Beatrice choked on her words.
Hearing Stella heavily emphasize the word 'mistress,' Beatrice's breathing grew ragged with fury on the other end of the line.
Mistress. She was deliberately highlighting exactly how she had secured her position.
Damn it all, she was still just a junior in the family, how dare she be so insulting?
That old couple had raised a girl with absolutely zero manners!
"Stella!" Beatrice suppressed her annoyance. "Can we talk?"
Stella chuckled. "You want to talk to me?"
"Yes."
"Do you even have the right?"
Stella was running hot, and anyone who dared step up to her was going to get scorched!
Especially Beatrice. In Stella's eyes, not even Vincent was qualified to talk to her right now.
Let alone Beatrice, the mistress who schemed her way to the top.
Beatrice was left utterly speechless.
Stella continued coldly, "I know that eighty percent of the reason Vincent refuses to hand over the company is because of those two bastards you birthed!"
"You—!"
Barely a few sentences in, and Beatrice was already on the verge of a heart attack!
Three years ago, she had experienced Stella's vicious tongue firsthand.
But hadn't she kept quiet and stayed out of the way for the last three years?
Why was she suddenly... wait, could it be because...?
The thought made Beatrice's face shift. She took a deep breath, desperately suppressing her fury!
She was taking it too far.
Here she was, swallowing her pride to call her, maintaining the utmost humility.
And the result was an unapologetic barrage of insults!
Stella sneered. "You'd better not test my temper, because I promise you, I don't have one!"
Beatrice fell silent.
She didn't? Then what was all that submissive, meek behavior at the Sinclair house for the past three years?
How exactly did Julian, that useless coward, trigger her this badly?
From loving him enough to force a marriage, to turning completely hostile—now everyone was suffering the fallout!
