All Chapters of My Stone-Hearted Billionaire Husband: Chapter 121 - Chapter 130

Kourtney stood, perplexed. “Don’t you want to know what happened?” “I don’t care what happened. But I know you are right to slap whoever,” Sebastian chuckled, his eyes crinkling at the corners.He grinned like he just heard the best news all year round.Her eyes met his, and for a moment, they just stared at each other.Before she could gather her thoughts to speak, the ladies who had been at the tea party walked up to them, their faces pinched with disapproval. "Sebastian, you won't believe what your wife just did," one of the older ladies said with malice.Sebastian turned his piercing gaze toward them. His expression was cold and menacing, with eyes flashing with warning. "I think I can guess. But let me make one thing clear: my wife is off-limits. Anyone who dares to cross her will have to answer to me."“But—but she slapped my daughter, Sheila!” Sheila’s mother protested, her voice trembling.“I don't care. What I care about is that my wife was disrespected, and thus, she reacte

The shift in conversation was immediate. The women around the table erupted into excited chatter.“Oh, I found the most stunning dress at Marissa’s Boutique!” Sheila’s sister, Sophie, exclaimed, her eyes sparkling. “It’s this deep emerald green, and I think it will look fabulous with my new earrings.“Emerald? How cliché!” Another one scoffed. “I’m going with a daring crimson red. It’s bold, just like me.” Meanwhile, Kourtney tried to maintain her composure, but was finding it difficult.Sebastian, ever the observant husband, noticed the sudden change in her mood.He leaned closer to her. “What’s wrong?”Kourtney took a deep breath, feeling a rush of nerves as she spoke. “I...I’m actually the one in charge of planning that event.”Sebastian’s mood instantly lit up with pride radiating from him. “Oh yeah! You did mention it before!”He couldn’t contain his excitement and announced it loudly across the table, “Everyone, my wife is the main event planner for the Silverstone Gala! She wo

Back in her bedroom, Dana Woods and her daughters, Sheila and Sophie, had also seen the news about Scarlet. They became wrapped up in their own discussion.“Look at all these comments online,” Sophie said, happily scrolling through her phone. “People are going wild! ‘Scarlet’s back and it’s about time!’“This is great news for us. Turns out that Kourtney wouldn’t be staying long as the Woods's young mistress, after all,” Dana sneered with spite. “Scarlet is an interesting girl. She is definitely back to claim her rightful place beside Sebastian.”“Are you sure about that, Mother?” Sheila’s bitter voice echoed through the bedroom. “Do you think he’d leave Kourtney just like that? You can’t deny she’s a force of nature!”“Oh, honey. I’m one hundred percent sure he has never been able to get over Scarlet. He never remained the same after she left. And now, we just need to make her our ally. Kourtney doesn’t even stand a chance!”Dana was very certain of this.She had a sleepless night plo

Kourtney’s steps were light as she approached the ornate double doors to Sebastian’s study on the uppermost floor of the Woods villa. He had left immediately after lunch, saying he had some important work to handle.She hissed, still a little hurt just thinking about it.It was Sunday, and she wondered what was so important that couldn’t wait till a work day.And how long would it take for him to handle the sudden emergency?She needed a breather from all the drama unfolding after the news of Scarlet’s arrival. Since her husband had left her all alone to her fate in the hands of his wicked aunts and other relatives who hated her guts, Kourtney knew it would be wise to just stay in her lane and not go back downstairs till when necessary.She pushed the doors open gently, not wanting to disturb the sanctity of his space. It was built and designed just like the one they had at Serenity Villa.Seems like the man took his bland and boring style so seriously. There was not even a single bri

Micheal grinned on hearing her positive response. “I’m glad you’re so interested in hearing what I have to say.”Kourtney was getting impatient now, “Yeah, so what is it?”In truth, she only wanted to get the conversation over with so he could leave her alone.The man smirked, reveling in the power he held over her. “Trust me. It's a perfect solution that we can both enjoy.”Kourtney's instincts screamed at her to be cautious. The way Michael leaned in, his expression shifting to something more intense, made her stomach churn. She didn’t want to hear whatever twisted proposal he had in mind, but a part of her was suddenly curious, almost desperate to know what could possibly come next.“What exactly do want?” she asked again, her voice tinged with a hint of annoyance as she silently wished he would suggest something that wouldn’t make her hiss with contempt.“Hmmm. So let’s be real here,” he started, his voice low and steady, almost hypnotic. “Bastian is clearly not committed to you.
