The Heiress With Seven Secret Identies (Stella Shaw) novel Chapter 148

Chapter 148 Felix’s Ultimate Punishment

Cash?

Amber and Sienna stared at him, completely lost.

What?

Mark walked over to the security guard at the gate, pulled out his wallet, and exchanged some bills for smaller change.

“Here.”

A fifty, a twenty, and a ten.

Amber’s brain short–circuited.

“Mark… what about the eight hundred thousand?”

“Eight hundred thousand? I’ve been saying eighty this whole time.”

Amber and Sienna went pale.

“You said a million, then nine hundred, then eighty-”

Amber stopped mid–sentence.

She stared at him like he’d lost his mind. “Mark. You spend eight hundred thousand on dinner. How can you be this shameless?”

“We agreed on eighty. You didn’t say anything then. Now you want to negotiate? Too late.”

“You son of a—”

“Get them out.”

Mark dropped the eighty dollars on the ground and walked inside without looking back.

“Mark! Come back here! That’s my money! Eight hundred thousand! You owe me eight hundred thousand!”

Amber was screaming, crying, but four security guards picked her up like she weighed nothing and carried her half a mile down the road before dumping her.

What she didn’t know was that Mark had recorded every word she said.

Mark sat in his study, conflicted.

Should he tell Jasper?

It wasn’t just Felix. Even Nina–the one person Jasper trusted most–had been in on it. They had destroyed the woman he loved, and they did it together.

If Jasper found out, the Shaws would find out too.

“You’re handling the disownment paperwork?”

Mark looked up. Felix was standing in the doorway. Mark’s voice was heavy. “Dad. That year at the country club…

“You were golfing with Vincent and the others.

“I was your caddy.

“Jasper and Nicole were maybe five or six. They were holding hands, running with a kite, laughing. You remember?”

Felix frowned. “What’s your point?”

“She was a kid. You watched her grow up. How could you do that to her?”

Felix’s expression flickered.

“You couldn’t have Michelle, so you made sure no one else could be happy either. For a woman who lied to you, who never loved you–Mom spent her whole marriage miserable because of her, and in the end, you were the one who destroyed her.

“You said Jasper was your pride, but you made sure he’d never be happy. Not in this life.

“I spent my whole childhood trying to make you proud. You never liked me. Said I wasn’t smart enough. I worked anyway. I made something of myself.

“I knew you’d never let me marry the woman I loved. So I pretended I didn’t love her.

“And you bought it. You let me marry her.

“You have no idea how happy I was.

“Then

you found out I actually loved her. And I was too weak. I pulled away to protect us. To protect her

from you.

“She died thinking I didn’t love her. She died alone and broken.

“Dad. What did we do wrong? Why did you do this to us?”

Mark’s voice cracked. The pain in his eyes made Felix take a step back. “I… I don’t know what you’re talking

about.”

“Enjoy what you have left.”

“What are you going to do?”

Mark walked upstairs.

“Mark. I’m your father.”

Finished

Felix sank to the floor.

The Michelle thing. The Amber thing. That was bad enough. If this came out too? He’d lose everything. His name. His legacy. Everything.

That night, the news broke: the Moore family had officially cut ties with Amber.

Everyone she’d ever looked down on, everyone she’d ever bullied, came out of the woodwork. Hotels refused to book her. Restaurants wouldn’t seat her.

Amber never thought she’d end up sleeping under a highway overpass, fending off creeps who wandered too close.

She broke down that night. Sobbed until she couldn’t breathe.

“Sienna… what do we do now?”

“We find Grandma. She’ll have a plan. Once she’s better, we figure it out.”

Amber wiped her face and nodded.

Sienna’s hands curled into fists. This was all Stella’s fault.

If she couldn’t get revenge, at least she could make her hurt.

Her fingers tightened around the pill bottle in her pocket.
