She thought of him as her great benefactor. 

But at that moment, Hugo nodded respectfully at Stella. “Ms. Quinn.” 

Then he turned to Ronald. “Mr. Quinn” 

Ronald gently placed Stella from his arms onto a nearby chair, casting a disinterested glance at Hugo. “Ban the Warner family. They’re not welcome at this mall anymore.” 

Upon hearing that, Hugo instinctively glanced at Stella. 

He had already been on his way when he heard Ronald was visiting the mall. Before this, he had received word that Vivian, the Warner family heiress, had gotten into a scuffle with Stella. 

Vivian fought with Ms. Quinn in this place, huh? 

Hugo understood it was Ronald’s way of expressing his anger over the incident with Stella. 

Hugo nodded. “Understood.” 

Upon hearing this, Stella immediately protested, “Wait a second.” 

How could they bar the Warner family from the mall? It was the fanciest luxury mall in Portis City. People usually couldn’t leave without dropping a hefty sum. 

Despite her seemingly good relationship with Ursula, Vivian had silently competed with her. If Ursula flaunted a $10,000 necklace, Vivian would show up the following day with a $20,000 one. If Ursula carried a $20,000 bag, Vivian would have a $50,000 one within a week. 

In a word, she was undoubtedly a big spender! 

Ronald and Hugo both looked at Stella. 

Stella, clutching her oversized milkshake, walked over to Hugo. “Not only should you let her in, but you should also have the top sales associate greet her.” 

How could she miss out on such a lucrative customer? That was no foresight. 

Hugo was speechless. 

Finley was astonished. She’s already plotting how to milk that Vivian for all she’s worth, isn’t she? 

Ronald gave Stella an indulgent look. “But she only spends…” 

“We need to think bigger.” Stella interrupted Ronald, knowing exactly what he was about to say. 

She turned back to Hugo again. “Not only should the best sales associate greet her, but every store should call her once a week.” 

Top salespeople knew exactly how to spark a person’s desire to purchase, especially someone like Vivian, who loved to flaunt her wealth. 

Every luxury store’s top associates meticulously kept track of their clients‘ preferences. There were plenty of ways to encourage Vivian to spend. 

Finley’s lips twitched. “Stella, are you sure she’ll still have money left to spend here?” 

After today’s incident, things had already escalated. Finley doubted Ronald would let the Warner family off so easily. 

Stella glanced at Ronald, who pulled her back into his embrace and said “We’ll do as you say. Think big.” Stella smiled. 

Finley watched the two exchange a knowing smile, feeling that things were far from simple, especially with

Ronald’s scheming nature, and Stella’s talk of “thinking big.” 

Was it really about foresight? 

For Vivian, it seemed more like a financial trap. 

Ronald and Hugo headed to the study, with Finley trailing behind. He saw Stella still holding a milkshake cup as large as her face. 

He instinctively commented, “You should cut back on those.” 

Stella looked puzzled. 

“What?” She gave Finley a confused glance, clearly not understanding what he meant. 

Finley brushed off the topic and leaned closer to Stella. “So today, between you and Vivian, who hit who?” 

Stella raised an eyebrow. “Are you taking sides?” 

Finley was stunned. “Taking sides? Taking sides for whom?” 

He suddenly realized, “Don’t say that. I’m not taking Vivian’s side.” 

They’d only been on a blind date. Ronald nearly ripped him apart over it in the car earlier. How could he dare take sides? 

“Be honest,” Finley insisted. 

Stella gave him a look as if he were an idiot. “What do you think?” 

“I think you definitely gave her a good smack.” 

Stella just huffed and stayed silent. Her lack of response made it crystal clear to Finley.
