Shattered Illusions Love Lies and Redemption (Lizetta and Remington) novel Chapter 880

Stella's face lit up with a smile as she stepped forward, "Mr. Winters, welcome! The contract signing room is all set up..."

However, before she could finish, Winters, emerging from the elevator with a stormy expression, cut her off.

"Hold on, Ms. West. Have you done what you promised me?"

Stella hadn't expected him to be so blunt, calling her out in front of everyone.

Her expression shifted slightly, especially as she felt the atmosphere change around them.

Everyone's eyes turned to her, filled with curiosity and suspicion.

What did Mr. Winters mean? What had Stella promised him?

The question was vague, leaving too much room for interpretation. To those unaware, it might seem as if Stella and Mr. Winters were involved in some shady deal.

Stella quickly responded, "It was just about making a call to Remington to clear up a misunderstanding. Of course, I've done it. I've just made the call. If you don't believe me, Mr. Winters, you can ask Margaret."

Stella looked towards Margaret, who immediately nodded and said with a smile, "Yes, she made the call. Stella did it right in front of me. Mr. Winters, with everyone waiting and everything ready, maybe we should sign the contract first and then..."

Winters interrupted Margaret again, "And what did Mr. Dashiell say?"

Winters was relentless, not moving an inch.

With everyone watching, Stella started to feel both anxious and regretful for making such a big scene.

She stepped closer, lowering her voice, "I personally called Remington to explain. Of course, he took it seriously, said these were minor issues, and he would instruct his team to handle it today. He told you not to worry, everything would proceed as planned..."

Stella looked smug, thinking that hearing this, Winters would be grateful and eager to please her, quickly moving to sign the contract.

But to her surprise, Winters's gloomy expression suddenly twisted into one of fury.

"Ugh! If she had really called, she'd know I've been suspended!"

Margaret, spat upon, felt both disgusted and humiliated.

She pushed Stella away and screamed, frantically wiping her face, her stomach churning with nausea.

Seeing Margaret's dramatic reaction and her pretense of innocence only fueled Winters's rage.

He pointed at Stella, his voice rising even louder.

"What a mess of a gala you've planned, not a shred of originality. A complete disaster. If it weren't for your claims of being the future Mrs. Boss, why would I ever consider keeping this deal with you?

You want to burn bridges before we've even crossed the river, showing your true colors a bit too early, aren't you? Guilty conscience much? You want the contract? Fine, take it!"
