It felt like she’d bitten into something dirty–Ste spat several times, then grabbed her water <b>and </b>rinsed her mouth.
<b>Abraham’s </b>gaze dimmed.
His tone also dropped. “Tell him it’s about his son; that takes priority.”
Abel went quiet. His son takes priority?
If Judson heard that, he’d probably want to beat Ethan to death. As if Ethan had <b>anything </b>better to do right now.
He was all wrapped up with Lillian, and the only urgent thing on his te was this Verdant Vi situation.
Speaking of <b>Ethan</b>, Abel couldn’t help but sigh. “How did Mr. Keene end up with a son like that? If he’s gonna be a yboy<b>, </b>at least pick someone decent. He’s basically trying to wipe <b>out </b>the Keene bloodline.”

Everyone knew Abraham had incredibly high standards for food–especially when it came to what Ste ate. Ste, of course, had no idea that her <b>casual </b>honesty <b>just </b>doomed an entire kitchen staff.
“<b>You </b>heading out?” she asked.
<b>Abraham </b>nodded. “The Reed family’s <b>probably </b>in <b>chaos </b>by
