Everyone.
Everyone assumed that Sebastian and the Vances hated Stella to the core, and that her mother was just a nobody from the country.
They firmly believed she had no one to back her up, so they completely dismissed the terrifying threats she made today.
At Sinclair Manor.
Vivienne and Julian had just returned from the hospital. The elders were already asleep.
Vivienne fumed, "That wretched bitch Stella actually had the nerve to hit me!"
Her arm was now in a cast; Stella had twisted her wrist so hard she fractured it.
Julian's foot was also fractured from being stomped on, and it was still heavily swollen.
While the rest were just superficial wounds, they wouldn't be able to show their faces in public for a while.
Thinking about the whole ordeal made Vivienne seethe with rage!
She had zero respect for her elders. If it wasn't for the assets her grandparents left her, and the specific blueprint the old man wanted...
The moment she handed everything over, they would kick her straight to the curb!
Julian's expression was equally dark.
Vivienne gnashed her teeth. "She really thinks she's still the high-and-mighty Stella from three years ago."
"She doesn't even realize her grandparents are nothing but ashes now, and the Vances hate her guts! If she doesn't play the dutiful wife, where else can she possibly go?"
The grandparents who shielded her were gone.
Her previously perfect fiancé hated her to the bone.
When she demanded to marry Julian three years ago, Vincent seized the chance to strip her of everything.
Divorce? If she really went through with it, she'd end up on the streets!
She really didn't know where Stella got the audacity to act so arrogant today!
She had originally planned to let her keep a tiny corner in the family if she behaved after handing over her assets.
But now? Not a chance!
Julian scowled. "Grandpa and Grandma still want me to coax her."
Bringing this up pissed him off even more. Couldn't they see he had been beaten half to death?
And they still expected him to grovel to her. What was he, a joke?
Vivienne wasn't happy about the coaxing part either, but then she remembered the fortune Stella's grandparents left behind...
