Chapter 40 Your Sister
Finished
When she saw the report, which said that from beginning to end, Ste had never resisted, she couldn’t hear it anymore. wrapped in the dangerous air surrounding the <b>man</b>. He won’t marry mel
That was the truth. She had never strongly resisted this matter because she knew Ethan wouldn’t marry her
Especially since Lillian would never allow it, and also because she didn’t know the Tom family had all died,
She worried that those people were watching <b>her </b>from the shadows, and if she ever rebelled, it might endanger <b>Abraham</b>.
“Well, you saw it yourself. He left me for another woman.
Abraham remained silent.
The words “another woman” instantly brought the atmosphere in the car down again.
Although Abraham had already been unhappy about Ste and Ethan, the fact that Ethan had abandoned her for someone else made him even more upset.
The girl he had raised so carefully, treated like a treasure, yet she had been wronged by another man.
A shadow passed through Abraham’s eyes. No one could tell what kind of danger was hidden deep within them at that
moment
When the car stopped, Ste realized Abraham had brought her to <b>a </b>party.
She recognized this ce. It belonged to the well–respected <b>Parker </b>family of Rivermount.
For the past few years, the Reed family had always attended Michael Parker’s birthday party. If she remembered correctly. someone had mentionedst year that he would be turning 80 this <b>year</b>.
Judging from how extravagant the party looked tonight, it was clearly grander than in previous years.
Luxury cars filled the lot, and the lights were as bright as day.
Abel opened the car door respectfully. “Mr. <b>Abraham</b>, Mr. Louis is waiting for <b>you</b><b>. </b>
Abraham nodded <b>and </b>nced at Ste <b>beside </b>him. “Are you hungry?”
Ste looked at the time on her phone. “A little”
time now.
<b>She </b>had always eaten on time. It was about that if
Abraham said, “If you’re hungry, go get something to eat at the party. I’ll talk with Mr. Louis for about half an hour.”
<b>Ste </b>was slightly taken aback. So he’s here to talk business? I thought we’re here to celebrate a birthday.
She nced outside at the stream of well–dressed guests–men in tailored suits, women in dresses of every color.
Then she looked down at her own loose, casual zer and the simple white sneakers she’d thrown on earlier. “Well… I’m going in like this?
Abraham asked. “Is there a problem?”
Ste had no idea how to respond. Is there not a problem
Abel said. “There’s no problem

Ste nodded. “The Parker family’s chef cooks really well.”
Eddie was speechless
Hut, what? She’s eaten all kinds of delicacies back in Falvaria, and she still thinks the Parker chef’s food is good?
<b>Abraham </b><b>gave </b>Eddie a look.

Eddie immediately put his phone away. “Alright. Your sister is my sister. I won’t let her go hungry. Go do your business.
She <b>really </b>was someone Abraluun treasured like a gem.
He’d worried about her going hungry, even when she was <b>a </b><b>kid</b>,Vand now that she was all grown up, he still acted like she couldn’t take care of herself.
Abraham’s expression turnes cold. “Who said she’s your sister?”
Eddie’s mouth twitched. Fine. I won’t let your sister go hungry”
<b>Talking </b>back to Abraham <b>was </b>like digging your <b>own </b>grave.
Abraham walked off.
Eddie looked at Ste. “Come on, let’s go get some food,
Abraham hadn’t gone far, and even his back seemed to <b>chill </b>at those words.
Even Eddie, standing at a distance, felt it. He didn’t dare joke around anymore.
And just like <b>that</b>, dressed casually, Ste entered the <b>extravagant </b>party scene with Eddie by her side,pletely out of ce.
Eddie led <b>her </b>straight to the dessert <b>table</b>.
“You <b>eat </b>first. My <b>game </b>isn’t over yet.”
With such a huge spread of desserts, it should be enough.
He found a seat nearby and sat down.
Sie really was hungry. She picked up a small cake and bad just taken a bite when a voice rang out.
“Starl
Ste looked up <b>and </b>locked eyes with Tessa, who nced around her. “Who did youe with? <b>And </b>why do you look like
that
Tessa was wearing a ck deep–V dress tonight.
It had sequins that <b>sparkled </b>under the lights, making Ste’s outfit look even more out of ce inparison.
<b>Tess? </b>asked, “Did Ethan bring you?”
She figured Ethan must be trying to fix the rumors about their broken engagement.
No doubt, the Keene family must be tearing into Lillian by now.
Ste swallowed the <b>cake </b>in her mouth, but before she could say “no,” the words caught in her throat.
