Chapter 72 She’s Rich
Having known <b>Abraham </b>for so long. Victor had never seen <b>him </b>this gentle.
Abraham chuckled softly, and there was a trace of tenderness in his eyes. The kids at home, they’re not very obedient.
“You have kids? I didn’t know that
The mention of “kids”pletely stunned Victor, and his eyes widened <b>in </b>shock.
Abraham said, “My sister.”
“You mean Marie<b>?</b>”
Abraham also had a younger sister, Marie Dawson, a fraternal twin to him.
Victor said, “But she’s not a kid, right?”
She was the same age as him, so how could she be considered a child?
Abraham replied, “It’s not Marie. I have another younger sister who went missing a few years ago, but we <b>just </b>found her. She’s a bit of a handful
Victor asked, “Another one?” This is nes
to me
But as Abraham spoke <b>about </b><b>this </b>sister with so much affection in his eyes, Victor could tell she must be adorable.
Ste felt she needed to get Kimmy to help her set up a work phone <b>to </b>separate her personal and professional life. Otherwise, these people wouldn’t leave her alone.
Ethan growled into the phone. “You have a studio, and I <b>had </b>no idea<b>?</b>”
Ste replied, “What’s the problem? Do I need to report to you about having a studio?”
Haven’t I made things clear enough these past few days? Or have I been too weak before that these people felt entitled to keep questioning
Me?
It <b>was </b>just too much.
<b>Ethan </b>said, “How many things are you hiding from me?”
“Do I need to hide anything from you? What’s it to you? Is Lillian’s illness <b>not </b>enough for you? She has three types of cancer, and you still haven’t helped her find a decent burial spot. Why do you keep bothering me?”
Ethan <b>was </b>beyond furious as he shouted, “Ste!”
Especially at the mention of “burial spot. Anyone close to Lillian would be sensitive to those words. It was a curse.
Ste said, “Why are you yelling?”
Ethan growled. “Just you wait
With a sharpmand, he hung up. Ste heard the beeping sound from the phone, and scoffed!
Fine, I’d wait. She e was curious to see what Ethan would do next.
<b>Ethan </b>was seething with rage.
When he found out about Ste’s studio and how <b>much </b>money she had made <bst </b>year, his face turned livid with anger. He took a long drag from the cigarette in his hand. “Do you think this situation looks like a joke?”
figured out most of the rent payment dates for the Kingston Heights tenants, nning that with the high rent. Ste would eventually break down and give in. But….
Ste owned the house at Kingston Heights. She had even made over 7 millionst year. She had money, she had a house, and cutting her off financially was utterly ridiculous.
To put it bluntly, you <b>still </b>don’t understand Ms. Dawson, Jason said.
Hearing this. Ethan found it even more mocking. Ste <b>had </b>been his fiancée for two years, and he didn’t even truly know her. Thinking about <b>how </b>she had deceived him. Ethan lost all sense of reason.
“Go take care of it.
Take care of what?”
“Anyone who dares to cooperate with her studio is going against us, the Keene family.”
<b>Jason </b><b>was </b>stunned. “But… This isn’t a good idea.
“I want her studio shut down within a week. Ethan didn’t give Jason a chance to <b>speak</b>.
Jason <b>broke </b>into a cold <b>sweat</b>. “But the man behind her… Jason didn’t dare to finish his sentence.
If Ste really had someone backing her up, it was clear they wouldn’t be able to suppress her.
Ethan said. “Tll find out who this man behind her really is.
A man? Since they couldn’t find anything on him, he would see <b>who </b>would step in to help her this time.
Jason understood what Ethan meant and nodded. “Got it.”
Once the news about Ste’s studio spread, the entire Reed family was thrown into chaos.
Especially when they found out that Ste also owned the house at Kingston Heights–it caused an even bigger stir.
At the hospital
“Tell me, how many th
things has she been hiding from us?” Susan fumed as she paced the room<b>. </b>
