The One I Should've Married (Stella and Sebastian) novel Chapter 47

Regina Sterling likely assumed that Sebastian wouldn't step in to help Stella right away.

That was why she sent her own people.

Honestly, Stella didn't need the help...

Dealing with a bunch of useless trash didn't require backup!

But keeping Felicia around would at least give her mother some peace of mind.

...

Outside the cafe.

Julian finally realized Asher had brought him to the very cafe Sebastian had opened for Stella.

His face turned a sickly shade of green. "Let me go, you bastards!!"

How did that wretched woman still have the audacity to show her face here?

What was her angle? Three years ago, she forced her way into marrying him, and now that she was demanding a divorce, she wanted to rekindle an old flame with Sebastian?

Thinking she could sink her claws into Sebastian Vance as a divorcee was absolute delusion!

His shouts fell on deaf ears.

He was dragged into the cafe by his arms. It was empty at this hour, but even so, Julian felt utterly humiliated.

The group marched straight toward Stella's ocean-view private room.

Asher knocked respectfully. "Ms. Channing."

"Come in."

Stella's voice filtered through the door.

The moment Asher pushed it open, he grabbed Julian by the collar.

Before Julian could react, Asher hurled him forward with a heavy *thud*, slamming him directly at Stella's feet.

"Ugh—"

Julian groaned in pain.

His hand, which Stella had stomped on and fractured yesterday, flared with fresh agony.

Damn it... It was bad enough that she was a savage, but she surrounded herself with barbarians, too!

He looked up, meeting the cold amusement in Stella's eyes, and his rage boiled over.

Between losing Westside Heights and the indignity of having to stash Ivy in a hotel.

Julian's fury completely blinded him to just how dangerous Stella had become.

He spat at her, "Stella Channing, you shameless b—"

*Slap!*

Before the word could fully leave his mouth, Stella's hand cracked across his face!

Julian's head whipped to the side, his ears ringing violently.

Before he could even process the shock, she backhanded him across the other side of his face!
