The Apology from My Ex and His Mistress novel Chapter 280

“Not gonna ask me to sit down?” The man looked at Maxwell with a half–smile. “Back when you and Steph went to Groena, I treated you two pretty well.”

The word “please” and the four words “treat well” were especially emphasized.

Maxwell dangerously narrowed his eyes and stared back coldly at him.

There seemed to be an invisible magnetic field between the two, and every time their eyes met, it was like an invisible clash.

The whole meeting room was in a weird vibe.

Someone was whispering again.

“What happened? What did he just mean? Where did that contract come from? Wasn’t it done the proper way?”

“It was definitely through proper channels. Back then, the Humphrey Group couldn’t compete with his family’s consortium. How could they have signed without the other side’s approval? But I heard there was something weird about it.”

“What is it?”

Estrella was the first to react. She walked over with a smile and led the man to the side.

She had heard way too much gossip about Vincent, the Humphrey family, and Stephanie back when she was in Groena, but she had never really known what exactly happened.

Even when she used the Shelton family to pressure Stephanie,

Stephanie didn’t say anything. Instead, she played a bullfight song to mock them.

Thinking about it, she secretly turned around and went to the corner to call Stephanie.

But Maxwell stopped her with a glare.

“So disrespectful?” The man noticed Maxwell’s move and smiled dangerously, “Don’t want to find Steph?”

The man took out his phone.

“It’s okay, I’ll make this call.”

He smiled and looked at Estrella again: “Thanks for the wine you brought for Steph, I really liked that one, and I was just about to ask her what she thought of it.”

Although she smiled at Estrella, Estrella still felt a chill run down her spine.

It was like being watched by a poisonous snake.

But before he pressed it, his hand was already grabbed by another hand.

The man looked up and saw Maxwell’s dark eyes.
