The One I Should've Married (Stella and Sebastian) novel Chapter 204

Stella let out a low chuckle. "So, how does it feel having that dark magic used on your own daughter?"

"She's the one the Prescotts have their eye on. How can she be entangled with Julian now? Tell me..."

Stella paused, and her laughter echoed sharply through the phone.

"Everyone knows about her arrangement with Barnaby Prescott! Now that she's throwing herself at Julian, wouldn't you say that's a massive slap in the face to the Prescotts?"

Beatrice froze.

Her chest contracted violently at the thought.

"Tell me, do you think the Prescotts will skin her alive?"

"You...!!!" Beatrice gasped.

At that moment, she was trembling uncontrollably.

Before she could say another word, Stella hung up.

Listening to the dial tone, Beatrice felt a chilling dread seep into her bones.

Stella was right. The Prescotts!

If they found out Xander was throwing herself at Julian, wouldn't they...?

Remembering the Prescott family's ruthless reputation, Beatrice turned pale, her blood running cold.

With shaking hands, she dialed the number the Sinclair Group had used to contact her. She needed to know if they had paid Channing Group yet.

If they had, she could leave for Thailand immediately.

It wasn't just about dragging Stella back to the Sinclair family anymore; it was about saving her daughter!

But the call went unanswered.

She dialed again, and still, no one picked up.

Little did she know, the Sinclair Group was in absolute chaos.

After a brief moment of peace, the company had completely imploded.

The two billion dollars that had just been deposited into the Sinclair account had vanished without a trace!

Yes, vanished into thin air!

The entire executive floor was in a state of sheer panic.

"Call the police. Call them right now..." Eleanor ordered.

She was so angry she was seeing spots.

Two billion dollars, completely wiped from their account. The sheer magnitude of the loss was staggering.

Hearing Eleanor suggest calling the police, Arthur shot her a lethal glare. "What police? Shut your mouth!"

"You..." Eleanor stammered.

"Think about where that money came from!"

Call the police?

Did they dare call the police?

That money was completely undocumented. If the authorities looked into it, they would uncover things they definitely shouldn't.

"Then what are we supposed to do? Just let the money disappear?" Eleanor demanded.

Two billion dollars!

Just gone like that?

Arthur's brain was buzzing with fury, his thoughts a tangled, frantic mess.

"Shut up!"
