What was even more shocking was how genuinely kind she had been to the Sinclair family!
Hearing her so ruthless now, Hamish drew a sharp breath. "Are you tired of playing the kind-hearted wife?"
When he said 'kind-hearted wife', his tone carried an undeniable, death-defying smirk.
"You've grown quite bold, haven't you?" Stella asked coldly.
"Not at all!" Hamish replied instantly.
"..."
"It's just that since you became a kind-hearted wife, you surely wouldn't beat us up anymore."
His repeated jabs about her being a 'kind-hearted wife' were practically puncturing Stella's lungs.
She truly wanted to rip Hamish's mouth off right now!
She let out a dark chuckle, refusing to entertain his nonsense any longer. "You and Seymour Enfield, get to the city immediately!"
"What? Seymour and I, together?"
"Yes," Stella replied simply.
"What about Carmine Industries?" Hamish asked.
"Isn't Monty there?"
"Yes."
Monty Vane was Stella's best friend at Carmine Industries. The two had been inseparable since their training days.
During her three years at the Sinclair family, Stella hadn't contacted Monty once.
Since awakening, she had been endlessly busy tearing apart the Channings, the Sinclairs, the Fitzgeralds, and the Sloanes—it was an all-out war on every front.
If she hadn't received news of Nathaniel's arrival, she wouldn't even have called Carmine Industries today.
"So what exactly are Seymour and I doing there?" Hamish asked.
"That bastard Nathaniel is coming to the city!"
Hamish paused.
Nathaniel?
Hearing that name, "I'll grab Seymour and head over immediately!"
His tone instantly laced with raw excitement.
...
Far away on the golden coast of Carmine Industries.
A man in floral board shorts and sunglasses, showing off his tanned chest, smirked. "Oh, kind-hearted Overlord, please make sure you stay alive until Seymour and I get there!"
He dropped the sarcastic remark casually.
Before Stella could respond, he hung up completely.
A mocking grin spread across his face. "Nathaniel, you bastard. Hiding for so many years, and you finally decide to show up!"
...
Listening to the dead tone, Stella's expression darkened.
Seriously...
Being delayed by that parasitic entity for three years had made her wild operatives at Carmine far too undisciplined!
It seemed that once she handled everything here, she needed to go back and whip them into shape.
Asher knocked and entered.
"Ms. Channing."
"What is it?"
Asher's eyes carried a hint of amusement, all the grim tension from Nathaniel's two billion dollar injection gone.
Stella raised an eyebrow. "What happened?"
"Xander just beat up Beatrice!" Asher announced.
Stella's eyes widened.
Her lips twitched uncontrollably.
"Beat up Beatrice?"
Wait, what kind of move was this?
