EuropeNovelChapter 271 Blood Ties At the moment, what Stella hated most was hearing anyone from the Reed family mention "biological" It made her feel disgusted deep in her bones.
Since she was little, she had learned what real family meant-what love between relatives looked like. The Dawsons had carved that feeling into her very soul, and she had cherished it deeply.
But the Reeds had twisted her understanding of blood ties.
"Do you know why I didn't save Jonathan yesterday?" she asked.
Susan hesitated. "Why... why?" "Because he said I didn't know where to draw the line between close and distant, Stella said coldly. “He said he was my biological brother." She bit hard into the words "biological brother, her voice thick with sarcasm, Susan's breathing quickened. She didn't quite understand what Stella meant by that.
"You still don't get it!" Stella asked flatly.
Susan remained silent.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtI hate the way you people talk. I hate your so-called family affection. Biological brother?" Stella scoffed. "What a joke." If there had been real affection, maybe she could've tolerated it. But the Reeds version of love was like a sharp knife-always ready to carve pieces off you while smiling.
Stella stared at her. "I'm lucky I was actually your biological daughter. If it had been anyone else, if they hadn't died in the accident Lillian arranged, they would've been pushed to death by you-their so-called mother" Susan's voice shook. "You! Am I really that awful in your eyes?" For a split second, a chill went through Susan's body. At that moment, she even questioned herself.
What have I done to Stella? Am I really that unbearable in her eyes? Is my normal way of disciplining her what made her hateso much? Heh. Stella let out a cold laugh.
The look she gave Susan was full of ridicule. "I actually thought you'd learned your lesson. Thought you'd reflect, at least at little. What a waste.
She didn't bother finishing her sentence. Her eyes shifted to the butler.
The butler nodded. "Til take care of it right away "No! Don't Susan jumped to her feet and blocked the doorway of the tea room.
She stared at Stella in panic. "You can't do this to him. He's your...
The words "biological brother got stuck in her throat.
Because she remembered the disgust on Stella's face when she said those words earlier.
She didn't like them. She hated the whole Reed family.
She is a true ungrateful wretch, Susan thought. Why are dares to pin the blon us? the outer the ones in the wrong? Isn't this all because of her own behavior! And now the The sway they used to trample Stella, now Susan had to swallow her own pride.
She left.
She had wanted to plead for Lillian one last time. But when she saw how cruel Stella was-ready to cut off even Jonathan's medical care-Susan didn't dare say another word.
If Patrick found out she had cto see Stella and made things worse for Jonathan, they'd both be finished.
So Susan left.
Stella turned to the butler. "Go ahead" He nodded. "Yes, miss," Jonathon...
Stella had been wanting to deal with him for a long time. And now, with Abraham stepping in, she could kick him while he was down The Reed family had dumped all the blon her without a shred of reflection, so she had no reason to show them any mercy.
Susan had just left Seaflats Coven when her phone rang. It was Lillian.
"Mom ca weak voice from the other end.
Susan's heart twisted in pain.
In such a short time, the whole Reed family had fallen apart. None of them had the strength to stand up to Stella anymore. "Mom, please save me.., It hurts so bad..." Back at the Reed mansion, Lillian was alone with only the servants: Ravaged by illness, all her hair had fallen out.
The pain was unbearable. She couldn't sleep. Her whole body m spasmed. Every bone, every joint, every inch of her flesh felt like it was burning "Did Star agree to letgo abroad?" Lillian had never felt such despair. She truly felt life slipping away from her, Especially last night. She couldn't sleep at all. Her dreams were full of nightmares.
Stella! It's all because of Stella! She leavessick and untreated, and now "Lillian... Susan's voice trembled.
"Mom, I can't take it anymore. I didn't sleep at all last night. It hurts so much. Please... please talk to Star.
