The One I Should've Married (Stella and Sebastian) novel Chapter 76

Stella said coolly, "Mr. Channing, I suggest you look at the bigger picture. The Channing Group desperately needs those projects from the Prescotts right now!"

Vincent was completely horrified!!!

"You know exactly how hollowed out the company has become in your hands over the last three years, don't you?"

"The Channing Group needs a massive cash injection, and a marriage alliance is undoubtedly the fastest solution!"

"As your daughter, this is Xander's duty."

He dared to gut the company for three years, so she would use his beloved daughter to fill the crater he created.

Vincent snapped, "Why don't you marry him yourself?!"

"Me? I'm a divorcee. They wouldn't want me!"

Wasn't that exactly what all of them thought? Both the Channings and the Sinclairs.

They all assumed that after three years of marriage to Julian, alienating Sebastian, and losing her backing, she was nothing more than an easy target to manipulate.

Now, Stella was throwing their own assumptions right back in their faces!

They wanted to mock her?

Bring it on!

Sure enough, hearing Stella's self-deprecating yet biting comeback made Vincent's face turn purple with rage.

"Even so, you don't have to choose Barnaby Prescott! What the hell is he?"

"If not him, then who? Which normal, wealthy heir in the entire city would ever want the daughter of a mistress?"

"You ask what he is? He is a Prescott!"

Vincent had nothing to say.

Stella continued, "The head of the Prescott family said Mr. Barnaby is quite fond of Xander. If she marries into their family, the Channings will secure multiple lucrative projects through them."

"You... you..."

Vincent felt like he was going to pass out!

She was literally selling Xander off!

He originally thought she kidnapped Xander just to force him to hand over the company!

Now he realized he had vastly underestimated his daughter.

Her schemes were so deep they were incomprehensible!

"When... when did this happen...?"

His heart twisted in absolute agony.

"When? Did you seriously think I spent the last two days just beating up that coward Julian?"

Vincent was left reeling!!!

Beating up Julian and demanding the company back!

Wasn't that enough to keep her busy?

In this moment, Vincent finally grasped how truly terrifying Stella was.

She beat Julian half to death just to secure her divorce!

She kidnapped Xander just to reclaim the company.

But now he realized, all of that was merely... the surface!

She had actually managed to secretly align herself with the Prescotts!

Stella stated, "The details with the Prescotts are already finalized. You don't have the luxury of saying 'no'."

Vincent was speechless.

Finalized?
