Chapter 190 Who’s Really in Control
That Ste—she was nothing but trouble.
Just thinking about her made Susan’s blood boil.
“<b>Mom</b>, are you
you going to <b>find </b>Ste?” Lillian asked.
*I <b>am</b>. Be good. I’ll be back soon.”
“Okay. Go ahead”
Lillian looked obedient on the surface, but inside, her hatred for Ste was eating her <b>alive</b>.
Why couldn’t they just drive her out<b>? </b>Why couldn’t they get her to disappear from Rivermount for good?
Not long after <b>Susan </b>left, Lillian’s phone rang again.
It was that man. The same one who kept asking her for money.
“Money, money, money! I don’t have money! I’m barely holding on!” she snapped.
She was already <b>unable </b>to rest because of Ste.
Now this? Were they all just trying to push her to her breaking point?
No. <b>She </b>wasn’t going to die.
They all wanted her gone! Fine–she’d <b>live </b>just to spite them.
Finished
Meanwhile, at Pluchville Hill-
Abel and <b>Louis </b>had just finished going over the contract. Two <b>uses </b><b>had </b><b>issues</b>, so they had them revised on the spot.
Louis didn’t hesitate. The moment he heard there were problems, he ordered the changes immediately.
While the corrections were being made, a server walked <b>in </b>and leaned over to whisper in Abel’s ear. “Mr. Abel, Mr. Judson has
arrived.”
Abel frowned and shot a nce at him.
“Have him wait”
Judion had actuallye himself? He <b>must </b>bepletely fed up with Ethan
And honestly, who could dame him! Ehan hadn’t <b>done </b>a single <b>smart </b>thing in <b>months</b>.
Especially with that linken arm–every elder in the family had been furious just looking at him

Finished
Abel <b>found </b><b>Abraham </b>just as <b>he </b>and Ste were getting out of the hot spring.
Abraham was towel–drying the water from her shoulders, quickly wrapping her in a thick <b>robe</b>.
“Sir, Judson is here,” Abel said as he walked up.
Abraham raised <b>an </b><b>eyebrow </b>and looked over at him<b>. </b>
Even Ste was a little surprised. For Judson toe in person–it meant he was probably just as disappointed in Ethan as
everyone else.
If Judson was here, Ethan definitely was too.
She wondered what Ethan’s face would look like when he realized <b>Abraham </b>was the heir to the Luke family.
After all, he’d already y met <b>Abraham </b>more th
than once—and remembered him under rather extreme circumstances.
Now, learning Abraham was that man?
Ste looked up <b>at </b>Abraham, eyes full of something unreadable. “Are you going to meet Mr. Judson?”
“<b>Do </b>you want me to?”
“He’s a good man,” she said simply
Of everyone in the Keene family, Ste respected Judson the most. He was a man of principle.
She had heard about his aplishments in his younger years–and admired him deeply.
Even two years ago, when her engagement to Ethan was mysteriously announced and then called off, it was Judson who had thrown the biggest fit. He’d said Madeline and the Reed family had handled it all wrong
And they <b>had</b>–no one had even asked her what she wanted.
Abraham chuckled softly and ran <b>his </b><b>hand </b>over the top of her head: “Go on with Eddie.”
The moment be said that, Ste’s stomach dropped.
If he was sending her off with Eddie, she knew what that meant–Eddie <b>was </b>going to treat her
She nervously hooked a finger around Abraha
He smiled: “Scared?”
Ste shook her head “No Go ahead”
But even as she said it, she was terrified
That fear of needles had only gotten worse over the <b>years</b>.
It was the reason that in all her time living <b>in </b>Rivermount, she’d avoided injections entirely–only <b>taking </b>medicine when she
that was grauty afraid–worse than a kid.
Mayte it had wacthing to do with how many shots she had as a child She’d been sickly back then–candy caching

But people who are sickly <b>as </b><b>kids </b>tend to <b>grow </b>up strong,
If it hadn’t been for the kidnapping, her leg would be fine now.
Abraham’s expression softened. He squeezed her hand gently. “Go on. I’ll catch up.”
Okay
So she wasn’t getting out of it after all.
