Chapter 48 She Misses You
Abraham looked at Stella. Her eyes dodged his gaze, her small face flushed red, and his chest tightened without warning,
“In a few days, I’ll take you back to Falvaria. Mom really misses you.”
Hearing they were going back to Falvaria, Stella nodded. “Okay.”
Abraham let go of her and turned to leaver
Stella stayed where she was, her heart still thumping wildly. She glanced at the glass of milk Abraham had brought in. It was
warm.
That was when she realized, after all these years in Rivermount, she hadn’t had milk at night even once.
So many of her old habits from home in Falvaria had faded away in the rush of life.
Now, seeing them return, she couldn’t help but feel a little bitter.
Buzz, buzz, buzz….
Her phone vibrated. Stella glanced at the screen. It was another unfamiliar number.
She didn’t want to answer and hung up straightaway.
Lately, these unknown calls were either from Ethan or someone from the Reed family.
But right after she hung up, the number called again.
In the end, she picked up. “Hello?”
“Stella, you b*tch!” Sharon’s furious voice blasted through the phone. Clearly, Louis had gone back and taken it out on her.
Stella wasn’t one to take things lying down. She snapped right back, “Are you mentally ill, dumba*s?”
That was just Stella.
Ever since she left the Dawson family, she had lived this way. If somedge hit her, she hit back. If someone cursed at her, she cursed louder.
She would never take the loss. That just wasn’t her,
Sharon sneered. “Me? A dumba*s? What the hell are you even? No wonder Ethan dumped you. He’d have to be crazy to want a two–faced tramp like you.”
Stella shot back, “Are you blind? 1 dumped him publicly.”
She had never cared to deal with people like Sharon.
Sharon was tight with Lillian. If Sharon hated her, it was definitely because of Lillian. No doubt about it,
Sharon hissed, “You dumped him? Don’t make me laugh. You just found someone richer, didn’t you? Let me tell you. something. Stella, you’ll regret this
Stella clenched her jaw, ready to snap
But before she could speak, Sharon kept going, voice dripping with mockery. “Het you haven’t heard, huh? Ethan’s spending billions on Lillian. He’s buying the Verdant Villa in Seaflats Cove. You even know what that is?”
Stella froze Ethan wants to buy Ferdant Pillar

Chapter 48 She Misses You
Sharon clearly had been chewed out by Louis. Now she was venting nonstop.
Stella chuckled coldly. “Verdant Villa? You sure Ethan’s buying it for Lillian?”
“He’s already working on it! Just you wait! You’ll never have that kind of life.”
Stella replied. “Once he actually buys it, then you can brag for Lillian.”
Finished
What an idiot. She falls all over herself to please Lillian. It’s probably just for Jonathan. Too bad. Sharon probably doesn’t even know what kind of man Jonathan is. The guy is trash, and she treats him like treasure.
Jonathan might still be single, but his kid was already two years old, born from some woman outside.
Stella hung up.
Wasting time on people like Sharon was just wasting sleep.
Right after the
that, another call came in. It was Tessa.
Stella picked up. “Tess.”
“I just heard Ethan’s trying to buy Verdant Villa for Lillian. He’s tearing the place apart trying to find out who owns Seaflats Cove. Has he lost his mind?”
Stella didn’t say anything.
Tessa went on, “And the Keene family isn’t stopping him?”
She’d already been disgusted by Lillian countless times. Now, seeing her show off like this, Tessa couldn’t take it anymore.
That adopted daughter from the Reed family had elbowed out the real one and tried to grab everything for herself. Now she was flaunting her status like the whole city needed to know how important she was. It was just absurd.
Stella knew Tessa couldn’t stand Lillian. She snorted. “Don’t worry. Whether the Keene family steps in or not, Ethan’s never going to get Verdant Villa.”
“Oh How can you tell?”
“He’s been eyeing Seaflats Cove for years. If he could’ve bought it, he would’ve done it already. The fact that you’re hearing about this now is probably just Lillian trying to pressure him.”
