Chapter 266 Missing Evie
Abraham’s broad palm pressed down on the back of her head, forcing Stella to tilt her head upward naturally.
The moment their eyes met, Stella caught the fleeting trace of teasing in Abraham’s gaze. “You can ask,” he said with a smirk. “but how does Star plan to thank me?*
Stella was shocked.
Seriously? You expect a reward for this?
“Didn’t everything I have come from you? What more is there to ask for?”
Abraham said, “You are y
you mine?”
Stella drew in a sharp breath
Before she could speak. Abraham leaned down. As their breaths mingled, the winter air seemed to grow a bit warmer.

The next morning, when Abel went upstairs to wait in the study, the last thing he expected was to see Abraham walking Stella’s room.
This
He turned around, pretending not to see anything, but it felt like it was already too late.
Unable to avoid it, Abel respectfully called, “Mr. Abraham.
Abraham was wearing a robe, the collar loosely undone, with faint scratch marks visible underneath. A closer look revealed that they appeared to be new scratches.
Abel tensed up immediately. I should have come later but it was already nine o’clock
Abraham said. “Go wait in the study
Yes.”
Hearing this. Abel felt as though he had been pardoned and quickly made his way to the study.
About ten minutes later, Abraham arrived. He had changed into a smoke–grey loungewear set, radiating a cold yet noble aura.
Eddie was with him.
Looking at Eddie’s exhausted face, it was obvious he had stayed up all night. He had planned to chase Abel, but his stamina gave out, and he nearly tripped as he went after him. By the time he stood up, Abel had already left. He spent the entire night worrying that Evie might have really gotten beaten up by Abel…
Those under Abraham are known to be ruthless, with no regard for restraint when they take action.
Abraham walked over to the sofa, sat down, and took out a cigarette. He asked Abel coldly, “So, how did it go?”
The question was naturally about whether Evie had been found. Eddie’s face also tightened as he looked at Abel
Abel replied, “Evie has already left Rivermount.”
Abraham lost his words.
Eddie screamed, “What the heck is that supposed to mean?”
Eddie jerked upright. What do you mean? She left Rivermount? Flow did she leave?She got chased off?

Now Eddie was getting seriously pissed off.
He glared at Abraham, completely losing it. “Seriously, man? Do you just go around hitting everyone now?”
Abel said, “Mr. Eddie, keep quiet and don’t speak.”
Eddie was really pissed. Even though his sister was troublesome, she was still his sister, no matter how much they usually argued. But when it came to the outside, he still stood by her, as he was meant to.
Abraham glanced at him coldly. “Are you trying to go to heaven?” he asked.
Eddie said. I’m serious; I’m really pissed off now.”
Abel said, “I didn’t lay a hand on her.”
Amid the chaos, the air suddenly fell silent.
Eddie looked at Abel. “How did that person leave Rivermount? Did you beat him out, or just throw him out?”
Abraham also turned to look at Abel.
Abel said. “It was Ms. Evie who got rid of our lady’s people and then left Rivermount right after.”
Eddie’s lip twitched and thought. What is this? What does it mean?
Abraham frowned and glanced at Abel. “What do you mean?”
So, after getting rid of Marie’s people, she just left Rivermount?
Abel said, “She left and only had a layover in Rivermount, staying for the time between landing and taking off.”
Eddie and Abraham lost their words.
Eddie ran a hand through his hair, feeling conflicted. What is Evie up to? She really just left? Or is this part of her strategy? Is there
wore to it!
Eddie said. “Are you sure she left?”
Toured Rivermount with Maree’s people. She did nothing, just brushed them off and goalked away? That is hard to believe. Or maybe she was trying to make a deal with Marie, and it fell through? Hold on…
Eddie turned to Abraham, “Did Marie offer Evie any kind of reward for stealing Star away?!
Abel frowned. “If there was no benefit, Ms. Evie wouldn’t have bothered coming
They have never really gotten along. There was no way Evie would follow Marie unless there was a really tempting offer. She even brought Marie’s people with her,
