Chapter 265 265: How long should we keep it away from them?

Stefan needed only a second to get Priscilla on her knees. A call to have her removed from her position and a call to the police, who took both Jack and Priscilla into custody for blackmailing Ella for so long.

Whereas Max was left with nothing but sorrow for his actions, which not only affected Ella but also left him with nothing but disgrace.

"I hope they don't get out so easily. Put as many charges as you want. I want them to suffer"

Stefan remarked on the phone before disconnecting up and turning to face Ella, who hadn't spoken since she was at Jack's apartment.

It hurt him to see her like that, but he knew she needed time to process, which would only happen if he didn't worry her too much.

As he was going to take a seat next to her, his phone buzzed, and it was his father.

"What the hell have you done, Stefan!? Why did you terminate the arrangement with SM Corporate, and what's with this allegation that you gave over control of the project to the cops?" Stefan was so concerned with Ella that he failed to deal with the spilled milk before it was spotted.

Stefan closed his eyes and pinched the bridge of his nose, defeated.

"Dad, I have my reasons." Stefan tried to excuse it, but it just infuriated his father further.

"I want you home right now, Stefan. Get Ella too," he yelled, ending the call with no space for rejection.

Ella, who had been hearing Stefan, stared at him hopelessly.

"Let's go; we need to explain everything," she replied, leaving Stefan stunned.

"Babe, you don't have to-" Stefan tried to resist, but she got up.

"It is time, Stefan. How long should we keep it away from them?" She inquired, her voice devoid of passion, making Stefan anxious about what she was about to do.
