Chapter 17
Everyone was stunned upon hearing Stacy’s words Taye was eager to see Celeste soller and looked at the latter gloatingly, William frowned slightly but didn’t say anything, tackly agreeing to Stacy’s request, Dely Louis was somewhat besitant.
“I–I don’t think that’s a good idea.”
It was humiliating for Celeste to get on her knees and apologize,
Stacy glared at him and said angrily, “What do you mean by that, Mr. Stone? Do I deserve to be attacked by your employee?”
“Of course not,” Louis said tearfully.
“Since that’s the case, there’s nothing left to discuss!” Stacy shifted her gaze to Celeste. Her expression was eerily dark. “Celeste, get on your knees and apologize! Now!”
Celeste had a mocking expression on her face as she said, “Over my dead body.”
Stacy was so angry that she trembled, “Celeste, you..”
“Enough!” William stopped Stacy in time, not intending to let her keep causing trouble. At the same time, he looked at Celeste with a cold gaze and said, “Celeste, I already gave you a chance. Since you refused, don’t blame me for what happens next.”
After he finished talling, he turned to Louis. He said, “Mr. Stone, I initially wanted to acquire your company, but given your behavior today, I don’t see your sincerity at all. It it’s possible, I hope you can fize this woman otherwise, there’s nothing more for us to discuss
Then, without giving Lewis a chance to respond, he strode away while holding Stacy protectively in his arms. It was as if he was protecting some priceless treasure.
Celeste stood in place with clenched fists, feeling her hatred well up again. She really couldn’t understand why they still hated her and tried everything to screw her over, even after so many years.
After William and Stacy left, Faye immediately mocked, “Some people are truly so talented that they actually pissed off some VIPS. Do you really think you’re the company’s backbone after winning a project?”
After saying that, she looked at Louis and adued, “What
you do now, Mr. Stone
Loms telt really miserable. He pointed at Celeste and asked, “Why the hell did you cause such a big problem for me, you jinx?*
Celeste’s expression remained neutral. She simply smiled lightly and said, “You don’t need to agonize over this, Mr. Stone. There’s no way I’m apologizing to that woman. Talso low that you’re in a tough spot. At worst, I’ll just resign.”
Even though she was upset, she still made a choice. She could submit to anyone but Stary.
Meanwhile, outside Creative Solutions‘ building, Stacy covered both of her aching cheeks and got into the car. Her anger still lingered.
Although she had grown up with the repulation of being an illegitimate daughter, fur mother always doted on her and treated her dearly. When she retemed to the Hart family, her father, Eilan Hart, was never harsh with her because she was presumably obedient and kind. She hadn’t expected Celeste to actually hot her
William felt distressed when he saw her swollen face. He had someone buy an ice pack to give her a cold compress as he condoned her, “Calm down, Stacy Don’t hold this against your half–sisces.”
Stacy put on a miserable facade and said, “Of course I won’t know she must be angry from the hardships she endured over the years. It’s normal for her to be
upset when she sees me.‘
”
William angered, “I’s her own fault that she reached this point.”
Stacy was happy with his response, but she sighed. A hint of feigned pity appeared on her pretty face
She gave another sigh and sald, “All right. Enough about Celeste. We should talk about the acquisition of this company. Are you really going to give up like this?”
William smiled calmly and said, “Of course not! The company has some value, but it’s still not as valuable as its collaboration with Ford Corporation. Our goal is to use this company to connect with Ford Corporation Prescott Group and Hart Corporation well reach new heights it we succeed.”
Stacy nodded, but she couldn’t help but grimuor, “I wonder what this company did to catch the eye of Food Corporation.”
mow about that, but I’m determined to succeed the time. I have to get this company no matter what. As for your sister.“William’s gaze tumed cold
as he said, “We’ll make this her punishment for hitting you.”
Upon hearing his words, Stacy smiled brightly. She praised, “Willlam, you’re the best!”
