Chapter 1113 - Back to the Cabin (1) (2/2)
”We created the company for few selfish reasons and for our children to have a financial cushion so that you don't worry about money.”, Edward explained. ”Our reasons are fulfilled, so we will leave to you three as the biggest shareholders to decide what happens with the company.”
”Our role is only to advise you.”, Stella added. ”We had our concerns, but after reading through the proposal, it seems that everyone will benefit out of this.”
After dinner, they moved to the family room for desserts and drinks.
”How about you tell me why you are here?”, Stella addressed the elephant in the room.
”We know that you are going to New York to meet with King on Saturday.” Sarah paused, allowing Stella to absorb her words.
”Are you spying on us?”, Edward asked.
Sarah was surprised by her father's words. ”Us? I didn't realize that you are an active participant in whatever is going on.”
”He is my husband. Of course, he knows what is going on.”, Stella responded.
”You didn't answer my question.”, Edward persisted.
”No. We are spying on King and we are aware that he made several attempts to get mom to meet with him, and she was refusing him. Until now.”, Sarah explained.
Stella patted Edward's hand, telling him to calm down.
”You know that I'm going. But that does not explain why you are here. Are you trying to prevent me from going?”, Stella guessed.
”I want to hear that you have a sound plan in place, or I will come with you.”, Sarah announced.
Stella and Edward had matching frowns on their faces.
”You are not going!”, Edward said sternly.
Sarah narrowed her eyes at her father defiantly. ”Can you stop me?”
”OK. OK.”, Stella stood up while trying to defuse the situation before it escalates. She knows that Edward does not lose his temper easily, but if it relates to any of his daughters he is not rational.
Stella turned to Sarah. ”What do you want in order not to go?”
”I want to know that you have a plan and that you are not going into your death.”, Sarah said bluntly.
”I don't know what he wants.”, Stella admitted. Seeing that Sarah is not buying it, she explained: ”Of course, I have few guesses but I'm not confident in any of them. Without knowing what he wants, I can't have a good plan… But I know that he will not hurt me.”
Sarah didn't believe this. ”How do you know that he will not hurt you?”
She wanted to say that if he will not hurt her, why is he hurting her daughters? Didn't he try to kidnap Sophia and then managed to get his hands on her and Aiden? King knows that Sarah and Aiden are in love and engaged to be married, hurting Aiden IS hurting Sarah. And he made her lose their child! But she can't say this… At least not the last part, because she does not want to hurt Aiden just to prove her point. Sarah told herself to calm down and not talk about any of that, because it is easy to slip.
