That Stella—she was nothing but trouble.
Just thinking about her made Susan’s blood boil.
“Mom, are you
you going to find Stella?” Lillian asked.
*I am. Be good. I’ll be back soon.”
“Okay. Go ahead”
Lillian looked obedient on the surface, but inside, her hatred for Stella was eating her alive.
Why couldn’t they just drive her out? Why couldn’t they get her to disappear from Rivermount for good?
Not long after Susan left, Lillian’s phone rang again.
It was that man. The same one who kept asking her for money.
“Money, money, money! I don’t have money! I’m barely holding on!” she snapped.
She was already unable to rest because of Stella.
Now this? Were they all just trying to push her to her breaking point?
No. She wasn’t going to die.
They all wanted her gone! Fine–she’d live just to spite them.

Meanwhile, at Pluchville Hill-
Abel and Louis had just finished going over the contract. Two clauses had issues, so they had them revised on the spot.
Louis didn’t hesitate. The moment he heard there were problems, he ordered the changes immediately.
While the corrections were being made, a server walked in and leaned over to whisper in Abel’s ear. “Mr. Abel, Mr. Judson has
arrived.”
Abel frowned and shot a glance at him.
“Have him wait”
Judion had actually come himself? He must be completely fed up with Ethan
And honestly, who could dame him! Ehan hadn’t done a single smart thing in months.
Especially with that linken arm–every elder in the family had been furious just looking at him

Abel found Abraham just as he and Stella were getting out of the hot spring.
Abraham was towel–drying the water from her shoulders, quickly wrapping her in a thick robe.
“Sir, Judson is here,” Abel said as he walked up.
Abraham raised an eyebrow and looked over at him.
Even Stella was a little surprised. For Judson to come in person–it meant he was probably just as disappointed in Ethan as
everyone else.
If Judson was here, Ethan definitely was too.
She wondered what Ethan’s face would look like when he realized Abraham was the heir to the Luke family.
After all, he’d already y met Abraham more th
than once—and remembered him under rather extreme circumstances.
Now, learning Abraham was that man?
Stella looked up at Abraham, eyes full of something unreadable. “Are you going to meet Mr. Judson?”
“Do you want me to?”
“He’s a good man,” she said simply
Of everyone in the Keene family, Stella respected Judson the most. He was a man of principle.
She had heard about his accomplishments in his younger years–and admired him deeply.
Even two years ago, when her engagement to Ethan was mysteriously announced and then called off, it was Judson who had thrown the biggest fit. He’d said Madeline and the Reed family had handled it all wrong
And they had–no one had even asked her what she wanted.
Abraham chuckled softly and ran his hand over the top of her head: “Go on with Eddie.”
The moment be said that, Stella’s stomach dropped.
If he was sending her off with Eddie, she knew what that meant–Eddie was going to treat her
She nervously hooked a finger around Abraha
He smiled: “Scared?”
Stella shook her head “No Go ahead”
But even as she said it, she was terrified
That fear of needles had only gotten worse over the years.
It was the reason that in all her time living in Rivermount, she’d avoided injections entirely–only taking medicine when she
that was grauty afraid–worse than a kid.
Mayte it had wacthing to do with how many shots she had as a child She’d been sickly back then–candy caching

But people who are sickly as kids tend to grow up strong,
If it hadn’t been for the kidnapping, her leg would be fine now.
Abraham’s expression softened. He squeezed her hand gently. “Go on. I’ll catch up.”
Okay
So she wasn’t getting out of it after all.
