Chapter 1601

Seeing how his housemaids were ridiculing Stella behind their backs, Lucas thought the fault lay with him. "Stella, it's my fault for not properly managing my staff, you can scold or hit me if you want."'Scold him!'Hit him!'What's the point?'Will those people stop cursing my name once I've scolded and hit him?'Moreover, Stella did not care about the unsolicited opinion of such people. "Mr. White, I wouldn't dare to hit you."That sentence alone choked whatever Lucas wanted to say in his throat. "Let's... let's go have a look at the rooms then.""Thank you," Stella said.Lucas took her suitcase and led her into the elevator.There were three floors in the villa, and before Lucas could even press the button for the third floor, Stella pressed the second floor's button.Normally, the master bedroom was on the third floor while the guest rooms were on the second floor.Now that she was in an unclear relationship with him, she would never go to his bedroom on the third floor

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 refu

Steve did not know what Rian was thinking as he tossed an envelope before Rian with a loud tap. "You're already in deep shit, just see what you've done?!""What have I done to make you so angry?" Rian took the envelope and opened it. He looked at the contents of it before smirking and letting out an indifferent look. "It's just something between a man and a woman, it's nothing to make you so angry."Steve was so furious he took a glass beside him and tossed it at Rian. "I couldn't care less if you want to fool around with women. But now everything is burning down around you and you're still smothering yourself in a woman's bosom, and then to have these pictures sent over here...""Dad, is someone from the White Corporation following me?" It was only then did Rian realize what was going on. The pictures were of him with Hannah fooling around inside the car, and not long after he did that intimate act with her, the pictures arrived at Steve's hands.Does that not mean that Lucas had

Steve said, "Look, if something happened to your woman, it's all on Stellie. But hey, you divorced her, right? She's not yours anymore. If Stellie wanted a fling, so be it. Let's not make a big deal out of it, for old times' sake."Lucas replied coolly, "I might let it slide, depending on your next move."Out of nowhere, Rian blurted out, "She's just a worthless actress, man. You can have your pick of women like her. Why make a scene?""A worthless actress?" Lucas's eyes flashed dangerously. He shot Rian a piercing look and stormed off.Rian stammered, "Dad...""Shut it!" Steve barked. "Open that file and see what's inside." He thought to himself, 'This kid is more trouble than he's worth.'Rian hurriedly opened the file. "Dad, is Lucas really expecting us to personally send Stellie down the river?"Steve's forehead veins were nearly bursting, not out of sympathy for his daughter, but because he was furious at being cornered by someone younger. "I swear, the White family is goin

Lucas floored the accelerator, racing back to his villa, where lights were blazing in both the yard and living room. As he quickened his pace, his heart leapt with a flicker of hope.No surprise, the living room was empty, devoid of the scene he longed to witness. A wry smile twisted his lips. "What was I even thinking?"He knew the Stella of now was far from the Stella he had first met.Back then, even knowing she was waiting at home, he would linger at the base of the stairs, reluctant to go up.He had deliberately crafted the illusion of a playboy lifestyle, leading her astray. His only communication with her when he got home was the cold, mechanical act of bedroom intimacy.Initially, Stella would wait up for him, her face lighting up the moment Lucas walked in. She would lean in for a kiss, her passion in their intimate moments burning bright. Afterwards, cuddling in his arms, she would whisper softly, "Lucas, let's have a baby."Though he wanted to nod in agreement, he woul

Stella was the apple of her parents' eye. But life was not easy. Born and raised on a farm, Stella had folks who were too busy tending to the fields to cook up meals. Learning to whip up a meal was a survival skill that every child in her village mastered early.Lucas, who was downstairs, watched as Stella, quick and nimble, fetched a lean cut of meat from the fridge. She washed it, sliced it into fine strips, and then plucked a few fresh greens.Her skilled movements belied a novice in the kitchen. Unfortunately, Lucas had never had the chance to taste her cooking.Soon, Stella had prepared a hearty grilled chicken salad. She grabbed a large bowl, filling it to the brim. That was it—one bowl, no leftovers, not even a dressing on the side.Lucas reached out eagerly. "You barely touched your dinner. Aren't you hungry? This is a lot, I can't finish. Let's share it."But Stella ignored his outstretched hand. "Why would I cook if I'm not hungry?"Caught off guard and realizing Stella

Stella said, "Does what I think even matter to you?""Of course it does," Lucas shot back."I thought we agreed — one child, and no chance of us getting back together. Ever."Lucas remained silent."I'm going to bed," Stella declared, rising to her feet. But before she could take a step, Lucas grabbed her, pulling her into a tight embrace."Let me go!" Stella demanded, struggling against his grip."I won't let go.""Lucas, if you keep this up, I'll have no choice but to move out."At her words, Lucas immediately released her. "Stella, it's not safe out there. You can't go anywhere but here."Shooting him a piercing look, Stella turned away and walked off.She was well aware of the dangers outside: the looming threat of the Sandow family, the maniac Stellie at large with sinister plans, and the unsafe Florivera, making even Hayshiport a risky venture.Stella was acutely aware of the perilous world she was ensnared in. No place was safe outside, which was why she ended up back

Stellie said, "I'm crystal clear on this, Rian. If she doesn't end up dead before me, I'll haunt this world from beyond the grave."Rian scoffed, "You think just because you want her dead, she'll drop dead?"Stellie was teetering on the edge of madness, completely unaware of her own desperate situation. "I don't care. She has to go. Just buy me a few more hours, and I'll make sure not even her corpse is found by dawn."Rian shook his head. "You were only lucky before because Lucas was out of the country, caught off guard. Now, he's right there, guarding her. If you think you can so much as touch a hair on her head while Lucas is around, you're delusional."He might always wear a smile, but don't let that fool you. He's like a smiling tiger, ready to devour anyone who crosses his path.""I'm on death's doorstep already. What do I have to fear from him?""You're no match for him.""That's why I need your help."Rian cracked a cold smile. "You think having me on your side is enoug

A year later, in a hotel room, a woman lay on a large, messy bed. Clutching the sheets close to shield her body, she looked both panicked and smugly triumphant as she stared at another woman standing before the bed.A man jolted upright, reaching desperately to grab the hand of the woman in front of the bed. She quickly stepped back, evading his grasp."Scarlett, listen to me," the man pleaded urgently. "It wasn't my choice to be with this woman. She schemed and seduced me, and last night, I was drunk. That's why I ended up sleeping with her."You have to believe me; even if I slept with her, you're the only one in my heart. I love you, and only you. It's impossible for me to love her, let alone marry her—"While Stella was deep in the throes of betrayal, and before the actor playing the scoundrel could finish his lines, a figure burst in. He delivered a swift kick to the scoundrel, followed by a verbal and physical assault."You can't even control your own desires, and you dare t

Stella gave a quick apology to the crew. "Sorry for holding up the show, folks."The director waved it off with a casual hand. "No sweat, Stella. Don't mention it." He thought to himself, 'Who'd dare cross Lucas? And Stella, the only one who can send Lucas packing, who'd mess with her?'Stella flashed an awkward smile. "Don't worry. Lucas won't be causing any more trouble on my account."The director reassured her, "It's all good, Stella. Don't sweat the small stuff."Stella then turned to apologize to the lead actor. He verbally accepted her apology, but his performance was off. As the lead actor uttered every word, his eyes darted toward the door, half-expecting Lucas to burst in and knock him off his feet again. That last kick from Lucas had nearly ended his career; another one would definitely do the job.The lead actor's lack of focus caused take after take to flop, dragging Stella's work late into the night.As they wrapped up, Stella's assistant leaned in. "Mr. White has b
