Chapter 175 I’m Not the One You Should Be Afraid Of
Ste nced at the men posted at the door, then looked straight at Lillian.
“You think too highly of yourself”
<i>I </i>said something to the Keene family? Please
“You seriously believe I’d <b>care </b>about Ethan or the Keene family <b>just </b>because you do?”
“You-
Lillian’s breath caught.
Meeting Ste’s eyes, she bit <b>down </b>and snapped, “If it wasn’t you, then who?”
Susan’s expression darkened with fury
Sure, the Keene family had already started distancing themselves from Lillian. But now these men–these were <b>Judson’s </b>people. Judson, who <b>rarely </b>interfered in the affairs of the younger generation.
If he’d stepped in like this, it could only mean Ste had stirred everything up behind the scenes.
<b>And </b>after she’d turned the disownment into a full–blown scandal, Rivermount <b>had </b>beenughing at them <b>nonstop</b>. Susan could barely breathe thinking <b>about </b>it.
<b>She </b>stared at Ste, her voice trembling. “What did you tell the Keene family? Are you still not <b>over </b>Ethan?”
Ste didn’t reply.
Abel didn’t either.
Both of them just looked at her like she’d lost her mind.
Especially Abel–he looked at Susan and Lillian as if they werepletely brain–dead.
Miss Ste, still hung up on Ethant <b>You’ve </b>got to be kidding.
Where were these people even getting this stuff?
Lillian stepped forward and tugged at Ste’s sleeve. “I know <b>you </b>me me. You think I ruined things between you and
Ethan, but-
“Get your hand off me”
Before she could finish, Ste shook her off, expression filled with disgust.
She looked down at the part of her sleeve Lillian had touched<b>, </b><b>like </b>it was contaminated.
Lan lost her bner and but the floor with a painful yelp.
Susan sucked “Ah–r
she rushed to help her up. The doctor had warned them–no falls. Lillian’s body couldn’t take it
face had gone ghost white

Finished
If hat the hell as this mout
Lillian didn’t still care about Ethan<b>? </b>Or the Reed family!
Then <b>what </b>was she performing for?
They were done. The engagement was <b>over</b>. The family ties were cut. <b>What </b>more did she want?
Arms crossed, Ste looked down at her. “Unless you want me to p you, I’d cut <b>the </b>act,”
Susan looked up at her, face twisted with rage. “Get out. Get out of Rivermount!“.
There had never been a moment she regretted more than the one where she’d brought Ste back into their lives.
She grabbed her phone and called Jonathan.
He picked up quickly<b>, </b><b>his </b>voice exhausted. “<b>Mom</b>?”

I don’t care how you do it. I want Ste gone. Out of Rivermount. I don’t ever want to see her again.”“
Ste stood still
So that’s what this ise
That whole scene Lillian just pulled–was <b>to </b>get her kicked out of the city?
She thought back to the ten thousand Dors she’d asked Abel to trace. It had to be tied to this. The n to drive her out of Rivermount clearly <b>had </byers
Jonathan sighed. “What now?”
Thepany was already a mess. They’d pulled <b>an </b><b>all</b><b>–</b>nighter in meetings. Just hearing Ste’s name <b>made </b>his <b>head </b>hurt.
Susan’s voice went sharp. “If she stays in Rivermount, <b>Lillian’s </b>going to die. She’ll kill her!”
Jonathan rubbed his temples
“What did she even do this time? Didn’t she already cut ties with us?”
Susan snapped. “I don’t care. Just get her out of here.”
Right now, Susan only wanted Ste gone. No contact. No connection. <b>Nothing</b>.
Jonathan was getting irritated.
He remembered how badly <b>the </bst attempt to shut down Ste’s studio had <b>gone</b>. He wasn’t about to poke that ho’s nest
He’d seen for himself–Ste had someone powerful behind her
“Did you hear me
When Jonathan didn’t answer. Susan’s sole rose again. “Do you seriously want to just stand there and let Lillian die?”
