Chapter 62 She’s Been Winning All Along
Sharon shook her head. “She didn’t go to find a job there.”
Joanathan asked again. Then what’s she doing over there?”
“She has a studio there. From what I saw, it’s pretty big. Probably makes a lot of money
Jonathan’s eyes widened..What?”
The atmosphere in the hospital room froze.
Jonathan stared at her in disbelief. “Are you sure you didn’t get it wrong?”
Stella? Owning a studio? With what money? And even if she somehow scraped it together, what did she even knote? What could she possibly
FWAY
Sharon could see the doubt on his face and said, “I didn’t believe it either at first, but it’s definitely her, I even heard the employees calling her “boss”
Jonathan was silent.
The room fell quiet again. He kept staring at Sharon, clearly still unconvinced. “You really didn’t mistake her for someone else?”
“No way,” she replied flatly. “My brother took me there today to apologize to her. We were face–to–face. How could I possibly get it wrong?”
Seeing that he refused to believe her, Sharon gave up on keeping it vague. After all, it was not like the meeting had been subtle. Anyone with eyes would have realized who they were dealing with.
Jonathan frowned. “Apologize? Apologize for what?”
Sharon shrugged her shoulders, “For what happened last night. Ugh, it’s a long story.”
She did not want to say another word about it. Just thinking about Stella’s attitude toward her made her grit her teeth. That woman was just too smug.
Jonathan’s expression darkened. “No wonder she hasn’t given in, no matter how we pressured her. So it turns out she has money?”
Sharon nodded. “Exactly. So money won’t get her on her knees anymore.”
Just the irony of it all made her furious.
They had gone out of their way to cut off Stella’s income and destroy her career prospects, and it turns out she did not need their help at all.
Jonathan let out a cold laugh. “So money’s not enough? Fine. We’ll see.
By the time Susan returned, Sharon had already left.
Seeing she was gone, Susan muttered, “You know exactly how Sharon feels about you. That girl outside, cut it off. Send her
away
Jonathan frowned but nodded. “Got it.”
Susan continued, “If it weren’t for what happened to Lilian, we’d already be arranging things between you and Sharon…
Talking about Lilian’s health, Susan’s face twisted in sorrow, “Stella is just too much.”

This time, we had to teach her a real lesson. She needed to understand that in Rivermount, she was only surviving because we let her,
Jonathan said flatly. “Freezing her card won’t work. She’s got a studio. I just looked it up. She made over 980,000 dollars last
year.
What?” Susan froze, shocked.
The number hit her like a slap.
980,000 dollars? Earned by Stella? That’s impossible!
Jonathan nodded. “Sharon saw it herself. She went to Stella’s studio in Oriental Grand Tower.”
The room went dead silent.
Susan’s pupils constricted as disbelief bloomed across her face. “You’re serious?”
Jonathan answered flatly. “Dead serious. Over 980,000 dollars. Last year alone.”
Susan almost forgot to breathe.
980,000 dollars. That wasn’t a small number. How in the world had Stella pulled that off?
“No wonder all our threats and pressure didn’t work on her. So she’s Susan could not even finish the sentence. Her mind kept circling back on how Stella had done it.
“That studio, she said through gritted teeth, “you can’t let her keep running it.”
She was beyond furious. Just the thought that Stella had made that much money behind their backs made her blood boil. “She made all that money and still has the nerve to compare herself to Lilian, constantly nitpicking and competing. If that’s the case, it’s better she shuts the whole thing down!”
Jonathan nodded. “Don’t worry. It’s already taken care of.
He had already sent word to every major company in Rivermount. No one was to work with Stella.
Let’s see how long the lasted after being blacklisted. She wasn’t that capable anyway. Probably just got lucky once.
Thinking that, Jonathan felt certain it would not be long before Stella came crawling back to the Reed family.
Susan was still fuming, “Where did she even learn those skill
Suddenly, it all felt like a joke, like they had been the fools this whole time.
They had gone mad trying to cut off her finances and career paths, and meanwhile, she had quietly raked in 980,000 dollars.
On the hospital bed, Lilian, eyes closed this entire time, had been awake for a while now. She had heard everything-
