A Miracle Fault

Chapter 44 Go with Me If He Treats You Badly

She turned around to go upstairs but was stopped by the man when he grabbed her hand. She must have thought that he would not let her go to school – what a silly girl.

"What I promised you will definitely come true, but this is no ordinary time. You have to be good." Stefan's deep dark eyes were fixed on her.

"I know, Stefan. Thank you." She touched his sharp facial features and looked at him with a smile.

Stefan looked at her clear blue eyes and felt calm.

There were still three days before the Byrne Group's shareholder meeting.

Today, Jaiden and Asher suddenly came to the island. After greeting Emmeline, they went into the study right away. The three of them stayed in the study for the entire afternoon. The two of them stayed on the island for dinner in the evening.

Jaiden sat on the table and looked at Emmeline with a smile, showing his white teeth. "Emmeline, is Stefan treating you well?"

"Yes." Emmeline smiled.

"If he treats you badly, you can come with me. I'll take you to Europe. It's beautiful there." He winked at Emmeline.

His flirtatious behaviour made him look like he deserved a good beating. Asher kicked his ass from behind. "How dare you seduce the Lady! Be careful of Stefan sending you to the desert of death!"

Jaiden exclaimed "Ouch" and lied on the couch, pretending to be injured. Emmeline smiled when she saw them frolicking.

Her smile was radiant and captivating; it happened to be seen by Stefan when he stepped out of the elevator.

There was a slight tingling in his heart. This girl had never smiled so happily. She was so beautiful when she smiled!

Asher turned around to glance at Emmeline and was also stunned.

Jaiden and Asher left after dinner. Stefan took Emmeline into the bedroom and made her sit on his lap. "Mrs. Stefan, are you tired?"

"No." She sat on his lap as if it had become a habit.

The man lowered his head and kissed her. When he touched her lips, his fatigue from the day disappeared instantly.

He kissed her gently with dominance. "Wait a few more days, Mrs. Stefan. I'll give you a surprise."

"What kind of surprise?" Emmeline calmly looked at his handsome face. The man was capturing her heart little by little. It seemed that waiting for his news already became a habit.

"You'll know by then." After a pause, he said, "Mrs. Stefan, if I stand up one day, will you leave me?"

His black eyes were like a whirlpool, and he looked at him intently as if he could not wait to suck her in.

"Yes!" If he was able to stand up, then he would no longer need her. She was not his legal wife, so she should leave.

The man looked gloomy all of a sudden. So, she would leave him. He would stand up soon, and he was very dissatisfied with the result.

"Why? Don't you like to stay by my side?" His eyes suddenly became cold.

"No. Stefan, after you stand up, you won't need me to take care of you anymore." She actually did not know what to do.

"Don't forget that you are my woman! You need my permission before you leave." He violently picked her up and rolled the wheelchair before throwing her onto the big bed right away.

Emmeline was confused. He had not been this angry in a long time. Why was he doing this?

She got up and touched her sore nose. "Stefan, aren't you aware of my relationship with you? You and Anayah are husband and wife!" At this moment, she felt upset but did not know why. When she thought of Anayah and him as husband and wife in law, she felt very agitated!

"How long are you going to keep making trouble? I'll take care of the matter between me and Anayah. Don't worry. Have I told you that you can only stay by my side for your whole life? I'll take care of everything!"

The man jumped into bed, held her in his arms, and stared at her.

There was mist in Emmeline's eyes. She looked up at Stefan. "I didn't make trouble. I just thought of you walking out when you can stand up and of you not needing anyone to take care of you. You are going to do great things. But I don't know how to do anything when I stay by your side. I'm afraid grandpa will dislike me again."

Stefan lifted her chin. "Remember, regardless of whether I stand up or not in the future, you are not allowed to leave! Do you hear me? I'll give you the piece of paper you want. Trust me."

Emmeline's heart began thumping. He said that he would give her that piece of paper. Marriage certificate? Was he going to divorce Anayah? But there was no love between him and her either. Would they be happy just because they had that piece of paper?

Emmeline did not dare say anything again. She closed her eyes silently, and her heart thumped while she was in his arms.

Because she was nervous and tense, Emmeline fell asleep quickly. The man smiled slightly and hugged the girl as he gradually fell asleep.

Two days passed.

Today was the day when the Byrne Group would officially announce the new President at the shareholder meeting. It was also the day when Stefan started working at the Byrne Group.

At nine o'clock in the morning, all shareholders entered the meeting room in the Byrne Building one after another. It was finally the important day.

Accompanied by Callum and Ciara, Edison arrived at the Byrne Building. The door of the stretch Lincoln opened, and Edison trudged out of the car. He looked cold as he strode into the building!

Although Edison was 80 years old and grey-haired, his expression was grim, and he was dignified and well-respected.

As the door of the conference room was opened, he walked in slowly, scanning everyone in the huge conference room with a penetrating gaze.

To his right was Frank. He was dressed in a white dress shirt and suit. He was handsome and extraordinary. There was a smug smile on his handsome face because, after today, he would become the new leader of the Byrne family and the leader of the Byrne Group's Group and its subsidiary, CT Group!

He seemed to hear voices congratulating him nonstop and looked up at Callum and Ciara on the opposite side. The two of them also looked at him with a smile.

He looked around and did not see Stefan. His lips curled up. How could that cripple come? He actually managed to escape by the skin of his teeth last time in France.

Those Mexican gangsters were useless and could not even kill a cripple! Nôvel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner.

Frank sat there and thought that one day, he would make that cripple disappear from this world, lest the old man refused to give up!

All the shareholders looked up at Edison and only felt that Edison today was different from before. But they all saw Frank smiling and stopped worrying.

"The Byrne Group has a long history. Since its founding, it has undergone several changes and even encountered the biggest crisis. But looking back today, we overcame all kinds of difficulties and made it a success again! It now stands tall in X City!"

More than forty shareholders nodded and admitted that without Mr. Byrne, the Byrne Group and the CT Group would not exist.

"I'm old now, but the younger generation is talented. I can safely hand over the group to the young people. I believe they will bravely lead the group, expand globally, and take it to the next level!"

The applause was deafening. Frank looked at Edison with a smile. He saw Edison's eyes on him several times. His heart started beating rapidly.

"Today, I announce here that the new leader of the Byrne Group and its subsidiary, CT Group, is..."
