The One I Should've Married (Stella and Sebastian) novel Chapter 133

Hearing the sheer terror in Xander's voice, Beatrice shook with uncontrollable rage.

That vicious bitch!

What exactly had she done to Xander...

Why was her daughter so broken? And those items... they were actually from her own flesh and blood?

How dare she...

Beatrice felt like she was going to pass out. Before she could form a response, Xander wailed, "She just wants the company, right? Give it to her! Tell Dad to sign everything over!"

"She doesn't just want the company! She's forcing me to marry Barnaby, that absolute simpleton!"

At the mention of Barnaby, Beatrice ground her teeth so hard her jaw ached.

Xander was completely shattered.

Being locked away by Stella's men without any contact with the outside world had driven her to the brink.

Her phone had been confiscated until now.

"Agree to it, Mom! Agree to everything!"

She had no idea why Stella had suddenly reverted to this terrifying version of herself.

But right now, she would agree to anything just to escape.

She was done fighting...

Standing in front of the filthy, dilapidated wooden hut in Montrose Village, Beatrice couldn't believe what she was hearing.

"W-What did you say?"

"If I stay with her, I'm going to die! Mom, just agree to her terms! Please, just get me out of here first!"

Hearing Xander utter the word 'die' sent a fresh wave of panic through Beatrice.

What kind of sadistic torture was Stella putting her through?!

She was so broken she was actually willing to marry a simpleton.

Fighting the violent trembling in her chest, Beatrice urged, "Xander, listen to me. Just hold on a little longer. She'll be going back to the Sinclairs soon, and once she does, she'll become docile again..."

"I can't wait! Mom, I'm going to die! I'm really going to die!"

At the word 'wait,' Xander completely lost her grip on reality.

She shrieked hysterically through the phone.

"Can't you just pretend to agree?! Just lie to her!"

"If you don't agree, she's going to kill me! She's actually going to kill me!"

Beatrice was stunned.

Pretend... to agree?

Yes, she could just fake a surrender...

"Okay, okay! I'll call her right now. I agree to everything. I'll give her whatever she wants."

No matter what, she had to get Xander away from that psychopath first.
