Chapter 232 No Forgiveness
“Mr. Abraham,” Patrick called out hoarsely.
Abraham’s cold eyes glinted with sharp mockery, “Mr. Patrick, what exactly do you think she needs from you?”
Patrick’s mouth opened – but no words came out.
Right… what could Stella possibly still need from them?
Growing up in the Luke family–a place like that she probably never lacked for anything.
Thinking back to how, after Stella returned to the Reed family, they kept cutting her credit card limit lower and lower, Patrick felt a wave of shame burn through him.
Abraham let out a low, mocking laugh. “Everything happening to the Reed Group now has nothing to do with her. Don’t bother her again.”
“She has nothing to do with you anymore.”
Patrick felt the words like a slap across his face.
Nothing to do with them…
It struck him how true it was. Aside from a sliver of blood ties, there really wasn’t anything connecting them to Stella
anymore
Especially when he thought about how they had treated her after bringing her back from Stella’s point of view, they had done nothing but hurt her.
But… she had been so rebellious!
Remembering all the stories Susan used to tell him about Stella’s attitude, Patrick’s headache grew worse.
Abraham turned to leave.
Patrick stumbled forward, nearly slipping on the icy ground, and managed to grab the hem of Abraham’s coat.
“Mr. Abraham.” he pleaded. “Can’t you be merciful and spare the Reed Group?”
Abraham lowered his gaze.
When his eyes met Patrick’s again, the icy coldness was suffocating.
Patrick’s chest tightened under that stare.
“We’re her parents,” he said, voice cracking.
“Parents?” Abraham sneered. “Parents who nearly cost her life? Mr. Patrick, you really have the nerve to use that bond as a
shield?”
The danger in his voice was palpable.
In an instant, the mocking stile disappeared from Abraham’s face, replaced by a cold, deadly aura.
Patrick’s heart stuttered.
But–but that wasn’t Lilian’s doing! Stella misunderstood Patrick blurted out in panic.
The words had barely left his mouth when Abraham pulled free from his grasp and climbed into the car without a backward glance.

Chapter 232 NO
“And since you are supposedly her parents that only makes it even less forgivable. Don’t you think?”
The people who should have protected her were the ones who shoved her to the edge of death.
Patrick was speechless.
The word “unforgivable” hit him like a thunderclap straight to the heart.
Already pale from the cold, Patrick turned ghostly white.
Before he could say another word, the car window rolled up, the engine roared to life, and the car pulled away.
Panicked, Patrick tried to rush forward- but he slipped on the ice and barely managed to catch himself.
By the time he stood upright again, all he could see was the car disappearing into the distance.
The frigid wind howled around him.
Inside the warm car, Abraham cradled Stella in his arms.
“You didn’t kill her on the spot?” he asked softly.
many people on her side that day. I was alone.”
Stella sniffled and looked up at him. “I couldn’t. There were too n
Her voice was soft, almost casual.
But those simple words made Abraham’s gaze darken with a deadly chill she couldn’t see.
Meanwhile, Patrick didn’t even remember how he got back to the company.
He stumbled in. looking like a ghost.
Jonathan, who had pulled another all–nighter and was still getting hounded by Rebecca, rushed up to meet him.
“Dad, how did it go? Did Stella agree to talk to Mr. Abraham?”
His voice was full of urgency.
That damned girl. Jonathan seethed silently. Colliding with outsiders to destroy the Reed Group.
Thinking about the trouble Stella had brought upon them, Jonathan’s rage only deepened.
Patrick looked at his son, opened his mouth – but no words came out.
The fury and frustration boiling inside him left him completely speechless.
Jonathan saw the tension in his father’s face, the veins bulging at his temples.
“Dad, don’t tell me Lilian was right all along that Stella’s willing to sell herself just to get revenge on us?”
Saying it out loud made Jonathan even more furious
“If that’s really the case, then she’s no sister of mine.”
Disgraceful!
Selling herself to an outsider just to get back at her own family.
Even if Mr. Abraham was powerful–she was nothing but a plaything to him.
Once he got bored, he’d toss her aside like garbage
