Chapter 40 Your Sister
Finished
When she saw the report, which said that from beginning to end, Stella had never resisted, she couldn’t hear it anymore. wrapped in the dangerous air surrounding the man. He won’t marry mel
That was the truth. She had never strongly resisted this matter because she knew Ethan wouldn’t marry her
Especially since Lillian would never allow it, and also because she didn’t know the Tom family had all died,
She worried that those people were watching her from the shadows, and if she ever rebelled, it might endanger Abraham.
“Well, you saw it yourself. He left me for another woman.
Abraham remained silent.
The words “another woman” instantly brought the atmosphere in the car down again.
Although Abraham had already been unhappy about Stella and Ethan, the fact that Ethan had abandoned her for someone else made him even more upset.
The girl he had raised so carefully, treated like a treasure, yet she had been wronged by another man.
A shadow passed through Abraham’s eyes. No one could tell what kind of danger was hidden deep within them at that
moment
When the car stopped, Stella realized Abraham had brought her to a party.
She recognized this place. It belonged to the well–respected Parker family of Rivermount.
For the past few years, the Reed family had always attended Michael Parker’s birthday party. If she remembered correctly. someone had mentioned last year that he would be turning 80 this year.
Judging from how extravagant the party looked tonight, it was clearly grander than in previous years.
Luxury cars filled the lot, and the lights were as bright as day.
Abel opened the car door respectfully. “Mr. Abraham, Mr. Louis is waiting for you.
Abraham nodded and glanced at Stella beside him. “Are you hungry?”
Stella looked at the time on her phone. “A little”
time now.
She had always eaten on time. It was about that if
Abraham said, “If you’re hungry, go get something to eat at the party. I’ll talk with Mr. Louis for about half an hour.”
Stella was slightly taken aback. So he’s here to talk business? I thought we’re here to celebrate a birthday.
She glanced outside at the stream of well–dressed guests–men in tailored suits, women in dresses of every color.
Then she looked down at her own loose, casual blazer and the simple white sneakers she’d thrown on earlier. “Well… I’m going in like this?
Abraham asked. “Is there a problem?”
Stella had no idea how to respond. Is there not a problem
Abel said. “There’s no problem

Stella nodded. “The Parker family’s chef cooks really well.”
Eddie was speechless
Hut, what? She’s eaten all kinds of delicacies back in Falvaria, and she still thinks the Parker chef’s food is good?
Abraham gave Eddie a look.
Finished
Eddie immediately put his phone away. “Alright. Your sister is my sister. I won’t let her go hungry. Go do your business.
She really was someone Abraluun treasured like a gem.
He’d worried about her going hungry, even when she was a kid,Vand now that she was all grown up, he still acted like she couldn’t take care of herself.
Abraham’s expression turnes cold. “Who said she’s your sister?”
Eddie’s mouth twitched. Fine. I won’t let your sister go hungry”
Talking back to Abraham was like digging your own grave.
Abraham walked off.
Eddie looked at Stella. “Come on, let’s go get some food,
Abraham hadn’t gone far, and even his back seemed to chill at those words.
Even Eddie, standing at a distance, felt it. He didn’t dare joke around anymore.
And just like that, dressed casually, Stella entered the extravagant party scene with Eddie by her side, completely out of place.
Eddie led her straight to the dessert table.
“You eat first. My game isn’t over yet.”
With such a huge spread of desserts, it should be enough.
He found a seat nearby and sat down.
Siella really was hungry. She picked up a small cake and bad just taken a bite when a voice rang out.
“Starl
Stella looked up and locked eyes with Tessa, who glanced around her. “Who did you come with? And why do you look like
that
Tessa was wearing a black deep–V dress tonight.
It had sequins that sparkled under the lights, making Stella’s outfit look even more out of place in comparison.
Tessä asked, “Did Ethan bring you?”
She figured Ethan must be trying to fix the rumors about their broken engagement.
No doubt, the Keene family must be tearing into Lillian by now.
Stella swallowed the cake in her mouth, but before she could say “no,” the words caught in her throat.
