Stella knew that if she went to meet Kevin herself, he wouldn't agree. So, she had Jordan go instead.
With the money Jordan offered, Kevin couldn't refuse. Even if he tried, Jordan had countless ways to make him accept.
Kevin said, "Alright, I understand."
After seeing Kevin accept the money, Jordan turned around and left.
On the way back, he transferred a sizable amount of money to Stella using his own account and then deleted the record. When he returned, he acted as if nothing had happened and handed Stella her phone.
They originally planned to stay in this city for five or six days, but ended up leaving after just three days.
Stella suggested that the previous dangers were unlikely to persist and that Jordan should return.
But Jordan insisted that things at the company were currently stable. He couldn't spend the entire year in the office and needed to trust his employees.
Jordan laid out a slew of reasons, making it impossible for Stella to argue. Fortunately, with Jordan's company, they managed to sort out all the suppliers in just half a month.
When they returned to the office, Nola informed Stella that, thanks to their preparations, Lionel had lost the lawsuit, inadvertently giving their supermarket some free publicity.
Nola also engaged some influencers to spread the word that Lionel had been copying the Hayes Group's business model from the start. All his metrics were subpar, and he was under investigation by various departments.
The image of the Quinn family had been steadily declining due to several quality issues, putting him at the center of public scrutiny. With increasingly fewer customers visiting his supermarkets, it seemed like it was only a matter of time before he self-destructed.
This was excellent news for Stella. "It's like they say, you reap what you sow."
Nola glanced over the list of suppliers Stella had secured, her eyes widening in disbelief. "I can't believe we got such great prices. Ms. Hayes, you're amazing."
Stella said, "But we can't set our market prices too low, or other supermarkets will get angry. I'll personally supervise the pricing."
"Got it, I'll get back to work," Nola replied, busy with all the preparations for the grand opening coming up soon.
Once Stella finished her tasks and walked out of the office, she was blocked by Lionel. "Stella, I need to talk to you."
Ignoring him as if he weren't there, Stella tried to walk past.
Lionel stepped in her way again. "Stella, stop! I really have a lot to say to you."
Stella paused, glancing sideways. "What's there to talk about? Lionel, don't tell me everything that happened between us was a misunderstanding. You've said that too many times already; it's getting old."
Lionel replied, "No, I want to talk about Jordan."
"I don't want to hear it," Stella shot back. "I won't listen to anyone talk about my husband, especially not you. How do I know you're not trying to set him up?"
Seeing she was still trying to leave, Lionel took a step back. "Fine, I won't mention your husband. Let's discuss the collaboration instead."
"Collaboration?" Stella looked at him as if he were speaking nonsense.
She continued, "Lionel, your family's reputation is in the gutter, and you're out of cash. You probably lost a lot this time. What could you possibly offer for a partnership?
