Chapter 266 266: He did it because of me

In the meantime, Ella and Stefan arrived to the Hayes Mansion. Ella had been there before, but tonight she felt something strange boiling up in the pit of her stomach.

She was nervous, but she knew she had to confront them for whatever Stefan felt obliged to do.

She had to tell them that Stefan took such a bold move for her, and that if her boss asked her to resign, she would.

"No, Stefan, you terminated the project midway, resulting in a loss because of me, so I must bear the consequences," she declared, discarding her anxiety and sighed.

"Let's go," she murmured, turning to open the car door and step outside.

Stefan sighed in despair and followed her to the house's main door.
