Chapter 100 Soft Voice Hard Exit
Hearing Ethan’s cold tone toward Stella, Abel tilted his head slightly and asked her, “Want me to hit him?”
Ethan was stunned. It him?that the heck did that mean? He’d just attacked Jonathan is he planning to take a swing at me now?
Rage surged straight to the top of Eilian’s skull,
“Stella” he growled through clenched teeth, glaring at her.
The atmosphere had reached a dangerous boiling point.
Stella’s eyes landed on Ethan’s slightly bruised face, then drifted to the cast on his wrist.
“Better not,” she said. “He’s taken enough beatings these past two days.”
The moment she said it, Ethan’s mind buzzed with humiliation.
Abel nodded, then turned to Stella. “Let’s go see Madam Alice.”
“Okay”

With long, confident strides, Stella walked past Jonathan and Susan with Abel beside her.
Ethan watched her go, his gaze colder than ever.
“Stella, stop right there!” Susan finally snapped, unable to hold it in anymore.
Especially seeing Jonathan still sprawled on the ground, unable to get up–she was losing it.
st two years, nothing about Stella had ever gone their way.

And now, watching Jonathan like this, her fury boiled so hot she could barely breathe.
Stella paused and looked back. “What?”
“Get Rianne and Eddie to come back. Whatever you want, I’ll agree to it.”
“Madam Susan really is flexible–knows exactly when to be hard, when to be soft.
She was her biological mother.
Just moments ago, she’d threatened to kidnap her own daughter, and now her whole attitude had flipped.
Stella had seen plenty of shameless people over the years, but Susan was a whole new level.
Meeting Stella’s mocking eyes, Susan felt like she couldn’t breathe.
But what choice did she have…
Lillian’s condition was critical.
“I’m sorry… I’m sorry… It’s all my fault…”

Every apology was for Lillian.
Stella said, “Yeah, you were wrong. My lawyer will contact you. Whatever he gives you–just sign it.”

Susan nodded, her voice tight. “We don’t have a choice right now.”
No matter what, the doctors had to come back first
On the way to see Alice, Abel kept glancing at Stella.
Stella said “Just ask whatever it is you want to ask
