The Billionaire CEO Wants to Marry Me Every Day-Chapter 98: Heartache

Stella Monroe didn’t think much of it and just assumed it was Summer Monroe sowing discord. She softly said, "It’s okay, Clarissa, just clear things up. Was it Summer who harmed you?"

Clarissa Stanton lowered her head, not daring to speak.

She had wanted to conspire with her mom against Summer, but those lies were too easy to dismantle, so she didn’t dare say a word.

Seeing Clarissa like this, Stella just assumed she was scared by Henry Stanton, so she turned to Henry and said, "Honey, I know you feel indebted to Summer, so you always defend her. But this matter really has nothing to do with Clarissa. As soon as Clarissa came back, she cried to me, saying Summer took Young Master Knight to the set and snatched her lead role. Regarding the company’s affairs, it must be something Summer said." 𝘧𝓇ℯ𝑒𝓌𝑒𝑏𝓃𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭.𝒸ℴ𝓂

As she spoke, she coldly looked at Summer and said, "Summer, I really couldn’t tell that at such a young age, you’d be so malicious. You hate your sister, and taking away her lead role might be forgivable, but even scheming against the company now, what exactly do you want?!"

Henry Stanton was so angry that his temples throbbed, but his remaining rationality prevented him from believing that the usually well-behaved Summer would do such things.

He tried to suppress his anger and asked Summer in a calm tone, "Does this have anything to do with you?"

Summer coolly glanced at Stella and said blandly, "Dad, I didn’t realize Auntie had such a big grudge against me, to the point of even suspecting me over something like this. I initially didn’t want to say anything, but since Auntie is accusing me, I have no choice but to clarify the matter."

Summer’s voice was icy, and when she wasn’t deliberately putting on an obedient tone, it actually had a bit of a cold edge to it.

Her sudden manner of speaking made Stella inexplicably nervous.

Summer slightly tilted her chin and said, "This matter started with Young Master Knight’s business card. Since I’m currently the spokesperson for the Midnight Coffee House, Young Master Knight gave me one of his business cards. I had planned to give it to Dad, but after I went out, the card disappeared."

"What?!" Henry Stanton said with distress, "Such a precious card, why didn’t you keep it safe?!"

Summer didn’t beat around the bush and said directly, "Because my sister took it and didn’t tell me, and then she used it to get the lead role..."

"Shut up!" Clarissa couldn’t bear this humiliation and shouted to stop Summer from speaking.

Henry glared at Clarissa, "The one who should shut up is you! Let your sister continue!"

With Henry’s words, Clarissa didn’t dare interrupt anymore.

Summer then explained how Clarissa used the business card to deceive the crew and get the lead role. Unfortunately, Damian Knight found out about it, and he took her to the set and clarified the situation, which led to Clarissa losing the lead role.

Summer sighed and said, "Originally, it was just losing a lead role, but who would have thought that my sister threw Young Master Knight’s card onto the ground in anger, which made him furious and he announced the cancellation of all cooperation with our family on the spot. On the way home, I tried to persuade him for a long time... It seems that he still didn’t listen to me."

Summer looked regretful and sad, casting a disappointed glance at Clarissa.

Clarissa couldn’t hold back and angrily said, "You’re lying! You definitely didn’t try to persuade Young Master Knight! You’re determined to see me get scolded by Dad!"

Summer shook her head sadly, "Clarissa, even now you don’t know you’re wrong and still want to frame me? This is your home too, as well as mine. Would I destroy our family’s business just to have Dad scold you?"
