Chapter 457 The Falls of the Reeds
That made Jonathan feel even more suffocated
Stella said. “Our blood bond, her role as my birth mother–those were things you all gave up on. Words spoken are like spit. What. Mr. Jonathan, do you want to lick it back up from the ground? Can you even lick it back?”
Obviously not.
Jonathan was stunned.
So I really can’t take it back… then what?
Before he could say anything else, Stella turned and walked toward Abraham.
The man reached out with his broad palm, and Stella placed her hand in his
At that moment, Abraham wrapped his hand around hers. It was such a simple gesture.
But even that was enough for Jonathan to see just how much Abraham cherished her.
She really is a treasure in Abrahaur’s band…
So, someone the Reed family had once dismissed like dirt is now a treasure in the Luke family!
But what made Stella so special?
Why would the Luke family treat her like gold? The famous Mr. Abraham of Falvaria….
How could he have spoiled her this much?
Lately, his suppression of the Reed family had been ruthless, with zero bottom line.
By the time Jonathan came to his senses, Stella had already walked away. He wanted to chase after her, but she was nowhere in sight.
Argh
Furious, Jonathan slapped himself across the face–twice.
Thinking about how heartless Stella had been, and how cold she’d acted toward the Reed family….
He felt like he was going insane.
And now? What am I supposed to do with the mess the Reed family had become? Is this really going to be the end of it?
No matter what I tried these days, nothing worked.
Those who used to be close allies of the Reed family now hung up the phone the second they saw my name pop up.
The Reed family had became nothing more than a rat in the street, everyone avoided us like the plague.
Jonathan stood there in a fury for a long time, still wanting to find Stella, but she was gone.
Someone bumped into him as they passed by, knocking him to the ground. With nowhere to vent his rage. he exploded at once, screaming at the person. “Are you blind? Watch where you’re going! If you’re blind, dig your damn eyes out. What use are they?”
Only then did he realize–it was a child who had bumped into him.
The kid’s parents were not having it. They beat him up on the spot.
Whale throwing punches, they shouted, “What kind of person are you? Talking to a child like that?”

ith fists and The fire in Jonathan that hadn’t yet been fully unleashed was now met with fists and completely extinguished.
In the end, he didn’t even know how he dragged his battered body back to the Reed mansion.
+5 Free Coins
Because salaries hadn’t been paid, two maids had already quit after being angered by Lillian. Even the butler had left.
The only one left was Lily in the kitchen, who was still hanging on in hopes of eventually getting paid.
But even she didn’t bother putting on a good attitude for Jonathan or Lillian.
After all, nothing pissed off a worker more than delayed wages.
When Lily saw him come back all bruised and battered, she didn’t ask a single question. She just turned her face away coldly.
Her attitude couldn’t have been more cold.
Seeing even the cook daring to throw shade at him, Jonathan was furing. “Get out! If you’re gonna work, do it properly. If not, then leave! Who do you think you’re showing that face to?”
This kind of humiliation–I’d never experienced anything like it back when the Reed family was thriving
Now look at the mess they were i
Lily snorted coldly and said, “Once I get paid, I’m out.”
What, he thought this place was worth staying in?
