Finished
Abraham could easily pick up the implication in her words. He tweaked her ear gently. “Ethan is probably looking for a way
Out now.
Stella blinked, “?”
A way out! Does he mean me?
All right. Of course he is!
Ethan already knew that Abraham was the heir to the Luke family and the true owner of Verdant Villa
Of course, he also knew how badly he had offended Abraham before.
“So does Judson know about your conflict with Ethan?”
Abraham replied calmly, “As a father, he should know what his son is up to.”
Great, Judson was probably pushing Ethan hard now
ow to clean up the mess
Abel finished the Parker Group report and answered a phone call.
Then he turned to Stella. Right now, Eddie was removing her acupuncture needles, and she was too scared to even look
Abraham lovingly covered her eyes. Even with that, she couldn’t stop whimpering softly.
He reassured her in a low voice, “It’s okay now. It’s over.”
“This is the last time, right? Mmm…
“Don’t even think about it. You’ll need this
this for a whole
Eddie cut in bluntly.
a whole month. With your current condition, that’s at least three times a week.
Stella looked like she was going to cry.
Abraham gave Eddie a cold stare, clearly telling him to shut up.
Eddie was unmoved. “I’m just telling the truth. She needs to be mentally prepared.”
“Is she?”
So this is how spoiled she is, huh? What, does he have to coar her every time she has to get an injection?
I trally understood now how hard it was to comfort her, and it was wasting so much time.
Might as well let her prepare for it beforehand
The needles were out now
Eddie grumpily packed up his things.
Abel stepped forward “Mi Dawson, a woman whose last name is Carter is here. She says she wants to see you‘

No need to ask. It was definitely Susan Carter. She came here to find me? For what purpose?
Could it be that the Reed Group’s situation had been fully exposed?
Not bad. More efficient than Ethan.
Ethan had been investigating the owner of Verdant Villa for a long time and still came up empty.
But the Reed family had found the root of their crisis in such a short
+ time.
Stella and Abraham exchanged glances.

He gently ruffled the soft top of her head. “Do you want to see her?”
She shook her head. “No.”
The severance agreement had already been signed, and all of Rivermount knew that I had severed all ties with the Reed family.
Since the relationship had been severed, it had to be clean and final. No need for a reunion.
Abraham looked at Abel.
Abel nodded. “Understood.”
He turned and left.
Eddie noticed Abraham’s eyes full of doting affection as he looked at Stella. He couldn’t stand to watch any longer and quickly left with his equipment, not wanting to be the third wheel.
Only Abraham and Stella remained in the room. He held her soft little hand gently.
“They bullied you a lot, didn’t they?”
“They referred to Ethan and the whole Reed family.
Stella said, “Not exactly.”
If it was all one–sided suffering, then yes, it would be bullying. But that wasn’t the case for me.
Abraham heard her words, and the cold in his expression softened slightly. Ne lifted her hand and pressed it to his lips.
The warm touch of his lips fell on her palm, just as it had when they were young.
Back then, Abraham had loved her small hands. Whenever they played gently, he always kissed her palms.
Now, when she felt that kiss again, her whole body heated up.
She instinctively tried to pull her hand back, but he let go before she could.
He tapped her nose and snapped her out of it
Her cheeks turned even redder
Im not a child anymore, she murmured.
“Mhm. You’ve grown into a young woman.
