Do you really think I can&#8217;t read a man like him? A guy with his power isn&#8217;t going to spend all his energy on romance! The fact that he&#8217;s giving you an out right now is a miracle. What the hell more do you want?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Stella knew she was never going to get through to him, and she was too exhausted to keep fighting. She softened her tone slightly. &#8220;Dad, let&#8217;s drop it. The board is waiting for us. Shall we?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;&#8230;&#8221; George flicked his sleeve furiously and stomped toward the elevators.<\/p>\n<p>Stella let out a long breath and followed him inside.<\/p>\n<p>Thanks to Jarrod&#8217;s little display of power, the board members and executives were incredibly respectful toward her.<\/p>\n<p>When George officially announced that SD Apparel would be spun off and managed entirely by Stella, no one batted an eye.<\/p>\n<p>The Quinn Group primarily dealt with film and television props. Branded clothing was never their core focus. Plus, SD Apparel originally belonged to Stella&#8217;s maternal grandparents and was currently bleeding money. Cutting it loose was a massive relief to the board.<\/p>\n<p>With George pushing the motion, everyone was more than happy to play along and give him what he wanted.<\/p>\n<p>After the meeting, Stella sat down with the department heads to review SD Apparel&#8217;s current financials.<\/p>\n<p>SD Apparel had once been famous for its authentic Heritage Silkwork. Thanks to her grandfather&#8217;s sharp business acumen and the incredible embroidery skills of her mother and grandmother, it had been a highly respected brand with over a dozen flagship stores in Royal Oaks.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-3437","chapter","type-chapter","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/kampoengnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter\/3437","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/kampoengnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/kampoengnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/chapter"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/kampoengnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3437"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
