The One I Should've Married (Stella and Sebastian) novel Chapter 114

What good could possibly come from offending the Sinclairs?

Vivienne was furious.

She wanted nothing more than to drag out the man backing Stella and have Lawrence tear him to pieces.

...

Inside the elevator.

Asher stood with his hands in his pockets, his posture casual. "It's only been two days, and Vivienne and Julian are already a mess."

"Arthur is truly ruthless. Pushing his own grandson to this extent just for some assets."

Arthur had always desperately wanted a certain map that Stella possessed, and Asher knew it.

For the past three years, Asher had been terrified that Stella's lovesick brain would actually hand that map over to them.

Given the five hundred million she had previously thrown away, handing over the map was absolutely something she might have done.

But...

If she had actually given them the map, Asher would have been forced to take it back by any means necessary. Even if he had to burn it in front of Old Mr. Channing's grave, he refused to let the Sinclair family walk away with a prize like that.

Stella scoffed. "That old bastard has one foot in the grave, and he's still this greedy."

Asher was speechless.

'Old bastard' rolled right off her tongue.

Yes, this was exactly the right vibe. He prayed she stayed this way forever.

The version of Stella from the last three years had been unbearable.

"Did they dig up the cryo-chamber yesterday?"

Asher nodded. "It's gone. The whole site was bulldozed. The Fitzgeralds got the news immediately and rushed over."

"They'll probably come looking for you today."

Stella replied, "Let them. I'd love it if they came looking for me. After all..."

Her cold smile deepened. "I'm a big fan of excitement these days."

If they came to her, it saved her the trouble of hunting them down.

Besides, if the Fitzgeralds didn't come to her, she was going to go after them as soon as she finished dealing with Lawrence anyway.

Asher was speechless.

A fan of excitement.

Her excitement was basically a death sentence for everyone else involved.

Stella asked, "Is Rainey Fitzgerald actually dead?"
