"You, you, you''re unbelievable." Cloudia couldn''t catch her breath. She was so furious that she fainted. Ste calmly dialed the in-house phone to Tabitha, "Call an ambnce, someone''s passed out."


    "What? Passed out?"


    Cloudia passed out? She seemed so sturdy, to faint here, was she trying to pull a fast one on the boss?


    "I''m on it."


    A scam?


    Not on Tabitha''s watch.


    She dialed 911 and made a few follow-up calls, getting an ambnce there in just over ten minutes. In a haze of concern, Cloudia was whisked away by the ambnce.


    Tabitha returned, her face a picture of difort.


    "Boss, she might have a heart condition, maybe steer clear of such folks in the future, just in case they try to pull something."


    Rtions were already strained, and if the other party harbored any ideas of deception, it would be quite the headache. And given the kind of people they were, scamming Ste seemed entirely usible. Ste uttered, "Heart condition? She just got irritated."


    "What?"


    "By me!"


    Tabitha was like, "..."


    Well, to get someone that worked up, just how ruthless was the boss?


    But thinking of what the Larkin family did to Ste, Tabitha felt it was deserved. They might as well drop dead for all she cared.


    Ste instructed, "Enough with the schadenfreude, I''ve got a task for you, I''ve sent the details to your email."


    Saying this, Ste handed Tabitha the information Idris had found, including an address and a phone number.


    "Print this out and mail it to this address."


    Jaxon sure was generous, probably because of the child that woman bore him, he had set her up in a nice ce - a vimunity. The file clearly stated that the woman now had a personal driver, and Jaxon was spending a good deal on her. Except for not granting her the title of Mrs. Larkin, it seemed he provided everything else.


    Tabitha epted, "Got it."


    ...


    Cloudia had been overwhelmed by anger. Then Yorick and Jaxon would definitely make trouble for Ste.


    No sooner had Tabitha left than she returned to report, "Boss, Jaxon Larkin is here."


    At the mention of Jaxon, Tabitha''s voice was noticeably contemptuous. She must have seen the file.


    A man, ying the field. Though many men did, it was that minority that were particrly despicable.


    Ste answered, "Let him in. And add that woman on Twitter, send her a snippet."


    "Got it."


    Tabitha understood Ste''s intention.


    These people had too much idle


    time if they were bothering her; i et


    they wouldn''t let her live in peace, she''d make sure their worlds were turned upside down.


    As Tabitha turned and left, Jaxon entered, his face stormy.


    It had been days! In those days, although he hadn''t fully grasped the extent of the man behind Ste, he had felt their influence.


    Especially recalling StarRiver Corp.''s words, ''Her partnership? We can''t and wouldn''t dare to break it.''


    And that wasn''t all, they had StarRiver Corp., such a huge


    ????


    vel


    , iming they t


    dare break off their partnership with Ste.


    Who would believe that?


    Thatst ''And you are?'' was not just arrogant but hinted at the power backing Ste.


    Was that man cherishing her so much?


    It made all their ns against Ste fall through.


    He had thought she was an easy


    target, but she turned out to beet


    prickly chestnut. Attempting to grasp her barehanded only got him at handful of thorns.


    Jaxon, seething with anger, pulled out a chair and sat down, "You''re quite something, we all underestimated you."


    Ste replied, "Weren''t you saying you''d shut down my studio? It''s been a couple of days, yet I''ve seen no move from you."
