Chapter 307 Embarrassment, Pain and a Phone Call
Stella flushed and shook her head quickly. Just a little sore.”
Abraham looked at her flushed face and gently pinched her cheek. “Go freshen up. Food is ready”
With that, he turned and walked out.
Stella hurried into the bathroom. When she saw her flushed cheeks in the mirror, she tapped them a few times.
Then she grabbed two handfuls of cold water and splashed her face.
“Idiot.”
How had I never noticed that the always stern and aloof Abraham could be so shameless?
He brought it up so casually, like it was nothing.
Outside, Abraham made a quick phone call to Eddie.
The moment Eddie picked up the phone, he went silent for a second, then began to scold, “Seriously? You raised her like a little treasure since she was a kid, and now you’ve hurt her more
than once.”
Abraham snapped, “Just do what I told you. Enough talk.
Then he hung up.
Abel stood behind him, eyes glued to the floor, pretending he hadn’t heard a thing.
I’m struggling. Really, this isn’t the kind of thing I’m supposed to hear
In the car, Eddie stared at his phone, hearing only the beep of a disconnected call. “He’s acting like I’m the one who hurt her.”
Victor, the driver, glared at him. “One day your mouth is going to get you killed.”
Eddie grumbled, “So I can’t talk now?”
Who did the damage here?
The one who hurts gets a free pass, but the one who talks gets punished?
“Stop in 200 meters. There’s a pharmacy ahead.”

Abraham in the shower.
That man…
Well, let’s just say an average person couldn’t handle it, let alone someone as delicate as Stella.

Stella finished washing up and was about to leave when her phone rang again. It was Tessa.
“Hey, Tess.”
“Star, someone’s hugging my legs. Tessa said.
“Huh?”
“It is Madam Susan. She wants to talk to you. If you don’t want to, just say so, and I’ll throw her off me right now.”
Tessa was furious.
Who would do such a thing?
I’m seriously tempted to push Susan Carter out the door.
She had always claimed to be the most dignified Madam Susan. Was this dignity?
Stella replied flatly. “Throw her out.”
She hung up immediately.
If Susan was reaching out now, it could only be because of Lillian
Either that, or she is looking for someone to blame for the Reed family’s current mess, and I’m the easiest target.
I’m practically flying high at this moment. I’m not going to let Susan’s venom ruin my mood.
She stepped out of the lounge.
Even though she had splashed cold water on her face, her cheeks were still red and burning a little.
She grabbed more cold water and splashed herself again
At the dining table, Abraham sat with a glass of red wine and a simple steak in front of him.
Stella had more on her plate–steak, pasta, and some mashed com

Abraham cut the steak for her..
As she sat down, he said gently. “Start with the mashed corn.”
She’d gone too long without eating. Eating too quickly could upset her stomach.

But before he could finish his sentence, Stella had already picked up a spoon and started eating.
She really was starving.
Just then. Victor and Eddie boarded the plane and immediately saw her wolfing down the food.
Eddie clicked his tongue. “Derrick was technically your fiancé. And he didn’t even feed you?
The air in the cabin fell silent.
All eves turned to Eddie.
Abel was sure that one day Abraham would sew Eddie’s mouth shut.
Even Victor instinctively stepped away, not wanting to get caught in the crossfire.
As for Abraham, his glare was downright deadly.
Stella broke out in a cold sweat.
Eddie really had a talent for killing himself
Meanwhile, back at the Reed mansion, after hearing the call cut off, Susan clung even tighter to Tessa’s leg in desperation.
Tessa is the only one able to reach Stella.
“Ms. Miller, I’m begging you. Just let me say a few words to her. Please…
Susan was frantic.
Lillian had coughed up blood again, and my son Jonathan, those lifeless eyes of his…
The pain tore through me constantly. I’m on the edge.
I knew that one word from Stella could solve Lillian and Jonathan’s problems.
Tessa scoffed. “Madam Susan, aren’t you forgetting your status?”
How much did she love this adopted daughter to go this far?
