Meanwhile, Susan was seething as she watched the <b>man </b>who had once injured Jonathan now deliver the message.
Under normal circumstances, she would have exploded <b>on </b>the spot.
<b>But </b>considering <b>why </b><b>she </b>was here today, she held herself back with great difficulty.
She suppressed her anger and turned to Abel. “I am her mother. I need to talk to her about something urgent. What do you mean she refuses to see me?”
Was it supposed to be so difficult just to see my own daughter?
Susan felt even more angry.
Abel frowned when she referred to herself as Ste Dawson’s mother. “If I recall correctly, Madam Susan, you’ve already. severed all ties with her.”
And who exactly are you to <b>her</b><b>?</b>”
Susan could no longer contain her anger.
Even
ifties had been severed, that was between me and Ste. What right had this outsider to speak?
Abel replied, “Who I am to her has nothing to do with whether she wants <b>to </b>see you or not.
You<b>…</b><b>” </b>
Abel’s gaze became sharp. “She doesn’t want to see you, so you won’t see her.”
“I’m her mother.”
“No, you’re <b>not</b>. At least not legally. You’re not her mother anymore.”
Abraham had already filed the separation agreement with both of their signatures for legal validation.
So as far <b>as </b>thew <b>was </b>concerned, Susan <b>was </b>no longer Ste’s mother.
Susan’s chest heaved with anger. “I carried her for ten months and gave birth to her, and now you’re lecturing me about legalities?”
“<b>You </b><b>agreed </b>to the settlement yourself. That signature…”
Abel paused slightly at the mention of the signature.
Then he looked at Susan <b>and </b>added, “Your signature was pretty bold.”
Susan nearly choked on her anger.
Back then I had been angry when I had signed, and I had signed really big and loud. And then Ste had posted it for the whole town of
Rivermount to see.
Even worse, my signature had been erged.
I had never been so humiliated.
Just the memory of it made her blood boil.

The mention of the Reed Group made <b>Susan’s </b>chest tighten even more..
Finished
<b>She </b>thought <b>about </b>what Patrick and Jonathan <b>had </b>told her on the phone, the crisis thepany was in right now, and she felt <b>even </b>more desperate.
“Just tell her again for me. Say it’s urgent”
Pestering her like <b>this </b>is pointless,” <b>Abel </b>said.
“You…”
She was beyond angry.
Just as she was about to say more, she spotted Ethan in the distance.
<b>Abel </b>didn’t want to argue anymore and turned to leave. Susan wanted to stop him.
<b>But </b>the moment she <b>saw </b>Ethan walking in another direction, <b>she </b>forgot all about Abel.
I had to ask Ethan if he had reallye with Ste,
Abel returned.
From a distance, he saw Abraham working on hisptop while Ste sat across from him with aptop also.
<b>Both </b>were focused on <b>their </b>own tasks, and the calm look on Ste’s face made her seem <b>especially </b>well–behaved<b>. </b>
Abel just couldn’t understand it. How could the Reed family not like a girl like that?
Ste slid over to Abraham’s side with <b>her </b></divptop. “Can you take a look at this for me?”
It was <b>a </b>picture. No matter how I looked at it, something felt off, but she couldn’t put her finger on it.
As <b>she </b>spoke, <b>she </b>picked up a <b>ss </b>of red juice and took a sip.
Abraham looked at the red bottle on the <b>table </b><b>and </b>frowned. “How rhuch of that did you drink?”
“1!m<b>?</b><b>” </b>
He looked at her again; her cheeks were already flushed.
He picked up the ceramic bottle. It was empty, obviously finished by Ste.
“What’s wrong?” she asked.
This is wine.”
“Huh? This is wine?”
Itho made wine so meert? I had thought it was juice.
Abraham nodded. Yes, it is wine. I had sent for it and was going to heat it up for the evening
<b>Now </b>Ste had finished everything.
Susan had caught up with Ethan.

Jason which is at beside speechless also.
Susan’s question was so direct, and for some reason Ethan felt a strange difort in his chest.
