The Day I Kissed An Older Man novel Chapter 2092

Stella then continued to explain in a pitiful tone, "The power outage came so suddenly, and the entire building was plunged into darkness. I was just instinctively afraid."

She doubled down simply because she knew how influential Beatrice was. The old lady was capable of carrying out that threat. As a result, playing the long game was better, for the day would come when she became Lucas' wife and thus exact revenge on Beatrice.

"Do you think I'm that easily fooled? I've already checked the situation before I came here." The old lady walked slowly to the main door and reached out to pull the power box switch. The power then returned in an instant, and the entire house was bright again. "What else do you have to say now?" Beatrice asked coldly.

Stella stammered in stupefaction. "This... This can't be. The switch must've tripped..."

"You're a decent woman, Miss Stella," Beatrice replied with a smile. "I know that your father once helped Lucas, so I hope this situation between us won't get any uglier than it already is. This is my last warning to you. If you attempt this again, I'll make sure that no film director will ever seek your services again. Do I make myself clear?"

Frightened by the old woman's smiling facade, Stella replied, "I... I understand. I won't bother Lucas anymore!" She had stopped just shy of swearing an oath.

Beatrice knew that such promises were as good as empty, but it did not matter as much. She showed up there in person because she wanted to make the Riveras' stance clear to Stella. If Stella continued to insist, then she would have to face the brunt of Beatrice's wrath.
