Rebirth and Finding the One Truly Loves Me by Christina

Chapter 390 Sterling Disappeared

In the study room.

Ricky looked at Sterling, whose eyebrows were furrowed and face was icy cold, and frowned. “Tell me, why did you decide to cancel the engagement with Becca without consulting me?”

Sterling pursed his cold thin l*ps and spoke in a low, deep, and h oa rse voice. “Becca has someone she likes, and so do I.”

Ricky’s face darkened. “You know, heirs of large families didn’t have the right to choose their own marriages.”

Sterling’s deep narrow eyes were so black that no light could penetrate. The corners of his l*ps curved up with a barely noticeable arc. “That was a rule of the past. When it comes to me, it doesn’t exist.”

His tone was cold, but it exuded madness and arrogance!

The veins on Ricky’s forehead bulged, clearly angered by Sterling’s arrogant tone.

“Sterling. Grandpa didn’t want you to be so willful.”

Sterling leaned his tall, stem b*dy back against the chair, his resolute jaw slightly tensed. “Grandfather, I am different from my father. If I

everything!”

Ricky’s aged hands. placed on the table, clenched into fists, and his eyebrows furrowed so tightly that they could almost crush a fly. “Who is that woman?”

“Grandfather doesn’t need to know who she is for now! But there is something I want to say upfront, if you still want me to take care of everything related to the Howard family, do not cross my bottom line!”

His tone was not a negotiation or a plea, but an uncompromising warning.

Ricky was deeply shaken.

He looked at his young and arrogant grandson, feeling a mix of emotions in his heart.

He was a rare business genius among the younger generation of the Howard family, and he started working in finance while studying abroad, earning his first fortune.

He could make a name for himself without relying on the Howard family; it was just a matter of time.

After returning to the Howard family, he used an iron fist to quell a blo ody internal struggle and swiftly resolved the dispute between his two uncles, who were vying for the inheritance.

The Howard family was originally about to lose their position as the leader of the four major aristocratic families. However, after he returned, he took on several major projects and turned the tide.

The several grandchildren of the second and third branches of the family were far less skilled in business than him in the past. Now, the Howard family is relying on him to continue their development.

He proposed to have the freedom to choose his own marriage, not when he had just returned to the Howard family, but when he had established his own position.

What does this indicate?

He already had enough confidence to compete with him!

Ricky, being old, was drained of a lot of energy and spirit by that internal conflict.

He could no longer afford to spend too much energy contending with the grandson who had already taken control of the Howard Group.

Ricky sighed deeply and said. “You have grown up now, and I can’t control you anymore. If the girl is innocent and without any blemishes. I have no objections! However, now that your mother has returned, you also need her approval. Otherwise, the Ryan family is not so easy to deal with!”

Sterling pursed his thin l*ps tightly, without saying anything more, and stood up from the chair.

When I reached the door, Ricky’s voice came through, “If you have time, bring the other person home and let me have a look.”

Sterling neither agreed nor disagreed. He opened the study door and walked out with long strides.

Due to the possibility of that woman coming back. Sterling always had a suffocating feeling as if he couldn’t breathe.

He unbuttoned the first three buttons of his shirt, rolled up his sleeves, and walked towards his own room.

“Did you finish talking with your grandfather?”

The woman sitting in the wheelchair, holding Zackary’s portrait, entered his room at some point.

Sterling walked in expressionlessly, his dark eyes landing on Zackary’s portrait, and coldly asked. “What are you doing?”

Chapter 390 Sherl

The woman looked at Sterling, who showed no sign of hiding his indifference and coldness. Her eyes gradually filled with a reddish hue, and with a sorrowful and pained expression, she spoke, “We haven’t seen each other for several years, and this is the attitude you have towards me? Your father has passed away, and if it weren’t for you. I would have wanted to go meet the King of Hell with him…”

Sterling’s profile tightened, his black eyes glaring crimson at the woman. “Then go die!”

The woman’s b*dy trembled fiercely.

Tears fell from the eyes, “Do you hate me this much?”

Sterling clenched his fists tightly, exuding a sinister and chilling aura. His gaze towards the woman resembled that of an enraged beast, as if he was ready to pounce and tear her apart. “You pushed me into the abyss. should I still like you?”

The woman looked at his twisted and ferocious pupils and chuckled. softly. “If you want to blame someone, blame your father and that woman. It was they who caused all of this…

The words were not finished, and the slender n*eck was forcefully grabbed by a large hand.

Sterling had lost control, with only images of his childhood being tormented and abused by her haunting his mind. He desperately needed to escape from such pain and darkness, his large hand tightening around the woman’s n*eck, exerting more and more force.

Gianna did not struggle, nor did she utter a sound.

She held a portrait of Zackary, with a faint curve at the corner of her l*ps.

A look that had long seen through life and death.

Chapter 390 Stering 1

After an unknown amount of time had passed, a startled and authoritative voice came. “Sterling, have you gone mad?”

Ricky pushed open the door and saw a scene inside that scared him so much he almost fainted.

If Gianna had been strangled to death by Sterling. Sterling’s life would have been ruined forever! The Howard family would also have been ruined along with it!

The mother and son were both men tally unstable, and when they were provoked, they completely disregarded life and death.

Sterling was forcibly pulled away by Ricky, his eyes filled with a bloodthirsty crimson, and his whole b*dy exuded a chilling and

sinister aura!

Gianna had a red mark on her n*eck, her face pale. She looked at Sterling with cold eyes and h oar sely said, “Mr. Ricky, did you see it? He is sicker than me, he is a monster, a madman…”.

Ricky angrily shouted, “Shut up! Haven’t you provoked him enough? Do you want him to die before you consider him your own son?”

Ricky took two deep breaths and called the butler in, “Take the lady back to her room.”

After the butler pushed Gianna away, Ricky looked at the gloomy and cold Sterling, a hint of pity appeared in his aged eyes. “Sterling, are you okay?”

Sterling’s dark eyes were filled with a terrifying gloom and crimson. He glanced at Ricky, his tall figure swaying, and suddenly rushed past Ricky towards the outside.

“Sterling!”

When Ricky chased after him, Sterling had already reached

downstairs.

In a short while, the sound of the engine driving away came from the garage

The night had already fallen. Sterling drove the Phantom. speeding away like an arrow released from a bow.

The temple throbbed like a needle pr ick, and a voice kept echoing in my mind.

“You were a monster. a lu natic–”

A layer of gloom covered his forehead, and the large hand gripping the steering wheel had all the veins on the back bulging out.

No matter how fast the car was. he couldn’t vent the restlessness and gloom in his heart.

The car was driving too fast and almost hit a small sedan when turning.

The car owner was so scared that his soul sca ttered. He h onked the horn and emitted a long and piercing sound.

Then, the car chased after Sterling.

Sterling screeched to a halt by the side of the road.

The car owner of the sedan angrily approached and smashed the car window, muttering. “If you can’t drive, go back home. Do you think the road is your own?”

The car window slowly rolled down, Sterling glanced sideways and

looked at the man.

The man’s grumbling voice abruptly ceased as he saw the gloom and crimson in Sterling’s eyes.

“You almost crashed into my car. and you still have the nerve to argue?”

Sterling took out a check and handed it to the man expressionlessly.

The man saw the amount on the check, and his heart almost jumped out of his throat.

“It’s okay, take your time to open it. It would be a pity if something bad happened with such good conditions.”

The man hadn’t finished speaking when Phantom had already sped

away.

The next day.

When Audrey woke up. she found an unread message.

Sterling sent it over, thinking that he had sent the location for skiing. However, when she opened it, a hint of disappointment appeared in her

eyes.

I had something to do today, so I couldn’t go.

Audrey glanced at the time the message was sent, it was around five in the morning.

She furrowed her brow and wondered, why did he wake up so early? Did he not sleep all night?

Audrey replied to him: If you’re busy during the day, how about having dinner together tonight?

The information was sent out a long time ago, as if it had sunk into the

sea

Audrey was about to return to Cloud City. Before leaving, she still wanted to meet Sterling.

After waiting for two days without receiving any message from him, she took the initiative to give him a call.

The result indicated that the machine was turned off.

Audrey pouted her l*ps, feeling a slight displeasure.

What’s wrong with him? It’s one thing to stand me up, but why is his phone turned off as well?

“What’s wrong? Why the sighs”?” Hannah came out of the room, pulling her suitcase. Later, she and Audrey would be taking a flight back to Cloud City.

Audrey raised her phone and said. “I couldn’t reach Sterling on the phone. I wonder where he went.”

“Did you go abroad for business or travel?”

Audrey nodded thoughtfully. “It’s possible!”

The two of them packed up their things and left the apartment.

When I reached downstairs and was about to get into the car, Deon got out of a black sedan and said, “Ms. Watson!”

Seeing Deon rushing towards her. Audrey stopped in her tracks, a hint of confusion in her eyes. “Assistant Zhou, what’s the matter?”

Deon has always been steady and calm, rarely showing a look of panic or anxiety on his face.

“Ms. Watson, has the young master contacted you recently?”

Audrey’s heart sk ipped a beat, and a sense of unease slowly rose from within her

“Two days ago, he sent me a message, and these past two days, I have been calling him, but he has been in a switched-oll state!” Audrey stared at Deon intently. “Don’t you know where he went?”

Deon shook his head. “I didn’t go to the company the day before yesterday. I went to the Howard’s house this morning. Mr. Ricky also doesn’t know his whereabouts. I thought maybe you knew, so I came to ask you.”

“I don’t know!” Audrey became a little anxious. “Briana was perfectly fine on the night of her birthday party. We had planned to go skiing the next day, but at 5 am. I received a message from him saying that he couldn’t make it due to some urgent matter.”

“Assistant Zuo, he wouldn’t cancel our appointment for no reason. If it’s not work-related, is there something going on in his family?”

Deon sighed. “His mother came back. “
