The Ex-Wife's Burning Elegance

Chapter 211

Haynes's face darkened as he snapped, "Stella, don't push it!"

Stella remained calm and resolute, her gaze unwavering.

"Your mom accused me of kidnapping the kid. Is that not crossing the line? If you were worried about people crossing lines, you should've stopped your mom from doing something stupid in the first place, instead of standing there like a mama's boy, playing mute!"

She was determined to get an apology from Deanna.

Deanna might look down on her, but she would have to apologize to someone she considered beneath her.

No matter how hard it was to swallow, Deanna would have to accept it.

Escalating this situation wouldn't benefit the O'Brien family or the O'Brien Corporation in any way.

Despite Deanna's overbearing nature, she knew how to weigh the pros and cons.

Today, she had no choice but to bite the bullet.
