Married to a Secret Billionaire (Stella Taylor)

Chapter 107 Served Him Before

Chapter 107 Served Him Before

A mischievous face appeared from under the black duckbill cap, with a devilish gaze that carried a hint

of arrogance and disdain.

Noah was taken aback for a moment, but he greeted calmly, "Mr. Hart."

"What?" Jericho looked slightly surprised and sneered. "Did I hear you correctly? Did you call me Mr.

Hart?"

Noah smiled faintly, his gaze deep and cold.

He exuded a chilling aura, and anyone who approached him could feel an invisible pressure, including

Jericho.

This feeling made Jericho very uneasy and was also very eerie.

"You seem to have forgotten how you used to grovel at my feet when you were shining my shoes,

huh?" He patted Noah's shoulder. "Ha, you just called me by my name before. Why are you f*cking

acting civilized now?"

However, as soon as Jericho's hand touched Noah's shoulder, Noah firmly grabbed it!

Jericho was startled, but he remained composed on the surface. He tried to break free, only to be held

tightly, and couldn't move.

"Liam!" He growled, "What do you think you're doing?"

Noah sneered and twisted his wrist!

An excruciating pain suddenly struck Jericho. His face turned red, and his eyes flashed with fierce light

as he stared at Noah.

"Mr. Hart, please watch your words." Noah said word by word, "No matter how worthless I was, that's

all in the past. Don't you know that we should treat each other with new eyes after a long separation?"

"Liam..."

"Even if I used to shine your shoes, you're not worthy anymore! So don't cause trouble for me again, or

don't blame me for being impolite!"

His each word was pronounced with emphasis, causing Jericho's expression to change.

Noah released his grip and gave a cold snort. His eyes glinted with a sharpness that frightened Jericho.

Jericho watched his departing figure and stood there in a daze for a while. The scar between his

eyebrows seemed even more ferocious.

"Mr. Hart." One of his subordinates arrived in a hurry.

"What did you find out?"

"A year ago, Liam didn't pay his gambling debts and violated the rules of the underworld. It is said that

he... has already been killed!"

Jericho was shocked. "Is the information reliable?"

"I can't say for sure about that." The subordinate licked his lips. "I asked around in several places.

Some people said he was dead, some said his fingers were chopped off and he was thrown out of

Eldoria with no one caring about him... But in my opinion, the chances of him being alive are slim."

Jericho's expression turned grave.

Yes, if Liam offended someone in the underworld, even if he was still alive, it was impossible for him to

be like the man just now, standing there in such a good state and having great strength that almost

broke Jericho's wrist.

But if that man wasn't Liam, who was he?

"Keep investigating." Jericho coldly instructed, "Be careful, and don't cause any more trouble!"

......

Stella stood outside the bright conference room, dressed in a simple and elegant dark professional

attire that accentuated her grace and beauty.

She took a deep breath and walked in.

Although she had been mentally prepared, she still felt a bit nervous facing so many curious gazes.

"Is this the chairman's other daughter?" Someone whispered, "The illegitimate one?"

"Shh... You can't say that! Who can understand the chairman's thoughts? She's the illegitimate

daughter now, but she might inherit the family business in the future!"

"So has Miss Amelia completely lost her power?"

"I don't know... Anyway, Miss Amelia was swindled out of millions of dollars last time, and the chairman

was already furious. Well, with that kind of brain, how can Miss Amelia manage such a big company?"

Stella heard people's whispers.

She tried to ignore them.

Liam had reminded her, hadn't he? No matter what happened, she should remain calm. The more

composed she was, the better she could come up with strategies. People were most likely to lose their

rationality in moments of panic.

Just thinking about Liam, Stella smiled slightly, and her expression became much more relaxed.

The board meeting started as scheduled.

Henry briefly introduced Stella during the meeting and assigned her corresponding tasks. All the

shareholders observed her carefully. Despite their doubts, they made a show of welcoming Stella.

After all, the situation was still uncertain, and no one could guarantee what the future would hold.

It was wise not to offend anyone.

After the meeting, people started to leave, and Stella also packed up and followed behind, preparing to

familiarize herself with her office environment.

However, just as she reached the lobby on the first floor which was crowded with people coming and

going, she suddenly heard someone calling her from behind.

"Stella!"

She turned her head, only to be slapped fiercely!

Her mind went blank as she covered her burning cheek. At this moment, the whole world seemed to fall

into a vacuum, with countless eyes fixed on her.

When Stella looked up, she saw Amelia standing in front of her with an arrogant and menacing look,

her eyes filled with hatred as if she wanted to devour Stella alive.

"You b*tch!" Amelia yelled, her voice resounding, "You always pretended not to be interested in the

Taylor family's wealth, but now your true colors are finally revealed! You and your shameless mother

are both despicable!"

"Amelia!" Stella's body trembled slightly. "Don't slander me! I have never been interested in the Taylor

family's wealth, but today, it was the chairman who asked me to come here, and he also gave me the

shares! If you have the ability, go argue with the board of directors. What right do you have to be so

arrogant here?"

"Humph, are you trying to use Dad to intimidate me? You b*tch, don't think I don't know how you

instigated him against me!"

"By the way." Amelia turned around to face the crowd with a sinister smile on her face. "I bet none of

you know what kind of person Miss Stella's husband is, right?"

"He's a well-known thug! Fighting, brawling, and going to jail are all common occurrences for him!"

Stella tightly clenched her fists, feeling the blood rushing to her head.

"But my dear sister just loves raising trash! No matter how useless her man is, she loves giving him

loads of money to spend!" Amelia's laughter was sharp. "Ha-ha... why is that, Stella? Do you love him

so much because he satisfies you so well in bed?"

She deliberately elongated her tone. In the spacious lobby, everyone passing by could hear.

Stella's face turned red, and the surrounding discussions and mocking contemptuous glances felt like

knives stabbing her and hailstones slashing at her.

She bit her lip and met Amelia's malicious and vicious eyes.

But at the same time, she caught sight of Henry coming down the stairs.

Stella paused for a moment, took a deep breath, and forced herself to remain calm.

"Amelia." She whispered, "Please be mindful of your actions. Speaking like this in the company might

not have a good impact."

"Oh." Amelia crossed her arms in front of her chest and gave Stella a disdainful look. "Are you afraid of

the bad impact?" Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g

"I'm worried about the impact on our Taylor family." Stella deliberately emphasized the word "our".

Henry valued his reputation. No matter how chaotic the family was behind closed doors, he would

never allow himself to be laughed at in front of others.

And Amelia causing such a scene in public was clearly annoying him.
