Chapter 91 The Argument.
It was at this moment that Lillian was certain that she was going to live there, and she would be thedy of the house.
And so, she would be the object of envy of all women in the entire Rivermount.
“Ste, I remember I told you to leave Rivermount. Everything here doesn’t belong to you: Lillian spoke word by word, her tone full of triumph and satisfaction.
Ste remembered her saying something simr when she returned here – Lillian telling her to leave Rivermount, insisting <b>that </b>everything here didn’t belong to her, and the Reed family wasn’t the ce she should return to, even while she was still lying ill in bed.
Ste smirked, “You are quite arrogant, aren’t you?”
For <b>an </b>adopted <b>daughter </b>to be this overbearing – it was trulyughable.
Lillian said, “Well, have you made up your mind to leave?”
“Leave? Do you think I, Ste, would be intimidated by you? Still trying to threaten me over here? Howughable!” Ste replied.
Lillian said. “I knew it, you have your workshop here, and you can earn up to 980,000 dors annually. But rest assured, that ce would not exist anymore soon.”
As she spoke, the smugness in her tone grew stronger.
On the other <b>hand</b>, <b>a </b>coldness crept deep in Ste’s eyes as she said. “What do you mean?”
Lillian continued. Jonathan and Ethan have teamed up. Are you aware of it? They want <b>to </b>shut down your studio.
Ste felt unsurprised by this news. When <b>Ethan </b>and Jonathan became aware of her studio, they were sure to sabotage it behind the scenes, Ste <b>was </b>fully expecting it.
But now hearing her in her embellishing <b>tone</b>, she sneered; the chill in her eyes deepened.
Lillian <b>said</b>, “Your dearest family never epted you, and Ethan never treated you sincerely either.”
“Ste, it has been some time since you returned to Rivermount. You have nothing over here. Why insist on staying here and making things hard for yourself? Leaving here soon would do everybody <b>good </b>
Ste replied, “You’re that eager to see me leave?”
Arching her brows, Ste <b>cast </b>her gaze at her <b>as </b><b>she </b>stopped filing her <b>nails</b>–Lillian’s gaze <b>was </b>more profound than ever.
Seeing her try so hard to drive her away, Ste sneered, “So desperate to drive <b>me </b><b>off</b>, Lillian, let me guess <b>you</b>….
“I have nothing to rush about,” Lillian interrupted Ste’s words as her heart skipped a beat. She was feeling more guilty than
ever
If Ste were to get hold of it, things would get out of control. Lillian thought,
In her lifted brows, Ste sneered, “Is that so? You seem to be awfully anxious,”
Lillian remained silent.
It <b>was </b>true that she wanted Ste to leave Rivermount, the sooner the better. She couldn’t let her stay here anymore. The man was back for her. If Ste were to get a hold on her, she was concerned that things might take an unexpected turn.
She was also worried that the 140,000 dors this time was only the b
the beginning.
Thus<b>, </b>no matter what, Ste had to leave.
+B Pearls
Ste replied, “Oh?”
Lillian continued, “With all that money, you could move to a small city in the third- or fourth–tier region and live your own merry life without having to worry about food and shelter.”
What she said was true. The money she gained from selling the house in Kingston Heights, plus what she earned, amounted to more <b>than </b>a million and 370 thousand dors.
With this amount of money in a <b>small </b>city, it certainly would allow for a rxed and plentiful life.
Ste refuted, “But what do I do? I don’t want to leave, yet you are trying to make me leave? I want to stay here and watch you die before I leave. So, when are you dying?”
Using the <b>cold</b>, stiff face of the Dawson family to provoke me? Fine, let’s see who gets provoked first. Ste thought.
As expected, herstment sure hit her <b>hard</b>.
Lillian was suffering from three kinds of serious illnesses. What she couldn’t stand was anyone mentioning the word ‘death‘ in front of her.
<b>In </b>an instant. Lillian turned pale as she said, “You…”
Ste continued, “Moving into Verdant Vi? Shutting down my studio? Sure, that’s fine with me. But how about this–I’ll leave after I’ve closed my studio and raised a ss to your move into Verdant Vi”
Fully pale and ashen, upon hearing her words, a glimmer lit up in Lillian’s furious eyes as she said, “Really?”
“Have Ethan and Jonathan keep them up! You too!” Ste <b>said</b>.
Good luck in shutting down my studio. Good luck in moving into Verdant Vi. But the thing is, Lillian will probably never get to move into that ce, not until she dies, Ste thought.
Ste stood up as she watched Lillian lying ill and weak in her bed. She said, “Do you still have any shows to put on? If not, I’m leaving!”
