Abraham could easily pick up the implication in her words. He tweaked her eargently. “Ethan is probably looking for a way
Out now.
Stellablinked, “?”
A way out! Does he mean me?
All right. Of course he is!
Ethan already knew that Abraham was the heir to the Luke family and the true owner of Verdant Villa
Of course, he also knewhowbadly he had offended Abraham before.
“So does Judson know about your conflict with Ethan?”
Abraham replied calmly, “Asafather, he should knowwhathisson is up to.”
Great, Judson was probably pushing Ethan hard now

Abel finished the Parker Group report and answered a phone call.
Then he turned to Stella. Rightnow, Eddie was removing her acupuncture needles,andshe was too scared to even look
Abraham lovingly covered her eyes. Even with that, she couldn’t stop whimpering softly.
He reassured her in a low voice,“It’s okay now. It’s over.”
“This is the last time,right? Mmm…
“Don’t even think about it. You’ll need this

Eddie cut inbluntly.
awhole month. With your current condition, that’s at least three times a week.
Stella looked like she was going to cry.
Abrahamgave Eddie a cold stare, clearly telling him toshutup.
Eddie was unmoved. “I’m just telling the truth. She needs to be mentally prepared.”
“Isshe?”
So this is how spoiled she is, huh? What, does he have to coar her every time she has to get an injection?
I trally understood now how hard it was to comfort her, and it was wasting so much time.

No need to ask. It was definitely Susan Carter. She came here to find me? For what purpose?
Could it be that the Reed Group’s situation had been fullyexposed?
Not bad. More efficient than Ethan.
Ethan had been investigating the owner of Verdant Villa for a long time and still came up empty.
But the Reed family had found the root of their crisis in suchashort

He gently ruffled the soft top of her head. “Do you want to see her?”
She shook her head. “No.”
The severance agreement had already been signed, and all of Rivermount knew that I had severed all ties with the Reed family.
Since the relationship had been severed, it had to be clean and final. No need forareunion.
Abraham looked at Abel.
Abel nodded. “Understood.”
He turned and left.
Eddie noticedAbraham’seyes full of doting affection as he looked at Stella. He couldn’t stand to watch any longer and quickly left with his equipment, not wanting to be the third wheel.
Only Abraham and Stella remained in the room. He held her soft little hand gently.
“They bullied youalot, didn’t they?”
“They referred to Ethan and thewholeReed family.
Stella said, “Not exactly.”
Ifit was all one–sided suffering, then yes, it would be bullying.Butthat wasn’t the case for me.
Abraham heard her words,andthe cold in hisexpressionsoftened slightly. Ne lifted her hand and pressed it to his lips.
The warmtouchofhislips fell on herpalm,justasit had when they were young.
Back then, Abraham had loved her small hands. Whenever they played gently, healwayskissed her palms.
Now, when she felt thatkissagain, her whole body heated up.
She instinctively tried to pull her hand back, but he let go before she could.
He tapped her noseandsnapped her out of it
Her cheeks turned even redder
Im not a child anymore, she murmured.
“Mhm. You’ve grown into a young woman.
