Jonathan lay on the floor for quite a while before he could evercatch his breath, Stella’s kick had been vicious.
Abraham and Louis Parker came down from upstairs and immediately saw the dessert area in chaos not far ahead.
Tonight’s party was hosted by Louis’s family. Every bit of the design had been his own work.
While he had been talking business with Abraham, his assistant came in to report on the situation at the party. Apparently. his sister had gotten into it with the biological slaughter of the Reed family.
For some reason, Abraham’s expression darkened. As soon as he heard the assistant’s report, he got up to leave.
They hadn’t even finished their conversation, Louis started to worry that Abraham would think the chaos at the party rellected poorly on the Parker family’s upbringing
The more he thought about it, the more annoyed Louis became.
Abraham narrowed his eyes slightly as he glanced at the scene, but didn’t see Eddie or Stella anywhere.
Louis rubbed Ins temple. “Mr. Abraham, it’s not a big deal. My little sister’s always been a bit headstrong and childish. It’s just kids being kids. Why don’t we go back to the study and continue discussing the contract….
“Mr. Louis, if a man can’t even manage the members in his own home, I’ll need to reconsider whether this partnership is
worth it
Louis was taken aback. Wait, shouldn’t business and personal matters be kept separate? What does my sister’s behavior have to do with our collaboration?
Before Louis could make sense of it, Abraham was already striding down the stairs, leaving Louis completely stunned.
The ambulance arrived quickly. As they were taking Jonathan away, Sharon tried to go with him.
Louis grabbed her arm. “Where do you think you’re going?”
“Jonathan got beaten up by that b*tch Stella! Of course I’m going with him!”
Right now, she was publicly known as Jonathan’s girlfriend, so naturally she had to stay by his side.
Louis had always found this sister of his a trouble, and he looked down on the entire Reed family.
Lillian was obviously fake. He couldn’t understand what kind of nonsense had gone down between his sister and the Reed family.
Now Jonathan had been beaten like this. No need to guess, it was clearly Stella, his biological sister, who’d finally had enough and hit him again.
Seeing Sharon trying to follow, he got even more furious
Go with him! Get back to your room. You’ve embarrassed us enough!”
Sharon snappeil, “How did I embarrass you? Let go of me!”
“Clement”

When Sharon realized Louis was serious, she panicked. “What are you doing?”
Louis shot her a deadly glare. “Ill deal with you later.”
With that, he stormed out after Abraham.
Finished
It had been hard enough getting Abraham to visit Rivermount and agree to meet with him. And now this mess, thanks to that d’n Sharon.
Sharon refused to go upstairs. She wanted to see Jonathan. “Let me go! I’m going to the hospital!”
The whole scene was in chaos. The butler, Clement, worried Louis would blame him, quickly had someone drag Sharon upstairs by force.
In the car, Abraham looked visibly grim. Stella sat beside him, not daring to make a sound.
He lowered his gaze, giving her a dangerous look. “Did those people bully you?”
“Of course not.” Stella shook her head.
Eddie, sitting in front, quickly chimed in, “I can vouch for her. She really wasn’t bullied.
After what she just did, no one would dare try. Jonathan ended up in the hospital with one hit.
Still, Abraham’s face didn’t case.
Buzz buzz.
Both their phones rang at the same time.
Stella’s was from Tessa. Abraham’s was from Louis.
Stelia answered first. “Tess.”
“Star, are you okay?” Tessa asked in a low voice.
Honestly, she really wanted to ask how Stella had ended up leaving with Eddie.
He was an internationally famous heart surgeon, more renowned than Rianne. Somehow, Stella knew someone like that.
“I’m fine. I’ll take you. out for a meal tomorrow. Got to go. Stella hung up quickly.
Abraham didn’t answer his call. But when he heard Stella not only answer hers, but even make plans to treat someone to a meal, his expression turned even colder.
Louis called again. Abraham rejected the call. And this time, he blocked the number altogether.
“I really wasn’t bullied. Can you stop looking so grim?” Stella muttered.
Abraham asked, “Really?”
“Really” Stella nodded firmly
Abraham let out a cold snort. “So all these years, this is how you’ve been living?”
