Chapter 272 Are You Leaving?
Lillian said, “Tell her to let me go this time. When I get better, she can torture me all she wants.”
“Lillian.” Susan’s heart was aching even more.
Lillian continued, “Whatever she wants me to admit, I’ll admit it. All of it. Everything. If she wants to settle scores, let’s wait till I’m better, okay?”
The feeling of being trapped in this dark. hopeless place was more than Lillian could take. She felt so desperate she didn’t even know if she’d live to see the sun rise again.
please talk to her, Lillian begged. Tim begging you. Just take it as me begging you, okay?”
She broke down in despair.
She couldn’t even fall asleep to escape the pain anymore. It hurt so much.
So this was what sickness felt like, in life and death–it cut straight to the bone.
At that moment, Susan didn’t believe Lillian had actually done all those things.
That just made her hate Stella even more. She thought it was Stella who had pushed Lillian to this point.
“Mom Lillian whispered.
“Lillian, my sweetheart… Susan said softly.
It wasn’t just Lillian who felt hopeless. Susan did too.
She hated seeing Lillian suffer like this. And she hated how powerless she was to stop it.
in the private room of Verdant Villa..
From the moment Kimmy saw Stella, the shock in her eyes hadn’t faded,
Or maybe it started even earlier, when she first entered Seaflats Cove and say Verdant Villa rising like a palace in the snow. Her heart had been pounding ever since.
Back when their studio had just started and wasn’t making any money, Stella had still been incredibly generous with them.
They’d all thought she was spending the Reed family’s money.
But once the Reed family showed their true colors, Kimmy realized that couldn’t be the case. She had no idea where Stella’s money came from.
Turns out, Stella was the owner of Seallats Cove.
And Kimmy believed that it must’ve had something to do with the man who picked Stella up
This definitely wasn’t the Reed family’s property. If they had this kind of status, they wouldn’t have been scrambling like fools all this time.
“What are you staring at? You spaced out, Stella said, setting a cup of coffee down in front of Kimmy,
Ms. Dawson, you owe me emotional damages,” Kimmy said, her eyes sparkling.
“What?” Stella asked, confused.
It didn’t make sense at all.
“Then I should ask for some damages too.” Tessa said with a snort.
When things blew up between Stella and the Reed family, they even had the nerve to freeze Stella’s credit cards.
Tessa had been pissed back then.
“You two are such clowns, Stella said.
She turned to Kimmy. “Did you bring the files?”
Yep, all of them, Kimmy said with a nod.
She handed them over, and Stella glanced through them before passing them straight to Tessa.
“Are you really going back to Falvaria?” Tessa asked, sounding a little reluctant.
was always going to go back sooner or later,” Stella replied.
Even if Abraham hadn’t shown up in Rivermount, Stella had been looking for a way back this whole time.
For the past two years, she’d been keeping an eye on everything happening in Falvaria. Waiting for a chance to return.
She just hadn’t expected Abraham to make the first move.
“Are you leaving Ms. Dawson? What about the studio?” Kimmy asked in shock.
Am I about to be unemployed? Please no
This job had been so stable, with such good pay.
“Didn’t I already find you a new boss?” Stella said casually.
Kimmy looked over at Tessa.
“Keep doing your job well. The pay and benefits won’t change, Tessa said.
“Ms. Dawson. Kimmy said softly, her eyes turning red as she looked at Steļļa.
Even as she prepared to leave, she still made sure they were taken care of. A boss like Stella was nearly impossible to come by.
“Alright, nothing good lasts forever,” Stella said.
At least the time they had spent together had been something to cherish.
While they were signing the paperwork, Kimmy’s phone rang. She stepped out to take the call.
Tessa took the chance to glance at Stella’s neck. “What’s that mark on your neck?” she asked.
“What?” Stella murmured, instinctively pulling her sweater collar up
“Don’t cover it, I already saw, Tessa said.
If she hadn’t tried to hide it, Tessa might’ve thought it was just a bug bite. But now, no need for explanations.
Stella looked a little embarrassed.
“You two are together?” Tessa asked.
“Yeah, Stella said, nodding. She didn’t hide it from Tessa..
