Chapter 301 A Bloodline That Means Nothing
Stella shook her head. “No need.”
That kind of bloodline only brought suffocation by its very existence.
After the Reed family had spent the last two years trying to hunt me down, now they wanted to talk about blood ties?
Ethan’s breathing on the other end of the line tightened noticeably.
It was as if he hadn’t understood what Stella had just said. He said in a suppressed voice, “The Reed family has someone now. Her biological brother.”
Abraham chuckled darkly. “Didn’t you hear what Star just said? She doesn’t need this, and besides, do you even have the right to talk about family ties?”
He emphasized the words “family ties with a tone full of mockery and disdain.
Ethan caught that tone too and immediately understood what Abraham meant.
It was a jab at how the Reed family had failed to distinguish who really mattered when it came to Lillian
and Stella.
Ethan’s grip on the phone tightened. “Lillian grew up in the Reed family. Of course there’s an emotional bond.”
Emotional attachment, huh?
It was understandable that they cared about Lillian, but when it came to Stella, all they’d shown was ruthless intent.
And now they expected me to show mercy out of respect for their blood connection?
Abraham let out a cold laugh. “If the Reed family weren’t her blood relatives, maybe things could have ended cleaner.”
Stella’s eyebrows twitched slightly at these words.
Even Ethan was stunned for a moment.
Without another word, Abraham hung up coldly.
Talking to someone like Ethan is a waste of breath.
He tossed the phone aside and climbed back into bed, pulling Stella into his arms in one swift
motion.
“Star.

madness.
After years of holding back, he finally didn’t have to anymore….
8 Pearls
The cold wind was howling outside.
Ethan felt as if the cold had penetrated to his bones. The beep of the disconnected call echoed in his ears, leaving his mind blank.
If we weren’t her blood relatives, maybe it would have been easier…
Either way, it led to death? Without blood ties, it would’ve just been faster. So that was what Mr. Abraham
meant?
Jason approached him. “Mr. Keene, Ms. Dawson has already left Rivermount.”
It had taken a lot of effort to get this information from the security team.
It was really difficult. Any news about Stella was almost impossible for us to get now.
We couldn’t contact her; we couldn’t see her.
She used to be someone we could reach at any time, and now it was as if she had disappeared into a bottomless abyss.
Ethan shivered with cold. “When did this happen?”
“Right after the incident,” Jason answered.
Ethan remained silent.
Stella was no longer in Rivermount. That meant I had no way of finding her, let alone saying anything to her face.
His expression became more tense.
Abraham’s words on the phone earlier had made it very clear, the Reed family wasn’t going to get through this easily.
But Lillian couldn’t wait any longer…
I visited her yesterday. The moment I entered her room, I felt an overwhelming sense of lifelessness.
She is still alive, but the room feels colder than a tomb.
Jason added, “Maybe she’s gone back to Falvaria.”
Fahuria?

It reminded Ethan that Stella had grown up with the Scott family.
She had gone back. And with that, the distance between us had grown even more immeasurable.
Finally, Ethan returned to the Reed mansion.
The moment he stepped inside, he heard Susan screaming at Patrick, “Why… why would you do this to me? When did you and this woman start? You even had children with her, twins! Patrick Reed, what do you take me for? I have given everything to this family all these years, and this is how you repay me? Why would you do this?”
Susan was hysterical, falling apart.
Patrick was full of disgust. “What have you ever given to this family? Since the day we got married, you’ve never worked a day, you’ve never suffered. You’ve lived the life of a rich woman for years, and now you can’t even keep peace among the children in this house.”
He thought of the recent losses the company had suffered, all because of Stella. And it was all Susan’s fault, in his eyes.
“You think I haven’t done enough? You know exactly how Stella is! And now you’re blaming it all.
on me?
Susan had gone completely crazy.
She was shaking with rage at the thought of those twins.
He had been right under my eyes, and yet I hadn’t known a thing, not even when he had been involved with the company’s finances.
And note he is denying everything she has done all these years.
Patrick gave her a cold look. “Whatever she became, you’re the one who gave birth to her. And you’re the one who pushed her to this point.”
