Chapter 227

After wrapping up his report on the Patel Group, Idris took a call. When he looked over, Finley was in the process of removing a splinter from Stella's hand. Stella, petrified by the minor procedure, refused to watch. Ronald, ever so indulgent, covered her eyes to shield her from the sight.

"This is the last time, right?" Stella mumbled hopefully.

Ronald shot Finley a frosty glare, signaling him to keep quiet.

"Does she need that from you?" Ronald challenged.

Finley fell silent.
