Chapter 31 She Has a Man
Abraham reached for his clothes and slipped them on.
Even though it was over, the tension between Abraham and Ethan still felt like swords drawn and bows bent.
Stella glanced at Ethan. “Get the hell out.”
If he didn’t leave now, he might really die here tonight. And if he actually died here, that would be seriously unlucky.
Ethan was already furious. Now, seeing that Stella wanted him to leave instead of Abraham, the fire in his chest exploded,
“Stella, what the…
Abraham cut him off coldly. “Say one more word to insult her, and I swear, you won’t leave here alive.”
As soon as he finished speaking, the man pulled a gun from the inside of his suit jacket.
He pointed it straight at Ethan. Ethan’s breath hitched, and his pupils shrank sharply.
In a place like Rivermount, this guy actually carries something like that? Has Stella lost her mind? What kind of dangerous man is she involved with!
Abraham spoke again, voice cold as ice. “Do you want to give it a try?”
He meant that if Ethan said one more word, he’d find out what happens.
Stella had grown up in Falvaria, and no matter where she went, no one had ever dared talk to her like this.
But now, in this place, these people…
There was more and more danger in Abraham’s eyes.
That danger closed in on Ethan like a trap. In a place like Rivermount, he had never been treated like this before.
He narrowed his eyes and stared right back at Abraham.
Abraham said, “Do you want to try?”
Try what? Why don’t you just get the hell out already?” Stella snapped.
She was about to lose it. / Ethan insane? Can’t he see what Abraham is holding? Does he actually want to die here?
She didn’t like Ethan, but she hadn’t meant for him to die. It wasn’t like they had some huge blood feud.
Ethan shot her a cold look
Stella, furious, yelled, “Leave! Don’t you know how to walk?”
Seeing Ethan frozen in place, Stella kicked him hard.
If he kept standing there, he might just turn into a tombstone in the countryside for the rest of his life
Ehan stormed out of Kingston Heights, his head ringing like a beehive.
Jason had been waiting downstairs the whole time. When he saw Ethan coming down with a face like stone, and even some bruises, he sucked in a sharp breath “Ms. Dawson still sai
Refusing to get married was one thing but hitting him? That’s something else.
Thinking of Stella’s temper. Jason shivered again

Jason sighed. “Women need sweet–talking”
“Sweet–talking? Ha.
When Ethan said the word “sweet–talking” his voice dripped with sarcasm.
Jason fell silent.
With Stella’s temper, sweet–talking probably wouldn’t work either. She was like a brick wall, nothing got through.
That was how people saw Stella. Not particularly talented, but her temper was something else.
Ethan narrowed his eyes dangerously. “Look into the guy who’s been getting close to her lately. Find out who he is.”
Jason blinked. “What?”
Hearing the word “guy,” Jason looked at Ethan like he’d just said something insane.
A guy? Ms. Dawson has a man around her?
“That… that’s impossible. Ms. Dawson’s always alone. If anyone’s with her, it’s Ms. Miller.”
In Jason’s words, the nice way to describe Stella was “a homebody.”
To put it less kindly, she was basically a lazy bum who’d rather stay in than go outside.
Finished
She didn’t have much ability, a short temper, and a lot of pride. It seemed impossible that a woman like her could have a
man.
If it wasn’t for the Reed family, even Ethan wouldn’t have stuck around.
Seeing Jason’s disbelief, the danger on Ethan’s face only grew. “I just ran into him. Do you think I’m making this up?”
Jason was taken aback. You ran into him? Wait, what?
Ethan’s mind flashed back to Abraham’s cold, dangerous eyes. That face felt familiar, like he’d seen it somewhere before, but couldn’t quite remember where. And that gun he pulled out so casually.
“He’s probably someone from the underworld,” Ethan muttered.
He was determined to find out exactly who that man was. He never expected someone like Abraham could be hiding in Rivermount.
Whoever he was, Ethan was going to tear him apart.
That word “underworld” only made Jason more confused.
That didn’t make sense. With Stella’s temper, she shouldn’t be able to connect with people like that.
Downstairs, Ethan stormed out, seething
Upstairs, after all the chaos, any trace of sleep Stella had was long gone.
