The One I Should've Married (Stella and Sebastian) novel Chapter 24

"You... you... you..."

Stella dropped the smile, her face instantly radiating a dangerous, threatening aura.

Vincent was so choked up by her sudden shift that he couldn't speak!

Stella warned softly, "Remember. Three days!"

"In your dreams! You willingly gave up the company the moment you married Julian three years ago. It's too late to back out now!"

Vincent was breathing heavily, his stance remaining stubborn.

Stella narrowed her eyes. "It seems you don't need three days."

Just like the final chance she gave the Sinclairs—she gave them the opportunity to return things, and they refused...!

Did Vincent actually think she was negotiating with him?

Hearing the deadly chill in Stella's voice, Vincent's heart skipped a beat. "What... what are you planning?"

The unease he felt earlier was growing stronger by the second as he faced this version of Stella.

Stella let out a dark chuckle. "I'll just rip it from your hands, obviously."

He wanted to play hardball?

Vincent seemed to have forgotten that her grandparents had groomed her specifically to be the heir.

She had inherited every ounce of their ruthlessness.

Being stubborn with her wouldn't end well for anyone.

...

Stella left.

Only then did Vincent realize his back was drenched in cold sweat from facing his own daughter.

"That ungrateful wretch doesn't even see me as her father!"

Vincent was furious.

Thinking about her attitude earlier made him want to explode.

Beatrice chimed in, "She actually has her eyes on the company. It's ridiculous. She gave it up herself three years ago."

Bringing up the company...

Vincent remembered her using the phrase 'by force'.

Considering the earth-shattering changes in her today, he didn't doubt for a second that she meant every word.

But had she forgotten? It wasn't three years ago anymore. She didn't have her grandparents protecting her!

Take it by force? With what power? With what leverage?

Remembering that she had zero backing, Vincent closed his eyes. "Ignore her. She's just bluffing."

"But the way she acted at the Sinclair estate today... it didn't look like a bluff," Ivy interjected timidly, her voice filled with grievance.

If it was just a bluff, she would never have dared to cause such a massive scene.

Remembering how Stella humiliated her at Westside Heights and beat Julian to a pulp.
