The Billionaire CEO Wants to Marry Me Every Day

Chapter 162: Driving Stella Monroe Out

"What?"

"What?"

Henry Stanton and Stella Monroe simultaneously looked up sharply.

Damian Knight continued, "I’m a person with a bad temper, so I’ve made many enemies. There are quite a few people who want me dead. Today’s building explosion was actually aimed at me."

Stella Monroe’s face turned deathly pale.

If what Damian Knight said was true, then her earlier statement that Summer Monroe brought down the building, making her a jinx, turned into... she had been calling Damian Knight a jinx, a harbinger of bad luck??

Even if she was given ten times the courage, she wouldn’t dare!

Stella Monroe felt her head buzzing.

She summoned her last shred of courage to doubt, "Young Master Knight... Even if you like Summer Monroe, you don’t need to cover for her like this, do you?"

Damian Knight turned a cold gaze towards Stella Monroe, his eyes growing colder by the inch.

Stella Monroe was so frightened that cold sweat trickled down her back.

"Show it."

Damian Knight looked at Stella Monroe, but his words were addressed to Isaac Ross.

Having watched the drama at the side for a while, it was now Isaac Ross’s turn to play his part.

Without any unnecessary words, Isaac Ross pulled a note from his pocket, "Take a look!"

Stella Monroe and Henry Stanton simultaneously looked at the note.

On it was clearly written: "I’ve taken the person away, today Damian Knight has to leave his life with me, to appease my frightened men."

Upon clearly reading the words on the note, Stella Monroe started trembling all over.

It turned out the explosion really was because of Damian Knight.

Damian Knight’s eyes, like a frozen lake, sharply looked at Stella Monroe and asked, "Did you see clearly?"

Cold sweat streamed down Stella Monroe’s forehead.

She forced a smile and said, "So, that’s what happened. It seems I misunderstood."

Damian Knight slightly raised his chin, "It’s okay for you to misunderstand Summer Monroe, but what about the fact that you just called me a jinx? How should that be accounted for?"

Stella Monroe shivered and trembled, saying with quivering lips, "It’s a misunderstanding, it’s all a misunderstanding! Young Master Knight, I wasn’t calling you that, you know, even with ten times the courage, I wouldn’t dare call you a jinx!"

"Is that so?" Damian Knight said coolly, "But my ears are just fine. Mr. Stanton, what do you think should be done about this?"

Henry Stanton was furious.

Stella Monroe was nothing but a troublemaker! Not only did she almost ruin the image of Summer Monroe in Damian Knight’s mind, but she also angered Damian Knight.

Henry Stanton was both angry and afraid. First, he apologized to Damian Knight with a bow, then turned around and slapped Stella Monroe.

He usually resorted to physical punishment at home, but this time it was in public, with countless eyes watching, including reporters who had arrived upon hearing the news. Stella Monroe felt both the pain and humiliation.

Yet she neither dared get angry nor speak up, only able to endure the slap from Henry Stanton in disgrace.

Finally, it was Summer Monroe who stepped forward to stop Henry Stanton, persuading, "Dad, don’t hit her anymore, so many people are watching. If you’re really upset, let Aunt go stay at the temple with my sister for a while. Once she reflects, she can come back."

Stella Monroe suddenly looked up, "Summer! You dare to kick me out?"

Summer Monroe appeared frightened, shrinking behind Henry Stanton.

Henry Stanton hadn’t intended to kick Stella Monroe out, but seeing her attitude toward Summer, he instantly boiled with anger.

"It seems you still don’t understand what you did wrong. Sadie’s right, you should spend some time with Clarissa at the temple for self-reflection!"

"No..."

Stella Monroe’s aura immediately weakened, clutching Henry Stanton’s arm and starting to beg, "Husband, I know I was wrong, I shouldn’t have called Sadie a jinx. I only said that because I was upset! Please forgive me this time! I promise I won’t say such nonsense again. Please forgive me!"
