The One I Should've Married (Stella and Sebastian) novel Chapter 53

Stella scoffed. "You really are stupid. How can you even ask a question like that?"

Vivienne's face burned.

How many times had Stella humiliated her since yesterday?

The entire Sinclair family, from top to bottom—even Eleanor—hadn't escaped her vicious tongue.

Vivienne trembled with rage. Fine... they would divorce!

"If you want a divorce, fine, but you don't get to dictate the terms. You and Julian were married for three years. That's a long-term commitment!"

"A marriage of that length comes with a different set of settlement rules, doesn't it?"

She had literally stripped the Sinclair house bare today.

What was this? When she wanted to marry in, she bent over backward to please them, and now that she was done, she wanted to take it all back?

There was no such logic in the world!

Julian glanced at his mother, then at Stella, moving his lips to say something.

But his jaw was still severely bruised from Stella's grip. The moment he tried to open his mouth, a sharp pain shot through it, rendering him mute.

Hearing Vivienne's argument.

Stella set down her fork. "Are you trying to negotiate divorce terms with me?"

A long-term marriage settlement?

Hah!

Vivienne stood her ground. "I know I can't stop you today, but three years ago, Julian didn't want to marry you. You forced your way into this."

"If it weren't for you, he could have married the woman he actually loves! You wasted three years of his life, and now you have the nerve to..."

Stella interrupted her. "I don't recall holding a gun to his head."

She cut Vivienne off effortlessly.

Leaning back, she cast a lazy, mocking glance at them. "Did you forget, Mrs. Sinclair? I paid five hundred million dollars for him. Sure, he didn't want to, but you were the ones who forced him to marry me!"

"You..."

Paid! Paid! Paid!

Since yesterday, she hadn't stopped repeating that she 'bought' Julian for five hundred million dollars. It was the ultimate insult.

Vivienne and Julian's faces twisted in synchronized fury.

Stella smiled. "Am I wrong? You guys absolutely forced him!"

Vivienne and Julian were entirely speechless.

Yes, the entire Sinclair family had pressured Julian into the marriage.
