Mommy，We Got a Husband
Chapter 263 He Made Stellan Angry

Alaric and Stellan had been busy with daily tasks, yet Alaric always picked up Stellan promptly in the afternoons.

However, upon arriving at the Reassuring Clinic today, Alaric learned that Stellan had already departed, which greatly surprised him, leading him to rush back to the Knight mansion. When Alaric entered the mansion, he saw Caspian, Harry, and Elisa in the hall, all three of them looking at him with a mischievous glint in their eyes. "Where's your mom?" Alaric asked.

"Upstairs," Caspian answered first.

"Dad, you better be careful. Mom seems to be in a bad mood, and it's definitely not because of us," Harry said.

"Aren't you two still in your honeymoon phase? Why are you already having a tiff? Dad, what did you do to make Mom angry again?" Harry asked.

"I didn't do anything." Alaric suddenly found himself ridiculous, "Why am I even explaining to you? I'm going to find your mom."

With that, Alaric hurried upstairs and carefully pushed open the study door. Stellan was using the computer to look up some information.

"Honey, why did you come back without waiting for me to pick you up today?" Alaric asked, feigning ignorance and concern.

After finishing her research, Stellan opened the news on her phone and showed it to Alaric, asking, "Is what the news says true?" "Yes," Alaric replied.

"Alaric, are you trying to drive me crazy?" Stellan was really angry after seeing the news, "Didn't we agree that after the casino project was over, you would stop working and let me treat you? Now the casino has just opened, and you're already planning to acquire a jewelry company? Are you not going to treat your illness?"

Stellan had been diligently researching a new medication, but failed repeatedly. Josep suggested they couldn't solely rely on unknown research.

She still needed to use conservative methods to treat Alaric's illness. This method was slower and took longer, so Alaric needed to allocate enough time to cooperate with the treatment.

Alaric apologized, "Honey, I'm sorry. The acquisition of the jewelry company was a spur-of-the-moment decision. I didn't plan it beforehand, but it's really necessary. I promise, once the acquisition is successful, I'll delegate the jewelry company and then cooperate with your treatment."

"Can I still believe what you say?" Stellan no longer trusted Alaric's words, "Alaric, can you care a bit more about your health? Since I've known you, you've had two episodes, each more dangerous than the last. If there's a third time, we won't be so lucky."

"I know, I know." Alaric quickly hugged Stellan to comfort her, "I swear, once the acquisition is successful, I'll hand over my work and cooperate with the treatment. If I don't, then let me..."

"Enough, I don't want to hear those words." Stellan interrupted Alaric irritably.

"So, are you not angry anymore?" Alaric asked.

"What do you think?" Stellan was really exasperated, "If I were really angry with you, I'd be driven mad."

Alaric laughed and picked her up, "I knew you were the most understanding."

"Cut it out." Stellan asked irritably, "What's going on? Why do you suddenly want to acquire a jewelry company?"

Alaric explained the situation to Stellan, and she asked in confusion, "Todd, Ambrose's brother?"

"Yes." Alaric replied.

This time, Todd came over, and Alaric also wanted to investigate the Storm family's situation.

As he had analyzed before, he always felt that the Storm family's troubles were connected to the Vale family, but he couldn't find a motive. "You haven't heard of Todd?" Alaric asked.

"No," Stellan answered.

"Ambrose never mentioned him to you?" Alaric continued.

"No," Stellan repeated.

"What about Brennan? Did he ever mention this person or the Vale family to you?" Alaric inquired.

"No." Stellan was puzzled by Alaric's questions, "Why do you keep asking? Should I know this Todd?"

"Of course not. It's just that the Vale family is well-known, and I thought you might have heard of them," Alaric explained.

"No," Stellan still said.

"Alright, if you haven't, then you haven't." Alaric said, "This Todd is a ruthless killer, and I wouldn't let you come into contact with him."

A ruthless killer? If Alaric said so, it must be true, which made Stellan a bit scared.

Alaric's instructions were carried out quickly by Silas, who reported back to Alaric immediately. "Mr. Knight, I've contacted the person in charge over there, but they said the Vale family had already made contact, and Todd will be flying over in the next couple of days. The person in charge is afraid of offending either side and doesn't dare to make a decision."

On one side was the Knight family, and on the other was the Vale family. Both wanted to make the acquisition, and the person in charge didn't dare to offend either, so they could only wait and see who would back down first.

"I figured as much," Alaric said calmly, "I've always said, fair competition, legal and reasonable."

"Yes, Todd will definitely come to see you once he knows about this," Silas said.

"I'll be waiting." Alaric replied.

Hearing a knock on the door, Alaric signaled Silas to leave first. The person who entered was the head of the operations department.

The head lowered his head, looking like he was there to admit his mistake, "Mr. Knight, there was a small accident with the later stage promotion of the casino. We had been in contact with two ambassadors to shoot promotional posters before the casino opened.

But they were busy abroad and postponed it until after the opening. Yesterday, the staff at the studio said everything was ready, but Rowena suddenly refused to shoot. The compensation for the venue is a small matter, but the key is that the advertisement can't be released on time."

Alaric, a perfectionist, grew angry over minor issues, so the operations head feared he might replace ambassadors in a rage.

"If it can't be released on time, then postpone it. It's no big deal," Alaric said.

Hearing this, the head of the operations department was stunned. Since when was Alaric so easygoing?

"In the future, handle these small matters yourself. Don't bother me with everything," Alaric ordered.

"Yes, Mr. Knight," the head replied.

Alaric didn't know why he was so good-tempered this time. Was it just because Rowena shared the same name as Cormac's beloved woman?
