At the mention of the Vance family, Lawrence's explosive rage finally cooled into a sinister calm. He waved Danie away.
Danie quickly exited the room.
Once the office doors clicked shut, only Julian and Lawrence remained.
Lawrence shot Julian a sharp look. "When the Vances make their move against her, that is your window to coax her back."
Julian bristled. Coax her back?
Everyone in the city now believed she was a filthy woman sleeping with some old billionaire, and he was supposed to beg her to come back?
Where was his dignity? Was he just never supposed to show his face in public again?
Julian's expression was incredibly dark.
Seeing his hesitation, Lawrence gritted his teeth. "Do not screw this up."
The exact moment the Vances cornered Stella was Julian's best and only chance.
And this time...
He would make sure she never walked out of the Sinclair doors alive again.
Once they secured that blueprint... who cared about the current crisis?
Since she had ruined his chance at a twenty-billion-dollar payout, she owed them the blueprint she was hiding!!
"But Lawrence... that bitch!"
"If you can't coax her back, then Ivy..."
At the mention of Ivy, Lawrence paused, his gaze turning absolutely lethal.
His voice dropped to a freezing whisper. "Will have to die."
Julian's eyes widened in horror.
The sheer brutality in Lawrence's voice instantly snapped Julian back to reality.
He remembered Rainey. The Fitzgeralds had sent over photos of her body dumped unceremoniously on the grass.
In that moment, Julian had genuinely wanted to murder Stella himself!
She was filthy and she was evil!
"Why don't we just let the Vances kill her?"
She was incredibly bold, thinking a sugar daddy could protect her from humiliating not just the Sinclairs, but the Vances too!
If the Vances struck, she wouldn't survive.
A chaotic, destructive monster like her deserved to die...
Seeing his brother's sheer stupidity, Lawrence's eyes darkened. "Even if she dies, we need that blueprint first."
Julian fell silent.
Right. The blueprint!
Once she surrendered it, he would make her wish she was dead!
...
Just as Stella saw the online gossip about her, Julian's call came through.
Holly sat across from her, sipping her orange juice. "This has to be the Sinclairs' doing!"
"They're ruthless. Dragging their own family name through the mud just to force you to remarry Julian!"
Learning that both the Sinclairs and the Channings wanted Stella back with Julian felt like the universe's sickest joke to Holly.
They were completely shameless, all just to get their hands on whatever Stella was hiding.
Hearing the word 'remarry' immediately brought Beatrice to Stella's mind.
