Chapter 283 A Fraud
Stella looked at Eddie like this, casting a conflicted glance at Abraham. “Why did he run?”
“For his own good.”
Stella was taken aback, her disbelief evident. Why does this sound so unconvincing to met
Just then, Stella’s phone rang. It was still Tessa calling.
Ilgo
She glanced at Abraham and said. “It’s Tess. I’ll go answer it.”
“Okay.” Abraham released the hand that had been resting on her waist.
Stella picked up the phone and headed out the door. Eddie, seeing her about to leave, called out urgently, “Star, you can’t just stand by and watch.”
Abraham won’t let you die.”
Hopefully, this time, Eddic learns something from it.
Stella walked out, phone in hand.
Abraham took the cigar that Abel handed him and added. “Add five more laps.”
Eddie shouted, “Abraham, you’re really something else. Who do you think I’m doing this for?”
Abel sighed inwardly, Does Mr. Eddie really want to just collapse here and be done with it?
Tess.
Stella picked up Tessa’s call. Tess.”
Tessa’s voice came through, full of urgency. “Star, it’s happening! It’s really happening. You’ve got to listen!”
A loud slap echoed through the phone, followed by Sharon’s furious roar. “Who the hell are you calling a mistress? I’ll tear you apart today!”
“I’m talking about you!” Rebecca’s voice was seething. Jonathan has kids already! Do you want to be a stepmom now?”
Susan’s voice interrupted, calm but firm. “Shut up, everyone, Rebecca, keep quiet.”
“Shut up?” Rebecca’s voice was dripping with sarcasm. “No wonder you, old witch, kept stopping me from marrying Jonathan. You didn’t even want your own grandchild, so you were waiting for something better, huh?”
Susan’s silence spoke volumes.
Rebecca continued with a sneer. “The Parker family’s precious daughter, huh? Are you blind? Or do you just love married
Sharon’s anger flared. “Dmn it! I’ll tear you apart!”
Even though it was just through the phone, Stella could already feel the chaos on the other end. Tessa’s voice came through. delighting in the chaos. “Star, did you hear that? Is it clear enough? If not, I’ll get closer.”
Stella’s lips twitched in annoyance. “You said you didn’t go to the hospital, how come you’re there now?”
Tessa chuckled. “I’m just here for the drama, you know? I couldn’t miss such a big scene.”
Stella’s eyelid twitched again. “You went to the hospital just for the drama?”

Stella sighed, Truly, wherever Tessa goes, there is always gossip to be had.
But since Tessa saw it, it was like Stella saw it too. Tessa clicked her tongue on the phone. ‘Ouch, they’re fighting badly. I’m filming it for you.”
“Alright,” Stella replied, resigned.
The video Tessa had sent earlier hadn’t been opened yet. She hung up and opened the video. It looked like it was filmed in the corridor outside Jonathan’s hospital room
Susan was blocking Rebecca from entering. The two of them went back and forth, arguing.
Rebecca’s voice rang out, sharp and sarcastic. “The Reed family is cursed for marrying a woman like you! You can’t tell the difference between family and outsiders Favoring your adopted daughter is one thing, but encouraging her to steal your own daughter’s fiance? What, now you want to match your biological son with your adopted daughter?”
Susan, enraged, tried to slap Rebecca. “You’re out of line, Rebeccal” she yelled.
Rebecca wasn’t easy to deal with either. She grabbed Susan’s wrist and pushed her down, her voice mocking. “How’s the ground. Madam Susan?” Susan couldn’t get up..
Tessa sent another video.
Stella opened it and saw a chaotic scene. Rebecca and Sharon were fighting.
Susan tried to help Sharon but was thrown to the ground by Rebecca, unable to get back up.
Tessa’s call came again. “Did you see it?”
Stella replied dryly, “Saw it.”
At the moment, the Reed family was in complete turmoil.
Tessa’s voice came with a knowing tone. “After today, the Parker family will tear Jonathan apart too. This is straight–up marriage fraud”
Stella’s voice was grim. With kids that big, it’s definitely a fraud.”
