Chapter 175 I’m Not the One You Should Be Afraid Of
Stella glanced at the men posted at the door, then looked straight at Lillian.
“You think too highly of yourself”
I said something to the Keene family? Please
“You seriously believe I’d care about Ethan or the Keene family just because you do?”
“You-
Lillian’s breath caught.
Meeting Stella’s eyes, she bit down and snapped, “If it wasn’t you, then who?”
Susan’s expression darkened with fury
Sure, the Keene family had already started distancing themselves from Lillian. But now these men–these were Judson’s people. Judson, who rarely interfered in the affairs of the younger generation.
If he’d stepped in like this, it could only mean Stella had stirred everything up behind the scenes.
And after she’d turned the disownment into a full–blown scandal, Rivermount had been laughing at them nonstop. Susan could barely breathe thinking about it.
She stared at Stella, her voice trembling. “What did you tell the Keene family? Are you still not over Ethan?”
Stella didn’t reply.
Abel didn’t either.
Both of them just looked at her like she’d lost her mind.
Especially Abel–he looked at Susan and Lillian as if they were completely brain–dead.
Miss Stella, still hung up on Ethant You’ve got to be kidding.
Where were these people even getting this stuff?
Lillian stepped forward and tugged at Stella’s sleeve. “I know you blame me. You think I ruined things between you and
Ethan, but-
“Get your hand off me”
Before she could finish, Stella shook her off, expression filled with disgust.
She looked down at the part of her sleeve Lillian had touched, like it was contaminated.
Lallan lost her balaner and but the floor with a painful yelp.
Susan sucked “Ah–r
she rushed to help her up. The doctor had warned them–no falls. Lillian’s body couldn’t take it
face had gone ghost white

Finished
If hat the hell as this mout
Lillian didn’t still care about Ethan? Or the Reed family!
Then what was she performing for?
They were done. The engagement was over. The family ties were cut. What more did she want?
Arms crossed, Stella looked down at her. “Unless you want me to slap you, I’d cut the act,”
Susan looked up at her, face twisted with rage. “Get out. Get out of Rivermount!“.
There had never been a moment she regretted more than the one where she’d brought Stella back into their lives.
She grabbed her phone and called Jonathan.
He picked up quickly, his voice exhausted. “Mom?”

I don’t care how you do it. I want Stella gone. Out of Rivermount. I don’t ever want to see her again.”“
Stella stood still
So that’s what this isð
That whole scene Lillian just pulled–was to get her kicked out of the city?
She thought back to the ten thousand Dollars she’d asked Abel to trace. It had to be tied to this. The plan to drive her out of Rivermount clearly had layers
Jonathan sighed. “What now?”
The company was already a mess. They’d pulled an all–nighter in meetings. Just hearing Stella’s name made his head hurt.
Susan’s voice went sharp. “If she stays in Rivermount, Lillian’s going to die. She’ll kill her!”
Jonathan rubbed his temples
“What did she even do this time? Didn’t she already cut ties with us?”
Susan snapped. “I don’t care. Just get her out of here.”
Right now, Susan only wanted Stella gone. No contact. No connection. Nothing.
Jonathan was getting irritated.
He remembered how badly the last attempt to shut down Stella’s studio had gone. He wasn’t about to poke that hornet’s nest
He’d seen for himself–Stella had someone powerful behind her
“Did you hear me
When Jonathan didn’t answer. Susan’s sole rose again. “Do you seriously want to just stand there and let Lillian die?”
