She Left She Thrived She’s Worth Billions novel Chapter 654

The driver was still Linda Vance, wearing a dark professional suit, her curly hair pinned up, and half-rim glasses resting on her nose.

The passenger in the back was still the white-haired, youthful-looking Shawn.

"Mr. Sterling... The jewelry you gave that woman cost over a million dollars. Was it really worth it?"

"Is it up to you to decide what's worth it?"

Snubbed by Shawn, Linda immediately apologized.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Sterling. I spoke out of turn."

Shawn stretched lazily, not caring in the slightest, and flexed his long, slender fingers.

His hands were empty.

His butterfly knife was gone.

His phone was gone, too.

The image of him being cornered by Melanie and Preston at Daphne's club naturally surfaced in his mind. Instead of getting angry, Shawn laughed.

"Talia Monroe's daughter isn't just pretty; she's quite interesting. Plus, she has a boyfriend who's more handsome and possesses an even stronger aura than I do..."

Shawn chuckled at his own words.

"He just doesn't look as young as I do..."

With that, he laid down on the back seat and let out a yawn.

"It seems this trip to Averin was well worth it. I'll have plenty of ways to kill time."

Linda glanced at Shawn lying in the back seat through the rearview mirror.

She knew her boss.

The more challenging something was, the more it sparked his interest.

"So, what does Mr. Sterling plan to do next?"

Hearing Linda's question, Shawn closed his eyes as if he were about to take a nap.

It was hard to tell if he was answering seriously or just joking.

"Hmm... I'll buy a house here tomorrow, get my residency sorted, and then... start a company!"

Shawn said it so casually, but Linda's brows knit tightly behind her half-rim glasses.

"Mr. Sterling, if you just want to find out how much that woman knows about what happened back then, there's no need to invest so heavily or start a whole new company, right?"

"Are you telling me how to do my job again?"

Shawn's eyes snapped open.
