Chapter 558 - Wedding day (S&F) (12) (2/2)
”It's on my name, I paid for it. I can sell it.”
”Scoundrel! Is that how I raised you? Are you biting a hand that feeds you?”
Felix was irritated by Sylvie's words. ”You are not feeding me for a long time. And don't even get me started on how you raised me.”
”I see… you came to threaten me!”, Sylvie hissed.
Felix shook his head. ”That was not a threat. It was a promise.”
He turned to Sophia and said in a soft voice. ”I'm done. Let's go.”
”Ungrateful child! You will regret this!”, Sylvie screamed while Felix and Sophia stepped outside.
”Are you OK?”, Sophia asked Felix.
”I will be. I needed to get a closure.”
Even in the dark, Sophia could see that Felix is troubled. How come he would not be? She felt sad that his mother is so… unreasonable. Growing up without a father, and with such a mother… it must have been difficult. Sophia hugged Felix.
”What do we do with her? Send her home tied up like that?”, JoAnna asked.
”She is a bitter woman, never happy, and she blames others for her misfortune.” Stella was right behind JoAnna. They all wondered how long was she standing there. Stella looked at six young people in front of her and shared her wisdom: ”You will meet a lot of people like her. Maybe not to this degree, but many people don't try to fix their problems. They blame everyone for bad things that happen and expect others to make problems go away for them. You can't help them. You can't help anyone who does not want to accept help.”
Small smirk appeared on Stella's face. ”It seems you didn't decide what you want to do with her.”
Sarah and JoAnna remembered that their mother said that if they don't figure out how to deal with Sylvie, she will. But they really didn't know what to do with this woman.
”Are guests gone?”, Sarah asked.
”Few more are left, but they are drunk, so they don't count.”, Stella's smirk became sinister.
Girls confirmed that they don't know how to handle Sylvie. Felix and Jeff didn't look interested, and Aiden felt chills.
Stella smiled and ushered them back toward the villa. ”OK. Go enjoy rest of your evening. I will take care of sending Sylvie home.”
…
Stella ordered bodyguards to untie Sylvie.
”This is not over!”, Sylvie cried. She was confident that Stella is letting her go.
Stella extended her arm to block Sylvie from exiting the shed. ”I know. I just got here.”
”Are you trying to intimidate me?”
Stella laughed. ”I don't need to do that. You came here with intention to disrupt a wedding. Do you know how much time and effort I put into all that? And you wanted to ruin it? That was a wedding of my eldest daughter! You don't want to be close to your son? Fine, we will take him, we already did. He is part of our family now… I'm not here to intimidate you. I'm here to punish you.”
Without giving any time for Sylvie to react, Stella closed distance between them and hit few pressure points which made Sylvie unable to talk, and her arms fell limp next to her body.
Sylvie was shocked. Unable to comprehend what happened.
Stella enjoyed Sylvie's expression. ”I don't need to gag you in order to prevent you from making noise… Don't worry, you will be home tomorrow, alive… Now, there is a technique I didn't use in a long time. It's about breaking the muscle tissue without leaving bruises or any other marks on the skin…” Stella's smile widened while she spoke.
…
Stella exited the shed and her smile faded when she saw Owen.
”Busy?”, he smirked.
She ignored his question. ”Are you finally going to tell me why you came?”
”We need to talk.”
