Lingering Passion: Mr. Sutton Wants to be Your Male Lead!-Chapter 59: Refusing to Sit and Wait for Death

Stella Grant didn’t need to guess who sent the message.

Sue Woods saw her lips form a hint of sarcasm and couldn’t help but shift her tone and ask, "Who sent you a message?"

Stella Grant didn’t hide it and handed out her phone.

Sue Woods took the phone, glanced down, and then looked up, "Who?"

Stella Grant, "Flynn Shepherd."

Upon hearing Stella Grant’s words, the weakness in Sue Woods’ legs from Ben Lawson’s scare instantly faded, and she gritted her teeth, "He even deliberately changed to a stranger’s number just to send you a message, trying to be all spooky?"

Stella Grant didn’t tell Sue Woods that Flynn Shepherd sent her a tortured-to-death cat a few days ago, only lightly tugged at her lips and said, "I initially planned to deal with him after this busy period, but it looks like I can’t wait any longer."

Sue Woods, "When dealing with a bastard, you need to be swift, why wait?"

Looking at Sue Woods, Stella Grant couldn’t help but laugh, "Forgot I just advised you to let go of the knife?"

Sue Woods replied with a straight face, "This once won’t hurt."

Stella Grant didn’t really plan on getting Sue Woods’ help, she verbally agreed and sent her home after leaving the hospital.

Sue Woods stayed up all night, thinking Stella Grant would deal with Flynn Shepherd another day, didn’t think much about it, and fell asleep after showering at home.

After sending off Sue Woods, Stella Grant parked by the roadside and dialed President Wright.

The call connected, and President Wright’s tone wasn’t exactly friendly, "Grant, what’s up?"

Stella Grant could guess President Wright’s mood right now, it’s likely he thinks she’s colluding with Flynn Shepherd to deceive him.

Stella Grant sincerely apologized for a few sentences, then succinctly got to the point, "President Wright, the main reason for my call is to inform you, I’m planning to deal with Flynn Shepherd, it might involve your wife."

President Wright indeed thought Stella Grant and Flynn Shepherd were on the same side, after all, the incident had been unresolved for so long without hearing any signs of them splitting up, upon hearing her words, he was skeptical, "You plan to deal with Flynn Shepherd?"

Stella Grant said, "Not afraid of making you laugh, after thinking it over, I just can’t swallow this injustice."

Stella Grant didn’t want to reveal what had exactly happened to President Wright, it’s likely he wouldn’t want to hear anyway.

High in stature, low in speech.

Stella Grant knows her own worth.

President Wright, "How do you plan to deal with him?"

Stella Grant said half-truths, "I don’t have great skills, but I can predict given your network, he won’t survive in Veridia; if he can’t survive there, his retreat would be his hometown. I plan to visit and widely publicize his ’glorious deeds’ in advance."

President Wright didn’t expect Stella Grant’s audacity, young women nowadays care about reputation, especially Stella Grant, who’s considered a leader, normally women wouldn’t dare to do such degrading things.

After Stella Grant finished talking, President Wright’s tone carried a hint of amusement, "Not worried about losing face?"

Stella Grant replied with a smile, "Not worried."

Compared to losing face, she fears long-term, explosive risks lurking like a bomb.

Stella Grant’s assured answer made President Wright drop the act, "Go ahead, I’ve already instructed the lawyer to start the divorce proceedings, it’ll be publicly announced within two days."

Stella Grant, "Alright, President Wright, thank you for your time."

President Wright chuckled and, just before hanging up, asked, "Grant, why don’t you ask President Sutton to handle this for you?"

Stella Grant responded calmly, "My relationship with President Sutton doesn’t extend that far."

She couldn’t deny her connection with Silas Sutton; that business trip was widely observed, all Rhodes Group people, it’s impossible they haven’t reported to President Wright.

Moreover, Silas Sutton previously intervened and had President Wright help her.

After Stella Grant finished, President Wright laughed meaningfully, "Got it."

Cutting the call, Stella Grant contacted the company and requested leave.

Once everything was prepared, Stella Grant turned on the car navigation and headed to Flynn Shepherd’s hometown.

As the car hit the road, Stella Grant picked up the phone from the center console and replied to the message from Flynn Shepherd’s unknown number: Do you really have news about my dad?

Flynn Shepherd replied instantly: Why would I lie to you?

Stella Grant: Okay, but fifty thousand isn’t a small amount, give me two days to prepare.

Flynn Shepherd thought Stella Grant truly believed and readily agreed: Alright.

Closing the phone, Stella Grant’s eyes were filled with indifference.
