddenly turned cold and got up to leave. Minnie looked at her in shock.

“Stella, what am I supposed to do now?” Minnie stammered, her voice shaky.

Stella ran her fingers through her hair with a careless gesture. “Minnie, I can’t get you out of the Hayes family right now. You know, if Easton finds out I’m sticking up for you, he might start getting suspicious about what we’ve been up to.”

“So you’d better think carefully about your next move,” Stella said, her voice cold as ice.

Stella wasn’t even trying to hide the threat. Minnie could see it plain as day in her eyes.

Regret was pointless now. Minnie was completely cornered.

Stella was certain Minnie wouldn’t dare say a word. After all, Minnie was the one who actually carried out everything.

If Minnie talked, not only would Easton and the Roth family come after her, but even the man backing her would get dragged into the mess.

If she really had a death wish, then sure, she could run her mouth.

Knock, knock, knock…

“Come in,” Sophie called out.

Sophie was hunched over her desk, totally absorbed in her design sketches, when Emily came in, arms loaded with paperwork.

“Ms. Roth, Foster Group just sent these over. I’ve already sorted them out for you, but you’ll need to go through them today. Tomorrow we’ve got that meeting at their office,” Emily said.

Sophia frowned at the mountain of files in front of her. ‘I’m drowning in paperwork, she grumbled to herself.

She let out a long sigh. “Alright, let’s just power through these next couple of days, and then everyone can head home for the New Year,”

Emily snuck a grin. “I thought you were like those bosses who wish their employees would just work nonstop.”

Sophia laughed. “Work never ends. Honestly, I’m just as eager for a break as you guys are.”

“Are you staying in Jenston for New Year’s?” Emily asked.

Sophia shook her head. “No, there’s someone special waiting for me in Japoria, so I’m heading back to be with him for the holiday.”

Emily was genuinely surprised. ‘She’s not even spending New Year’s with her family in Jenston? Could that “someone important” be her boyfriend?’ Emily wondered.

‘Guess that means Easton’s out of luck, Emily thought.
