Chapter 90 Jealous? Not Even Close
Stella’s voice laced with playfulness, “I have to stop by the hospital. Should be back in about half an hour. Are you home yet?”
Abraham answered gently. “Not yet.”
Stella immediately said. “Okay, then I’ll head over first.”
“You going to see someone from the Reed family? Are you really that bored?” Abraham chuckled.
Stella muttered, “Well, I’m leaving for Falvaria soon. Gotta make sure I wrap things up nice and bloody.”
Then she hung up.
She had to deal with the Reed family one way or another, especially Lilian
Best case? The woman drops dead from her illness before Stella leaves. If not? She would personally throw her into prison.
Just as she turned around, her phone rang again. It was Tessa
Stella answered. “Tess”
Tessa sounded excited. “I found a piece of jade I like. Sending you a pic. Take a look for me?”
“Not right now. Send it over, and I’ll check in a bit. Stella too, voice laced with excitement.
Sensing something off, Tessa asked, “What are you up to?”
Stella explained. “Lilian is up to her tricks again.”
Tessa was speechless. “Three kinds of cancer and still scheming? What a tenacious little lotus.”
Stella scoffed. Tell me about it. I’m going to see if she’s really sick.”
Tessa warned, “You better. Don’t let her fake an illness and trap you with some emotional blackmail”
“Got it” She hung up.
in the distance, Ethan was limping toward her, clearly impatient. He looked pitiful. Honestly, she could have kicked harder.
“Finished your call?” His voice was sharp.
Stella tucked her phone away. “Let’s go.”
She figured half an hour was enough. What she did not expect was how far the hospital was. It took forty minutes just to get there.
In the hospital room, Stella sat with her legs crossed, casually filing her nails. She had broken one while hitting Sharon and had not had time to fix it.
Lilian stared at her, hatred boiling under her calm surface.
How could she sit there looking so indifferent?
She turned to Ethan. “Ethan, could you step outside? I need a moment with Stella.”
Ethan hesitated. With Stella’s history, like the time she attacked Lilian in front of the Keene Group’s building, he was not confident about leaving.
But Lilian insisted. “It’s okay. I’ll be careful.”

If Lilian was asking for it, cancer or not, s
or not, she would serve it up.
The word ‘tolerance‘ had long been erased from her dictionary.
She had suffered enough under the Tom family’s threats back in Falvaria.
Now that the Reed family could not touch Abraham? Why should she put up with anything?
“You…!” Ethan was seething.
Lilian gently cut in, “It’s fine, Ethan. Don’t judge Stella so harshly. I’ll be careful.”
Even as she spoke, her voice sweet, she was reveling in his concern.
Ethan gave one last reluctant nod and stepped out but did not go far. He stood just outside the door, ready to rush in at any
sound.
Once it was just the two of them, Stella did not even glance at Lilian.
Seeing her so dismissive only made Lilian angrier.
Lilian purposely brought up. “Ethan’s buying Verdant Villa for me. You know that, don’t you?”
“We’ve already talked about this on the phone,” Stella replied lazily. “I told you, you won’t get to live there.”
Lilian’s voice was laced with hope and flex. “But Ethan said it’s already bought. Just waiting to finalize things. Soon, I’ll be moving in to recover.”
Stella raised a brow. That’s what he told you?”
Bought it? Ha. Ethan was clearly just trying to pacify her.
Lilian nodded smugly. Jealous?”
Stella rolled her eyes. “Wow, congratulations. Let me know when you’re moving in. Throw a party, yeah? Don’t forget to invite
- me.
“Oh, you’ll be invited, Lilian said with a sweet smile. “Within half a month, I’ll be living there.”

And now? They were all scrambling to find out who the mysterious owner was, hoping to marry their daughters into that
