Chapter 163: Coaxing a Child
She can’t be sent to the temple; she doesn’t want to see that eerie old woman there.
If she were sent elsewhere, she could naturally find a way to live well, but that old woman... has always held great hostility toward her and is hard to deal with.
She can’t go there!
Stella Monroe’s eyes quickly turned, and she said, "Actually, I’ve also saved some private money these days, which I can use to rebuild the company building..."
Henry Stanton’s cold heart hesitated again upon hearing this.
He is indeed short on cash now for rebuilding the building...
And just at this moment, Damian Knight spoke again.
"Mr. Stanton," said Damian Knight casually, "since the explosion at the building was caused by me, the rebuilding expenses should naturally be covered by me. I’ll take care of the designer and rebuilding costs entirely. Within three months, I’ll ensure you have a brand-new Stanton Tower. As for the loss of work for three months and the rent for a temporary company building, I’ll cover that too. Also, calculate the mental damage compensation for your employees and give me an approximate figure. I’ll have my finance team transfer it directly to you."
Henry Stanton’s eyes lit up.
This building was quite old, and not only was he getting a new one for free, but Damian Knight was also willing to cover the rent for a temporary workspace...
In this way, he could pocket a considerable sum!
Plus, with this explosion, Summer Monroe had consolidated the employees’ loyalty to him; this was a completely profitable and risk-free deal!
He liked this explosion!
Henry Stanton thanked him repeatedly.
However, Damian Knight hadn’t finished speaking yet.
He said, "But I have a request too."
"Please, go ahead!" Henry Stanton hurriedly said.
Damian Knight gave Stella Monroe a cold, desolate glance and said, "I don’t want to see this woman who calls me a jinx."
Henry Stanton immediately understood Damian Knight’s implication and, without further hesitation, called over two subordinates, saying, "Take her to the temple! You two, after sending her there, stay and make sure she doesn’t step out of the temple without my orders!"
"Yes!" The subordinates waved Stella Monroe over, rudely saying, "Madam, let’s go!"
Stella Monroe naturally didn’t want to leave, but this time it was Damian Knight who spoke.
She wasn’t Clarissa Stanton; she understood the benefits of assessing the situation, so she didn’t plead anymore. After telling Henry Stanton’s subordinates, "Wait a moment," she walked up to Summer Monroe, sincerely took her hand, and said, "Sadie, it’s Auntie’s fault. In a moment of anxiety, I said all sorts of things. You must forgive Auntie. Once I’m at the temple, I’ll repent daily and pray for you and the whole family."
Summer Monroe looked at Stella Monroe with slight surprise.
Stella Monroe was indeed much smarter and more patient than Clarissa Stanton...
Summer Monroe glanced sideways and saw that Henry Stanton’s expression was no longer as angry as before.
Summer Monroe paused for two seconds, then said slowly, "It’s alright, Auntie. Even if you don’t consider me family, you’ll forever be my dearest aunt in my heart. Don’t worry, once you’ve truly repented, I’ll have Dad bring you back."
Summer Monroe’s words, light as a breeze, firmed up Henry Stanton’s slightly softened heart, making it cold and hard again as he said with a gloomy face, "Alright! Take her away!"
Stella Monroe left, looking back every few steps, appearing truly repentant.
Henry Stanton didn’t look again. After thanking Damian Knight once more, he left with Summer Monroe.
On the way home, Summer Monroe received a text message from Damian Knight.
Damian Knight: "I helped you get rid of your malicious aunt. How are you going to thank me?"
