Chapter 283 A Fraud
Ste looked at Eddie <b>like </b>this, casting a conflicted nce at <b>Abraham</b>. “Why did he run?”
“<b>For </b>his <b>own </b>good.”
Ste was taken aback, her disbelief evident. Why does this sound so unconvincing to met
Just then, Ste’s phone rang. It was still Tessa calling.
Ilgo
She nced at Abraham and <b>said</b>. “It’s Tess. I’ll go answer it.”
“Okay.” Abraham released the hand <b>that </b>had been resting on her <b>waist</b>.
Ste picked up the phone and headed out the door. Eddie, seeing her about to leave, called out urgently, “Star, you can’t just stand by and watch<b>.</b>”
Abraham won’t let you die.”
Hopefully, this time, Eddic learns something from it.
Ste walked out, phone in hand.
Abraham took the cigar that Abel handed him and added. “Add five moreps<b>.</b><b>” </b>
Eddie shouted, “Abraham, you’re really something else. Who do you think I’m doing this for?”
Abel sighed inwardly, Does Mr. Eddie really want to just copse here and be done with it?
Tess.
Ste picked up Tessa’s call. Tess.”
Tessa’s voice came through, full of urgency. “Star, it’s happening! It’s really happening. You’ve got to listen!”
A loud p echoed through the phone, followed by Sharon’s furious roar. “Who the hell are you calling a mistress? I’ll tear you apart today!”
“I’m talking about you!” Reba’s voice was seething. Jonathan has kids already! Do you want to be a stepmom now?”
Susan’s voice interrupted, calm but firm. “Shut up, everyone, Reba, keep quiet.”
“Shut up?” Reba’s voice was dripping with sarcasm. “No wonder you, old witch, kept stopping me from marrying Jonathan. You didn’t even want your own grandchild, so you were waiting for something better, huh?”
<b>Susan’s </b>silence spoke volumes.
Reba continued with a sneer. “The Parker family’s precious daughter, huh? Are you blind? Or do you just love married
Sharon’s anger red. “Dmn it! I’ll tear <b>you </b><b>apart</b>!”
Even though it was just <b>through </b>the phone, Ste could already feel the chaos on the other end. Tessa’s voice came through. delighting in the <b>chaos</b>. “Star, did you hear that? Is it clear enough? If not, I’ll get closer.”
Ste’s lips twitched in <b>annoyance</b>. “You said you didn’t go <b>to </b>the hospital, howe you’re there now?”
Tessa chuckled. “I’m just here for the <b>drama</b><b>, </b><b>you </b>know? I couldn’t miss <b>such </b>a big scene<b>.</b>”
<b>Ste’s </b>eyelid twitched again. “You went to the <b>hospital </b>just for the drama?”
Ste sighed, Truly, wherever Tessa goes, there is always gossip to be had.
But since Tessa saw it, it was like Ste saw it too. Tessa clicked her tongue on the phone. ‘Ouch, they’re fighting badly. I’m filming it for you.”
“Alright,” Ste replied, resigned.
The video Tessa had sent earlier hadn’t been opened yet. She hung up and opened the video. It looked like it was filmed in the corridor outside Jonathan’s hospital room
Susan was blocking Reba from entering. The two of them went <b>back </b>and forth, arguing.
Reba’s voice rang out, sharp and sarcastic. “The Reed family is <b>cursed </b>for marrying a woman like you! You can’t tell the difference between family and outsiders Favoring your adopted daughter is one thing, but encouraging her to steal your own <b>daughter’s </b>fiance? What, now you want to match your biological son with your adopted <b>daughter</b><b>?</b>”
Susan, enraged, tried to p Reba. “You’re out of line, Rebal” she yelled.
Reba wasn’t easy to <b>deal </b>with <b>either</b>. She grabbed Susan’s wrist and pushed her down, her voice mocking. “How’s the ground. Madam Susan?” Susan couldn’t get up..
Tessa sent another video.
Ste opened it and saw a chaotic scene. Reba and <b>Sharon </b>were <b>fighting</b>.
Susan tried to help Sharon but was <b>thrown </b>to the ground by Reba, unable to get <b>back </b>up.
Tessa’s call came again. “Did you see it?”
Ste replied dryly, “Saw it.”
At the moment, the Reed family was inplete turmoil.
Tessa’s voice came with a knowing tone. “After today, the Parker <b>family </b>will tear <b>Jonathan </b>apart too. This is straight–up marriage fraud”
Ste’s <b>voice </b>was grim. With kids that big, it’s definitely a fraud.”
