The One I Should've Married (Stella and Sebastian) novel Chapter 179

When Stella and Sebastian returned to the office after lunch, Xander was already there, with Asher standing guard.

Seeing Stella walk in, Xander glared at her with furious eyes. "Stella Channing, how dare you!"

*Smack!*

Stella closed the distance in three quick steps.

She delivered a vicious backhand straight across Xander's face.

Stella was in prime physical condition, and her stamina was off the charts. The force of the blow was so intense it instantly loosened Xander's teeth.

Xander collapsed to the floor.

Her vision blurred. Clutching her burning cheek, her entire body trembled in agony.

Before she could even process the pain, Stella bent down and seized her jaw in a vice-like grip.

"Ugh—"

Xander let out a muffled groan, feeling as if her jawbone was about to shatter!

She instinctively tried to pull away.

But Stella's grip tightened, sending a wave of excruciating pain through Xander. It felt like her jaw was literally being dislocated!

"L-let me go!"

Xander shuddered violently.

The pain was amplified as Stella's perfectly manicured nails dug sharply into her skin, causing a suffocating wave of despair to wash over her.

She's insane. She's completely insane...

The entire city was watching her every move, yet she still dared to treat her like this.

Stella let out a dark laugh. "You love crying so much? You really are exactly like your mother. You reek of a cheap homewrecker's stench!"

"But your methods are definitely a step up from hers! She only knew how to scheme in the shadows, while you got the whole city to do your dirty work!"

To come up with a stunt like this.

She had to admit, Xander was significantly smarter than Beatrice.

She had seen the online comments.

Xander had fully exposed her status as an illegitimate child, and to the gullible masses, it came across as 'brave honesty'!

And since when did honesty automatically make you the victim?

It was utterly laughable...

"L-let me go!"

Meeting the crazed, icy glare in Stella's eyes, Xander finally felt true fear.

*Smack!*

Another brutal slap landed on Xander's face.

This time, the tears streaming down her cheeks were entirely genuine.

She had no idea where Stella got this monstrous strength. She felt like her brain was rattling against her skull.

Seeing Xander completely broken after just two slaps, Stella scoffed and straightened up. "Trying to guilt-trip me with morals? Hah!"

"Did you forget? I've never been someone burdened by morals!"

Xander was utterly paralyzed.

Hearing those words, the last remnants of color drained from her face.
