The One I Should've Married (Stella and Sebastian) novel Chapter 30

She had initially given him three days, but he just had to push her into using extreme measures. Naturally, she no longer had the patience to wait that long.

Vincent stammered, "What... what are you going to do?"

"If you don't have the paperwork ready for me to take over the company by tomorrow afternoon, you'll be receiving a special gift from Xander. As for what it is, I imagine..."

Stella paused, then let out a low, dark chuckle.

To Vincent on the other end of the line, that laugh sounded like the devil himself.

"You better pray you don't find out. After all, the current me won't be sending you priceless jewelry."

Vincent froze.

Priceless jewelry?

To be fair, over the last three years, they had received quite a few lavish gifts from her for every holiday and occasion.

Because she had been so constantly generous, Vincent genuinely believed that without her grandparents to protect her, she had finally learned to be a dutiful, subservient daughter.

Even though he always secretly looked down on her desperate attempts to please him.

But now... Vincent clearly felt that the dormant, feral blood in her veins was wide awake and rushing through her once again!

Vincent opened his mouth to argue.

But Stella had already hung up.

...

That night, neither the Channings nor the Sinclairs got a wink of sleep.

Lawrence got a call from his company in the middle of the night and rushed out, saying there was a massive crisis with their overseas project!

That project was the Sinclair family's entire future. If it succeeded, they would stand shoulder to shoulder with the top families in the city.

Now, to hear there were problems...

Lawrence hurried straight to headquarters.

The rest of the Sinclairs didn't think much of it; they were just losing sleep wondering who exactly was backing Stella.

Only Stella herself...

Slept like an absolute baby.

When she woke up the next morning, Asher had already arrived at Azure Cove.
