?Chapter 1294:


    Amoura’s face flushed with anger, and for a moment she was at a loss for words.


    “Tread carefully,” Ste continued. “If you want to raise your status, marry Bryan’s grandfather, but remember, you won’t be buried together after death. If you don’t like that, marry Bryan’s father instead. I can arrange for you to be buried with us in the future. After all, Bryan’s stepmother is nowhere to be found. “This is insane!” Amoura eximed, pushing Presley forward. “Just look at her. She’s still so young.”


    “So what if she’s young?” Ste said. “She’s a divorced woman now. She already has a child with someone.” Amoura waspletely speechless.


    Ste leaned back on the sofa and sipped her water quietly before speaking again. “Make your choice, Presley. If you’re not ready, then go.”


    Presley clenched her fists, her ears flushing with a mixture of shame and anger as she looked at the photos, drawn especially to Bryan’s youthful yet strikingly handsome face.


    “You call me crazy, but aren’t you the one trying to get Bryan to divorce his wife? Isn’t that just as crazy? What you’re doing is bad, and I guarantee you’re going to get


    karma for it.” Ste set down her ss of water with a sharp clink. “Do you really think the Dawson family is just an ordinary family that anyone can join?” She gave Presley a quick look and added, “I’m getting on in years and I’ve stepped away from the Dawson family affairs. But take my advice: If you value your life, don’t make trouble for my family. I’m not blind to your little tricks, you know.”


    Amoura stepped forward, ready to say something, but Ste interjected sharply, “As for you, don’t think that changing your appearance means you can mess with the Dawson family again… If you continue to do so, 1’1! < reveal exactly who you are!"

    Presley felt a wave of shame and confusion wash over her. She turned to Amoura, stunned by what Ste had said. What did Ste mean by Amoura changing her appearance and trying to mess with the Dawson family again? Presley''s heart skipped a beat as the implications sank in. Was this the real reason for all of Amoura''s intrigues? "Well, let''s see how this ys out." With that, Amoura turned and left.


    Presley snapped out of her daze and hurried after Amoura. Once they were in the car, Presley asked nervously, "Did you know the Dawson family before all this? Do you have a grudge against them? Did Mrs. Dawson recognize you? Did you really have stic surgery because…? "


    The car screeched to a halt, cutting Presley off.


    As the car braked abruptly, Presley’s body jerked forward, her head hitting the windshield with a sickening thud. She had forgotten to fasten her seatbelt, and the impact left her momentarily dazed.


    “Get out,” Amoura ordered coldly as she unlocked the door.


    Presley clutched her head, momentarily stunned. As she regained herposure, she parted her lips to speak, but Amoura’s piercing gaze silenced her.


    Stepping out of the car, Presley cradled her throbbing head, her mind racing with questions about Amoura''s connection to the Dawson family and the underlying tensions simmering between them.


    Eileen found the situation a bit strange.


    After she and Bryan had visited the Dawson Mansion that day, Ste starteding over frequently. Ste always imed she was here to see Gabri, but her gaze hardly strayed from Eileen.


    Whenever Eileen tried to ask Ste about it, Ste would promptly leave to y with Gabri, clearly avoiding the conversation. Eileen wasn’t the only one who noticed Ste’s odd behavior; even Le and Ruby had picked up on it.
