Chapter 90 Jealous? Not Even Close


    Ste’s <b>voice </bced with yfulness, “I have to stop by the hospital. Should be back in about half an hour. Are you home yet?”


    Abraham answered gently. “Not yet.”


    Ste immediately said. “Okay, then I’ll head over first.”


    “You going to see someone from the Reed family? Are you really <b>that </b>bored?” Abraham chuckled.


    Ste muttered, “Well, I’m leaving for Falvaria soon. Gotta make sure I wrap things up nice and bloody.”


    Then she hung up.


    She had to deal with the Reed family one way or another, especially Lilian


    Best case? The woman drops dead from her illness before Ste leaves. If not? She would <b>personally </b>throw her into prison.


    Just as she turned around, her phone rang again. It was Tessa


    Ste answered. “Tess<b>” </b>


    Tessa sounded excited. “I found a piece of jade I like. Sending you a pic. Take a look for me?”


    “Not right now. Send it over, and I’ll check in a bit. Ste too, <b>voice </bced with excitement.


    Sensing something off, Tessa asked, “What are you up to?”


    Ste exined. “Lilian is up to her tricks again.”


    Tessa was speechless. “Three kinds of cancer and still scheming? <b>What </b>a tenacious little lotus.”


    Ste scoffed. Tell me about it. I’m going to see if she’s really sick.”


    Tessa warned, “You better. Don’t let her fake an illness and trap you with some emotional ckmail”


    “Got it” She hung up.


    in the distance, Ethan was limping toward her, clearly impatient. He looked pitiful. Honestly, she could have kicked <b>harder</b>.


    “Finished your call?” His voice was sharp.


    Ste tucked her phone away. <b>“</b>Let’s go.”


    She figured <b>half </b>an hour was enough. What she did not expect was how far the hospital was. It took forty minutes just to get there.


    In the hospital room, Ste <b>sat </b>with her legs crossed, casually filing her nails. She had broken one while hitting <b>Sharon </b><b>and </b>had not had time to fix it.


    Lilian stared at her, hatred boiling under her calm surface.


    How could she sit there looking so indifferent?


    She turned to <b>Ethan</b>. “<b>Ethan</b>, could you step outside? I need a moment with Ste.”


    <b>Ethan </b>hesitated. With Ste’s history, like the time she attacked Lilian in front of the Keene Group’s building, he was not confident about leaving.


    <b>But </b>Lilian insisted. “It’s <b>okay</b><b>. </b>I’ll be careful.”

    +8 Pearls


    If Lilian was asking for it, cancer or not, s


    or not, she would serve it up.


    <b>The </b>word ‘tolerance‘ <b>had </b>long been erased from her dictionary.


    She <b>had </b>suffered <b>enough </b>under the Tom family’s threats back in Falvaria.


    Now that the Reed family could not touch Abraham? Why should she put up with anything?


    “You…!” Ethan was seething.


    Lilian gently cut in, “It’s <b>fine</b>, Ethan. Don’t judge <b>Ste </b>so harshly. I’ll be careful.”


    Even as she spoke, her voice sweet, she was reveling in his concern.


    Ethan gave onest reluctant nod and stepped out but did not go far. He stood just outside the door, ready to rush in at any


    sound.


    Once it was just the two of them, Ste did not even <b>nce </b>at Lilian.


    Seeing her so dismissive only made Lilian angrier.


    Lilian purposely brought up. “<b>Ethan’s </b>buying Verdant Vi for me. You know that, <b>don’t </b>you?”


    “We’ve already talked about this on the phone,” Ste repliedzily. “I told you, you won’t get to live there.”


    Lilian’s voice <b>was </bced with hope and flex. “But Ethan said it’s <b>already </b>bought. Just waiting to finalize things. Soon, I’ll be moving in to recover.”


    Ste raised a brow. That’s what he told you?”


    Bought it? Ha. Ethan was clearly just trying to pacify her.


    Lilian nodded smugly. Jealous?”


    Ste rolled her eyes. “Wow, congrattions. Let me know when you’re moving in. Throw a party, yeah? Don’t forget to invite <ol><li>me. </li></ol>


    “Oh, you’ll be invited, Lilian said <b>with </b><b>a </b>sweet smile. “Within half a month, I’ll be living there.”


    Verdant Vi


    A prime piece of real estate every wealthy family in the city had tried to buy for years.


    And now? They were <b>all </b>scrambling to find out who the mysterious owner was, hoping to marry their daughters into that
