Chapter 134 Burn the Bridge
The pressure rolling off Abraham <b>was </b>suffocating. Even just a nce from him made <b>Jonathan </b>feel the danger radiating from his body.
Abraham narrowed his eyes, voice low and menacing “You threatened her?”
Jonathan swallowed hard. He looked at Abraham, then at Ste.
Ste stood with her arms crossed. “You threatened me?”
Their tones were identical. The room, already <b>cold </b>and tense, now felt dangerously ustrophobic.
Jonathan suddenly realized–he didn’t <b>know </b>Ste at all.
His <b>hands </b>clenched into fists, breath growing ragged. “I”
what?
From the corner of his eye, he instinctively nced toward the man at the door. Who the heck is this guy?
The power rolling off him was intense–he definitely hadn’t seen him around Rivermount before.
Abraham took long, steady strides toward Ste, then <b>yanked </b>her <b>over </b>to his side.
“What did he just say he was to <b>you</b><b>?</b>”
“He said he’s my brother.”

mouth-
The temperature plummeted. The heat in the room didn’t matter; Jonathan’s back turned ice cold. Why did the man’s aura grow more dangerous just hearing Ste call me brother?
Abraharn looked at him, eyes sharp and cold. “You really want to be her brother?”
Jonathan went quiet<b>. </b><i>He </i>was. But not anymore–Ste had made that clear. Their mother had signed the disownment agreement.

He’d like to see, now that she’d left the Reed family, what she was worth to these <b>people</b>.
Still fuming, Jonathan stomped <b>out </b>of the office. It wasn’t <b>until </b>he got into the elevator that he realized his back was drenched. in cold sweat
That man’s presepee just <b>now </b><b>had </b>been too terrifying
That had to be the one <b>who </b>injured Ethan. He must be Ste’s real backup.

Before he could say anything the woman shouted again. “You lied to me! You told me to wait! You <b>said </b>before the kid started school, he wouldn’t have to live as some illegitimate child! Did you even tell your family about us!
Jonathan said nothing
She burled a barrage of questions at him, each one sharper than thest. His head throbbed with every word.
Of course he’d told them–but no one in his family would ept her.
He rubbed his aching temples. “Are you home! I’ming over right now”
“Good. Come exin this to my face!”

Her voice was full of grief and pain
Jonathan’s headache worsened, but he kept his tone <b>calm</b>. “You’re awake?”
Just thinking about how she’d fainted made Susan furious all over again. She was still seething at Ste.
