Chapter 187 Stirring the Pot
“She’s Lillian’s best friend,” Stella said plainly.
At that, the corner of Eddie’s mouth twitched. That explained a lot.
No wonder Lillian kept targeting Stella–clearly afraid Stella would threaten her place in the Reed family.
With that kind of mindset, she’d definitely badmouth Stella to anyone who’d listen. Anyone connected to her would be predisposed to hate Stella.
She’d already brainwashed the Reed parents into that kind of thinking–what was one best friend in comparison!
“If I’d known she was close with Lillian, I’d have passed on that blind date,” Eddie muttered.
Getting on Abraham’s bad side? Not worth it
oing to meet him?”
He glanced at Abraham. “Mr. Louis is here. You’re not going
“Abel is handling it.”
“Oh.”
So he’d come here just to bring Stella to the hot springs?
Then it hit him–Abraham had asked him to bring some medical equipment. Eddie turned to Stella. “You haven’t been keeping up with treatment these past two years, have you?”
Stella gave a small nod.
Knew it
This girl was terrified of needles. Besides Abraham, no one else could make her listen.
Back on Jasmine’s side.
Still fuming, she called Lillian and launched straight into a rant
“I was this close to getting Eddie for you, and that b*tch Stella ruined everything!”
She was furious.
Stella–the Reed family’s own flesh and blood, yet nobody there liked her. And still, there were people out here protecting
her?
Lillian’s face fell as she listened to Jasmine recount how they ran into each other at Pluchville Hill.
She had wanted to visit the hot springs too.
Every winter, the entire Reed family used to go to Pluchville Hill together. But this year, she hadn’t gone at all.
Just as Jasmine was about to say more, she suddenly exclaimed, “Wait–is that Ethan? What’s he doing here?”
Lillian’s voice sharpened. “Ethan’s at Pluehville Hill?”
“Yeah. I just saw him. Don’t tell me be followed Stella here?”

sly she is. She nearly married Ethan once, remember?”
Finished
“And that guy who was just shielding her? And Eddie, too? She’s got it out for you. You better be careful she’s not trying to string Ethan along too.”
The more she thought about Eddie, the angrier she got.
Stella already had a man at her side, and Eddie still chased after her like a puppy.
Lillian’s expression twisted. Her lips trembled before she forced out three words through clenched teeth. “Got it.”
And without another word, she hung up.
Her fingers tightened around her phone. Her breathing was unsteady.
She couldn’t take it anymore–she dialed Ethan’s number.
It rang a few times, then–he hung up.
Lillian’s brows furrowed.
He rejected her call?
Was Jasmine right? Did he really go to Pluckville Hill for Stella? He still couldn’t let her got
Her eyes grew cold. She clenched her jaw and redialed.
It was declined again.
Her rage spiked. She called again.
Back at Pluchville Hill-
Ethan was already frustrated after his run–in with Stella.
He still hadn’t been able to locate the Luke family heir. Time was ticking.
And now Lillian kept calling over and over. He was running out of patience.
When he finally picked up, he forced a calm tone. “Lillian.”
“Ethan, where are you?”
“I’ve got something going on. I’ll call you back later,” he said, ready to hang up.
But before he could, Lillian spoke again.
“You’re at Pluchville Hill, aren’t you?”
Ethan went silent.
His grip on the phone tightened. “So what if I am?”
“What kind of business needs to be handled at Pluehville Hill?”
Hasn’t business usually done at the office! Even if it was about networking, did it really involve hot springs

“You went there to see her, didn’t you?”
She remembered Jasmine mentioning a man protecting Stella, and now Ethan was there too?
Why was Stella everywhere? What did all these men even see in her?
