Chapter 152 No Room for Misunderstanding
Abel led them into what looked like a modest little teahouse.
But along the way. Louis and Alex both noticed there were quite a few bodyguards hidden in the shadows.
Alex leaned over and whispered, “Did you see what those guys had on their belts?”
Louis asked back, “What do you think it was?”
Alex fell silent
Was that… a gun?
No wonder Ethan lost so badly when dealing with Abraham. Who did they think Abraham was? A man like that wasn’t going to tolerate provocation.
And the fact he hadn’t already blown Ethan’s head off–that was self–restraint.
Under a bamboo grove, next to a humble thatched cottage.
By the time Abel brought Louis over, Abraham was the only one there.
As soon as Louis saw him, he stepped forward respectfully. “Mr. Abraham.
Abraham put down his teacup, raised his eyes slightly, and shot Louis a cold glance.
Alex, standing behind Louis, caught the look in Abraham’s eyes for just a moment–and instantly looked away.
The aura this man had was overwhelming. You couldn’t even look him in the eye.
So this was the brother who raised Stella?
With someone like this backing her, Alex was even more convinced that the Reed family and Ethan were done for.
They were completely insane. They really had no idea who they were messing with
Abraham looked at Louis. “You want Stella to compensate you for something?”
Louis froze.
Alex froze.
The chill in Abraham’s voice sent a shiver through both their chests.
Louis quickly said, “Of course not, Mr. Abraham. I wouldn’t dare ask Ms. Stella to compensate anything”
“I was only concerned that the ring might cause unnecessary misunderstandings. I wanted it back, but if Ms. Stella lost it, that’s that. I just didn’t want you to misunderstand anything”
As if he’d actually make her pay him back–Abraham was already looking unhappy, and this wasn’t even anything serious
If he really did ask Stella for compensation, Abraham would probably eat him alive.
Listening to Louis speak so deferentially, Alex once again felt a shock at Abralsam’s identity.
No wonder he was Fleule’s underground arms dealer.
In all of Rivermount, no one else could make Louis lower his head like this.
yet.

Chapter 152 No Room for Misunderstanding
The weight in Abraham’s voice made Louis’s chest tighten even more.
He quickly said. “Of course not. I absolutely have no such intentions toward Ms. Stella.”
If he did have those kinds of intentions, the next scene would probably be a bloodbath.
There was no way he’d dare.
“Please don’t misunderstand, Mr. Abraham.”
At this point, Louis felt a wave of regret.
Back when the Reed family and that bastard Ethan were treating Stella like dirt, he should’ve stepped in.
+8 Pearls
If he’d known she had someone like this behind her, defending her might’ve at least earned him some favor in Abraham’s
eyes.
But back then, Stella had acted like she had no one at all.
Abraham lit a cigarette, took a drag, then tossed the pack at Louis.
Louis caught it. “Thank you.”
He pulled out a cigarette and lit it. “I know you’re angry, Mr. Abraham, but I really didn’t-
Right as he started to explain, Abraham gave him a cutting look.
Louis immediately swallowed the rest of his words,
Thinking about what Ethan and the Reed family were going through right now, he quickly said, I’ve already locked Sharon up. You have my word–she won’t bother Ms. Stella again.”
He’d seen protective brothers before, but never one like this.
If anyone said Abraham didn’t have feelings for Stella, Louis wouldn’t believe it for a second.
Not that it was any of his business. Right now, he just wanted to make this man happy. Whatever it took.
Abraham gave him another cold look. “You’re sure it’s all taken care of?
“All taken care of. If you still don’t believe me, Mr. Abraham, I’ll have Sharon thrown in jail right now.”
Alex’s mouth twitched. Is this guy serious?
Is that really his own sister?
Abel gave Louis a cold glance as well.
Abraham took another drag on his cigarette, still silent, then looked toward Abel.
Abel immediately understood. He stepped forward. “Mr. Louis, you should head back for now. We’ll be in touch”
“Mr. Abraham-”
“Our master’s already aware”
Louis had more to say, but Abel cut him off.
Louis glanced at Abraham again, trying to read something from his expression.
