Chapter 71 Her Own Studio
The naughty one made her angry, while the good one was sick, and it broke her heart.
“I heard Ethan is trying to find a way to get you a place to recover. He’s been so good to you. But then, the Keene family…
The mention of the Keene family made Susan’s anger flare. She couldn’t help but think about how cruel the family had been. They had torn apart two lovers. If only Lillian and Ethan had stayed together, they’d be fine by now. But now, this whole mess. was unfolding. Their biological daughter hadn’t been accepted into the Keene family, and their adopted daughter was also being rejected.
All of this because of Stella, that useless girl! And now, the Keene family kept pressuring their company. It was all Stella’s fault. “Mom, my health is a mess, but Ethan still takes care of me. I’m already grateful.”
“It’s so hard on you. If we hadn’t gone looking for Stella, the Keene family wouldn’t have known you were adopted. You and Ethan would have been together and married by now.”
“Don’t say that. She’s your daughter. You did the right thing by looking for her.”
Every word Lillian said showed such understanding, which made Susan feel even more heartbroken.
If only Stella had half of Lillian’s understanding
“You’re so understanding. Susan said, her heart aching for Lillian.
After talking for a while. Ethan arrived with some food that was good for Lillian. When Susan saw him, she discreetly stepped away, giving them space.
After all, there was no hope from Stella. Even though the Keene family didn’t think highly of Lillian, she wasn’t worried. At least Ethan was still here. If the Keene family really wanted to stir up trouble for the Reed family, they’d first have to deal with
Ethan.
Now, it was just Ethan and Lillian.
Lillian noticed that Ethan had a cast on his left wrist and fr
froze for a moment. “Ethan? What happened to your hand?”
When Ethan heard Lillian’s question, his face darkened. At that moment, Lillian felt a sudden urge to find the man who had hurt him and tear him apart. She wanted him dead.
“It’s nothing, just a fall.”
“How careless. That must hurt, right?” Lillian’s tone was full of concern.
Ethan opened the food container with one hand and didn’t answer her question. He softly said, “This soup is good for your body–drink more of it.”
When she noticed he wasn’t responding, especially since his face looked pale, Lillian started to piece together what might have happened. “You don’t need to keep running around like this.”
Ethan responded, Tm busy during the day, but I want to spend time with you at night.”
That made Lillian feel touched. She looked at Ethan, wanting to say something but hesitating. Ethan noticed and softened his tone. “What’s wrong?”
Lillian finally spoke, “It’s Star. Just now, Mom told me she opened a studio, and last year, she made over 7 million. So much money… I don’t know how she did it.”
“A studio?”
Lillian nodded. “Yeah, even Mom didn’t know. Last year, she opened a studio and made over 7 million.”
7 million wasn’t a huge amount for Ethan but for Lillian, it was a big sum, especially considering Stella earned it on her own.

+8 Pearls
Dinner at Verdant Villa was delicious tonight. Stella couldn’t help herself and had three bowls. She only realized the chef was from Falvaria when she drank the second bowl of soup.
Just as she was about to continue, Abraham’s call came in. “Aren’t you worried about getting fat after eating so much?”
Stella froze, glanced at the butler, who quickly looked away. Stella muttered, “Wasn’t it you who always wanted me to gain weight?”
Back in Falvaria, especially when she was younger, her baby fat had been notorious. She was only ten but would constantly complain about wanting to lose weight.
Abraham chuckled. “You were younger then. Now that you’re growing up, don’t you want to look beautiful anymore!”
Typical girl problem–wanting to look beautiful.
Stella put her spoon down decisively. “When are you coming back?”
“Soon. Go to bed early.”
“Okay”
When Stella heard voices in the background, she didn’t say much more and hung up obediently.
Abraham was in a private room. Victor, sitting next to him, couldn’t help but ask. “Who was that? So gentle.
Victor was someone Abraham had met two years ago. They had become friends after a bit of a clash. The fall of the Tom family was largely due to the alliance between Victor and Abraham.
