How could he possibly break this kind of news to the elders?
While saying that. Abraham began helping her out of her pajamas. Stella’s brain short–circuited. He really just said it like that?
“So, how did Mom take it?”
Mom just went along with it? How? What did she say exactly?
She was clearly panicking, “What exactly was her reaction?
Abraham gently pinched her little face. “Don’t worry, she won’t eat you.”
Abraham’s lips twitched. What does “won’t eat me” mean? Could it be that Mom did not react? That seems unlikely. This is absolutely impossible.
Abraham said, “Let’s go.”
Stella said, “Go where? It’s freezing outside; I don’t feel like going out. And Tessa’s dropping by soon.”
Byer since he arrived in Rivermount, her hours at the studio had become unpredictable. Now that they were about to return to Falvaria, she really wanted to sort things out quickly.
“Ol right, didn’t you say you’d check with the CEO of Sterling Global for me? Did you ask yet?”
Even though she is about to leave, she still wanted to help secure jobs for those who had stuck with her these past two years.
Abraham raised a brow. “You’re heading back to Falvaria, aren’t you? Not planning to close the studio?”
Abraham gently rubbed the top of her soft hair. “Got it.”
“Could you please speak to them for me? Just let them know–even if I’m not continuing, my designers are top–tier. They won’t let anyone down.”
“Alright.”
Abraham chuckled. How did the Reed family miss out on her kindness, driving themselves into a dead end? After spending. time in Rivermount. Abraham could tell that Stella had no intention of holding onto any feelings for the Reed family.
Since Stella refused to go out, Abraham took a call and left by himself. Just yesterday, he had promised to stay by her side without leaving.
However, it wasn’t until Stella was eating that she found out Evie had left. When discussing this, Eddie could only sigh deeply.
Stella grabbed a piece of rib, her voice filled with disbelief. “She left right after getting off the plane?”
Eddie replied with a tone of exhaustion, “Yep.”
Stella responded. “Isn’t this a good thing? You know, if she pisses off my brother, no one can protect her.”
Sometimes, Abraham truly spoils Stella, but when it comes to speaking up for someone, it is not that easy for her. After all, he hates anyone using backdoor connections, even if it is Stella doing it.
“But she went and pissed off your tough sister, Eddie said.
Speaking of which. Eddie could not help but feel a headache coming on.
Stella was confused. “What the?”
A blade to the head whether you move or not–classic
What did she do to offend my sister this time?“”
Eddie replied, “She took Marie’s deal and bailed”
Stella responded, “You’re kidding me?”
LMA
Okay, Evie is seriously bold.
Took the deal, bailed on the job, and ghosted.
Sure, it is better than angering Abraham–but Marie? That is jumping out of the pan into the fire
“Is Evie planning to leave Flavaria for good?”
Stella silently lit a candle for her in her heart. Out of all people to mess up with, she picked Marie? Has she really forgotten how she got wrecked the last time? Honestly, every time those two clashed, it was chaos–but somehow, Evie is always the one who ends up paying the price.

Chapter 269 The Woman was Here to Plead
Eddie said, “Don’t bring it up.”
Talking about her sister, he also thought that she was being crazy this time.
Stella said. “Why does she have to provoke someone else again?”
When she said she brought Marie to Rivermount, they thought that she was determined to stir up trouble in Abraham’s danger zone.
And the plot twist was very surprising.
Anyway, her return to Fleule this time was bound to brew another stonn.
Eddie said, “Yeah, why does she have to provoke someone else again? Wait, do you still treat Abraham as your brother?
Upon hearing him, Stella was left speechless.
She thought, why is this guy always focusing on something so random? Is this what he should be concerned about?
Stella’s expression stiffened as she snapped at him, “You’d better worry about your sister.”
Eddie continued. T’m just asking! Hey, how was Abraham in bed yesterday? What about his stamina? He hasn’t been with a woman in years. His performance in bed should be.
Probably because Eddie’s words were so ridiculous that Stella choked on her water and coughed violently.
It was then that Abraham entered the room and heard Eddie’s words; he had returned to retrieve the stuff he had forgotten.
Plus, he saw Stella choke–his face turned pale.
He stepped forward and landed a kick on Eddie.
Being kicked. Eddie nearly fell from the chair, and when he was about to cuss, he saw Abraham and held back the words.
As he rubbed his sore back, he asked, “Did I say anything wrong again?”
As if losing his memory temporarily, Eddie forgot what he had asked Stella),
Not only did he ask, he even made up a long story about Abraham’s private matters,
In his narrowed eyes, Abraham asked, “You want to know about how I perform in bed? Are you curious?”
Stella had just finished coughing. When she heard his words, she choked on her saliva again.
Having choked twice in a row, her throat hurt.
Her face also turned red
Eddie stammered, “1, this…
Abraham came beside Stella and patted her back gently.
It was then Stella realized what was going on. She wasn’t a pushover. She stared at Eddie and said, “Didn’t I tell you to get the medicine?”
This left both Eddie and Abraham speechless.
Eddie twitched his mouth. He looked at Abraham, then his gaze flicked at Stella.
1/3
Eddie is a blunt guy. He made Stella respond to him with similar bluntness.
Abraham shot an icy stare towards Eddie. Eddie gulped and said, “I’m sorry”
The incident with Evie was not over yet. It’s better not to provoke Abraham.
Eddie read the room well; he left immediately.
Stella reached out and gave Abraham a twist, saying, “This is on you.”
The word got out, and whoever saw her made fun of her.
Abraham hissed out of pain and grabbed her naughty hand.
As Abraham left, he took Eddie with him.
Sometimes he wanted to sew his mouth shut and glue it with superglue.
After lunch, Stella had been waiting for Tessa in the restaurant.
It was warm inside the restaurant; there were three picture windows. Outside, there was a vast expanse of white snow, and branches were covered with icicles.
Clint came to the restaurant and said, “Ms. Dawson.”
Stella replied, “What’s the matter?”
Clint replied. “A woman with the last name Carter wants to meet you at the security room.
Stella thought, Carter? Could it be Susan?
She then asked, “Is it Susan?”
nodded and said. “Yes.”
Stella’s brow furrowed as she thought, Coming at this moment? No doubt, she must be coming for Jonathan. Or you could say she is coming for both Jonathan and Lillian.
Stella then said, “I’m not meeting her.”
She was no longer using that phone. Susan couldn’t get through no matter how many phones she borrowed.
Since she changed her number yesterday, she has only told Kimmy and Tessa
And these two would never give her number to the Reed family.
Clint said, “Understood.”
Upon hearing her refuse to meet, Clint was about to call the security officer.
But when he had just made the call, Stella’s phone rang; it was from Tessa
Stella picked up the phone and heard Tessa say, “Stella, Susan is kneeling in front of my car.”
Stella was flabbergasted.
Upon hearing her, she glanced at Clint
Tessa continued, “She is crying and yelling. Damn, she used to say that you were brought up in the countryside and that you were aggressive. Now it seems like she is the aggressive one.”
Chapter 270 The Rebuttal Hit Her Hard
The sound of her screaming at the top of her lungs was pretty awful.
Stella narrowed her eyes and said, “Bring her in then.”
Tessa replied, “Alright.”
Before Tessa hung up the call, Stella could still hear her saying to Susan in a scornful tone, “Seeing your daughter under such conditions, only a mother like you gets to enjoy such privilege. If I were to comment, I’d say, You deserve all this
Other families were about motherly affection and filial love.
The Reed family lost Stella, and they should be cherishing her now that they have found her again.
But instead, this woman, as a mother, was in such a disagreement with her daughter.
If you were to say she didn’t know how to act as a mother, she was quite a lovely mother for Jonathan and Lillian.
A while later, both Tessa and Kimmy had arrived, and Susan was coming along with them.
Stella glanced at Tessa and Kimmy and said, “Give me a moment.”
Tessa nodded and said, “Alright.”
Clint had the servants bring them over to the conservatory while he stayed.
Before leaving, Abraham had mentioned if Stella were to meet the Reed family, he must be present.
It couldn’t be denied that Abraham was right. The Reed family would try and meet Stella by all means.
Given the current situation, the Reed family never reflects on their mistakes. They instead become desperate.
Jonathan was injured yesterday, and Susan appeared to have aged.
Stella picked up the teacup before her and took a sip without sparing Susan a single glance.
Susan was sitting right opposite her. When she saw Stella behaving like that, she was enraged inside.
Unable to tolerate this oppressive aura, she spoke first, “I know what happened.”
Stella replied, “Oh So what?”
Her indifferent response further ignited the flame of rage within Susan.
She spoke again, her tone gritted with anger, “No matter how wrong he is, he is your biological older brother. How could you let an outsider hurt him like that? Do you know that one of his arms is completely useless and has no chance of regaining strength?”
Speaking of this, Susan could barely contain her anger.
Even though she kept reminding herself to speak to her nicely on her way here.
Now that Lillian was in urgent need of medical resources, Jonathan was injured, the company turned out like that, and she had gotten into an unresolved conflict with Patrick.
And the one who caused all this was Stella.
So no matter what, she had to speak to her nicely. She was the one who could put an end to all these conflicts.
But when she saw Stella’s indifferent face, she could no longer suppress her anger.
1/2
The drink in the teacup spilled from the violent shake
Stella cast an icy stare towards her and said. “Is Madam Susan here to lecture me or to question me?”
Her tone was as cold as her gaze.
Susan’s pent–up feelings finally exploded as she roared, “Stella, tell me. What else do you want?
Stella’s silence alone made her unable to contain her anger.
Now when she spoke, she grew angrier,
With a cold gaze, she scoffed.
Without wasting time talking nonsense with Susan, Stella looked at Clint and said, “Arrange for Jonathan to be discharged from the hospital.”
Clint nodded and replied, “Understood.”
Susan, her breath trembling, shot to her feet and said, “Are, are you out of your mind? He’s your biological older brother. You’ve pushed Lillian up to this point; now you are treating your brother like this?”
Susan trembled in anger.
Stella raised her eyelids, looked at her, and said. “Has Madam Susan forgotten? There’s nothing between us anymore.”
Susan was left speechless; her face turned pale again
She then said, “You, you..”
Stella picked up the teapot and took a small teacup as she refilled it..
She said nonchalantly, “Don’t you all love to oppress others with your authority?”
Like how they treated her earlier.
They couldn’t wait to push her into the swamp and even take her life.
Stella said, “You all have been using this method to oppress others, haven’t you?”
The Keene family had a strong foundation at Rivermount, and given the character of the Reed family, it was obvious that they had been domineering there for years, with the Keene family supporting them.
Especially Susan, her reputation in the rich women’s circle wasn’t worth mentioning.
Susan, breathing heavily, said, “You, you can’t do that. You’ve already caused Lillian to not receive her proper treatment. Don’t tell me you want…”
Lillian said, “I advise you to take back the word, biological older brother.”
Stella looked at her coldly; her gaze was as sharp as ever.
Before Susan could finish her sentence, she was interrupted by Stella’s stern voice.
