Chapter 282 He Is Terrifying
Tessa spoke animatedly. Even through the phone, Stella could feel her excitement. If someone didn’t know better, they’d think it was her enemy. She sounded that happy.
“It was already pretty tense before,” Stella said. “Rebecca’s personality is fiery enough on its own.”
Back then, Susan had been stressed out every day. In the end, Jonathan stepped in to fix things, and that’s what had kept Rebecca quiet for this long.
Now Jonathan was busy with Lillian’s injury, and Rebecca–who lived off him–was clearly taking advantage of the situation.
“She is fiery, Tessa agreed. “I’ll send you the video, haha”
“The whole Reed family today was out of control. I’m sure the Parker family will hear about it too.”
With things blowing up like this, there was no way the Parkers wouldn’t find out.
Stella gave a hum of agreement. “Send it to me first.”
“Alright.”
Right after hanging up, a servant knocked and entered respectfully. “Ms. Dawson.”
“What is it?” she asked.
“Dr. Eddie asked me to tell you, please head to the boxing room/
Stella frowned. “What for?”
“He said Mr. Abraham is there too.”
Her brows lifted slightly. Abraham’s there tool And Eddie wants me to go?
“Alright, I’ll go take a look.”
Since Abraham was there, she might as well go..
She stood up and headed straight downstairs.
Seaflats Cove was huge, with every kind of facility.
Stella walked through the glass corridor and passed the billiards room. Outside the glass, snow was still falling steadily.
From a distance, she heard Eddie shouting. “No way! I really can’t run anymore! Are you trying to kill me?”
As Stella reached the door, she saw Abraham make a simple gesture. Two bodyguards immediately stepped forward, picked up the exhausted and slumped Eddie, and made him keep running.
Stella stared at Eddie. What is going on?
“Abraham!” Eddie yelled. Tm telling you–Star’s not gonna like you like this! You’re the opposite of gentle!”
Abraham sat in a chair, a cigar between his fingers. His shirt was half unbuttoned, giving him a cold and ascetic appearance.
He took a slow drag from the cigar and said calmly. “Add ten more laps.”
Eddie shouted in frustration, Tin already dying after five! You want ten more? Are you even human?”
Stella glanced at Eddie, who was drenched in sweat. He clearly wasn’t exaggerating
1/2
He waved her over. “Star, come here.”
The moment Eddie realized Stella was here, it was like he’d seen his savior.
He swore that if he made it out alive today, he would never joke abour Stella again. He’d stay out of her business for good. Abraham is terrifying Is he the only one allowed to talk to Stella? If anyone else says a word too many to Stella, he flips?
Stella walked over. Abraham pulled her straight into his lap and handed his cigar to Abel.
“What’s Eddie doing?” she asked.
“Helping him build stamina,” Abraham replied. “A proper doctor should have enough endurance to handle ten surgeries in a
TOW.
Stella blinked. Is that really necessary?
“But he doesn’t need that kind of stamina now, does he?”
Eddie was his personal doctor now–he had no need to be doing ten surgeries a day.
“I’m doing it for his own good, Abraham said.
Stella froze. Why does this sound so familiar?
Eddie was out of strength.
Even hanging off the bodyguards, he felt miserable being dragged around. Especially since Abraham’s men were annoyingly skilled–even being carried, he had to put in effort.
When he saw Stella, Eddie shouted, “Star! Say something! Abraham’s abusing his power!”
Stella replied. “Abraham said it’s for your own good.”
That made Eddie panic even more. “I don’t want what’s good for me!”
If this was supposed to be good, he’d rather someone else have it.
Abraham tightened his hold on Stella’s slim waist. “Why didn’t you wear something warmer?”
The temperature had been freezing for days. The snow outside hadn’t stopped.
“I’ve been indoors the whole time,” Stella said. “It’s fine.”
She hadn’t stepped outside lately, Abraham hadn’t let her anyway.
Meanwhile, Eddie kept running and yelling.
