Nine Ungrateful Sisters Chapter 890
That worry flickered through Bonnie's mind, then vanished.The Wagner family was simply so powerful that the moment the thought surfaced, some instinct in her refused to dwell on it.Because if the Wagners truly decided to come after her, she would have no way to fight back.Did anyone worry about what might happen if the stars fell from the sky? No. Because all you could do was watch them fall, helpless. You might as well find a comfortable spot and enjoy the view.Bonnie showered and got dressed.A savory aroma drifted in from the kitchen and set her stomach rumbling. "What's smelling so good?"She crept into the kitchen and wrapped her arms around Oscar's waist from behind.Fried eggs sizzled in the iron pan. Though Oscar hadn't used any special tools, he had somehow managed to shape one into a perfect heart."Wow, that smells amazing!" Bonnie's nose twitched as she rested her chin on his shoulder, though a flicker of suspicion crossed her eyes. "You've got some real techniq

A smile tugged unbidden at the corner of Oscar's mouth.Last night had been wonderful.He brushed a strand of hair from Bonnie's forehead. When he saw her lashes flutter, he could not resist leaning down to kiss her."Don't move. It hurts!" Bonnie dodged away and burrowed deeper beneath the blanket.He knew perfectly well that it had been her first time, yet he had shown her no mercy, leaving her entire body sore and exhausted.Still, had she not been just as eager last night? At the height of their passion, they had both given themselves over completely. But perhaps the same was true at the height of sorrow.Only through extreme exertion, through the sheer exhaustion of the body, could a person forget the grief and hardship of living and escape the world for even a little while.Oscar laughed and climbed out of bed, but not before pressing one last kiss to her forehead. "All right, get some more sleep. I'll go make breakfast."Once he was gone, a smile crept onto Bonnie's lips

Once the call ended, anger flared in Isolde. "Does your cousin's boyfriend have ties to the Tetrabourne Gang?"Winnie looked utterly innocent. "What's wrong, Ms. Irenus?"She couldn't make sense of it. Her employer had taken one phone call, Oscar's name had come up partway through, and now Isolde looked ready to explode."What's wrong? That Oscar is relying on the Tetrabourne Gang for backing, and now they're saying he wants to hand us the formula and pit us against the Wagner Group!"We can't afford to offend the Tetrabourne Gang, and we sure as hell can't afford to offend the Wagner Group either!"Tell me, isn't this all your cousin's boyfriend's fault?"Winnie blinked. Of course she knew the Tetrabourne Gang. As a salesperson who was constantly out making deals, she'd crossed paths with plenty of people from outfits like theirs.But as far as she knew, the Tetrabourne Gang ran a security company that handled protection for most of the businesses in Seahampton.Wasn't the Wag

"They wouldn't dare, would they?" Winnie's voice started sharp but quickly lost its edge. "Would they really go that far?""What did you think I meant? Do you think I want to sit back and watch the brand I built with my own hands slowly rot away?" Isolde let out another sigh. "If we pass on the formula, we'll just keep limping along. But if we take it, we could end up dying even faster.""But... the Wagner Group went after that formula through underhanded means in the first place. If we stay quiet now,"if we don't push back and just become another voice in the silent majority, then the next time a good formula comes along, what's to stop them from stealing it the same way again?"Winnie quoted a line she remembered from a book. "Either you explode out of the silence, or you die inside it. Are we really going to stand by and watch the Wagner Group corner the entire market with tactics like these?"Besides, times aren't what they used to be. If we get ahead of them and control the

Isolde had not slept a wink all night.It was maddening. A formula worth 100,000,000 dollars, one that should have belonged to Irenus Beauty by rights, had been snatched out from under them when the Wagner Group swooped in out of nowhere.Now this Oscar claimed he could produce an even better formula, one worth more than the deal they had already lost. The catch was that her company would have to go head-to-head with the Wagner Group to make use of it.The formula tempted her deeply. But go to war with the Wagner Group?She shook her head. Oscar was young. He had no idea what the Wagner Group was truly capable of. On the other hand, she was an old hand in Seahampton and knew exactly how much weight that name carried.Irenus Beauty fell far short of matching them, and Isolde knew the Wagner Group's history far too well to have any desire to cross them.The Wagner Group had not started out as anything resembling a respectable business. They had built their fortune on lending.Back

The old Irene, willful and headstrong as she had been, could always be talked out of whatever she wanted with just a few words. Now, she seemed to have grown up. She no longer needed her sisters to map out her path for her.Giana, for her part, readily sided with Irene. "Bella, if Irene wants to go out on her own, then let her."The family isn't going to stop at Silverton anyway. Silverton, Seahampton, even the entire North Domain. We should have influence everywhere."With the rest of us backing her, Irene striking out on her own isn't a bad choice at all."Bella had no choice but to give her reluctant consent. The deaths of Amara and Clara had shaken her more deeply than anyone else.Back when she had first left to train elsewhere, part of her decision had genuinely come from spite toward Amara. She had resented how Amara seemed to favor Jason, as though ten or twenty years of sisterly bonds meant nothing next to him.But now that Bella had become the eldest, she finally unders

Black storm clouds pressed low over the Percham District.Beneath them, narrow lanes packed tight with men in black jackets and trousers stretched into the distance, cold steel gripped in their hands.Rain struck the blades, and each metallic ring sliced through the night like a warning."Shut th

"That little bastard," Bella snapped as soon as she stepped through the door. "He's gotten real bold."She tossed her umbrella onto the floor and dropped onto the sofa, her cheeks still tight with anger.Amara entered with a cup of coffee, stirring it in slow, steady circles.The other sisters dr

"Miss Bella, you're here!"Unlike Oscar, the Chamberlain sisters lived in the spotlight. They made headlines almost daily. In Silverton, nearly everyone recognized them.Victor hurried to drag over a stool. He wiped it down with his sleeve and offered it to Bella.She glanced at it. Disgust flick

"Victor, we really have no money left!" George dropped to his knees. "We already repaid the 60,000 dollars we borrowed from you. Over the years, it was 6,000 here, 6,000 there. Now it's somehow 600,000? How are we supposed to come up with that?"He pressed his forehead to the floor. "Please. Leave
