CHAPTER 123: CHAPTER 123: WHY CRY IN FRONT OF HIM

Orion Xavier is swearing on the phone with Forrest Keller.

At the hotel, Sue Woods is frantically knocking on Stella Grant’s door, reminiscent of the way Aunt Sheryl used to hammer on Penelope’s door.

Inside, Stella Grant is clutching Silas Sutton’s shirt collar in silence, her eyes slightly red and her face awkward.

Silas Sutton looked at her with raised eyebrows, "Want to hug a little longer?"

Stella Grant suddenly let go, "No need."

After speaking, she awkwardly added, "Thank you."

Silas Sutton lowered his head to meet her gaze, his thin lips curved in a smile, "Or do you want to repay with your body?"

Stella had just cried a while ago, but now she had calmed down, and she replied without changing her expression, "Great kindness need not be thanked. In the next life, I’ll be a cow or a horse to repay you faithfully."

Without waiting for Silas Sutton to respond, Stella Grant turned and directly opened the door.

Silas Sutton didn’t expect Stella Grant to suddenly open the door and hadn’t had time to react before meeting the eyes of Sue Woods and Ray Woods standing outside.

Sue Woods whispered, "Too early, ran into a ghost first thing in the morning."

Ray Woods’ mouth twitched as he looked at Silas Sutton’s ambiguous smile, feeling his urinary system falter instantly.

Compared to the unease of Sue Woods and Ray Woods, Silas Sutton appeared extremely calm, greeting them in a low voice, "Morning."

Sue Woods forced a couple of laughs, "Morning."

Ray Woods, "Ha ha, President Sutton, morning."

Hearing Ray Woods’ unconvincing voice, Sue Woods pinched him hard in the lower back and then said to Silas Sutton, "President Sutton, my brother also works at Sutton Group. You know him, right?"

Silas Sutton’s slender eyes held a smile, "I know him."

Sue Woods continued, "You probably don’t know, but my brother and Stella are actually a couple."

Silas Sutton chuckled lightly at Sue Woods’ enthusiastic performance, "Really?"

Sue Woods, "You forgot, I mentioned it when I was at Stella’s house for dinner."

Silas Sutton’s smile deepened, and he lazily said, "My memory isn’t very good, I forgot."

After speaking, Silas Sutton extended his hand to the reluctantly smiling Ray Woods, "Congratulations, Manager Woods."

Ray Woods felt a surge of sadness, "Thank you, President Sutton."

Standing aside, Stella Grant took a deep breath, "..."

Sue Woods clearly wanted Silas Sutton to give up on Stella, and after seeing them shake hands, she added fuel to the fire, "President Sutton, you have no idea, my brother and Stella have such a great relationship that being apart for a day feels like three years."

Silas Sutton sneered, "Oh?"

Ray Woods awkwardly laughed, "My sister tends to exaggerate, President Sutton, don’t take her seriously."

Not knowing Sue Woods and Silas Sutton already saw each other last night in the restroom, she thought Ray Woods was shy and cleared her throat to deliberately say, "Bro, why are you shy, President Sutton is also young and won’t laugh at you."

Then, Sue Woods smiled slyly at Silas Sutton and said, "President Sutton, I heard your relationship with your fiancée is also quite good?"

Silas Sutton smiled playfully, "Not as good as your brother’s with Manager Grant."

Stella Grant, being mentioned, "..."

They stood awkwardly at the door for a while until Silas Sutton took a call and left.

Silas Sutton took a few steps out of the door and suddenly stopped to look back at Sue Woods, "Are you still repaying debts to Ben Lawson lately?"

Sue Woods had already turned her back and was sporting a victorious smile until she heard his words and her expression froze.

Silas Sutton was content with her facial expression at the moment and smiled, "Keep up the good work."

Sue Woods, "..."

A few minutes later, Silas Sutton took the elevator and left.

As soon as he got on the elevator, Sue Woods went haywire.

With nowhere to vent her anger, she reached out to strangle Ray Woods’ neck and furiously said, "Do you think he’s provoking me?"

Ray Woods pushed her away with one hand, "He doesn’t like you, does he need to provoke? Crushing you is easier than crushing an ant."

Sue Woods glared at Ray Woods with disdain, "Look at your performance just then. I thought you were a man with steely bones and unyielding pride, but you’re actually just a coward..."

Sue Woods and Ray Woods bickered, while Stella Grant glanced at the siblings, rubbing her aching temples as she walked back.

Stella Grant was truly annoyed, not by Sue Woods and Ray Woods, but by herself.

How did she not control herself just now?

Why did she cry in front of him?
