Chapter 374 Cracks in the Family
Rebecca saw the flash of triumph in Lillian’s eyes and sneered. This broken family is yours. Knock yourself out.”
She tossed the words over her shoulder and walked away,
It had only been a few days, but Rebecca had already seen through everything in this household.
Just as she turned to leave, Lillian called out from behind her. “Wait, what about my brother’s money?”
The thought of how much money Rebecca had taken from Jonathan made her angry.
Now she is just going to walk out?
Rebecca turned around. “Your brother? What a joke. He’s Stella’s real brother. But she didn’t want him. Are you picking up what she threw away? That’s right up your alley.”
“You…
Lillian felt humiliated.
But she didn’t dare defend herself. She was afraid this woman would hit her again.
Rebecca smiled. “What? He has a legal heir now. He has a son. And you? You’re nothing. Do you want me to leave the money? Have you looked in the mirror lately?”
Lillian’s face grew pale with anger. She glared at Rebecca, practically ready to skin her alive.
When Susan realized that Rebecca was taking the child and the money, another shouting match broke out.
But Rebecca wasn’t one to be talked down to. Once the money was in her hands, there was no getting it back.
And sure enough, after two hours of screaming….
She walked away with the kid and the money.
It was as if the sky had fallen on the Reed family.
Susan cried in Jonathan’s room. “Why on earth did you get involved with a woman like that?”
Two hours!
This woman had cursed us for two full hours, without once repeating herself. Her mouth was foul enough to rival a street thug

His head throbbed with pain.

“That car accident… was it really Lillian who planned it to hurt Stella?” he asked suddenly, cutting
off Susan’s tirade.
Susan froze at the question.
She lowered her head and said nothing.
Seeing her reaction, Jonathan got the gist of it. “So what now?”
After all, Stella is my biological sister.
I had grown up with Lillian, but if she had really tried to hurt Stella, I didn’t know how I could accept it.
Susan remained silent.
Her whole body was shaking.
Jonathan frowned. “Well? What are you going to do?”
Susan’s voice was hoarse. “What else can I do? We’ll figure it out when Lillian gets better.”
Jonathan was stunned.
Get better?
“With her condition,
do you really i
ink she will?”
And even if she can, we don’t have the money for the treatment.
It will at least cost a few million.
Then he remembered how Stella had been in a hospital bed for months two years ago, and it had all started with Lillian.
A cold distance began to form in his heart.
Susan sensed the change in him and looked up at him with a pained expression. “Jonathan. I…”
“Mom, Stella is your true daughter. The reason we sided with Lillian all these years was because we thought Stella was bullying her after she came back.”
Susan said nothing.
Jonathan continued, “But what if all of Stella’s resentment…stemmed from the accident? What does that make Lillian?”
For the past two years, Stella had been railing against Lillian.

But if she had been targeted first, almost killed, by Lillian, wasn’t she justified?
Susan’s breath caught.
She froze.
Jonathan’s voice grew cold. “Ethan too. He broke up with her over it, didn’t he?”
He remembered the day Ethan had left.
As Jonathan asked, the atmosphere around him grew sharper and colder.
Susan’s already labored breathing slowed again. She was shaking.
“… she…
Suddenly she didn’t know what to say. Her eyes filled with sorrow as she looked at her son.
Jonathan was shaking with rage.
That night. Stella had planned to wait and have dinner with Abraham, but he never came home.
So she ended up meeting Rianne.
When she arrived, Rianne was on the phone with Tessa.
Tessa, who was in Falvaria, sounded absolutely frantic.
