Chapter 31 She Has a Man
Abraham reached for his clothesandslippedthemon.
Even though it was over, the tension between Abraham andEthanstill felt like swords drawn and bows bent.
Stella glanced at Ethan. “Get the hell out.”
If he didn’t leave now, he might really die here tonight.Andifheactually died here, that would be seriously unlucky.
Ethan wasalreadyfurious. Now, seeing that Stella wanted him to leave instead of Abraham, the fire in his chestexploded,
“Stella, what the…
Abraham cuthimoff coldly. “Say one more word to insult her, and I swear, you won’t leave here alive.”
Assoonas he finished speaking, the man pulled a gun from the inside of his suit jacket.
He pointed it straight at Ethan. Ethan’s breath hitched, and his pupils shrank sharply.
In a place like Rivermount, this guy actually carries something like that? Has Stellalosthermind?What kind of dangerous man is she involved with!
Abraham spoke again, voice cold as ice. “Doyouwant to give it a try?”
He meant that if Ethansaidone moreword,he’d find out what happens.
Stella had grown up in Falvaria, and no matter where she went, no one had ever daredtalkto her like this.
But now, in this place, these people…
There was more and more danger in Abraham’s eyes.
That danger closed inonEthan like a trap.Ina place like Rivermount, he had never been treated like this before.
He narrowed his eyes and stared rightbackatAbraham.
Abraham said, “Do you want to try?”
Try what? Why don’tyoujustget the helloutalready?” Stella snapped.
She was about to lose it. / Ethan insane? Can’t he see what Abraham is holding? Does he actually want todiehere?
She didn’tlikeEthan, but she hadn’t meant for him to die. It wasn’t like theyhadsome huge blood feud.
Ethan shot her a cold look
Stella, furious,yelled, “Leave! Don’tyouknow how to walk?”
Seeing Ethan frozen in place, Stella kicked him hard.
If he kept standing there, he might just turn into a tombstone in the countryside for the rest of his life
Ehan stormed out of Kingston Heights, his head ringing like a beehive.
Jason had been waiting downstairs the whole time. When he saw Ethan coming down with a facelikestone, and even some bruises, he sucked in a sharp breath “Ms. Dawson still sai
Refusing to get married was one thing but hitting him? That’s something else.
Thinking of Stella’s temper. Jason shivered again

Chapter 31 She Has a Man
Jasonsighed. “Women need sweet–talking”
“Sweet–talking?Ha.
When Ethan said the word “sweet–talking” his voice dripped with sarcasm.
Jason fell silent.
With Stella’s temper, sweet–talking probably wouldn’t work either. Shewaslike a brickwall, nothing got through.
That was how people saw Stella. Not particularly talented, but her temper was something else.
Ethan narrowed his eyes dangerously. “Look into the guy who’s been getting close to her lately. Find out who he is.”
Jason blinked. “What?”
Hearing the word “guy,” Jason looked at Ethan like he’d just said something insane.
Aguy? Ms. Dawson has a man around her?
“That… that’s impossible. Ms. Dawson’s always alone. If anyone’s with her, it’s Ms. Miller.”
In Jason’s words, the nice way to describe Stella was “a homebody.”
To put it less kindly, she was basically a lazy bum who’d rather stay inthango outside.
Finished
She didn’thavemuch ability,ashort temper, and a lot of pride. It seemed impossiblethata woman like her could have a
man.
If it wasn’t for the Reed family, evenEthanwouldn’t have stuck around.
Seeing Jason’s disbelief, the danger onEthan’sface only grew. “I just ran into him. Do you think I’m making this up?”
Jasonwastakenaback. You ran into him? Wait, what?
Ethan’s mind flashed back to Abraham’s cold, dangerous eyes. That face felt familiar, like he’d seen it somewhere before, but couldn’t quite remember where. And thatgunhe pulled out so casually.
“He’sprobablysomeone from the underworld,” Ethan muttered.
He was determined to find out exactly who thatmanwas. He never expected someone like Abraham could be hiding in Rivermount.
Whoever he was, Ethanwasgoing to tear him apart.
That word “underworld” only made Jason more confused.
That didn’t make sense. With Stella’s temper, she shouldn’t be able to connect with people like that.
Downstairs, Ethan stormed out, seething
Upstairs, after all the chaos, any trace of sleep Stella hadwaslong gone.
