The Wrong Girl and the Wronged Girl (Stella and Ethan) novel Chapter 167

Chapter 167 You Raised a Storm, She Raised a Fox

Behind the sprawling estate-

When Stella spotted the bunnies, she couldn’t help scooping one up and hugging it tight.

“Wow. You’re so soft. So fluffy.”

She loved furry little creatures. But she’d never bought a pet in Rivermount–she was always afraid she wouldn’t take care of it properly. The thought of not being able to keep something alive made her hesitate.

Back in Fleule, though, she had a little fox.

Abraham came over. The moment he saw her hugging that bunny, his eyes softened.

“You like how it feels?”

Mhm. So soft. So fuzzy. I love it. Can we take them back to Fleule when we go?”

“Of course.”

Seafiats Cove was peaceful and still.

But elsewhere in Rivermount, things were already falling apart.

Especially for Judson.

After finally getting a number for the Luke heir’s assistant, he called–only to hear one sentence.

“Focus on educating your son

Even Judson was stunned into silence.

Madeline, sitting nearby, was just as confused.

“That’s really what they said?”

“Yeah. Just that. Then they hùng up!

What the hell did that even mean?

She was pissed–but knowing the Luke family held what they needed most, she held her tongue.

Judson’s face was dark. “Call Ethan. Tell him to get his ass back here. Now.”

So that was why the heir kept refusing to meet. Somehow Ethan had already managed to offend him.

If that was true, Judson was going to tear him apart tonight.

Madeline turned to the staff. Call Mr. Ethan. Right now

They needed to get to the bottom of this before contracts were signed tomorrow. If they didn’t fix it by tonight, the Keene Group was screwed.

Even as Ethan’s mother, Madeline was furious.

Meanwhile. Ethan-

Still spinning in circles, trying to figure out how to buy Verdant Villa.

When the call from the family estate came through, his tone was sharp. “Not coming.

“Ethan, don’t act smart with me! Get your ass home,” Madeline snapped.

“Mom-

“You know how bad this’ll be if we mess up the Luke family deal. Get back here.”

Her tone turned cold. “And don’t forget what those ten men outside Lillian’s hospital room are there for. They’re not just for show
