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 to admit she 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, Susan was completely 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 dealing with Stella.
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’t know right 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?
They were just using her as a way to get close to the Reed and Keene families. That was all.

Stella said nothing: she just looked at her silently.
Meeting that unshakable look in her eyes, Susan clenched her teeth and nodded. “If this is really what you want, fine. I’ll sign. Happy now!”

When she came crawling back in regret, Susan would deal with her then.
Blinded by fury, Susan completely overlooked the power Stella held behind her cold, controlled exterior.
In the end, she bit her lip, grabbed the pen, and signed the disownment agreement.
The second her pen lifted from the paper, Stella snatched the agreement away like she was afraid Susan might change her mind.
Just looking at her made Susan’s blood boil, but she held it in.
Gritting her teeth and trying to stay calm, she asked, “When are they coming back?”
She had signed, just like Stella wanted. This should all be over now, right?
But, Stella tucked the papers into the safe and locked it, then looked at her with that blank, almost clueless expression. “They? Who do you meant
