Shadows Between Us (Stella and Sebastian) novel Chapter 356

Chapter 356

Aveline staggered, and if Dexter hadn’t steadied her, she would have lost her balance.

However, before she could say anything, Lion had already turned and walked off with his crew.

They got into a black car.

Sebastian, who was waiting inside the car, opened his eyes. When he saw Lion step in, still wearing his mask, he raised an eyebrow. “All the legal notices have been sent. Stella is my bottom line. Whoever offended her has to pay.”

Lion, who sat across from him, slowly removed his mask, revealing the face of the man whose very name sent chills down Jaffina’s spine. It was Allan.

Allan asked, “Are we heading back?”

Sebastian didn’t reply. He just turned to look out the window at the Clinton residence, his gaze cold as ever. “I hate this gate. Get someone to smash it.”

Allan was speechless. After a moment, he knocked on the soundproof partition.

The partition slid down, revealing John’s stern face.

“Mr. Gray says smash it.” Allan pointed at the Clinton family’s fancy gate, a cocky grin tugging at his lips.

Ever since they’d crossed into Jaffina, his whole vibe had gotten way darker.

John pressed his earpiece and gave the order.

It didn’t take long before word exploded across Jaffina that the front gate of the city’s top family, the Clinton family, had just been wrecked by Lion Squad.

Everyone was freaking out.

Those fans were also losing it online.

[Holy crap. The threat is real. My roommate actually got a lawyer’s letter.]

[Wait, seriously?]

[Damn, that was quick. Is it happening in our city?]

[Here’s a censored pic. No joke, my roommate is a hardcore Hyde fan. She spent all afternoon going off with the nastiest insults. Now she just got served and is bawling her eyes out in the dorm.]

[Serves her right.]

[I just saw someone in The Mars fan thread sharing pictures, too. It’s real.]

[Oh my gosh, I saw it. Huge thanks to Lazybones. She brought the justice.]

[This is so satisfying.]

The first group of users to get lawyers’ letters from Harmony Law Firm was completely shocked. They never thought that just chatting online for fun could end with an actual court notice in their hands.

Some of them actually paid lawyers to ask about it, but when they heard Harmony Law Firm and Broderick were involved, they didn’t even take the money and had security kick them out

[That lawyer said that even if you searched all of Clusia, no one would dare take this case, because-]

[Because what?]

[Spill it.]

[Because any firm in Clusia that could handle this kind of case will have a Broderick’s student on staff.]

[Just give it up, guys. I’m in the industry, and let me tell you, no matter how much money you throw at it, nobody is gonna touch this case.]

[Are you really in the industry? What’s the word from your side?

[Dude, it’s a total meltdown. When all those official accounts started jumping in, my boss said it was gonna be a disaster. I thought he was exaggerating, but he was right. These idiots dug their own graves.]

[Are Harmony Law Firm and Broderick’s Law Firm really that badass?]

[Let me put it this way. Broderick helped rewrite half the laws in Monterra. That’s insane, right? And Harmony Law Firm? They’re Nova Group’s exclusive legal team, second only to Broderick.]

[Guys, look at Clinton Group’s official account.]

[This is going straight to the trending list.]

Everyone rushed to Clinton Group’s official account, only to see hat just now, they’d pinned an apology post.

Clinton Group: [Our sincere apologies to Lazybones and Nova Group.]

People scrambled to open the video.

There was Dexter, who’d disappeared after posting “let it go” earlier. He wore a plain black shirt, no makeup, his signature shoulder-length hair loose as always, but he looked noticeably tired.

With a tight expression, he said, “Ms. Carter, I sincerely apologize for my reckless behavior. I also hope no one judges my sister poorly because of my behavior.

“To make amends, I’m leaving Starfire Entertainment and The Mars. And I’m officially retiring from the entertainment industry.”

Everyone was stunned. They thought, ‘What? Is Hyde really quitting showbiz?’

Zack hung up the phone and looked at Stella. “Ms. Carter, Jenna’s parents would like to speak with you.”

“Who?” Stella didn’t even look up. She clearly didn’t remember anyone by that name.

Fabian chimed in, “The girl who leaked your photos and started hat whole online hate campaign against you.”

“Oh,” Stella replied, a little awkwardly. Still, she couldn’t remember.

She glanced back at her phone, sent a remote command to make Big Ben and Scrappy stop fighting at home, then got up lazily. “Not interested in meeting them.”

She had nothing more to say.

With that, she turned to leave.

“Wait,” Zack called out in a hurry.

Stella turned to him.

“Did you know Rhaesia University will be holding its assessment in Jaffina soon?” Zack’s eyes practically sparkled with hope.

“You want the person in charge to swing by Haliville while they’re at it, right?” Stella got the drift in a heartbeat.

Zack was all fired up. “Yes. Can you make it happen?”

Tripp rolled his eyes and put his hands together. “Stella, we want in, too.”

Stella thought for a second, then casually shot a message to Houston on WhatsApp.

Houston replied instantly, [How about the day after tomorrow?]

Zack and Tripp shouted in perfect sync, “What?”

They were too excited to believe it.

Stella said, “Tomorrow is impossible. He said even the fastest private jet would take 25 hours to reach Haliville.”

Tripp fell silent.
