Chapter 48 She Misses You

Abraham looked at Ste. 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, Ste nodded. “Okay.”

bAbraham /blet go of her and turned to bleaver /b

Ste stayed where she was, her heart still thumping wildly. She nced at the bss /bof milk bAbraham /bhad 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 bher /bold 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. Ste nced at the bscreen/b. It bwas /banother 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?”

“Ste, you b*tch!” Sharon’s furious voice sted through the phone. Clearly, Louis had gone back and taken it out on her.

Ste wasn’t one to take things lying down. She snapped right back, “Are you mentally ill, dumba*s?”

That was just Ste.

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 btake /bthe loss. That just wasn’t bher/b,

bSharon /bsneered. “Me? A dumba*s? What the hell are you evenb? /bNo wonder Ethan dumped you. He’d have to be crazy to want a two–faced tramp like you.”

Ste bshot /bback, “Are you blind? 1 dumped him publicly.”

She had never cared to deal bwith /bpeople like Sharon.

Sharon was tight with Lillian. If bSharon /bhated her, it was definitely because of Lillian. No doubt about it,

Sharon hissed, “You dumped him? Don’t make meugh. You just found someone richer, didn’t you? Let me tell you. something. Ste, you’ll regret this

Ste clenched her bjaw/b, ready to snap

bBut /bbefore she could speak, Sharon kept going, voice dripping with mockeryb. /b“Het you haven’t heard, bhuh/b? Ethan’s bspending /bbillions on Lillian. He’s buying the Verdant Vi in Seats Cove. bYou /beven know bwhat /bbthat /bis?”

Ste froze Ethan wants to buy Ferdant Pir

Chapter 48 She Misses You

bSharon /bclearly had been chewed out by Louis. Now she was venting nonstop.

Ste chuckled coldly. “Verdant Vib? /bYou sure bEthan’s /bbuying it for bLillian/b?”

“He’s balready /bworking on it! Just you wait! You’ll never have that kind of life.”

Ste 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.

Ste hung up.

Wasting time on people like Sharon was just wasting sleep.

Right after the

that, another call came bin/bb. /bIt was Tessa.

Ste picked up. “Tess.”

“I just heard Ethan’s trying to buy Verdant Vi for Lillian. He’s tearing the ce apart trying to find out who owns Seats Cove. Has he lost bhis /bbmind/b?”

Ste didn’t say anything.

Tessa went bon/b, “And the Keene family isn’t stopping him?”

She’d already been disgusted by bLillian /bcountless times. Now, seeing her show off like this, Tessa couldn’t take it banymore/b.

That adopted daughter from the Reed family had elbowed out the real one and tried to grab everything for herself. Now she was unting her status like the whole city needed to bknow /bhow important she was. It was just absurd.

Ste knew Tessa couldn’t bstand /bLillian. She snorted. “Don’t worry. Whether the Keene family steps in or not, Ethan’s never going to get Verdant Vi.”

“Oh How can you tell?”

“He’s been eyeing Seats 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 bjust /bLillian trying to pressure him.”
