Captivation: Want Nothing But You
Chapter 1548

“This sofa has a unique feel to it compared to the others.”

“Mr.

Sullivan hand-picked this sofa.

It’s made of leather.

I heard that a foreign designer was responsible for its one-of-a-kind creation and that it has a price tag of sixty million dollars,” the general manager of the executive department, who was in charge of entertaining Maria, explained with a flattering smile.

It was obvious that he had missed the meaning behind her words.

She did not care that the sofa was made of leather or that it was expensive.

What she wanted to convey was that it did not matter how hard Victor had fought for her son’s position.

In the end, everything still belonged to them, even the sofa.

Victor never had a chance of winning against her son at all.

“Mr.

Sullivan?” Maria scoffed as she looked at the manager.

“There’s only one Mr.

Sullivan here now, and that person is my son, Odin

Sullivan.”

Her piercing gaze caused the manager to break out in a cold sweat.

He immediately nodded and said, “Of course, Mrs.

Sullivan.

Mr.

Sullivan was… I mean

“Can you not mention that bastard on such a fine day?”

There was silence as the manager wiped the sweat off his forehead wordlessly.

In the past, Maria always pretended to be nice to Victor.

It was common knowledge that a woman could never love her stepchild as much as she loved her biological child.

Besides, the Sullivan family was such a rich and powerful family.

In other words, it was simply impossible for Maria to get along with the illegitimate child of her husband.

However, she managed to convince everyone that she could.

When he first heard about Victor’s passing, the manager had thought that Maria would at least put on a sorrowful facade so as to keep up her public persona as a loving stepmother.

He did not expect that

Maria would not even bother to pretend to be sad at all.

Not only that, but the moment Victor’s death was confirmed, she immediately began disrespecting him.

“Mom.” The door was pushed open.

It was Odin returning to his office after a meeting.

He heard Maria’s words, but he did not show it on his face.

Tossing the manager a look, he instructed, “Send word to the media that Victor has passed away.”

“Understood.

I’ll do it right away.” With a nod, the manager left without hesitation.

Maria walked up to Odin and helped him take off his coat.

“You don’t have to announce his death.

That’s just a waste of money.

Just let him die like this.

He was a bastard who didn’t deserve to be recognized by anyone.

If we let people know that he’s dead, they’re just going to say unnecessary things.”

“Didn’t I say that we’d have dinner when I came back? Why are you here?” Odin asked instead of answering her.
