The Wrong Girl and the Wronged Girl (Stella and Ethan) novel Chapter 104

Chapter 104 Cold Showers

Inside the office, Ethan looked up as Stella walked back in. “That fast? Already cooled off?”

No

sooner had the words left his mouth than he saw the bucket in her hand.

A bad feeling crept up his spine–too late.

Splash!

The sound hit first, followed by the icy chill soaking through every layer of his clothes, sending a jolt straight to his bones.

Thunk! Stella slammed the bucket hard onto the floor.

Ethan roared, “Stella!”

This damned woman!

He was completely drenched; water dripped steadily from his hair, stinging his eyes and blurring his vision.

And that smell, what the heck was in that water? It reeked. Ethan wiped his face roughly, glaring at Stella with fury blazing in his

eyes.

Stella stood with her arms crossed. “Clear–headed now? Anything else you’re still confused about?”

Ethan glared at her. If looks could kill, he would’ve torn her to pieces.

Seeing him too angry to speak, Stella repeated herself “Still confused? Next time, it won’t be cold water–it’ll be boiling

You come at me like this? If I don’t show you what I’m made of do you really think I’m the kind of woman who’ll just take it? Stella pondered.

Ethan was so mad, his brain went blank. No one had ever treated him like this before…..

From childhood, thanks to the Keene family’s influence–and later, once he took over the Keene Group-

Everyone had treated him with nothing but respect.

But Stella..

“I guess you don’t want to keep this studio open!” he barked, shooting to his feet. His whole body radiated pressure, casting a heavy weight in Stella’s direction.

But Stella didn’t flinch. Then shut it down, if you think

His intimidation met her defiance head–on.

you can.”

Ethan’s eyes nearly sparked flames, but faced with her complete lack of fear, it was like fire meeting water.

It sizzled out in an instant.

“You just wait!” he growled.

With that, he turned and stormed toward the door, fury rolling off him in waves.

Behind him, Stella made a sharp, unmistakable noise of disdain–clear and deliberate,

That sound only made the air around Ethan grow colder; he looked like a man possessed, like he wouldn’t rest until Stella was dragged down to hell.

Once Ethan left in a storm, Kimmy peeked her head nervously into the office. Only when she saw Stella’s face looking calm did she dare to step in.

1/2

Kimmy nodded. “Yeals. He looked like a drowned rat–and he stank”

Stella said nothing

Kimmy added. “He was dripping wet and limping you. You really did a number on him

“I didn’t hit him, Stella said Haily

“You didn’t? Then how come Mr. Keene looked like he got run over? His arm and leg both looked bruised?

Stella went quiet. If Ethan had been taking hits lately, he definitely wasn’t short on beatings

First Abraham, then her, and now Abel.

Kimmy sighed. “Seriously, dealing with idiots is exhausting”

“Huh?” Kimmy blinked, Mr. Keene an idiot! That couldn’t be right. He ran the massive Keene Group If that was an idiot, then the previous chairman had really dropped the ball.

“He’s a real idiot, Stella muttered. “Even getting hit doesn’t help

To her, Ethan was the textbook definition of slow–witted. She’d spelled everything out for him. More than once, Loud and clear. And still–he didn’t get it.

She’d said what needed saying. She’ll even laid hands on him
