Chapter 187 Stirring the Pot
“She’s Lillian’s best friend,” Ste said inly.
At <b>that</b>, the corner of Eddie’s mouth twitched. That exined a lot.
No wonder Lillian kept targeting Ste–clearly afraid Ste would threaten her ce in the Reed family.
With that <b>kind </b>of mindset, she’d definitely badmouth Ste to anyone who’d listen. Anyone connected to her would be predisposed to hate Ste.
She’d already brainwashed the Reed parents into that <b>kind </b>of <b>thinking</b>–what was one best friend inparison!
“If I’d known she was close with Lillian, I’d have passed on that <b>blind </b>date,” Eddie muttered.
Getting on Abraham’s bad side? Not worth it
oing to meet him<b>?</b><b>” </b>
He nced at Abraham. “Mr. Louis is here. You’re not going
“Abel is handling it.”
“Oh.”
So he’de here just to bring Ste to the hot springs?
Then <b>it </b>hit him–Abraham <b>had </b>asked him to bring some medical equipment. Eddie turned to Ste. “<b>You </b>haven’t been keeping up with treatment these past two years, have you?”
Ste gave a small nod.
Knew it
This girl was terrified of needles. Besides <b>Abraham</b>, no one else could make her listen.
Back on Jasmine’s side.
Still fuming, she called Lillian andunched straight into a rant
“I was this close to getting Eddie for you, and that b*tch Ste ruined everything!”
She was furious.
Ste–the Reed family’s own <b>flesh </b><b>and </b>blood, yet nobody there liked her. And still, there were people out here protecting
her?
Lillian’s <b>face </b>fell as she listened to <b>Jasmine </b>recount how they ran into each other at Pluchville Hill.
She had wanted to visit the hot springs too.
<b>Every </b>winter, the entire Reed family used to go to Pluchville Hill together. But this year, she <b>hadn’t </b>gone <b>at </b>all.
Just as Jasmine was about to say more, she suddenly eximed, “Wait–is that Ethan? What’s he doing here?”
Lillian’s voice sharpened. “Ethan’s at Pluehville Hill?”
“Yeah. I just saw him. Don’t tell me be followed Ste here?”

sly she <b>is</b><b>. </b>She nearly married Ethan once, remember?”
Finished
“And that guy who <b>was </b>just shielding her? And Eddie, too? She’s got it out for you. You better be careful she’s not trying to string Ethan along too.”
The more she thought about Eddie, the angrier she got.
Ste <b>already </b>had a man at her side, and Eddie still chased after her like a puppy.
<b>Lillian’s </b>expression twisted. Her lips trembled before she forced out three words through clenched teeth. “Got it.”
And without another word, she hung up.
Her fingers tightened around her phone. Her breathing was unsteady.
She couldn’t take it anymore–<b>she </b>dialed Ethan’s number.
<b>It </b>rang a few <b>times</b>, then–he hung up.
Lillian’s brows furrowed.
He rejected her call?
Was Jasmine right? Did he really go to Pluckville Hill for Ste? He <b>still </b>couldn’t let her got
Her eyes grew cold. She clenched her jaw and redialed.
It was declined again.
Her rage spiked. She called again.
Back <b>at </b>Pluchville Hill-
<b>Ethan </b>was already frustrated after his run–in with Ste.
He still hadn’t been able to locate the Luke family heir. Time was ticking.
And now <b>Lillian </b>kept calling over <b>and </b>over. He was running out of patience.
When he finally picked up, he forced a calm tone. “Lillian.”
“Ethan, where are you?”
“I’ve got something going on. I’ll call you backter,” he said, ready to hang up.
But before he <b>could</b>, Lillian spoke <b>again</b><b>. </b>
“You’re at Pluchville Hill, aren’t <b>you</b><b>?</b><b>” </b>
Ethan went silent.
His grip on the phone tightened. “So what if I am?”
“What kind of business needs <b>to </b>be handled at Pluehville Hill?”
Hasn’t business usually done at the office! Even if it was aboutworking, did it really involve hot springs

“You went there to see her, didn’t you?”
She remembered Jasmine mentioning a man protecting Ste, and now Ethan was there too?
Why was Ste everywhere? What did all these men even see in her?
