Chapter 33 Insult My Husband Again and Face the Consequences

Stella escorted Eric to the conference room.

The people gathered outside Ava's office wore expressions of gloating.

"Miss Brown had hoped that Mr. Smith would declare Stella's ring as nothing more than green glass,

but little did she know that it was actually an authentic emerald! And to make matters worse, her client

ended up being swayed by Stella!" Someone whispered with a chuckle, "Seems like it's a classic case

of losing both the wife and the soldiers, isn't it?"

"Tsk, it's more like cutting off one's nose to spite one's face!"

"Hahaha..."

With her mind went blank, Ava stood motionless and trembled with anger.

She stomped over and slammed the door shut, creating a loud noise.

The people outside scattered, but the echoes of laughter lingered throughout the entire office space.

People had grown weary of her arrogance and tyrannical behavior. However, with her relative being a

major shareholder, they had no choice but to suppress their grievances and endure.

Witnessing her in such a pitiful state today brought them immense satisfaction.

...

After accompanying Eric to the entrance and bidding him farewell with a smile, Stella gently caressed

the ring on her hand.

Is this really an emerald?

She chuckled, the two dimples on her cheeks shining as if she had captured all the sweetness in the

world.

Upon reflection, it appeared that her luck had taken a turn for the better since marrying Liam. Orders

kept pouring in, and whenever she faced difficulties, Liam would come to her aid...

In the past, fortune tellers had predicted that she would bring good luck to her husband.

But in reality, it seemed that Liam's presence brought blessings to his wife's fortune!

She took a deep breath. The workday was coming to an end, and she had plans to go home and

prepare dinner for him tonight.

However, as she turned around, she met Ava's hostile gaze.

"Hello, Miss Brown." Stella greeted calmly and was about to head upstairs when she heard Ava's

infuriated mockery from behind. "Hmph, an emerald? I wonder where he stole it from."

Stella abruptly turned around and locked her gaze on Ava. "What did you just say?"

"Since your husband was a convict, he must have engaged in illegal activities." Ava continued to taunt.

"Stella, you really have a strong spirit! It seems that you two are a perfect match, with one stealing

objects and the other stealing hearts!"

Stella clenched her lips tightly, her face turning pale.

Ava sneered and deliberately looked up. The surveillance camera was flashing red, capturing every

moment of the scene.

She was a cunning person. Every time she provoked Stella, she deliberately chose a location with

surveillance cameras. This way, no matter how provocative her words were, Stella would not succumb

to physical violence as long as she maintained her composure.

Once Stella laid a hand on Ava, she would be permanently expelled from the company!

"Stella." Ava looked at Stella's ring. "It's not shameful to be poor, but engaging in theft is unacceptable! Nôvel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner.

As a fine lady, why did you choose to marry such a man?"

"Oh, I get it. A man who has spent a long time in prison... I suppose he must have strong desires in

certain aspects. Heh, is he particularly skilled in that area, capable of satisfying your needs?"

Taking a deep breath, Stella was determined not to suppress her anger this time. She looked at Ava

and asked calmly, "Ava, can we have a proper conversation?"

At the sight of her humble demeanor, Ava felt a slight reduction in her anger. Is she finally

acknowledging her inferiority? At least she has some self-awareness.

"Ava," Stella continued softly, "this order from Mr. Smith is yours, and I won't compete with you for it.

After the deal is done, I'll give you all the commission, credited under your name. Is that acceptable to

you?"

Ava snorted, "That's wise of you to recognize that!"

"Can we find a more private place to talk? It's quite crowded here, and there are certain things I'd

rather not discuss in this environment."

Ava agreed and followed Stella as they bypassed the company building, eventually reaching a

secluded and open space behind it.

Stella surveyed her surroundings and noticed a small grove nearby. The place was tucked away and

seldom visited. Most importantly, there were no surveillance cameras in sight. She had intentionally

selected this "ideal place" for their conversation.

"Hurry up and say what you want to say!" Ava maintained her arrogant demeanor. "I want to leave work

early!"

Stella lowered her head, remaining silent. Sensing the unusual atmosphere, Ava was about to urge her

again when, suddenly, a slap landed on her face! The resounding smack echoed, and her cheek

instantly stung!

Ava was dumbfounded. Before she could react, Stella delivered another powerful slap!

She stumbled back a few steps and ended up sitting on the ground.

"W-What are you doing?" She covered her swollen cheeks as she looked up at Stella.

Stella stared coldly at her, no longer possessing the soft and easily bullied demeanor. It was as if she

had adorned an impenetrable armor over her body.

Grabbing Ava by the collar, she pulled her up and raised her hand, ready to deliver a third slap. Ava

screamed, instinctively closing her eyes and shielding her head with her hands.

Stella's hand paused in midair.

"The first slap is for humiliating me!"

"The second slap is for slandering my husband!"

"And this third-"

"Stella, if you dare to hit me again, I'll-"

Before Ava could finish shouting, Stella swiftly and decisively slapped her once more.

"The third slap is a warning to you!" Stella explained through gritted teeth, "Dare to slander my

husband again, and your fate will be even worse than this! Don't think I won't fight back! This time, I'm

sparing you the public humiliation, but if you dare to gossip again, I'll make sure everyone sees how

your face swells up!"

"I don't mind quitting the company if it comes to that. You can go around the world shouting that I,

Stella Taylor, hit you. Ha! Since I've done it, I'm not afraid to take responsibility. But if you continue to

provoke me, you'll face the consequences!"
