The One I Should've Married (Stella and Sebastian) novel Chapter 143

All the shares confiscated!

The company was back in her hands...!

Her ruthless, tyrannical methods truly left them no room to breathe.

If that was how she wanted to play it, she couldn't blame her stepmother for being equally heartless!

"One week. Just endure it for another week. After a week, everything she took will be returned to us on a silver platter."

Beatrice spoke through gritted teeth.

Just wait. One week.

Valerie scoffed. "With her psycho attitude, you think she'll give anything back?"

Valerie didn't believe it!

Neither he nor Xander had any idea what Beatrice was actually plotting.

But hearing Beatrice sound so confident that Stella would return everything in a week made Valerie instinctively skeptical.

Beatrice insisted, "Trust me, she will! So for this week, don't fight her. Just lay low and endure it."

The moment she finished speaking, Valerie's phone buzzed with a notification.

His bank card had been frozen.

Valerie froze.

Wait, what...

What did this mean? Why was his bank card frozen?

Sensing his sudden silence, Beatrice asked, "What's wrong?"

"My... my bank card just got frozen!"

"What?!"

Beatrice gasped into the receiver.

For a bank card to be frozen right now—was this a coincidence, or... was it Stella's doing?

No, she shouldn't have the authority. It was impossible.

She had only used brute force to snatch the company back. Freezing the corporate accounts was one thing.

But freezing their personal bank accounts? Absolutely impossible.

Panic gripped Beatrice's heart.

She was still trying to convince herself it couldn't be Stella when her own phone buzzed with the exact same notification.

Staring at the screen, Beatrice was dumbfounded. "How is this possible?"

Her pupils shrank in pure disbelief.

"Mom, what..."

"My bank card was just frozen too!"
