Chapter 12 When Did You Learn Despicable Means?1 

Ethan exerted great strength. Stella felt a piercing pain in her wrist. 

She endured the pain and looked up at Ethan. 

She coldly said, “I heard it. Then what?” 

Cohen did not understand the implied meaning in Stella’s words and shouted, “Then what? Apologize to Kay!” 

Trey sighed silently. 

If Stella wanted to apologize to Kaylyn, she wouldn’t have asked so. 

Stella had heard Ethan’s words, but she refused to apologize. 

Ethan’s cold eyes fell on Stella’s face. 

“Apologize to Kay. This is the one last time I warn you.” 

Stella looked into the man’s delicate eyes and said, “Ethan, do you know that what ‘apologize to Kay‘? Don’t you find it annoying? I’m even tired of it.

“Do you

and Kaylyn enjoy hearing apologies? How about I hire a few people to keep apologizing 

Cohen became furious. 

*Stella, you did something wrong and refused to apologize. Do you have any 

shame?” 

Stella said lightly, “Since you think I have done something wrong, call the police and arrest me.” Cohen pointed at her, so angry that he couldn’t speak. 

“You…” 

Suddenly, Stella felt the pain in her wrist intensify, as if her bones were being crushed. 

She winced in pain, her face turning slightly pale. 

Ethan seemed to be completely unaware. His intimidating eyes were fixed on her without blinking. 

“Mr. Dodson.” Stella wouldn’t still resist him when he used physical power. She didn’t want to be the one to suffer.“You are about to crush my wrist.” 

Ethan did not let go.“So, you are not ready to apologize, right?” 

Cohen fanned the flames.“Ethan, well done! She deserves some punishment. Let her know what it means to be outmatched!” 

Stella’s forehead was oozing cold sweat. Her face was as pale as a sheet. 

She trembled slightly in pain, her eyelashes quivering.“If Mr. Dodson twisted my wrist, I would call the police and sue you for intentional injury. Oh, wait…”

She gave a faintly mocking smile and said, “Mr. Dodson, your action may not necessarily constitute intentional harm, but could be considered as domestic violence…”

“Well, I do believe that the media and the public would be more interested in the news that the famous president of the Dodson Group was an abusive husband…”

The pressure on her hand suddenly eased. Stella raised her hand to look at her wrist. 

Her fair and delicate skin had a clear bruise. 

Ethan’s eyes flickered gently. 

Cohen refused to continue. 

“Ethan, listen, what is she saying? She dares to threaten you! You can never indulge this kind of woman. This might be another trick to divert your attention…” 

Cohen wanted to say something more, but Trey covered his mouth. 

“Cohen, we outsiders had better not meddle in the couple’s fight.” 

Trey glanced at Kaylyn and said, “Ms. Greer, let’s stay clear for now.” 

Kaylyn glanced worriedly at Ethan and said softly, “Ethan, Ms. Sutton is at home all day and might feel down recently… Let’s not take her words to heart. She needs to relax.” 

Cohen sneered.“She is just a housewife. She stays at home all day and leads a life of luxury and ease. Why does she need to relax? Why isn’t she not in a good mood? Going out to see some random man will make her feel better?” 

Trey pulled Cohen and said, “Alright, Cohen, let’s go back to the private room and wait for Ethan.” Cohen glared at Stella fiercely and said, “You dare to bully Kay. You’re done for! Wait and see how Ethan will deal with you later!” 

Stella finally looked at him and asked seriously, “Cohen, does being a simp no longer satisfy your special preferences? Are you Ethan’s lackey now?” 

Cohen instantly flew into a rage. 

He angrily pointed at Stella, “Ethan, Trey, did you hear that? She said I am a lackey! I met her outside earlier, and she called me a lackey!” 

Trey cleared his throat gently and said, “Cohen, let’s leave this to Ethan.” 

“No way!” Cohen exclaimed angrily, like a cat whose tail had been stepped on. “If Ethan doesn’t defend me, I won’t leave!” 

Stella said lightly, “Then stay here. I have something to do, so I’ll leave now.” 

Stella rubbed her swollen wrist and was about to leave, bypassing them. 

Ethan’s face darkened. He once again grasped Stella’s wrist. 

This time, he eased up a bit. Stella didn’t feel much pain but still found it difficult to break free. 

Cohen wanted to say something more. But when he saw Ethan’s gloomy face, the words on the tip of his tongue were swallowed back. 

Seeing this scene, Kaylyn also shut up.

Ethan rudely pushed Stella into an empty private room. 

He said in a mocking tone, “Stella, is this your new trick of playing hard to get?” 

Stella frowned and said, “What are you talking about?” 

Ethan’s eyes were filled with sarcasm. “Last time, you deliberately pretended to be in danger and lured me them, but nothing happened… Stella, when did you also learn despicable means?” 

Stella’s heart sank heavily. 

A sharp weapon cut her flesh bit by bit, making it difficult for her to breathe. 

Stella clenched his fist. Her fingernails broke inch by inch in the palm of her hand. 

How did he describe her? 

Despicable? 

Last time, on her way to grocery shopping, she was kidnapped. 

That morning, Joel complained that the vegetables were not fresh. He got angry after taking a few bites and refused to eat. 

Stella knew that Kaylyn probably found out that Lila was responsible for buying vegetables. Kaylyn deliberately mentioned this to Joel. 

Stella went out for groceries herself. 

The person who kidnapped her was pitiful. He was deceived and lost almost a million. He went bankrupt and had nothing left. 

He became desperate and hated society, so he randomly kidnapped a person. 

She was carefully selecting vegetables but became the unlucky target. 

He held a knife against her neck, threatening the police loudly. With intense emotions, he left a shallow scar on her neck. 

In order to keep the kidnapper stable, Stella told him that her husband was very wealthy and could help him repay the debt. 

The kidnapper never met someone who promised to help him repay his debt. He was somewhat skeptical. 

She told the kidnapper that as long as she made the phone call, she could help him and restore him to a normal life. 

The kidnapper hesitated and allowed her to make a phone call. 

repay the debts 

The phone was connected. Stella only said one sentence, “I am kidnapped,” and then heard the doctor say Kaylyn needed urgent medical treatment and surgery consent form must be signed 

soon.

Ethan said, “Kay is critically ill. I will call you later.” He hung up the phone. 

She was perhaps his only lifeline. The kidnapper was unwilling to give up. 

She and the kidnapper waited for two hours.
