The One I Should've Married (Stella and Sebastian) novel Chapter 119

Inside the lounge.

Asher looked at Stella. "Will Lawrence sell us out?"

"Him? He wouldn't dare."

Stella scoffed.

The Sinclair family was nothing but a bunch of cowards who bullied the weak and cowered before the strong. Besides, was she the kind of person who feared being sold out?

She hadn't been joking with Lawrence earlier.

If Carson found out she was here before handing over the ten million, this office was going to become a very bloody playground.

"You're backing him into a total corner," Asher remarked.

Ten million dollars.

Lawrence fully understood what kind of monster Nathaniel was, and he clearly saw how unhinged Stella had become.

If he took ten million from Nathaniel's man and then failed to hand Stella over, Nathaniel would absolutely destroy him.

But if he didn't secure that ten million for her today, Stella wasn't going to let him walk out of this room alive either.

It was a guaranteed death sentence either way.

Stella replied casually, "Relax. As long as he never leaves the country again, he can survive here in the city."

Nathaniel had to reach out to a nobody like Lawrence, which proved something.

It proved he had no real power or reach in this city. Even if Lawrence scammed him out of ten million, as long as Lawrence didn't go abroad, Nathaniel couldn't touch him.

Asher nodded. "Fair point."

Stella glanced at the cold, black object resting on his waist. "That toy is pretty realistic."

It had successfully terrified multiple people over the past two days.

Asher remained silent.

Uh...

He was refusing to answer that question.

"Will they actually hand over the ten million?" Asher asked, changing the subject.

It wasn't a small amount.

Before coming here, Asher had no idea Stella was planning to extort them.

He thought she was just coming to beat Lawrence up.

But this method of torture was far worse than breaking Lawrence's legs. It was psychological warfare.

Caught between a foreign crime lord and Stella, the living grim reaper.

He was basically being roasted alive over an open fire.

Stella replied, "That's not our problem. Lawrence will figure it out."

Regardless, she wanted her money.
