CHAPTER 122: CHAPTER 122: LOVE AND LOVER

As Silas Sutton’s words fell, the air became silent.

Stella Grant clenched the hem of his shirt with her hand hanging at her side, crying silently, as the hot tears seeped through the fabric and dampened his chest.

Silas Sutton kissed the top of her head and said hoarsely, "Stella Grant, why don’t you stay with me?"

Stella shivered, gripping his shirt tighter.

Silas Sutton frowned, feeling for the first time in his twenty-eight years what it was like to have his heart wrung.

Outside the hotel, Kenneth Grant was taken as soon as he stepped out.

Forced into a van by two black-clad bodyguards.

At first, Kenneth Grant thought it was the creditors he owed money to, sitting in the car, he was too afraid to even breathe.

Later, the man in sunglasses sitting in the front passenger seat turned to look at him, pushed his sunglasses down with a finger, and introduced himself, "Hello, Mr. Grant, I’m Orion Xavier."

Kenneth Grant looked at him awkwardly, running through all his creditors in his mind, but none had the surname Xavier.

Orion Xavier, in his early twenties, had a crew cut and wore a black t-shirt with a skull totem on the chest.

Seeing Kenneth Grant pondering who he was, he sneered and said, "No need to think, Mr. Grant, I’m not one of your old creditors."

Hearing this, Kenneth Grant relaxed slightly, "Then, who are you? How do you know me?"

Orion Xavier said, "Do you know Sutton Group?"

Kenneth Grant looked wary, "I do."

Orion Xavier continued, "Heard of Silas Sutton? I’m one of his men."

Kenneth Grant said, "I have no dealings with President Sutton."

Orion Xavier nodded, "I know you have no dealings with President Sutton, but your daughter does, she’s currently our Sutton Group’s project manager."

Hearing what Orion Xavier said, Kenneth Grant looked baffled.

A few minutes later, Orion Xavier took out a blank check from his pocket and handed it to him, "Contact your previous creditors in Brynnfield, see how much you owe them, and pay off those debts."

Looking at the check in Orion Xavier’s hand, Kenneth Grant didn’t dare to take it, "Why is your President Sutton helping me?"

Orion Xavier shook the check, raising his eyebrows mockingly, "How can you say it’s helping you?"

Kenneth Grant’s face flushed, and then he thought of something, blurting out, "What’s your President Sutton’s relationship with Stella?"

Orion Xavier, "You’re asking me?"

Kenneth Grant’s face turned a shade paler, recalling how Stella just said most of the family’s debts had been paid off, his mind filled with filthy and sordid thoughts of this circle.

After Orion Xavier finished speaking, seeing Kenneth Grant’s silence, he added, "The amount on this check is limited to the external debts you owe in Brynnfield, not a penny more."

Seeing the disdain in Orion Xavier’s eyes, Kenneth Grant’s suspicions were further confirmed.

Kenneth Grant’s face showed anger and shame, as he yelled, "Is Stella being a mistress to your President Sutton!!"

His outburst startled Orion Xavier.

Orion Xavier never expected Kenneth Grant’s mind to be so unconventional, his lips twitched as he was about to explain, but Kenneth Grant had already opened the door and walked into the crowd.

The driver nearby turned to ask Orion Xavier, "Young Master, should we go after him?"

Orion Xavier cursed, "Is he out of his mind!"

With that, Orion Xavier took out his phone and called Forrest Keller.

Once connected, Forrest Keller asked with a smile, "Is it settled?"

Orion Xavier replied sullenly, "I messed it up."

Forrest Keller thought he misheard, "Messed it up?"

Handing out money, how could that be messed up?

Orion Xavier, who was all brawn and no brains, was a street thug who never went to school; he accidentally got into a fight with Silas Sutton, and after being subdued, he followed him ever since.

"Yes, I messed it up."

Knowing Orion Xavier’s nature, Forrest Keller worried about asking too plainly and making him angry, after careful consideration, he tentatively asked, "Young Master, may I ask how did you mess it up?"

Orion Xavier replied stiffly, "I gave him the check, and he asked if Stella was being a mistress for the Fourth Brother. I didn’t even have time to explain before he got out of the car and left. He must be out of his mind, what kind of father suspects his own daughter’s purity..."

Forrest Keller os: Experience comes with age!!

Though in this relationship, compared to Stella, our President is more like the secret lover who cannot see the light of day...
