Chapter 226 The Truth Revealed
The moment Ethan thought about Ste and Mr. Abraham of the Luke <b>family</b>, his brows knitted together tightly.
Before he could speak. Lilian, nestled in his arms, said, “So Ste sold herself to the Luke family just to crush me? If that’s the case, even if I leave the Reed family, she didn’t need to degrade herself like that.
Susan’s face darkened instantly. “Lilian,” she snapped.

Her anger toward Ste only grew fiercer
Raised in the countryside, after all–willing to do anything for money and power.
But for some reason, hearing Lilian say that made Ethan extremely ufortable, even resistant.
Lilian didn’t notice the <b>shift </b>in Ethan’s mood.
She continued, choking back tears, “Mom, she’s your biological daughter. <i>I </i>don’t want to see her ruin herself because of me 1
Her voice broke..
That one mention of “biological daughter” made Susan’s heart pound with rage.
She wanted to say she had already severed ties with Ste- but she held back.
Because right now, ording to Patrick, the entirepany’s fate was still in Ste’s hands.
Lilian sobbed uncontrobly. “I always treated her like <b>a </b>sister. I never wanted her to end up like this.”
Enough, Ethan finally cut her off.
His temples were <b>pounding</b>.
Lilian and Susan both turned to <b>look </b>at him, confused by <b>his </b>sudden harsh tone.
Ethan’s chest felt tight and suffocating. “Ste grew up in the Luke family.”
Both Lilian and Susan’froze.
Susan’s breath caught. “What… what do you mean?”
What do you mean <b>she </b>grew up in the Luke family!
Lilian blinked, confused. “Yeah<b>, </b>Ethan, what are you talking about?”
The Luke family
Fleule’s <b>Luke </b>family? The one everyone fears?
Ethan closed his eyes.
Even now, just thinking about it made his body stiffen uncontrobly.
“Ste is Abraham Luke’s sister.”
Silence
Abraham Luke.
Abrahamt
“Abraham Luke – Mr. Abraham?” Lilian gasped, her breathing rapid.
Her pupils contracted violently,
Ste… is the sister of <i>the </i>legendary Mr. Abraham?!
Lilian couldn’t stop herself from sucking in sharp breaths.
Raised in the Luke family… the heir to the Luke family. Mr. Abraham’s sister….
She and Susan locked eyes.
Susan’s breathing practically stopped.
Lilian lifted her <b>head </b>and said hoarsely, “<b>Ethan</b>… are you sure?”
Inside, Lilian’s heart was a storm of turmoil, roiling <b>with </b>jealousy.
She didn’t want to believe it- she <b>refused </b>to believe Ste had grown up in the Luke family!
Ethan’s breath grew <b>colder</b><b>. </b>
“Absolutely sure.”
His father had personally confirmed it. There could be no mistake..
When Ethan first heard the news, his mind had exploded with a loud <b>ng</b>.
Even now, he still couldn’t fully process it.
Susan’s breathing turned frantic. “How… how could this happen?”
She stared at Ethan in disbelief.
Hadn’t they always said she was just a country girl?
How did she suddenly be… the Luke family’s lost princess?
“Wait, Susan gasped. “A few years ago
the Luke family announced their little princess had gone missing. Was it her?”
Back then, the entire Fleule had been thrown into an uproar.
Even Susan had heard about it,
She remembered feeling sorry for that lost little <b>girl</b>.
Lilian had been the one <b>to </b>tell her about it at the time.
Now, the <b>two </b>women exchanged another stunned <b>nce</b>.
Their breathing grew chaotic and uneven.
If Ste <b>had </b>truly grown up with the Luke family… then this time, they were facing serious trouble.
Meanwhile, <b>back </b>at Pluchville Hill
Ste burrowed deep into the covers and refused toe out.
Her muilled voice came from under the nket. “Get out. Hurry up and get
i out.”
Her tone carrieil clear frustration.
Abraham sighed helplessly.
He reached out to pull the nket off her but Ste clutched it even tighter.
“If you pull it off, I’m calling Mom!” she cried.
