Abraham still treated Stella the same way he did when she was little–every time he went out, he brought back something for her to cat. He still saw her as that snack–loving little girl.
The butler had sent a driver to pick up Rianne.
Stella called her. “Rianne, the driver’s on his way.”
“What? You’re not coming?”
“Abraham won’t let me leave the house.”
She was a great driver–she didn’t get what he was so worried about.
Rianne sighed. “Well, yeah. It’s freezing out here. If I were him, I wouldn’t let you out either. Just wait for me.”
“Mm, okay.”
It really was cold out there.
Stella glanced at the thick blanket of snow outside. She was about to ask Rianne why she’d come all the way over, but Rianne had already hung up.
Outside the gate-
The driver returned to Jonathan’s car. “Security doesn’t even dare report to Ms. Stella that we’re here anymore.”
Jonathan frowned and shot the driver a sharp look.
“She’s not picking up?” he asked, referring to Stella.
None of their calls were getting through to her. The only person who’d answered at Seaflats Cove was the butler.
The driver shook his head. “The butler’s the only one answering the phone.”
He hadn’t heard Stella’s voice once.
Jonathan’s breathing grew heavier. He closed his eyes for a moment, jaw clenched.
They couldn’t get to Stella. And now everything going wrong with the Reed family–everyone was counting on her to say just
one word.
That was all it would take to make everything go away.
Who would’ve thought?
The person they’d all looked down on–the one they dismissed so casually–turned out to be the one with all the power.
But of course. She was the princess of the Luke family.
The Luke family… A name that could still send shivers down anyone’s spine. Back then, they all thought Stella had nothing.
That’s why they all sided with Lilian so easily.
And now…
Jonathan couldn’t help but feel a bitter sense of irony over everything they’d done.
The driver hesitated. “Should we just go back?”
There was clearly no hope of seeing Stella today.
Jonathan’s breath caught. “And what? That’ll solve everything?”

Obviously not.
“But staying here won’t get you an audience with Ms. Stella either.”
She had completely cut them off. Ever since that disownment agreement, they’d barely seen her at all.
Jonathan shut his eyes again.
Just then, another car pulled up beside theirs. The passenger–side window rolled down to reveal Louis’s face.
“Well, well. It really is Jonathan. What, you have to make an appointment now to see your dear sister?”
He bit into the words dear sister and appointment with a thick dose of sarcasm.
Because they’d all accused Stella of playing favorites—but in truth, they’d been the ones to do it first.
Jonathan glared at Louis, his hands clenching into fists.
It was bad enough that Abraham had come after the Reed family with relentless pressure. Now Louis had joined the attack
too.
This was a full–on siege.
