Chapter 53 Who Dares Block Her

Just as she stepped outside. Stella received a phone call from Kimmy, reminding her not to forget a certain document
Only then did Stella remember that the file was still upstairs in her room
“Abraham, go on without me, I have to get a file. Or if you’re not in a hurry, you can wait for me
As soon as she finished speaking, she let go of Abraham’s arm and turned to run back inside.
Watching her cheerful back, Abraham couldn’t help but smile indulgently.
“Still so carefree
Abel also looked in the direction she had disappeared and commented, “She never had to worry about anything before. Now that she’s running her own business, she’s finally learning to be responsible.”
The mention of her running her own business made the affection in Abraham’s eyes even more evident.
The little girl has grown up.
Abel nodded. “She has.”
They got into the car.
Abraham checked the time on his watch. “Have the butler send another car for her. We’ll go ahead.”
“Got IL”
As he started the engine, Abel also called the intercom to arrange for another car to Once everything was arranged, they drove off.
o pick up Stella later.
As they approached the gates, they saw Ethan leaning against his car while Jason talked to security.
“Mr. Abraham, this is Mr. Keene
Abraham lifted his eyelids and looked out the window.
Sure enough, there was Ethan, leaning against the Falcon with a cigarette in his hand, his face dark..
Abel commented, “I didn’t expect him to show up himself just to buy this place for the adopted daughter of the Reed family,
Not only did he offer a sky–high price, but he came in person,
How important was that girl to him?
Abraham’s gaze turned cold. “Tell the butler not to answer him.”
Important!
The more
ore important it is. the harder it is to get. That kind of frustration only makes people more desperate.
Abel replied, “Alright.”
He quickly called the butler and relayed Alaraham’s message word for word.
The butler replied, “We ignored him.”

Meanwhile. Ethan saw a luxury Augury rolling out of the estate and looked at Jason, who had returned from his failed negotiation attempt

“No” Jason shook his head.
In the place had always been empty
He turned back, ready to talk to the security again, but they were professionally trained.
When it came to sensitive matters like the whereabouts of the owner, their mouths were tightly sealed
Soon after, another car drove out at a moderate speed.
Ethan ordered. “Stop that car”
They probably live here”
Jason immediately stepped into the street and raised his hand.
Inside the car the drivers face darkened as he saw someone blocking the road.
In the back seat. Stella was going through some documents when the driver shouted. “Ms. Dawson, someone’s blocking the road
Stella looked up to see Jason standing in the middle of the road, a Falcon parked off to the side
She recognized the car. It is Eren’s
Just go. Don’t stop
These people were getting really bold
The driver got the message and stepped on the gas
Jason’s heart skipped a beat when he saw the car speed up instead of slowing down.
Security rushed over. “Hey, what are you doing? Are you trying to get yourself killed! Get out of the way!”
One of the guards started to pull Jason back when a sudden force pushed him aside, it was Ethan who had kicked him out of
Seeing the chaos up ahead, especully with their own security involved, the driver hesitated.

Stella saw it too and sighed. “Stop the car,”
If it had just been Jason alone. I would have let him pump for safety. But now it was going
I might be ruthless, but I wasn’t heartless enough to run a few people over on a public road just to get away
The car came to a forced stop.
Before Ethan could approach with an angry face, Stella had already rolled down the window
Their eyes met.
When Ethan saw who was inside, his pupils contracted involuntarily.
You
Stella laughed sarcastically. Yeah, me. Surprised?”
“What are you doing here!
Ethan asked through gritted teeth
I still hadn’t gotten over seeing a man in her apartment in Kingston Heights. And now she showed up heret
“Why can’t I be here?” Stella shot back without a direct answer.
Ethan’s fists clenched.
The way he looked at her made it seem like she was a woman who had come here to sell herself.
When he spoke again, his voice was colder. “Do you even know who you are? Aren’t you ashamed enough?”
Things were already a mess.
If word got out that she had shown up at Seaflats Cove right after breaking off her engagement, it would only bring further shame to both the Reed and Keene families.
And yet, this woman had no intention of keeping a low profile.
Before Stella could answer. Ethan grabbed her and tried to pull her out of the car. “Where are you going to throw the faces of the Reed and Keene families? Just because I froze your card, you’re going to stoop so low? Don’t you know why your card was canceled?
She ended up this way because of her own choices. Shouldn’t she show some remorse?
Why humiliate herself like this?
Ethan lost his mind.
I want to take her back right now and hand her over to the Rred family for discipline
But just as he grabbed her wrist, there was a muffled thud, and he groaned in pain.

Stella had kicked him hard in
Ethan released her immediately and doubled over, both hands clutching lus stomach.

Then she gave the driver a cold command. Drive
“Stella Dawson
Ethan exploded in anger.
He tried to get up and go after her again. “Get out of here! Have you no shame!”
She really dared to get into a car. Has there anything she wouldn’t do?
Before he could touch the door, the car took off like an arrow released from the bowstring.
If Ethan hadn’t moved fast enough, the tires would have run over his feet.
“Damn it! That woman…
He was losing his mind. She was driving him crazy.
Stella was gone.

But the tension in the air hadn’t dissipated one bit. If anything, the anger she left behind was about to burn Ethan’s last vestige of sanity.
“You saw that. It was her, wasn’t it?”
Ethan glared at Jason..
Jason nodded. “Yes. I also saw Ms. Dawson here yesterday”
Yesterday too?
That damn woman. Selling herself once wasn’t enough?
How many times was she going to do it?
No wonder she didn’t care about his black card anymore. She didn’t even care if the Reed family cut off her money or not.
So that was it. A bunch of other men supported hert
Jason felt Ethan’s anger boiling and didn’t dare say much. He just gave a tiny’nod.
But even that was enough to set Ethan on fire.
“Find out who this man in Kingston Heights is. And who the hell lives here?”
What kind of taste did these men have, going after someone like Stella Dawson?
The more he thought about it, the angrier he became.
Jason was about to say that the man who owned Verdant Villa might be impossible to identify.
But then he remembered seeing Eddie with Stella at the banquet last night.
“Could this place belong to Dr. Eddier”
“A doctor?”
Ethan growled
The way he said it, it was as if he wanted to bite Jason’s head off.
Jason remained silent

After watching this, Abraham was finally sure.
Stella had no feelings for Ethan Kerme
If there had been real feelings, she would not have gone so far.
Abel nodded. “Ms. Dawson has come a long way over the years. She’s learned to protect herself.”
The words made the curve of Abraham’s lips fade slightly.
She had learned to protect herself?
Given the choice. I’d rather she stayed in those carefree years forever.
His thoughts were interrupted by the buzzing of his cell phone.
Abraham picked it up. “Hello”
“Mr. Abraham, it’s me.”
Louis’s voice came over the line.
“Please don’t hang up. Just hear me out.”
Perhaps sensing Abraham’s coldness, Louis tried to speak quickly.
Abraham responded icily “Go ahead.”
“Well, I wanted to ask…what is your relationship with Ms. Stella?”
Last night Abraham had talked business with me and suddenly backed out without warning
Furious, Louis went back and thoroughly investigated what had happened at the banquet.
Other than Sharony
n getting into a fight with Stella, there didn’t seem to be anything else of significance.
And realh Sharon clashing with Stella? That was almost routine.
Instead, Abraham responded with a question. “What do you think?”
Sharp, unforgiving.
Louis had seen all kinds of situations, so he didn’t push the issue. Instead, he tested the waters. “Maybe I can apologize to her! I looked into it. It was all Sharon’s fault. I promise I’ll make sure Ms. Dawson is satisfied. Abraham hung up without another word.
Up front, Abel had heard who was calling
lling and could pretty much guess what Louis was going to say.
Looks like Ms. Sharon got a pretty good thrashing last night.
Abraham let out a cold chuckle. “And that’s the price?”
Abel paused for a second.
Will considering how Sharon had publicly humiliated Ms. Dawson, that price was really nothing
Even though Ms. Danson had fired back, thus Mr. Abraham definitely hadn’t let it go
“What do you think Louis would have to do to really satisfy

Back at Louis side, he slammed his phone down with a face as dark as storm clouds
“All you do is eat!”
Sharon ate her breakfast carefully, trying to remain invisible
But that didn’t stop her from becoming a target.
Louis suddenly overturned the table in anger.
It happened so fast that Sharon couldnt dodge. The bowl of canneal spilled right onto her skirt.
“What’s wrong with you? You couldn’t close a deal, and now you re taking it out on
He only bullied me when Dad and Mom weren’t home, How bad could he get
If she hadn’t brought up the deal, he might have kept quiet. But now that she had. Louis locker
You will apologize to Stella right now!
Sharon looked at him incredulously. What Apologize To whom?
She thought she had misheard
Stella The biological daughter the Reed family hadn’t even bothered to take care of
The good–for–nothing Stella Dawson the the one I should apologize to!
“Have you lost your mind!
“If you don’t get her forgiveness today. I’ll show you what lost my mind really means.
Sharon’s lips twitched She began to realize that Louis wasn’t joking.
He really meant it. He wanted me to apologize to Stella.
Im not going
Without hesitation, she threw out the words with determination.
Louis growled. “Not going Fine. Then pack your things and get out of this house”
“You’re kicking me out? You.”
Just because of Stella Dawson
Sharon couldn’t believe her ears.

Louis snapped. Do you know how many people are looking at what that man is holding right now? The whole Keene family is watching hum
Not at Ethan, but many others
If anything went wrong at this point, it could completely ruin my chances of working with the man
Sharon muttered. “Is it really that serious! Then what is his relationship with Stella
How am I ever going to get that?
I and Stella Dawson had always been at odds. Every time we met, it was a showdown.
The words “It’s me” made Stella pick up on the anger in her tone.
“I need to see you,” Sharon said.
Whenever Sharon came to see me, it was never for anything good.
Stella thought she had heard wrong. “You want me to apologize? Are you at the way you are acting, and you want me to apologize to you?”
you out of your
She assumed that Sharon wanted her to apologize for what had happened at the banquet, and she wasn’t having any of it.
On the other hand, Sharon was so angry her temples were throbbing.
“What? You apologize to me?”
Now Stella really thought she had heard wrong.
Yes, I’m apologizing to you. Where are you?”
“Why are you apologizing
Los replied. “She doesn’t want it; that’s her choice. But you still have to get it
Louis was more than angry.
He knew exactly how many eyes in Rivermount were watching what Abraham held in his hands.
Every second was critical for him right now.
When Sharon saw that Stella wasn’t answering the phone and Louis was still trying to locate her, she was confused. “Why do you have to find out where she is?”
Why do you think? You made this mess. Don’t you think you should clean it up?”
Louis could barely stand to hear Sharon speak. Every word out of her mouth only increased his anger.
Stella had already embarrassed me on the phone. If I really went to her in person, who knew how far this woman would go to humiliate met
She had been Louis‘ assistant for five years, and it showed. She could handle even someone as fussy as Louis, which said a lot about her abilities.
“What is she doing there?” Louis frowned,
Sharon scoffed. “What else? She must be working. The Reeds cut her off. What choice does she have but to find a backup plan‘ She’s the only one who would settle for that kind of paycheck.”
Whenever she could belittle Stella, Sharon never missed an opportunity.
more time arguing. Louis turned and walked away.
You really want me to show up and apologize to her?”
If you don’t, you can pack your bags and leave the Parker family for good.”
Seeing how firm Louis was, she didn’t dare say another word, no matter how much she wanted to push back.
