Chapter 171: Humiliation
Whether Stella Monroe is related to Mom’s death or not, just for what she’s done since coming back to the country, she can’t let Stella Monroe off the hook!
Stella Monroe, who was carrying firewood up the mountain, suddenly sneezed: "Achoo—"
Who is cursing her??
Audrey Stanton, walking ahead, turned her head unhappily to urge: "Hurry up! At this pace, it’ll be night by the time we get down the mountain!"
Stella Monroe replied with an "oh," seething inside.
Once she swallows up Henry Stanton’s last fortune, the first thing she’ll do is settle scores with this old witch!
...
On the other side, Summer Monroe finished washing up and continued to the filming site. Due to the delay caused by the explosion, the timing for the spokesperson’s announcement was urgent, making today’s shoot particularly important for Summer Monroe.
Damian Knight was woken up by a phone call from the director of the film set.
"Young Master Knight, we’re ready to start filming here, are you coming over?"
Damian Knight instantly sobered up, sitting up in bed to inquire: "Already ready to start? Is Summer Monroe there?"
"Yes, Miss Monroe arrived early."
Damian Knight was slightly surprised; after such a significant incident yesterday, he himself felt a bit tired, yet Summer Monroe went to work early.
Really doesn’t know whether to scold her for being foolish or praise her for being hardworking.
But this is indeed something Summer Monroe would do.
He sighed a bit helplessly, saying: "I understand, you guys start first, I’ll be there shortly."
"Alright, Young Master Knight." The director ended the call.
Damian Knight sat on the bed, massaged his temples twice, then quickly got up to wash, deciding to skip breakfast and head straight to the set.
Leaving so early, he wondered if she had breakfast; he might as well buy some on the way and take it along.
Damian Knight suddenly remembered Isaac Ross asking him yesterday if he liked Summer Monroe, and he thought it best to bring something for the whole team, to avoid any misunderstanding with Summer Monroe.
Damian Knight quickly finished getting ready, hurrying downstairs.
However, when he reached the lobby, he was blocked.
A hand wearing a jade bracelet with gold edges stopped Damian Knight.
Damian Knight looked up and saw it was none other than his mother, Susan Stone.
Damian Knight’s brow immediately furrowed, asking impatiently: "Mom, what’s up?"
Susan Stone pursed her lips unhappily: "Didn’t I say to come home early, come home early; every day you come back so late, I can’t even wait for you!"
Damian Knight replied indifferently: "The company’s busy recently, you don’t need to wait for me."
Susan Stone pursed her lips again, frowning as she said: "No matter how busy or big the project, can it be more important than your life’s major event? Come over, have breakfast with Miss Grant and me; we haven’t sat down for a good breakfast together as mother and son for a long time."
Damian Knight raised his eyes: "Miss Grant?"
Susan Stone responded with a "hmm," smiling as she said: "Originally they should have returned to Rivain today, but Miss Grant got into university here, so I decided to keep her here, having her live at our house during school."
There was no warmth in Damian Knight’s eyes; if it were anything else, he would have kicked the person out long ago, but unfortunately, it was Susan Stone, his own mother.
Susan Stone saw Damian Knight remaining silent and directly pulled him toward the dining table.
"Come on, let me introduce Miss Grant to you."
Susan Stone was all smiles, extremely happy.
The other family has good background, well-educated, and moreover in Rivain, the Knight Family doesn’t have many enterprises, with many local tycoons there; marrying the eldest daughter of the Grant Family would greatly help in conquering the Rivain market.
