Chapter 181 You Will Give Me a Child

• Ariana's POV:
• I had no idea when Stefan had contacted James. At that moment, shock and helplessness consumed me. His fingers dug painfully into my jaw, and I didn't dare to struggle. My body locked up, rigid with tension.
• Though fury simmered beneath his expression, Stefan's lips curled into a cold sneer. "Don't be so nervous. To be honest, I don't think James' company is even worth the effort he's putting in. If someone handed it to me, I wouldn't even look at it. He doesn't know his place, and he's crossed the wrong person. No one has ever dared to take something from me."
