Chapter 239
\nHe Never Noticed Me Until I Loved Someone Else novel Chapter 239<\/p>\n
The man on the other end of the line introduced himself as Mr. Halloway, a lawyer claiming he wanted to discuss the recent vandalism of the machinery at Stella Quinn’s factory.<\/p>\n
Stella knitted her brows. The police had called her that morning, confirming that the men who smashed the machines had recently come into a large sum of money.<\/p>\n
However, the payment was entirely in cash, leaving the identity of the mastermind a mystery. This suggested the vandalism wasn’t just some random act of revenge.<\/p>\n
The authorities assured her they would follow the money trail to track down the person pulling the strings.<\/p>\n
She certainly hadn’t expected to get a call from Mr. Halloway so soon.<\/p>\n
“My client is willing to cover all your damages,” Mr. Halloway said. “All you need to do is sign a settlement agreement and drop the investigation.”<\/p>\n
His tone was strictly professional. “Ms. Quinn, my client also mentioned that if you refuse, she will instruct me to negotiate directly with the chairman of The Quinn Group. She is confident he will agree. I suggest you consider this carefully.”<\/p>\n
Stella’s frown deepened. Whoever was behind this knew all about her ties to The Quinn Group, which meant it had to be an inside job.<\/p>\n
If it were Sylvia or Seraphina Quinn, they wouldn’t have bothered hiring a lawyer to discuss compensation. They would have just run crying to George Quinn, knowing he’d protect them.<\/p>\n
Other than those two, who else would target her so maliciously?<\/p>\n
But when Stella pressed Mr. Halloway for a name, he refused to budge. He merely reiterated the hefty settlement amount and told her to think it over.<\/p>\n
Just then, Sebastian Huxley walked over.<\/p>\n
Noticing the grave expression on her face, he asked, “Stella, who was that? Is something wrong?”<\/p>\n
Since Sebastian was in the loop about everything involving SD Apparel, Stella saw no reason to hide it. She quickly recounted Mr. Halloway’s demands.<\/p>\n
“Didn’t you say Mr. Stafford found some evidence linking the incident to your stepmother?” Sebastian asked.<\/p>\n
Stella nodded. “I thought it was her at first, but based on what Mr. Halloway just said, it doesn’t sound like her style.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-3527","chapter","type-chapter","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/kampoengnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter\/3527","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=3527"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
