Chapter 26
"That girl seems to know something, she just threatened Janetta with it, so she's freaking out. Unless something unexpected happens, she'll go looking for trouble with that girl."
So, Boss, are you trying to show off your protective husband skills? The real overbearing president had turned into a wife-obsessed maniac, not letting the future president's wife suffer even a tiny bit of grievance?
Sebastian frowned and asked: "What's with that look ?"
Martin bent over and flattered: "I'm looking at a future top-notch husband!"
A top-notch husband like hell, it was definitely not him!
That girl had such a rotten temper, she drove him crazy and made him mad as hell. If he can be a good husband, pigs must be flying!
If it wasn't because she asked him to take responsibility for marrying her, who would want a wife like that!
"Just get it done quickly. No need for direct exposure, just secretly throw the photos to Cyrus. He and Janetta have a terrible relationship, he'll know how to turn this mess into a big drama!"
Janetta might now face the danger of a tarnished reputation, and she should have no time to take care of that girl.
That annoying girl even scoffed at him for being afraid of causing trouble with Janetta and shifting the blame onto someone else. Did he really look like he was afraid of that woman at all?
In fact, he just felt that the girl had a terrible temper and needed to be disciplined, so he pushed her off to get some taste of that ire, hoping she could learn something. But it ended up driving her to run away...
...
At a café near the Skyline Corporation building.
Because of her illness, Marilyn couldn't eat anything and only ordered a glass of lemon water, then she sat there patiently waiting.
The longer Stephanie stayed upstairs, the more at ease Marilyn felt.
With her daughter's future taken care of, this mother was relieved. Even if the treatment failed and she died, she would have no regrets. However, at this moment, seeing her daughter return with a worried face, Marilyn became anxious again.
What happened? Aren't they getting along well?
"Mom, didn't we agree to go
shopping and have a meal together? Let's go. Although Stephanie was in a heavy mood now, she still didn't want to bring this negative energy to her mom.
After all, her mom was sick.
Marilyn looked at her cautiously and said, "Steph, you and Seb..."
"Mom, don't worry about those things. I'm getting along just fine with your Seb!" Stephanie said helplessly.
Marilyn was amused, "What do you mean 'my Seb'... what nonsense are you talking about?"
"Alright, Mom, this doesn't matter.
Since you
are in such a good mood
today and I just got paid, let's go
shopping!" Please, just stop
mentioning him!
Marilyn thought the young couple must be shy and didn't want to talk about their relationship.
So she didn't discuss it any further, not wanting to upset Stephanie and ending up with her becoming disobedient.
Seeing that her mom finally stopped asking, Stephanie felt relieved and took her to a nearby mall for shopping.
During shopping, it was mostly like: "Steph, this skirt will look great on you!"
"My daughter is so beautiful!"
"These shoes will look perfect with that dress."
"Steph, let's buy some skincare products for you too! You should learn how to take care of your facial skin."
"Mom, didn't you want me to come out and go shopping with you? Now we are just buying stuff for me." Stephanie said helplessly, as she had been dressing up like a doll by her mother for half an afternoon.Exclusive content © by Nô(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.
Marilyn laughed and replied, "I also bought stuff for myself, didn't I just buy a set of clothes?"
"But I've bought several sets... I don't have many occasions to put on a dress, so there's no need to waste money buying so many."
"How is this a waste? When you meet Seb in the future, please don't dress like today. Do not give him the impression that you have no taste..."
