Chapter 226 The Truth Revealed
The moment Ethan thought about Stella and Mr. Abraham of the Luke family, his brows knitted together tightly.
Before he could speak. Lilian, nestled in his arms, said, “So Stella sold herself to the Luke family just to crush me? If that’s the case, even if I leave the Reed family, she didn’t need to degrade herself like that.
Susan’s face darkened instantly. “Lilian,” she snapped.

Her anger toward Stella only grew fiercer
Raised in the countryside, after all–willing to do anything for money and power.
But for some reason, hearing Lilian say that made Ethan extremely uncomfortable, even resistant.
Lilian didn’t notice the shift in Ethan’s mood.
She continued, choking back tears, “Mom, she’s your biological daughter. I don’t want to see her ruin herself because of me 1
Her voice broke..
That one mention of “biological daughter” made Susan’s heart pound with rage.
She wanted to say she had already severed ties with Stella- but she held back.
Because right now, according to Patrick, the entire company’s fate was still in Stella’s hands.
Lilian sobbed uncontrollably. “I always treated her like a sister. I never wanted her to end up like this.”
Enough, Ethan finally cut her off.
His temples were pounding.
Lilian and Susan both turned to look at him, confused by his sudden harsh tone.
Ethan’s chest felt tight and suffocating. “Stella grew up in the Luke family.”
Both Lilian and Susan’froze.
Susan’s breath caught. “What… what do you mean?”
What do you mean she grew up in the Luke family!
Lilian blinked, confused. “Yeah, Ethan, what are you talking about?”
The Luke family
Fleule’s Luke family? The one everyone fears?
Ethan closed his eyes.
Even now, just thinking about it made his body stiffen uncontrollably.
“Stella is Abraham Luke’s sister.”
Silence
Abraham Luke.
Abrahamt
“Abraham Luke – Mr. Abraham?” Lilian gasped, her breathing rapid.
Her pupils contracted violently,
Stella… is the sister of the legendary Mr. Abraham?!
Lilian couldn’t stop herself from sucking in sharp breaths.
Raised in the Luke family… the heir to the Luke family. Mr. Abraham’s sister….
She and Susan locked eyes.
Susan’s breathing practically stopped.
Lilian lifted her head and said hoarsely, “Ethan… are you sure?”
Inside, Lilian’s heart was a storm of turmoil, roiling with jealousy.
She didn’t want to believe it- she refused to believe Stella had grown up in the Luke family!
Ethan’s breath grew colder.
“Absolutely sure.”
His father had personally confirmed it. There could be no mistake..
When Ethan first heard the news, his mind had exploded with a loud clang.
Even now, he still couldn’t fully process it.
Susan’s breathing turned frantic. “How… how could this happen?”
She stared at Ethan in disbelief.
Hadn’t they always said she was just a country girl?
How did she suddenly become… the Luke family’s lost princess?
“Wait, Susan gasped. “A few years ago
the Luke family announced their little princess had gone missing. Was it her?”
Back then, the entire Fleule had been thrown into an uproar.
Even Susan had heard about it,
She remembered feeling sorry for that lost little girl.
Lilian had been the one to tell her about it at the time.
Now, the two women exchanged another stunned glance.
Their breathing grew chaotic and uneven.
If Stella had truly grown up with the Luke family… then this time, they were facing serious trouble.
Meanwhile, back at Pluchville Hill
Stella burrowed deep into the covers and refused to come out.
Her muilled voice came from under the blanket. “Get out. Hurry up and get
i out.”

Her tone carrieil clear frustration.
Abraham sighed helplessly.
He reached out to pull the blanket off her but Stella clutched it even tighter.
“If you pull it off, I’m calling Mom!” she cried.
