Female NovelChapter 113
When Vincent asked, Christina nodded. “Yeah, I think Meg is really cool. It was her who helped me find the robotic dog that Mr. Jimenez fixed that night.”
Vincent fell silent for a moment. “How did you meet her?”
Christina said. “My robotic dog malfunctioned, veered off the planned route, and got lost. I found it in the backyard based on the location on the remote control.”
Sitting in the passenger seat, Vincent suddenly turned his head. “So you met Megan in the backyard?”
“Yeah,” Christina blinked, “I found the robotic dog and was on my way back when I ran into Megan at the corner.”
Vincent furrowed his brows, “Why was she there?”
“I didn’t ask. She asked me how I ended up there, so I told her about looking for the robotic dog Christina felt he was very serious, like interrogating a suspect, “What’s up, little uncle, any problem?”
Vincent lowered his gaze, “No, just don’t get too involved with her in the future,”
Although Christina was a bit puzzled by his actions, she believed that Uncle Vincent wouldn’t harm her.
She said, “Got it.”
Vincent thought that his previous attitude might have frightened her, so he explained, “Christie, I’m not stopping you from socializing with anyone, but I’m concerned that someone might have ulterior motives. Think about your cousin Olivia; you grew up together, and she didn’t hesitate to go against you. Others are even less trustworthy.”
Christina nodded, “I understand, uncle. Don’t worry
I’ll be cautious.”
After returning to the old mansion, Stephanie first checked the pulse of Ellen and Kevin, then she made desserts with Christina.
Vincent, on the other hand, accompanied Kevin to the study. “That girl, Stephie, really knows how to surprise people”
Vincent nodded, “Mrs. Jimenez really likes those two painted screens. Matthew, to show his gratitude, is planning to collaborate with the Fletcher Group on the project of Triveria Lithium Battery. They are set to sign the contract the day after tomorrow.”
Kevin took out a document. “Even though you and Stephie didn’t have a wedding ceremony, you’re already legally married. I’ve decided to transfer 15% of the Fletcher Group’s shares to Stephie. I know she doesn’t lack money, and I just want to show my sincerity.”
The market value of the Fletcher Group was in the tens of billions, so a 15% stake meant several billion.
This dow
asy lavish, and in aristocratic circles, no daughter-in-law would receive such lavish treatment.
Vincent took the document from Kevin and glanced through it, “Thank you, Dad.”
Kevin nodded, “She deserves it,”
Vincent knew that his father also cherished Stephanie.
Although Stephanie’s reputation wasn’t great before, apart from the main branch of the family, no one in the Fletcher family looked down on her Instead, everyone liked her.
These past two months had also proven Stephanie’s worth, especially at Mrs. Jimenez’s birthday banquet.
Chapter 113
The video recorded by Douglas at Annabelle’s birthday party became crucial evidence to clear Stephanie’s name.
This shut the mouths of those who had previously doubted Stephanie completely.
Stephanie prepared dinner. Kevin and Ellen ate heartily.
Ellen was hinting crazily that Stephanie should stay at the old mansion, but Vincent made an excuse that Stephanie needed to work on some sketches, and he escorted her out.
Christina, however, decided to stay back, planning to chat with Ellen that evening.
On their way back home, Stephanie shared her thoughts with Vincent.
“Do you think Megan is approaching Christie with a purpose?”
Vincent nodded thoughtfully, “Megan is a few years older than Christie, why would she reach out to her without a reason? Megan grew up in the entertainment industry, which can be quite cutthroat, and she has a complex mind from growing up in the Jimenez family. She wouldn’t befriend someone without a good reason, Christie is young and still in high school, so two people with no common interests wouldn’t naturally interact. Megan might have a deliberate motive to get close to Christie, trying to gain something from her. After all that’s happened, we need to be cautious.”
Stephanie agreed with Vincent’s analysis. They couldn’t know for sure why Megan wanted to get close to Christina, but actions reveal true intentions, right?
Staying alert was the best approach.
Upon reaching home, Vincent sat with her on the couch and handed over the share transfer agreement to Stephanie.
Stephanie was shocked as it involved assets worth billions.
Vincent playfully poked her cheek, “Why so surprised?”
“Of course, I’m surprised. This is not a small amount.”
“In my heart, you are priceless.” Vincent took out another agreement from his black briefcase.
Stephanie trembled as she read it, “You. you did this…”
Vincent enveloped her in his arms, “I want to gift you all my personal assets. It’s not an impulsive decision, but one I’ve been contemplating for a while. It will take some time to settle due to the extensive assets,”
Extensive assets?
Like, insanely wealthy?
Stephanie bit her lip, “Vincent, I have money.”
“I know you do, but I want to give it to you. Everything I have is yours. This can also be your protection. In case I ever wrong you, it would be my punishment to lose everything”
Vincent’s words were earnest. Stephanie chuckled, “Then you won’t wrong me, will you?”
Vincent gazed into her eyes. “How could I?”novelbin
“Alright then, I won’t accept… Stephanie said.
Chapter 113
Vincent placed a pen in her hand and made her sign her name on the agreement. “This is my sincerity in marrying you, Stephie. Give me some time, and we’ll have a wedding.”
Stephanie’s lips curved up as she leaned in to kiss his thin lips. “Okay.”
A week flew by, and Stephanie, along with Julianna, arrived at the entertainment company with her sketches, ready to meet with Gideon. They wanted to see if the sketches were suitable for the upcoming movie.
If there were any suggestions or modifications needed, they aimed to make them deliberately.
If everything was suitable, they planned to expedite the production within a week, finishing in just half a month, so as not to delay the film crew’s launch ceremony.
Madeline rushed over after finishing a lipstick ad shoot to join Stephanie.
In the conference room, Gideon and the producer looked at the twenty sketches and praised them.
Gideon remarked, “Truly worthy of being a top designer from Starlight Design Studio. The designs are elegant and stylish, exactly what we need. Let’s go with these. We also need costumes for the supporting roles, about a dozen.”
Stephanie nodded. “As Madeline and I discussed before, I designed the lead roles first. In about a week, we will work diligently to have everything ready.”
The producer nervously asked about the costs, “Would a budget of 2 million dollars be enough?”
Stephanie smiled, “That works.”
Julianna added, “This is a special favor for you all, considering Madeline’s involvement. Stephie has been designing tirelessly day and night this past week, and she will continue to be involved in cutting and sewing for another week. Each dress will require special embroidery and patterns, so don’t think 2 million dollars is too expensive.”
Gideon and the producer hastily assured them that they understood.
Julianna continued, “It’s essential to clarify certain things beforehand to avoid any misunderstandings during our collaboration.”
Madeline agreed, “Yes, some things need to be made clear upfront, so there won’t be any disagreements later on due to prices or other issues.”
Gideon immediately had the contracts brought out, prepared two copies and proceeded to sign them officially.
After signing, Madeline looked at Gideon. “Hasn’t the role of the third female lead been finalized yet?”
Gideon said, “No, the actress who was initially selected had a scandal emerge, so we had to find a replacement. But finding the right fit is proving challenging, so we’re still in the process of casting.”
Madeline inquired, “What about Megan?”
Gideon naturally wanted to give her some respect. “Isn’t taking the role of the third female lead a bit beneath Ms. Jimenez?”
Madeline smiled, “No. She quite likes the character, so she asked me to check with you if you have any suitable candidates in mind. If not, she’d like to give it a shot”
Gideon replied, “We would be delighted to have her!
After signing the contract, Madeline invited Stephanie and Julianna to dinner, and the three of them chatted and laughed.
Someone captured this scene and it spread around.

In the room, Megan watched the three of them laughing and smiling, and found it very glaring

The movie they were shooting was about the Nationalist period, with a lot of gunfights and explosions scenes. Maybe this was a great opportunity!
