Chapter 333 Everyone Wants What’s Not Theirs
“You all want me dead. Since that’s what you want, I’ll give it to you.” Lilian said in a pitiful tone.
Rebecca sneered, “Oh please. If your life really meant so little to you, would you have gone to such lengths to frame me?”
Susan, sensing Lilian’s despair, was about to soften when Rebecca’s sharp words struck her. She trembled with anger, not even sure whether she was furious at Rebecca or disappointed in Lilian
Rebecca squatted down, flinging the necklace at Lilian’s face. This is how you framed Stella back then too, isn’t it? All that “Mom, don’t blame her, it’s my fault. Don’t be mad at Stella; it’s all on me.. Ugh.”
Mocking Lilian’s pitiful tone, Rebecca nearly gagged.
Lilian’s face went ghostly pale with rage..
Rebecca stood up coldly and turned to Susan. “Didn’t you say I was poorly raised?”
Then her gaze shifted back to Lilian. “Well, your parenting sure is something else.”
Rebecca gave them both a withering once–over, then strutted out of the room with a sneer.
Lilian had tried to set her up, then she would expose the scheme on the spot, in her own way leaving no place for it to hide.
Susan looked at Lilian with a broken heart. “Why would you do this?”
She did not like Rebecca much either, but this… this was too underhanded. There were plenty of ways to drive someone away. Did it have to be something so dirty?
“Mom, I…” Lilian tried to talk her way out again.
Before she could finish, Susan cut in. “Enough. Don’t say another word. You’re this sick and still causing trouble.” Furious, Susan turned and stormed off.
Lilian’s breath caught. Her already pale face turned even whiter, and tears streamed down.
“Why? Why does everyone always try to take what’s mine?” She growled through clenched teeth.
First it was Stella. Now Rebecca had appeared.
Thinking of how Rebecca had manhandled her just moments ago, Lilian felt her whole body burning with pain.
Meanwhile, on Kealis Island….

Eddie muttered behind them, “That Bert and Bernie, they’re two totally different creatures.”
Bernie had come off as downright sleazy.
But Bert? He had acted like a decent guy. As soon as he heard why they were here, he handed over the goods without a fuss.
If th
they had known the stuff was with Bert from the start, they would not have needed to make this whole trip.
Abraham said flatly, “You think there are good people in a place like this?”
Eddie came to realize….
Well, okay then. Bert did single–handedly control Kealis Island. No way he was some noble soul.
He said, “Maybe he just wanted to show off in front of a pretty lady? I could tell he really liked that little wife by his side.”
Stella’s brow twitched. She gave Eddie a warning glance. “We’re still on Bert’s property.”
Eddie not only had a big mouth. He also loved gossip.
Still, he was not wrong. Bert’s new wife really was young. He was pushing seventy, and she looked. barely past twenty.
Eddie muttered, “I was just saying.”
“Then choose a better time and place to say it,” Stella scolded lightly.
Eddie pouted and said no more.
Fine. Abraham and Stella were always right. Always.
Suddenly, Abraham’s phone vibrated. It was Derrick calling.
The moment he picked up, Derrick’s furious voice exploded through the line, “You lied to me?! Vincent and Gabe, was that your doing?!”
Derrick was beyond livid.
He had not expected Abraham to go that far. Though the man was no stranger to ruthless tactics, Vincent and Gabe were different.
This loss was a heavy one.
Abraham glanced at the little thing beside him, still munching snacks. I’ve told you to forget about the engagement.”
Stella had a cookie halfway to her mouth. She froze and looked over at him.

Then Derrick laughed darkly. “Sure, I can forget it. But you, Abraham, do you really think you can be with her? Have you forgotten… that time with Reese…?”
Before Derrick could finish, Abraham’s eyes turned icy, and he hung up without hesitation.
For a moment, a storm flickered in the depths of his gaze.
Stella blinked at him, cookie still in her mouth. “Reese? What about Reese?”
What had Derrick been trying to say?
