Trapped in a Secret Marriage with a Dangerous Billionaire Chapter 81-85

Chapter 81: Striking A Deal
A muscle in Adam’s jaw tightened as he glared at Stella, irritation simmering beneath his gaze. “What sort of nonsense question is that?” His tone cut through the air like a blade.

Stella took a step back, momentarily thrown off by his sudden outburst. She hadn’t expected such a sharp reaction.

“I am the head of this family, Stella,” Adam continued, voice laced with cold authority. “What gives you the right to question my decisions?”

Realizing he was on the edge of a full-blown tirade, Stella stayed silent, enduring his scolding without a word. Only when he finally turned on his heel to leave did she dare breathe again. But just as Adam rounded the corner into the main hallway, he collided with a passing waiter. The tray rattled, and a splash of leftover cocktails and champagne drenched his white shirt.

“Can’t you watch where you’re going?” Adam growled, his face twisting into a scowl as the waiter stumbled back, bowing repeatedly, words of apology spilling out. But the apologies did nothing to quell Adam’s anger.

Seeing the commotion, Stella stepped forward and took in the sight of Adam’s now-stained white shirt, entirely splattered in the vibrant colours of spilt drinks. But before she could step in, Adam glowered at the waiter, his tone venomous. “If you can’t do the simplest part of your job, you’re not needed here.”

Without another word, he fired the waiter on the spot and stormed off, leaving the waiter gaping in shock.
