Chapter 998 - Christmas at the Cliffside villa (2) (1/2)

Stella tapped Sarah's shoulder. ”Can we talk in private?”

Two of them went to the study room.

Sarah sat on the sofa and Kitty laid next to her, placing her head in Sarah's lap (expecting head scratches). Kitty almost doubled in size since they brought her, and she does not look like a harmless cub. Her legs are getting longer, and she is morphing into a young leopard by the day.

Stella went straight to the point. ”Do you know anything about a group of people who are calling themselves the army of Chaos?”

”Why would you ask me such a question?”

Stella narrowed her eyes at Sarah whose indifferent expression and lack of curiosity told Stella that it's not the first time she hears about them.

”Because they are attacking resources of Lebedev family in Los Angeles.”

Sarah made a face indicating how that information does not mean anything to her.

”The rumors are that the leader is a woman, with a black leopard.”, Stella added.

”A leopard?”, Sarah glanced at Kitty. ”I didn't know that there is more than one leopard in the area.”

Internally, Sarah rolled her eyes. It was one time! Kitty was super clingy that evening, maybe due to growing pains… and she didn't want to leave Sarah's side. So, Sarah decided to bring Kitty along. Because of that one time it's 'a woman with a leopard' . Sarah is aware of the rumors, she even read (and edited) the reports that reached King.

”How is your left arm?”, Stella asked.

”It's healing.”

Stella took one decorative wooden sphere from the shelf and threw it at Sarah. Sarah reflexively caught it… with her left hand.

”It's healing nicely.”, Stella observed.

”What do you want?” Sarah decided to stop playing this game.

”I want to know if the one provoking them is you.”

Sarah shrugged. ”So, what if I am, and what if I'm not…?”

”You are playing with fire.”

”They are the ones who started the fire. And I'm not sure if I will get burned, but I will make sure that they burn.” Sarah's gaze moved to the palm-sized wooden sphere in her hand.

Stella could not hide her surprise when she saw Sarah crushing the sphere like it's an eggshell which does not provide any resistance. Stella knows that JoAnna operated on Sarah's hand, but this… just what did they do?

Sarah patted her hands to dust them off. ”If there is nothing else, we should go upstairs. There is a Christmas party.”

”You are putting yourself and your sisters into danger by attacking the Lebedevs.”, Stella gave another warning to Sarah.

”My sisters? I am confident that you have the information which confirms that JoAnna is busy with helping Jeff related to White family business, and Sophia is with Felix, making sure nothing goes wrong with her pregnancy while juggling matters of Orion Enterprise. And also… I am technically disabled, taking care of my fiancé who is in a coma. Do you think that any of us has the time or the energy or the opportunity to attack anyone? Or to lead an organization called… Chaos?” Sarah paused and observed Stella's expression for some time before continuing. ”And if you can't connect Chaos to me or my sisters, what makes you think that anyone else can?”
