Chapter 427 In the study.

Ronald pulled out a cigarette, lit it up, and tossed the pack over to Hugo, who caught it and fished out a cigarette for himself.

Taking a drag, Ronald said, "The Warner family... they're doomed."

Hugo paused mid-lighting. He had a hunch that Ronald was only indulging Stella back at the mall, hence why he hadn't made a fuss.

Who would need big clients when they could strip them of their power of consumption? Stella's entire empire in Portis City, from StarRiver Corp. to the luxury mall, was under Hugo's management. Even the future plans for her studio had been in his hands.

At first, Stella wanted Susanna to take over her studio, but Susanna moved to Ferrowland. Stella couldn't bring herself to trust others with her employees, so she left it all for Ronald to handle.

"Understood," Hugo nodded.

Thinking it over, he glanced at Ronald and added, "Miss Stella hasn't faced too much trouble these past few years in Portis City."

Hugo had arrived after Stella's discharge from the hospital. And the Larkin family had gone into a tailspin since then.

Ursula was practically begging for mercy after Stella was done with her. If Ursula hadn't left Portis City back then, things could've gotten ugly.
