Chapter 102 Soaking Wet and Still Clueless 

Ethan glanced at Jonathan, then at the door to the hospital to Just as Jonathan thought than was about to go in and check on Lillian, he turned around instead, his back straight and cold, but his steps a little unsteady 

Clearly, he’d taken a hit or two during the light earlier.. 

Jonathan blinkest “Hal” 

He was just leaving Lillian’s pained groans were still echoing from side the room, and Susan’s soothing voice was trying to calu her down 

Ethan wasn’t even going to check in on her. That was supposes to incan something, but what he couldn’t tell. 

For a moment, Jonathan couldn’t make sense of the situation at all. 

Meanwhile, on Stella’s end 

Abel dropped her off at the Oriental Grand Tower 

As Stella got out of the car, Abel told her, “Mr. Abraham has a few things to take care of today, but he’ll join you for dinner.” 

“Okay, got it.” 

Stella nodded sweetly, then turned and walked ott 

Abel watched her figure disappear before pulling out his phone to call Abrahams. “Mt. Alaham.” 

“You saw Madam Alice? 

Abel replied. “We did, but we also ran into the Reed family and Ethan.” 

At that, the line went dead quiet for a beat. Even over the phone. Abel could sense the chill in Abratum’s mood. 

“Ethan seems to have a lot of free time lately.” 

Abel said, “The entire Reed family’s got too much time on their hands; they’re all orbiting around that wom 

They really were just sitting around–hiring a huge medical team was one thing, but hovering over her every step was something else entirely, 

Ethan, especially, had been personally visiting Lillian at the hospital every single day, 

“Did Star react at all!” 

This time, Abraham’s tone was noticeably colder than before. 

Clearly, he didn’t care whether the Reeds were bored or busy, what he cared about was whether their actions were affecting Stella emotionally 

Abel replied, “Ms Dawson didn’t seem bothered at all. She doesn’t appear to care about any of them” 

The mood on the other end of the call noticeably softened. 

Abraham hummed softly, just one syllable–but Abel could still hear the trace of satisfaction in his tone. 

Abel added, “But Ethan and the Reed family are scheming to kidnap Ms. Dawson” 

The line instantly went icy again 

Not long after Stella arrived at the office. Ethan showed up. 

+8 Pearls 

“How many people can even reach you by phone now?” 

wonds came with heat. Other than him, pretty much no one in the Reed family–or even the Keene family–could get through to her anymore. 

Stella didn’t have much to say in the face of his anger. 

She simply picked up her glass and took a sip of water. “Then just stop calling. It’s not like we need to stay in touch anyway.” 

“Not a necessary relationship? Then, who do you need to stay in touch with? Those men?” 

That phrase “not a necessary relationship hit Ethan right where it hurt. She’d blocked all of us. So who was she counting on now? 

Those meu! 

Just thinking about them darkened Ethan’s expression further. “That man at the hospital earlier–how did he address you? Who are you? Do you work for a club or something? You two just met and aren’t even close?” 

With that address… On the way here, Ethan had been turning it over and over in his head. And he still couldn’t figure out why that man had called Stella that way–unless… 

“You really started this studio with dirty money, didn’t you?” 

One question after another crashed down on Stella like a hailstorm. Ethan’s rage surged so high it blew away any shred of rationality, 

But Stella, perfectly composed, took the glass of water and flung it straight at him. 

The water had cooled down by then. 

When it hit Ethan’s face, that icy splash yanked his mind back from the brink 

Stella stared at him, cold and sharp. “You clear–headed now?” 

If not, she’d go grab a basin and give him a full rinse. 

Ethan glared at her, jaw clenched so tight it trembled; his chest rose and fell rapidly with rage. “You-” 

“A hostess at a nightclub? Ethan, with that brain of yours, I’m starting to think you’ve been sugarcoating everything when it comes to managing the Keene Group” 

Ethan snapped. “What are you trying to say?” 

“I’m saying, with that IQ, other than lying to your parents, what else are you even capable of? You really think you’re running the company properly?”
