Chapter 229 A Debt They Cannot Repay

The only choice left was to take Stella back and start treatments with acupuncture. In this snowy weather, the mountain was far too cold.

Abraham said coolly, “Got it.”

“Make sure you apply that ointment for her too,” Eddie reminded.

“Oh, and by the way.” Eddie added, Patrick came by again this morning”

Abraham’s gaze turned sharp. “Didn’t he leave last night?”

“He did. But he came back first thing, been pestering Abel nonstop trying to see you.”

JAbraham’s eyes narrowed dangerously

The fact that Abel hadn’t even bothered relaying the message told him everything – Abel knew he wouldn’t want to see

Patrick.

Eddie clicked his tongue. “Parents, huh? Guess the Reed family’s got lard for brains. That Lilian – when she was in Fleule, she dated four or five boyfriends in just two years. And Ethan still thought she was some treasure.”

Abraham shot him a cold look

“You enjoy gossiping?” he said flatly.

Eddie quickly backed down. “Nah, just making sure you know the full picture.”

Fine, Eddie thought. Other women’s business, Abraham couldn’t care less. But this still kinda involved Stella

Not wanting to waste another second on Eddie, Abraham turned and walked upstairs, the chill around him thickening.

Eddie watched him go and couldn’t help clicking his tongue again..

Finally got a taste of the forbidden fruit and immediately put under house arrest… yeah, he’s gotta be thrilled.

Meanwhile, Patrick had returned to the company at dawn, only to discover the situation had gotten even worse overnight.

Panic completely overtook him..

Without wasting a second, he rushed back to Pluchville Hill.

Abel’s voice was icy as he said, “Mr. Patrick, your persistence is meaningless.”

Patrick was desperate.

He had managed to figure out which building Stella and Abraham were staying in only to find it surrounded by bodyguards

He tried calling Stella’s number, but she had already blocked him.

Patrick, who once would have scoffed at the idea that Stella could shake the mighty Reed Group, was now feeling the cold.

truth settle in.

“Sir, please I’m begging you, just this once,” he pleaded.

Π

last another week.

Abel looked down at the envelope in his hand, his expression darkening.

“Do you know what Mr. Abraham hates most, Mr. Patrick?” he said coldly.

“W–what?” Patrick stammered, completely missing the warning in Abel’s tone.

Abel sneered, “He hates bribery. He despises anyone trying to use back doors.”

If you blocked the main road yourself, don’t expect there to be a side path left.

Patrick paled. T–this-”

Before he could fumble for an excuse. his phone rang.

Susan’s name flashed on the screen.

Seeing her name only deepened Patrick’s fury, especially with Abel glaring at him.

He almost hung up immediately, but Abel had already turned and walked away.

Gritting his teeth, Patrick answered the call. “What do you want?!

At this point, he had no patience left for Susan.

Susan’s voice came frantically through the phone: “Stella… Stella grew up with the Luke family.”

Patrick froze. “What?”

“She’s Abraham’s sister,” Susan insisted. “Just like Lilian and Jonathan.”

Patrick was speechless.

Silence fell on the line..
