The One I Should've Married (Stella and Sebastian) novel Chapter 126

"His money isn't a windfall to me."

Holly nodded rapidly. "Right, right, right! That's not a windfall. That's joint marital assets."

Hearing the words 'joint marital assets,' Stella smiled in satisfaction.

She always loved how quick-witted Holly was.

"So how did you get rich? Did you finally take back the Channing Group?!"

At the mention of the company, Stella scoffed. "That's not a windfall either. That belongs to me in the first place!"

Besides, she was in no rush to deal with the company just yet.

The one who should be panicking right now was Vincent.

While she had been trapped in that bizarre state of mind, he had distributed shares to Xander, Valerie, and Beatrice.

Those shares were about to become incredibly radioactive for him.

"True, the company isn't a windfall either," Holly agreed.

It was rightfully hers.

"So what exactly is this massive payout?"

Stella smirked. "I extorted it from Lawrence."

Holly's jaw dropped.

Lawrence? She extorted it from him?

Since when did that guy have any money to extort? The Sinclair Group was practically bankrupt.

Every single one of their projects, domestic and international, had completely imploded.

The financial hemorrhage was beyond catastrophic.

There was absolutely no way he had cash lying around for Stella to steal...

"Fifteen billion!"

"W-What?" Holly stammered.

The sheer magnitude of the number left her reeling. She stared at Stella in pure disbelief.

Fifteen billion dollars...

Did Stella even hear herself? Lawrence was broke! How did she squeeze fifteen billion out of a dry sponge?

The reality of it was too insane to comprehend.

As they strolled through the luxury boutiques, Stella recounted the entire saga from the past two days.

Holly was shocked to hear the international syndicates were involved.

By the end of the story, she was cursing up a storm. "Those Sinclair bastards are absolute scum! When they couldn't milk you for any more benefits, they actually tried to sell you!"

"They knew they couldn't get what they wanted from me, so they opted for a quick cash out," Stella said dismissively.
