Chapter 194 Everything Has to Do with Stella
And yet she said nothing and had been watching the show.
The more Ethan thought about it, the angrier he got as his face darkened.
About ten minutes later, Judson came out from inside with a gloomy face. You didn’t need to guess to know the negotiations had failed.
The moment his eyes met Ethan’s, flames were practically shooting out of them.
He held it in again and again. But finally, he couldn’t take it anymore as he walked straight up and kicked Ethan and said. “You worthless brat, you’re killing me!”
It wasn’t a light kick. Ethan staggered. If Jason hadn’t caught him from behind in time, he probably would have stumbled
onto the floor.
Judson glared at him with his grim face. By looking at his face, it was obvious that the negotiation failed,
Judson looked like he wanted to say more, but he was too angry to speak, storming off instead.
He was afraid that if he stayed any longer, he might beat his only son to death.
The butler, Tower, who’d come along with Judson, rushed out behind him. He glanced at Ethan before catching up with Judson.
But Ethan stopped him and asked, “Tower, how did it go?”
Honestly, Judson’s face already gave away the answer. But Ethan still couldn’t help asking.
Tower glanced at him, sighed, and shook his head. Then he said, “They said the Luke family will only choose one partner at Rivermount. And the candidate is the Parker family.”
Saying they’d only choose one was just a nice way of saying that they won’t work with the Keene family.
Even with Judson showing up personally, it didn’t work out for them.
It could be seen that this whole situation was pretty serious.
Seeing Ethan in his worried expression, Tower hesitated a moment and reminded him, “Mr. Keene, with your falling–out with Ms. Dawson, now it…”
Thinking about what Mr. Luke had said inside, Tower could only shake his head.
“Mr. Keene, allow me to remind you, rumors from Fleule are saying that Mr. Luke is a person who is protective of his people.
Ethan was left speechless as he thought, Protectivet Protective of whom? Stella?She’s just a woman. Is that worth it?
Tower then left.
A storm was brewing on Ethan’s face. Jason looked at him, unsure of what to say,
From how Judson left, you could easily tell how furious he was.
And he should be furious.
The Luke family’s ores were their last viable option, which was now gone too
Right now, the Keene Group was at stake!

Chapter 194 Everything Has to Do with Stella
From what Tower said earlier, it sounded like all of this was somehow related to Stella.
Jason pondered, then he figured he should update Ethan on the current situation at Reed Group.
Jason said, “The Reed Group’s in a lot of trouble right now. Word is it’s tied to Sterling Global.”
Upon hearing him, Ethan tilted his head to look at Jason and asked, “Sterling Global?”
Jason replied, “That’s the company Ms. Dawson earned several hundred thousand dollars from.”
Last year, she made 980,000 dollars. It seemed that more than 840,000 came from Sterling Global.
Finished
Her other earnings, from smaller outside projects, added up to just a few tens of thousands, which is the normal profits for a
studio..
But with Sterling Global, everything changed.
It instantly brought her studio to the top in Rivermount.
Ethan remembered when they tried to shut her studio down a while back, they called Sterling Global and got told off
Those people were so arrogant that thinking of it still made his face darken.
Ethan laughed coldly and said, “You’re telling me this has nothing to do with Stella?”
Jason said nothing.
Clearly, everything had to do with her.
Ethan then asked, “Who’s the president of Sterling Global?”
Jason answered, “It’s a foreigner called Job Hog
Ethan remained silent as he thought, foreigner!No wonder he didn’t understand how things worked inRivermount
His eyes flickered with frustration as he said,. “We underestimated Stella. We really did.”
Ethan then said, “Look into the relationship between this guy and Stella.”
This felt so unreal.
Lately, everything that went wrong around here was somehow related to her.
Nothing was ever unrelated to her.
Jason replied, “Got it.”
Then he asked. “Did Mr. Judson just meet Mr. Luke earlier?*
Ethan kept quiet.
It would’ve been better if he hadn’t brought that up. At the mention, Ethan’s face darkened.
Ethan then said, “Verdant Villa belongs to the Luke family”
Jason then said. “What? So you’re saying Ms. Dawson has gotten close with someone from the Luke family recently
Ethan said, “Drop the subject”
