The One I Should've Married (Stella and Sebastian) novel Chapter 121

Asher set the plan into motion immediately.

Within minutes, news arrived that Carson had been taken away.

A satisfied smirk played on Stella's lips. "Good work. If he thinks he can come to this city and kidnap me, he clearly doesn't know who he's messing with."

They had brought the fight directly to her doorstep; did they really expect her to just roll over and take it?

So forget fifteen billion dollars—even for a hundred and fifty billion, that bastard wasn't making it out of the city alive.

Asher was speechless.

Well...

She hadn't let anyone take advantage of her anywhere else, but hadn't she willingly endured three years of mistreatment at the Sinclair family's hands?

Asher wisely kept that thought to himself.

At the same time, Lawrence received the news and stormed into the breakroom, burning with rage.

"You did this, didn't you?"

Lawrence glared at Stella, his teeth grinding together.

Stella raised an eyebrow, casually brushing back her perfectly styled hair. "I have no idea what you're talking about."

"You don't need to play dumb with me. I know exactly what kind of person you are. Haven't you dropped the act after three years with my family?"

Other than the fact that her entire three-year marriage was a calculated performance, Lawrence couldn't think of any other explanation.

She had played her part entirely too well...

She had actually made them all forget what kind of succubus she had been three years ago.

"You had Carson taken right from the front doors of the Sinclair Group. Are you trying to get me killed?"

Even though he wasn't fully immersed in the underground workings of the international markets, he knew exactly how terrifying Nathaniel was.

A year ago, that man had found out the Sinclairs were in trouble and offered to let him act as an informant in the city.

Lawrence had refused...

The Sinclair ancestors would roll in their graves if he had agreed!

But that single interaction had been enough to show him exactly what kind of ruthless monster Nathaniel was.

"You just walked away with fifteen billion, and now you've kidnapped his man! Is there anything you won't do?"

"Just admit it. You want me dead, don't you?"

Lawrence roared viciously.

Stella watched his furious breakdown with a bright, predatory smile. "What does your life or death have to do with me?"

Lawrence froze.

Stella continued, "I wanted the money, but I never said I was letting the man walk."

"..."

"As for whether you live or die, Lawrence, I couldn't care less."

Lawrence's heart plummeted into a bottomless abyss.

A monster. She was an absolute monster...
