Chapter 272 Are You Leaving?
Lillian <b>said</b>, “Tell her to let me go this time. When I get better, she can torture me all she wants.”
“Lillian.” Susan’s heart was aching even more.
Lillian continued, “Whatever she wants me to admit, I’ll admit it. All of it. Everything. If she wants to settle scores, let’s wait till I’m better, okay?”
The feeling of being trapped in this <b>dark</b>. hopeless ce was more than Lillian could take. She felt so desperate she didn’t even know if she’d live to see the sun rise again.
please talk to her, Lillian begged. Tim begging you. Just take it as me begging you, <b>okay</b><b>?</b>”
She broke down in despair.
She couldn’t even fall asleep to escape the pain anymore. It hurt so much.
So this was what sickness felt like, in life and death–it cut straight to the bone.
At that moment, Susan didn’t believe Lillian had actually done all those things.
That just made her hate Ste even more. She thought it was Ste who had pushed Lillian to this point.
“Mom Lillian whispered.
“Lillian, my sweetheart… Susan <b>said </b>softly<b>. </b>
It wasn’t just Lillian who felt hopeless. Susan did too.
She hated seeing Lillian suffer like this. And she hated how powerless she was to stop it.
in the private room of <b>Verdant </b>Vi..
From the moment Kimmy saw Ste, the shock in her eyes hadn’t faded,
Or maybe it started even earlier, when she first entered Seats Cove and say Verdant Vi rising like a pce in the snow. Her heart had been pounding ever since.
<b>Back </b>when their studio had just started and wasn’t <b>making </b>any money, Ste had still been incredibly generous with them.
They’d all thought she was spending <b>the </b>Reed family’s money.
But once the Reed family showed <b>their </b><b>true </b>colors, <b>Kimmy </b>realized that couldn’t be the case. She had no idea where Ste’s money <b>came </b>from.
Turns out, Ste <b>was </b>the owner of Seats Cove.
And Kimmy believed that it must’ve had something to do with the man who picked Ste up
This definitely wasn’t the Reed family’s property. If they <b>had </b>this kind of <b>status</b>, <b>they </b>wouldn’t have been scrambling like fools all <b>this </b>time.
“What are you staring <b>at</b>? <b>You </b>spaced out, Ste said, setting a cup of coffee down in front of Kimmy,
Ms. Dawson, you owe me <b>emotional </b>damages,” Kimmy said, her eyes sparkling.
“What?” Ste asked, confused.
It didn’t <b>make </b><b>sense </b>at all.
“Then I should ask for some damages too.” Tessa said with a snort.
When things blew up between Ste and the Reed family, they even had the nerve to freeze Ste’s credit <b>cards</b>.
Tessa had been pissed back then.
“You two are such clowns, Ste said.
She turned to Kimmy. “Did you bring the files?”
Yep, all of them, Kimmy said with a nod.
She handed them over, and Ste nced through <b>them </b>before passing them straight to Tessa.
“Are you really going back to Falvaria?” Tessa asked, sounding a little reluctant.
was always going to go back sooner orter,” Ste replied.
Even if Abraham hadn’t shown up in Rivermount, Ste had been looking for a way back this whole time.
For the past two years, she’d been keeping an eye on everything happening in Falvaria. Waiting for <b>a </b><b>chance </b>to return.
She just hadn’t expected Abraham to make the first move.
“Are you leaving Ms. Dawson? What about the studio?” Kimmy asked in shock.
Am I about to be unemployed? Please no
This job had been so stable, with such good pay.
“Didn’t I already find <b>you </b><b>a </b>new <b>boss</b>?” Ste said casually.
Kimmy looked over at Tessa.
“Keep doing your <b>job </b>well. The pay and benefits won’t change, Tessa said.
“Ms. Dawson. Kimmy <b>said </b>softly, her eyes turning red as she looked at Ste??a.
Even as she prepared to leave, she still made sure they were taken care of. A boss like Ste was nearly impossible toe by.
“Alright, nothing <b>good </bsts forever,” Ste <b>said</b>.
At least the <b>time </b>they had spent together had been something to cherish.
While they were signing the <b>paperwork</b>, Kimmy’s phone <b>rang</b>. She stepped out to take the call.
Tessa took the chance to <b>nce </b>at Ste’s <b>neck</b>. “What’s that mark on your neck?” she asked.
“What?” Ste murmured, instinctively pulling her sweater cor up
“Don’t cover it, I already <b>saw</b>, <b>Tessa </b>said.
If she hadn’t tried to hide it, Tessa might’ve thought it was just a bug bite. But now, no need for exnations.
Ste <b>looked </b>a little embarrassed.
“<b>You </b>two are together?” Tessa asked.
“Yeah<b>, </b>Ste said, <b>nodding</b>. She didn’t hide it from Tessa..
