Chapter 161: My Bad Temper, Don’t Provoke Me
Henry Stanton gritted his teeth and said, "What do you think? Jinx? Misfortune? Is that how you talk about your own niece? Don’t forget, you also have the identity of being her mother right now!"
Stella Monroe anxiously pressed her lips together. She was eager to justify her earlier accusation of Summer Monroe being a jinx. Her eyes darted quickly as she thought of a new angle.
"It’s true she saved someone, but the building did collapse. Rebuilding the building will cost a lot of money! And why did the building explode only when she was there shooting? She’s a jinx, a jinx that brought down the building!"
Henry Stanton hesitated again.
Indeed, there’s no need to pay for lives, but what about rebuilding the building? The company’s funds were already tight, and just then, the building collapsed...
At that moment, a deep, cold voice rang out, "Who do you say brought down the building?"
Summer Monroe instinctively looked towards the source of the voice.
She saw Damian Knight striding over, his expression covered in frost, but for some unknown reason, it made her feel reassured.
Stella Monroe first felt the cold gaze staring at her, and it felt like a thorn in her back.
She instinctively turned her head, only to see Damian Knight’s black eyes fixed on her, approaching her with the aura of a king.
Stella Monroe unconsciously lost her confidence and stammered, "Young Master Knight..."
Damian Knight stepped forward, standing next to Summer Monroe, and asked again, "You’re saying because the building exploded and collapsed, Summer Monroe is a jinx?"
Damian Knight’s powerful presence made Stella Monroe not even dare to raise her head.
She swallowed hard, trying to regain her voice, and weakly said, "Young Master Knight, I know you have feelings for Summer, but, but what I said is also true. It’s her first day at the company, and the building collapsed. Don’t you think I have a point?"
Stella Monroe knew that Damian Knight had spent a night with Summer Monroe, but she also knew that families at such high levels tend to be superstitious.
A family like the Knight Family, old money, surely wouldn’t marry a jinx, would they?
With this thought, Stella Monroe regained her confidence.
She raised her face to look at Damian Knight and said, "Young Master Knight, I know you have feelings for Summer, but you really should keep your distance. She jinxed her own mother when she was a child, and now she’s brought down a building. You wouldn’t want her to jinx you too, right?"
Stella Monroe was convinced that Damian Knight’s affection for Summer Monroe wasn’t strong enough to overcome the fear of bringing disaster.
Who’s not afraid of a jinx?
"Heh—"
Damian Knight let out a low laugh.
That voice was incredibly magnetic, very pleasant, yet it made Stella Monroe’s scalp tingle.
She unconsciously tightened her grip, crumpling the fabric at her sides.
"Young, Young Master Knight, why are you laughing..." she asked, her spine stiff with tension.
Damian Knight couldn’t be bothered to entertain the likes of Stella Monroe, who was jumping around like a grasshopper, and turned his gaze directly to the indecisive Henry Stanton, saying, "Mr. Stanton, first I need to apologize to you."
Henry Stanton was still worrying that Damian Knight might abandon Summer because of Stella’s words, and suddenly hearing Damian Knight apologize made his head spin.
Was this going to deny the night he and Summer spent together?
All because of that damn woman Stella Monroe! Such things should be said in private, why say them in front of Damian Knight?
He needed to remember that they only had Summer as a valuable card now!
Henry Stanton’s hands were trembling in panic, and the next moment he heard Damian Knight apologetically say, "Actually, the building explosion and collapse were all because of me."
