After She She Stopped Loving Him

Chapter 141

That night, Yolanda lay in bed, scrolling through the files of several Starlight executives one more time. Right as she did, her phone buzzed–it was Mary calling.

“Ms. Grant, watch out for Tony,” Mary said quietly but urgently. “Out of all the executives, his methods are the most vicious.”

Tony couldn’t control his temper. Once provoked, he’d go absolutely mad with revenge. Any woman who caught his eye ended up even worse off than those who wound up by Leon’s side.

Yolanda’s arrival had breathed new life into Starlight. All those old frustrations were beginning to bubble up, but people only dared to watch from the sidelines.

In this wreck of a company, everyone wished for her victory–and they also prayed she wouldn’t end Leon Cole.

Only now did Yolanda realize just how heavy the weight of their hopes pressed down on her.

“Honestly, with you holding the line, Tony’s gonna aim for you first. That leaves me with a bit of breathing room–that’s why I wanted to talk to you,” Mary said.

After all these years of getting pushed around, Tony barely even saw her as someone worth bothering with anymore.

Yolanda hung up the phone, then stared hard at Tony Sutton’s profile. ‘I need to figure out exactly what kind of person I’m dealing with,‘ she thought to herself.

Meanwhile, Tony wasn’t exactly sitting around sulking. Still in a bad mood, he ended up dragged to a bar by one of those rich heirs he’d hustled his way into hanging out with.

Inside the plush private room with that pack of elite young heirs, Tony felt almost painfully awkward,

Most of the guys here were born into money–real heavyweights. Any one of them could crush Tony’s entire existence with just a swipe of their credit card.

Honestly, the only reason he even got an invite was because he’d fixed up a few of these guys with “clean” girls before. That was his ticket in, nothing else.

One of the trust fund boys stretched out lazily, swirling his drink. “So, don’t you have any fresh faces for us lately?”

Tony’s eyes flashed with a glint of mischief as Yolanda’s face popped into his mind.

“Oh, I’ve got one,” he said, his tone sleazy. “She’s a real stunner, trust me. Just the right kind of sass, though I don’t know if you guys are into that. Heck, she looks like she’d take all you boys at once if you tried.”
