Chapter 152 No Room for Misunderstanding
Abel led them into what looked like a modest little teahouse.
But along the <b>way</b>. Louis <b>and </b>Alex both noticed there were <b>quite </b><b>a </b>few bodyguards hidden in the shadows.
Alex leaned over and whispered, “Did you see what those guys had on their belts?”
Louis asked back, “What do you think it was?”
Alex fell silent
Was <b>that</b>… a gun?
No wonder Ethan lost so badly when dealing with <b>Abraham</b>. Who did they think Abraham was? A man like <b>that </b>wasn’t going to tolerate provocation.
And the fact he hadn’t already blown Ethan’s head off–that was self–restraint.
Under a bamboo grove, next to a humble thatched cottage.
By the time Abel brought Louis over, Abraham was the only one there.
As soon as Louis saw him, he stepped forward respectfully. “Mr. Abraham.
Abraham put down his teacup, raised his eyes slightly, <b>and </b>shot Louis a cold nce.
Alex, <b>standing </b>behind Louis, caught the look in Abraham’s eyes for just a moment–and instantly looked away.
The aura this man <b>had </b>was overwhelming. You couldn’t even <b>look </b>him in the eye.
So this was the brother who <b>raised </b>Ste?
With someone like this backing her, Alex was even more convinced that the Reed family and Ethan were done for.
They werepletely insane. They really had no idea who they were messing with
Abraham looked at Louis. “You want <b>Ste </b>topensate <b>you </b>for something?”
Louis froze.
Alex froze.
The chill in Abraham’s voice sent a shiver through both their chests.
<b>Louis </b>quickly said, “Of course not, Mr. Abraham. I wouldn’t dare <b>ask </b>Ms. Ste topensate anything”
“I was only concerned that the ring might cause unnecessary misunderstandings. I wanted it back, but if Ms. Ste <b>lost </b>it, that’s that. I just didn’t want <b>you </b>to misunderstand anything”
As if he’d actually make her pay him back–Abraham was already looking unhappy, and this <b>wasn’t </b>even anything serious
If he really did ask Ste forpensation, <b>Abraham </b>would probably eat <b>him </b><b>alive</b>.
Listening to Louis speak so deferentially, Alex once again felt a shock at <b>Abralsam’s </b>identity.
No <b>wonder </b>he was Fleule’s underground arms dealer.
In all of <b>Rivermount</b>, no one else could make <b>Louis </b>lower his <b>head </b>like this<b>. </b>
<b>yet</b>.

Chapter 152 No Room for Misunderstanding
The weight in Abraham’s voice made Louis’s chest tighten even more.
He quickly said. “Of course not. I absolutely have no such intentions toward Ms. Ste.”
If he did <b>have </b>those kinds of <b>intentions</b>, <b>the </b>next scene would probably be a bloodbath.
There was no way he’d dare.
“Please don’t misunderstand, Mr. Abraham.”
At this point, Louis felt a wave of regret.
Back when the Reed <b>family </b>and that bastard Ethan were treating Ste like dirt, he should’ve stepped in.
+8 Pearls
If he’d <b>known </b>she had someone like <b>this </b>behind her, defending her might’ve at least earned him some favor in Abraham’s
<b>eyes</b>.
But back then, Ste <b>had </b>acted like she had no one at all.
<b>Abraham </b>lit <b>a </b>cigarette, took a drag, then tossed the pack at Louis.
Louis <b>caught </b>it. “Thank <b>you</b>.”
He pulled out a cigarette and lit it. “I know you’re angry, Mr. Abraham, but I really didn’t-
Right as he started to exin, Abraham gave him a cutting <b>look</b>.
Louis immediately swallowed the rest of his words,
Thinking about what Ethan and the Reed family were going through right now, he quickly said, I’ve already locked Sharon up. You have my word–she won’t bother Ms. Ste again.”
He’d seen protective brothers before, but never one like this.
If anyone said Abraham didn’t have feelings for Ste, Louis wouldn’t believe it for a second.
Not that it was any of his <b>business</b>. Right now, he just wanted to make this man happy. Whatever it took.
<b>Abraham </b><b>gave </b>him another cold look. “You’re sure it’s all taken care of?
“All <b>taken </b>care of. If you still don’t believe me, Mr. Abraham, I’ll have Sharon thrown in jail right now.”
Alex’s mouth twitched<b>. </b>Is this guy <b>serious</b>?
Is that really his own sister?
Abel gave Louis a cold nce <b>as </b>well.
<b>Abraham </b>took another drag on his cigarette, still silent, then looked toward Abel.
Abel immediately understood. He stepped forward. “Mr. Louis, you should head <b>back </b>for now. We’ll be in touch”
“Mr. Abraham-”
“Our master’s already aware”
<b>Louis </b>had <b>more </b>to <b>say</b>, but Abel cut him off.
Louis <b>nced </b><b>at </b><b>Abraham </b>again, trying to read something from his expression.
