When Her "Death" Couldn't Break Him

Chapter 1397 Let Her Think She Succeeded

Stella was utterly consumed by jealousy.

She remembered when Zachary had once candidly told her, "Even if you don't have feelings for Nathaniel, there's no chance for us either. The gap between our statuses is too vast." Therefore, Stella had devoted all her attention to Nathaniel.

However, now, Zachary had disregarded all his principles for another woman.

"I need to use the restroom," Stella said softly, standing up.

Cassandra shot her a cold glance. "In the future, avoid making definitive statements about uncertain matters. It's truly embarrassing."

Stella gave a slight nod. "All right, it won't happen again."

""Make sure it doesn't."

Only then did Stella leave.

Upon reaching the restroom, she immediately dialed a number on her phone to contact her subordinates.

"Just what did you all do? Did you actually follow my instructions?"

In a timid voice, the man answered, "Ms. Jamieson, we followed your instructions to the letter. We left Ms. Kennedy at the Four Seasons Hotel early in the morning."

"What about the video? Was it played on the nearby TV?"Content provided by NôvelDrama.Org.

"Of course," the person on the other end replied, their voice betraying no hint of a lie. "After we placed her down, didn't we take a photo for you? If you don't trust us, perhaps you should seek someone else's services next time. Even we get scared after doing this sort of thing too much."

With that, the man hung up.

After hearing this, Stella became even more distressed.

The video had clearly been played, so how could Zachary still tolerate it?

He was not the type to tolerate infidelity from a woman!

"Could it be that Zachary actually fell for the daughter of that nouveau riche family? You've got to be kidding me!"

Stella refused to believe it and once again found an excuse for Zachary.

Perhaps it's because Vivian is Cecilia's close friend that he's tolerating all of this.

With this thought in mind, Stella started to feel a bit better.

However, seeing Zachary defending another woman was something Stella could not stand. She dialed the man again. "Send me all the videos from last night."

However, the person on the other end of the phone responded, "I don't have any backup here. Ms. Jamieson, why didn't you mention this earlier?"

Upon hearing these words, Stella nearly burst a blood vessel in anger.

"Why didn't you even keep a backup of the videos?"

The man didn't seem bothered at all,

instead retorting, "You didn't

mention it either, did you? Let's not blame each other. From now on, lame e please seek assistance elsewhere for your matters."

After saying that, he ended the call once more and blocked Stella's number.

In truth, things weren't going well for him and his men. Their entire group was under the control of someone else.

"You've done well. Remember, don't let Stella know that nothing happened last night," a woman's voice said from the darkness.

"Absolutely, we promise not to say a word! Please, we beg of you, show us some mercy and spare us small fry!"

After receiving affirmation from the woman, they practically fled the scene.

As it turned out, after they had knocked out Vivian the previous night and were preparing to proceed as planned, they were soon apprehended by a group of people in uniform. They were then escorted to a place shrouded in darkness and confined there.

The person who had locked them up also instructed them to deceive Stella, claiming that everything had been taken care of. They knew that the people who had brought them here this time were not to be trifled with, so they didn't dare to play any tricks.

Meanwhile, Stella thought that all

her plans had worked out perfectly.

Although she didn't get to see Zachary embarrass himself in

ovel

public, the fact that she had managed to upset him was

satisfying enough.

Outside the Four Seasons Hotel, Vivian found herself shielded by Zachary as they were about to get into the car. Her eyes were immediately drawn to Ernest amidst the crowd.
