Dear Sweetheart

Chapter 532

Unfortunately, Mathias’ misdeeds led to his assets being confiscated, leaving his wife and daughter with no place to stay.

That also meant it’d be even more difficult for Stella, who was merely his illegitimate child, to claim a dime from him.

In all honesty, her reason for working with Naomi and becoming a spy in the Faymon Group wasn’t to get back at Mathias. It was simply because Naomi could pay her well.

As for a heartless sc*mbag like Mathias, Stella couldn’t care less if he died.

Arnaud smiled as he crossed his legs and leaned back on the couch. “Even if you can’t get anything from your father, there’s no need to fret. That pathetic inheritance is nothing compared to what I can give you.”

“You’re right, Sir. Your generosity is incomparable,” Stella replied, a smile tugging at her lips while she twirled her hair. “I know there are many benefits from working with you, so rest assured that I’ll do my best.”

Arnaud took a sip of his brandy and nodded, clearly impressed with Stella. Like Naomi, she was deviously clever, and it wasn’t every day that he got to meet a woman of such caliber.

“You’re a lot smarter than I imagined, Ms. Zink. The person you sent to Summerbank accomplished their tasks perfectly. However…” he said before casting a sidelong glance at Stella. “I only told you to keep an eye on Rayna. I didn’t give any other instructions, did I? It’s impressive that you’ve gotten yourself acquainted with Mrs. Xavier, but there are times when lies backfire. Given the status and power of the Xavier family, not even I would be able to protect you if anything goes wrong.”

Stella smiled, seemingly unfazed by Arnaud’s words or the Xaviers’ clout.

“Sir, do you know what the butterfly effect is?”

Naturally, that piqued Arnaud’s interest. “Tell me more.”
