Chapter 95 The Ones Who Should Be Worried
Stella had no idea there would be so many aftershocks from the hospital incident earlier this evening.
This evening she had dinner with Abraham as usual before he went into the study.
Abel joined him soon after.
Stella had just finished her shower and was lying on the bed when her phone rang. It was Tessa.
“Star, I just got word. Ethan and Jonathan are working together to shut down your studio. My mom even got an internal memo saying that absolutely no one is allowed to work with you. She told me to let
Shut down my studio?
They used to do things quietly in the shadows, but now they were making moves in the open?
Ha How much did these people adore Lillian?
you know.
“Please thank Madam Diana for me and tell her I have a lot of projects. She doesn’t have to put herself in a difficult position.”
“She gave you a huge project.
Stella blinked. UM too.
Tessa sounded a bit jealous. And I couldn’t deny it, I liked Madam Diana too.
“Then really help me thank her
“No problem. Do you need anything else from me? I don’t think so. Just let Mr. Abraham take care of them.
If this was before, I might have been really worried that Stella wouldn’t be able to handle the Reeds and their little gang.
But now? Not anymore.
With such a powerful person behind her, those people could be crushed in a matter of minutes.
Stella chuckled. “No need to bother Abraham. I have plans of my own.
“… Tessa was speechless.
“If he interferes, it’ll all be over too q quickly. That’s no fun”
Tessa laughed. “True. This Lillian witch deserves to be taken apart slowly. Giving her a quick ending is letting her off easy.”
Hearing Stella so calm, Tessa finally relaxed.
They chatted for a while before hanging up.
Right after that, another call came in from an unknown number.
This time, Stella didn’t ignore it. She answered it. “Hello?”
“Was it Eddie who bailed you out? Or was it this man?”
Ethan’s gravelly voice came over the line.
Stella couldn’t even figure out what exactly he was angry about. Was he angry that they hadn’t managed to arrest me?
Well yes. At the time, Ethan, Jonathan, and Susan had all hoped I’d pay the price for Lillian.
But look how that turned out. All their righteous anger now just looked like ridiculous, smug arrogance.

“You’re disgusting, Stella. Why do you degrade yourself like this?”
“Well, staying pure for you obviously wasn’t the answer, because you weren’t worth it Stella said.
Ethan fell silent.
That mouth of hers… Right now I honestly felt like sewing it shut
“Where are you?”
“What for?” Stella asked back
I’m on my way to Kingston Heights. You better tell that man to get lost before I get there!
“You really dare to go back to Kingston Heights? Is your hand even healed?” Stella mocked
Her words hung in the air, suffocating
On the other side, Ethan instinctively looked down at his left hand, still in a cast.
He clenched his teeth so hard it was audible through the phone.
+8 Pearls
Stella laughed out loud. “Trying to get justice for Lillian? Well, I’m afraid justice is out of your reach. Just concentrate on keeping yourself safe and don’t mess with the men around me again”
“Stella Dawson!”
Ethan’s voice rose sharply.
But she had already hung up.
When he heard the empty “beep beep,” Ethan snapped and threw the phone across the car.
I had never been so humiliated in my life. No one in Rivermount had ever dared to challenge me like that.
“If you don’t find out who this man is by tonight, you’re done.”
Jason, who was driving in front, jerked so hard he almost lost control. A cold sweat broke out on his back
Even now they still hadn’t found out the identity of this man.
But Ethan was desperate. I had to know who the man with Stella really was.
No one in Rivermount had ever heard of someone like that suddenly appearing.
And thy is Stella teith someone like him?
Just thinking about this man made Ethan angry again.
He lit a cigarette and took a hard drag. “I don’t care what it takes. Call William if you have to.”
Jason froze.
Even William
That meant the identity of this man had become a top priority.
Jason nodded. “Understood”
