Chapter 43 She Might Not Want to Marry Him.
“Ambulance! Call an ambulance now!”
Jonathan felt like his balls had shattered.
Stella was a girl, and she actually kicked a guy in that important spot. She wasn’t even ashamed.
Jonathan was furious.
Ethan saw Jonathan suffer at Stella’s hands and stormed toward her, angry. “What the hell are you doing? I’m telling you right now, even if you flip all of Rivermount upside down, I still won’t marry you.”
Stella and Eddie were both speechless.
Ethan’s cold, unyielding attitude, like he wouldn’t sacrifice for anyone, made Eddie glance over at Stella.
And it was also those very words that made everyone around them look at Stella with even more contempt.
A few nosy ones started whispering on the spot.
“Didn’t she say that she was breaking off the engagement with Mr. Keene? What? Does she regret it now?”
“And even if she does, so what? Mr. Keene obviously has no intention of marrying her
“Honestly, a woman needs to know how to behave sometimes. Look at her, acting like a total shrew. No wonder the Reed family and Mr. Keene both don’t like her. She is acting like that, who would like her?”
Just as Ethan was about to say more, his phone suddenly buzzed.
It was a picture from Susan. Lillian was lying curled up on a hospital bed, clearly in pain. Her hair was soaked in cold sweat.
Seeing Lillian like that made Ethan’s heart ache.
His rage toward Stella, which had been boiling, instantly quieted down.
He looked at Stella and grabbed her wrist. “Can we not do this right now? Please?”
Stella frowned slightly. “Let go.”
There was a flash of disgust in her eyes–small, but Ethan noticed it clearly.
T
Is the disgusted because of Lillian? Or because of that man in her house?
At that moment, Ethan realized Stella might actually not want to marry
him.
And that realization hit Ethan like a punch to the chest.
He tightened his grip on her wrist. “Come with me.”
Stella repeated himself, “I said let go.”
Ethan turned around.
Their eyes met, and in that instant, he saw only ice–cold contempt in hers.
Her gaze was freezing. There wasn’t a trace of warmth in it.
Stella asked calmly, “Do you want to end up in the hospital like Jonathan?”
Ethan was slightly stunned.

Finished
Just last night, there’d been some random guy with her at Kingston Heights. And at the moment, there was another one.
But as soon as he got a good look at Eddie’s face, Ethan’s eyes widened.
Eddie McKenzie? Why is he here?
This was Eddie, Falvaria’s medical genius. Especially in heart surgery, he had never failed a single operation.
Over the years, countless billionaires had begged him to operate.
But for some reason, he had suddenly ended his medical career two years ago. Since then, he hadn’t taken a single patient.
Still, his name came up all the time when people talked about top–tier surgeons.
“Who I am doesn’t matter,” Eddie said quietly, eyes narrowed. “But if you don’t let go of her, Mr. Keene, I can guarantee. you’re not walking out of this party alive tonight.”
The dangerous glint in his usually gentle eyes was sharp and deadly.
Even Stella, who knew him well, felt her heart tighten.
That one sentence sent a chill down Ethan’s spine like he’d never felt before.
And slowly, inch by inch, he loosened his grip on Stella’s wrist.
Stella behind him.
The moment she was free, Eddie pulled St
He leaned down and asked her in a low voice, “Are you okay?”
“I’m fine.” Stella said as she rubbed her sore wrist.
Eddie threw Ethan’s hand aside and looked at Stella with soft affection. “Are you full?”
Stella was speechless. I’ve only had one bite!
But with this crowd around, she didn’t feel like eating anymore. So she just nodded. “Yeah.”
“Good. Then let’s go. The air here is disgusting.” Eddie didn’t bother hiding his contempt.
And with that, he walked out with Stella.
Everyone at the party was stunned, especially Ethan, when he saw the way Eddie treated Stella.
Why is Eddie treating her like that? What’s really going on between him and Stella? And that armed man at Kingston Heights last night, he looks like someone important too.
