Chapter 1602

Oh, how Patricia wanted to smack Lucas in the head. 'This boy, he's so good at business but so dumb when it comes to relationships,' she thought. "She's your wife. She may look like she's not concerned, but she will be deep inside. Listen to me now, just go and tell her before you step out." "Is she actually still concerned about me deep inside?" Lucas asked. "You think she would've come back with you if she didn't care? Why didn't she go to another man's home then?" Patricia shot back. There was some truth in what she said. Lucas quickly went upstairs and toward Stella's room. He tried to open the door but it was locked. So, he leaned against the door and said, "Stella, I'll be going out to settle something. I'll be back in two hours, latest." There was no response. Lucas was not sure if Stella could hear him or not, so he repeated himself. After still not getting a response, he left dejectedly. Inside the room, Stella pursed her lips as she said mockingly, "Back then you refused to tell me where you were going when I asked, so who cares now?" After that, she took out her phone and sent Abigail a message: [Abigail, I've settled down at Hayshiport. Don't worry, I'll be careful. I won't allow myself to get into danger again.] Upon sending the message, she waited for a while but she did not get a response from Abigail. She could not have known that Abigail was already done typing but Nathan had taken her phone away and tossed it onto the ground. He then bit into Abigail's earlobe. "You're still in a mood to send someone a message. It seems like I'm not doing good enough." "Stella, she..." Before Abigail could finish speaking, Nathan sealed her lips shut with a kiss. A moment later, all of her senses and emotions belonged to Nathan, and she no longer had the mind to think about others. ... Back then, Lucas thought that under the White family's pressure, the Sandow family would restrain Stellie and ensure that she would not dare to touch Stella. So, he was not in a rush to eradicate her. Lucas's original plan was to get Stellie to witness how the Sandow family that had protected her collapse in a blink of an eye, to let her get a taste of being made a mockery. But after experiencing today's incident, he knew that he could no longer allow this ticking time bomb to hang around. To ensure Stella's safety, he needed to get rid of the ticking time bomb that was Stellie. The Sandow family was already at its last legs. He drove alone and went straight to the Sandow residence. Upon hearing that Lucas had come alone, Rian let out a sneer. "Lucas sure is bold to come to our place alone. Does he really think we're pushovers that won't dare to do anything to him?" Steve looked at Rian and his expression turned dark. "Your sister is already a fool and you want to follow in her footsteps?" "Dad, we may be behind the White family in every aspect these few years but the Sandow family is still an influential name. If Lucas wants to take down the Sandow Corporation, why should we play nice with him?" Rian was young and impetuous. He knew that the Sandow Corporation was no longer a match against the White Corporation, and that he was even less of a match against Lucas, yet he still acted tough. "Dad, let's make this visit a one-way trip for Lucas." Steve gave Rian another icy glare. "Do you know what you're saying?" "Dad, I know what I'm saying very well enough. We've been at peace with the White family for ten-odd years now and had so many projects with them before Lucas took over. The moment he took over the White Corporation, he slowly discontinued all business with us. This alone had already made many White Corporation shareholders and top executives unhappy, we can use this to pincer Lucas and catch him unaware." Those words almost caused Steve's blood vessels to burst. "All these years I got you to shadow me to manage the company properly, to learn from Lucas, and you learned nothing other than to fool around with women." "Who doesn't play with women? You think you're any better? My mother died because of that, so don't bother acting high and mighty with me..." Rian spat out mockingly.
