Milana was so exasperated she could practically feel her fingers itching to thump Steven on the head. For someone so competent at work, he sure was clueless when it came to personal relationships. “She’s your wife. Just because she doesn’t show it doesn’t mean she doesn’t care. Believe me, you need to tell her when you’re going out.”
Steven asked, “You really think she cares about me?”
Milana retorted, “If she didn’t care, why would she have married you and not some other guy?”
Steven couldn’t argue with that. He quickly ascended the stairs to Hannah’s room, reaching for the door handle only to find it locked. He leaned against the door, saying, “Hannah, I need to step out for a bit. I’ll be back in two hours at the most.”
But there was no response from inside.
Not sure if Hannah had heard him, Steven repeated himself, but again, there was no response. He walked away, feeling a bit downcast.
Inside the room, Hannah curled her lips, muttering to herself, “I used to ask you where you were going and you wouldn’t tell me. Now I couldn’t care less.”e2 This content provided by N(o)velDrama].[Org.
She took out her phone and shot a message to Cornelia, [Nelly, I’ve settled in at Harbor City. Don’t worry about me. I’ll be careful not to get into any trouble.]
She waited for a reply, but none came. Unbeknownst to her, Cornelia had typed out a response, only to have her phone snatched away by Jeremy.
Jeremy nibbled on Cornelia’s earlobe, saying, “You still have the energy to text others in the middle of our…moment? I guess I need to try harder.”
As Jeremy interrupted her, Cornelia’s attention was quickly diverted from Hannah to him.
Steven had previously thought that under the pressure from the Dixon family, the Salazars would keep Daniela in check and she wouldn’t dare harm Hannah. So he hadn’t been in a hurry to deal with Daniela.
Steven had planned to let Daniela witness how the Salazar family, who had been her protection, crumbled under the Dixon’s power. He wanted her to taste humiliation.
However, after today’s events, Steven knew he couldn’t risk leaving Daniela unchecked. To ensure Hannah’s safety, Daniela had to be dealt with first.
As for the Salazar family, they were already on the brink of collapse.
He drove alone, heading straight for the Salazar residence.
When Donny heard that Steven had arrived alone, he scoffed, “That kid Steven sure has balls, daring to come here alone. Does he really think we are pushovers?”
Wesley glared at Donny, his expression hardened, “Just because your sister is foolish doesn’t mean you should follow in her footsteps.”
Donny retorted, “Dad, we may be behind the Dixons in many ways, but we are also a respectable family. If Steven wants to swallow our Salazar Corporation, do we just roll over and let him?”
Donny was young and hot-headed. Despite knowing that they were no match for the Dixons and that he was certainly no match for Steven, he still wanted to put on a brave face. “Today, we’ll make sure
Steven doesn’t leave here alive,” he said.
Wesley shot him a cold look, “Do you even realize what you’re saying?”
Donny didn’t back down, “I know exactly what I’m saying, dad. We’ve coexisted peacefully with the Dixons for decades, with many joint ventures before Steven took over. But he cut off all partnerships with us, which has caused dissatisfaction among the Dixon Group’s shareholders and executives. We can use this to our advantage and catch him off guard.”
These words nearly gave Wesley a stroke, “I asked you to help me manage the company and learn from Steven, but you’ve learned nothing good. All you’ve learned is how to play with women.”
Donny muttered under his breath, “Who doesn’t play with women? You’ve had your fair share over the years. My mom died because of you, so don’t act all righteous in front of me.”
