Henry Stanton finally cald down completely after getting Sumr Monroe’s confirmation, as if he had taken a calming pill.
He asked nervously, "Did Young Master Knight say anything?"
Just as Sumr was about to reply, Henry’s phone rang.
Henry’s eyes lit up as he answered the call imdiately, "Hello, President Rhodes? What? The cooperation will continue? Thank you so much! Let’s communicate more if there are any disagreents in the future. Alright, you continue with your work."
After hanging up, Henry looked at Sumr admiringly, "Indeed, you’re my good daughter, smart and capable! They said we can continue our cooperation!"
Sumr gave a faint smile; isn’t she smart and capable? She had promised Damian Knight that she would make him another al of dumplings, and that was how she secured the continuance of the cooperation.
Just as she was about to perfunctorily say sothing, Stella Monroe ca out of the villa, smiling and said, "I’ve heard... Clarissa, you saved the whole family!"
Sumr carefully observed Stella’s eyes and found she seed genuinely happy, not pretending.
It seed Stella’s plan was going well, just waiting for her to fall from grace.
Sumr feigned nonchalance and lowered her eyes with a shy smile.
The next mont, Stella took her hand and said, "Auntie instructed the kitchen to make so tonic for you. After a hard night’s work, you need to replenish your energy. You look so pale, Auntie really cares about you. Go drink it, the tonic has other ingenious uses beyond nourishnt."
At this critical mont, the "ingenious uses" couldn’t be anything other than fertility enhancent.
Sumr gave Stella a deep look, feeling that Stella must be playing a big ga this ti.
Beside them, Henry noticed how "sensible" Stella was and looked comforted.
No matter how much trouble Clarissa caused, those incidents were her doing and unrelated to Stella.
Perhaps, he shouldn’t have been sleeping in the study room, neglecting Stella.
Children’s mistakes shouldn’t be blad on Stella.
Henry looked at Sumr and said, "Don’t let down your auntie’s goodwill, go drink it, and we’ll talk afterward."
Saying this, Henry took Stella’s hand, displaying a harmonious couple.
If it were before, Sumr would have felt disgusted seeing this, feeling it unfair to her mom and sad for herself. But now, she felt no change in emotion, even smiling sweetly, saying, "Alright, I’ll go drink it now."
This couple should be locked up together, to prevent them from harming others!
However, Stella might not necessarily want to be locked up with him.
With her own thoughts, Sumr went to the kitchen to drink the tonic Stella had prepared.
At ho, Stella wouldn’t be foolish enough to tamper with the tonic she ordered to make.
Of course, before drinking, Sumr had sniffed the tonic, and the herbs used could indeed replenish her qi depleted from acupuncture.
Just after Sumr finished drinking the tonic, Henry called her over again.
He dismissed all the servants, leaving only Stella nearby, as he spoke with a smile, "Last night... afterward, did Young Master Knight promise you anything?"
Sumr nodded, "He said that our family’s cooperation with the Knight Group would not be canceled."
Henry looked disappointed and said, "That’s not what I ant. Other than that... did he ntion any intention to marry you?"
A cold glint flashed in Sumr’s eyes; Henry Stanton was really pushing it too far.
