Chapter 131 Sign It or Shut Up
Stella didn’t really care; she just went on. “Businesspeople will always be businesspeople.”
Even feelings came with strings attached. Still, she had toadmitshe was a little surprised. The Reed family actually cared about Lillian–genuinely. Stella had to give it to Lillian: that took some skill.
Hearing her talked about like that, Susanwascompletely furious.
Any chance of reconciliation instantly collapsed. She snapped, “So unless I sign, you won’t let them come back?”
Her breath was unsteady. She was completely done dealingwithStella.
If signing that paper was the only way to get them back, then fine–she’d do it.
She couldn’t take it anymore. Stella didn’tknowright from wrong.
Let the ties be cut, then. She’d like to see what would happen once Stella severed herself from the Reed family. Would those people still be there for me? Did Stella really think they cared about me?

In the end, she bit her lip, grabbed the pen, and signed the disownment agreement.
The second her pen lifted from thepaper, Stella snatched the agreement away like she was afraid Susan might change her mind.
Just looking at her madeSusan’sbloodboil, but she held it in.
Gritting her teeth and trying to staycalm, she asked, “When are they coming back?”
She had signed,justlike Stella wanted. This should all be over now, right?
But, Stella tucked the papers into the safe and locked it, thenlookedat her with thatblank, almostcluelessexpression. “They?Who do you meant
