Chapter 251 Bared Secrets
Eihan already knew she had used his card the other day to buy gifts for
–
everyone in her studio.
Each set of cosmetics cost over ten thousand, and she had bought a full set for each person.
Of course she didn’t feel a thing it wasn’t her own money.
Stella said lightly, “Oh, if you won’t pay, that’s fine.”
She didn’t care either way.
She had only been toying with them anyway.
Jonathan snapped. Just name your condition for letting Lilian leave.”
At this point, Jonathan had no patience left for anything else. He just wanted to get Lilian’s situation resolved.
Stella said, “You two weren’t even willing to pay one million. If I name a real condition, you might die of shock.”
Jonathan was speechless.
Ethan’s face darkened.
This woman!
Jonathan, furious beyond belief, shouted. “You’re too much! Stella, I’m telling you, Lilian must leave the country!”
“Oh, that’s not up to me,” Stella said easily.
You–Jonathan’s voice shook
“You’ll have to talk to my brother about that.”
The word “brother” hit Jonathan like a punch to the gut.
For a moment, he was dazed. It took him a second to realize she wasn’t referring to him- she meant Abraham.
For some reason, a heavy, suffocating feeling settled in his chest.
Stella stepped forward, reaching out to straighten Jonathan’s tie. Her voice was casual. “If Rebecca finds out you’ve been running around Lilian all this time, ignoring her and your son… Do you think she might take the kid and jump off the Reed Group building?”
Jonathan’s breathing faltered.
He grabbed Stella’s wrist tightly. “What do you know?”
He had hidden that woman and child extremely well.
Stella smiled kindly. “You’re pretty bold. Dangling Pei Shan along while your son is already over two years old.”
Jonathan’s breathing faltered again.
He instinctively glanced at Ethan. The security office wasn’t big, and Stella hadn’t spoken quietly – Ethan had heard everything.
Ethan’s eyes were filled with shock
Jonathan’s breathing grew uneven. “You investigated me?”
Jonathan felt like he couldn’t breathe.
He had always been terrified that anyone would find out that a nightclub woman had tied him down and even given birth to his son
Stella pulled her wrist free and rubbed it, leaving a faint red mark behind. After delivering her bombshell, she didn’t want to waste another second. She turned and started to leave.
“If you dare tell Rebecca, Jonathan growled viciously, “T’ll skin you alive.”
Just as he spat those words out, Abraham appeared at the security office door.
His gaze swept over Jonathan, cold and without the slightest warmth. “And how exactly do you plan to do that?”
At the same time, Stella reached Abraham’s side.
He immediately pulled her over and lifted her wrist for inspection. Seeing the red marks where Jonathan had grabbed her, Abraham’s already frigid eyes grew even colder.
“You did this?” he asked dangerously,
Jonathan had still been fuming, but facing Abraham’s cold, lethal aura, he immediately shrank back, swallowing hard.
He deflated in an instant, like a beaten dog.

Abraham’s innate dominance radiated from him–just one look from him exuded the kind of blood–chilling certain men carried.
Even Jonathan and Ethan, the so–called golden boys of Rivermount, had to bow their heads before him now.
Abraham narrowed his eyes slightly. “Abel.”
“Yes, sir”
Abraham’s voice was cold. “The Reed family-
“Mr. Abraham Jonathan’s heart skipped a beat. He quickly stepped forward to cut him off.
No, no, anything but the Reed family!
The Reed family was already on the verge of collapse. Their last valuable project had been shut down. If Abraham made a move against them now, it would be complete ruin.
Jonathan’s chest tightened painfully. “Mr. Abraham, you misunderstood.”
As he spoke, he desperately tried to catch Stella’s eye, pleading silently.
You little brat! Picking sides like this? Betraying your own family?
Jonathan was fuming inside, but he didn’t dare show it on his face. He could only look anxious and submissive.
Abraham raised an eyebrow. “Are you saying I’m deaf?”
Ipnathan broke out in a cold sweat. “No, I—”
Facing Abraham’s increasingly cold, cutting gaze, Jonathan’s heart clenched again. He instinctively turned to look at Stella.
