Chapter 205 Shut Out
Susan froze.
“So what I’m saying is, you have no right to ask where she is anymore.”
The simple exnation from the receptionist nearly <b>made </b>Susan faint with rage.
“You… you…
As angry as she was, she couldn’t deny the truth of those words.
In this age of information, everything traveled so fast. Once it was out there, there was no taking it back.
Susan’s breath came in sharp gasps.
Before she could argue any further, her phone rang. It was Lillian.
“Lillian”
“Mom, when are <b>you </bing back?”
Her voice on the other end was soft and pitiful.
“I’ve asked the maid to bring you some food, and the nurse is there too.”
“But I miss you…. I… <b>Lillian </b>said pitifully.
“I know, sweetheart. I’lle back as soon as I’m done here. Be good for now?
Susan’s voice was filled withfort and reassurance.
But in her heart, the hatred for Ste only grew.
This girl had caused all the trouble at the Reed Group and had dragged everyone into the mess.
She wanted to cut <b>ties</b>, fine. She got what she wanted. What more did she want?
The more Susan thought about it, the angrier she became. After a few <b>more </b>words to <b>Lillian</b>, she hung up the phone.
Just then another <b>call </b>came in. Patrick Reed.
“<b>Have </b>you seen Ste?” he asked.
“She refuses to see me, Susan snapped.
That ungrateful brat, I gave birth to her, and now to see her is as hard as meeting <b>a </b>president.
“Why don’t you try to find her?” <b>she </b><b>shouted</b>. “I <b>already </b>tried everything this afternoon.”
Patrick <b>was </b>already on edge.
Hearing this made him <b>snap</b>, too. “<b>You’re </b>the one who let things get to this point. Now you expect me to clean it up?”
What? He thinks this is all my matter? She’s my daughter alone?
Susan <b>was </b>about to retort, but Patrick <b>had </b>already <b>hung </b><b>up</b><b>. </b>
4:46 PM
Chapter 205 Shut Out
When she arrived and said she wanted to see Ste, Ethan’s brow furrowed.
Jason noticed his mood and stepped forward to exin. “Mr. Keene can’t reach her either.”
“What?”
Ethan can’t reach her either?
Finisher
“She blocked <b>him </b>after the broken engagement. None of our calls go through. <b>And </b>she <b>moved</b>. It’s almost impossible to <b>reach </b>her now.”
The only chance was to visit her studio, but she hadn’t been theretely
Unless she went back, we had no way of finding her
Susan stared at Ethan in shock.
She couldn’t believe that Ste had cut him off sopletely.
<b>“</b>So you didn’t even talk to her today?”
<b>Jason </b>replied, “We saw her, yes, but we barely exchanged a few words.
Another wave of disbelief washed over Susan.
Not even a few words?
All along. I had assumed that Ste was clinging to Ethan, that this broken engagement” nonsense was just a tantrum.
I thought Ste was just trying to force me to get rid of Lillian
But now?
Susan’s gazended hard on Ethan. She opened her mouth to say something, but no words came out.
<b>Back </b>at the Reed Group headquarters, it was already 9 pm, and no one <b>had </b>gone home. Both Patrick and Jonathan looked exhausted.
They <b>hadn’t </b>been back for several <b>days</b>.
Patrick lit a cigarette. <b>Jonathan </b>held one too.
I’m going to Pluchville Hill, Patrick said suddenly, getting up and grabbing his suit jacket.
“I’ming too, <b>Jonathan </b>added.
I have to ask Ste what <i>her </i>endgame is. Is she really siding with the outsiders to destroy <i>her </i>own family?
Patrick’s expression darkened. “For what? So you <b>can </b>argue with her?”
T
<b>Patrick </b>snapped, “Have you ever acted like a brother since she came back<b>? </b><b>And </b>now you want to interrogate her?
Jonathan fell silent, his face growing even darker
It wasn’t that I <b>didn’t </b>want to be a good brother, but Ste never gave me the chance. She came back and turned the whole house upside

Jonathan’s instinct was to follow, but just then his phone buzzed.
He <b>looked </b>at the screen <b>and </b>saw the name Reba Zal?m,
This temple immediately began to throb,
