Chapter 304 Caught Red–Handed


    “I wanted Ste Dawson dead. You didn’t deliver, and I still paid you everything we agreed upon. Now you dare to ckmail me?” Lillian shouted at the person on the other end of the line.


    Just as the words left her mouth, the door suddenly burst open with a loud bang, mming against the wall so hard it echoed through the room.


    Lillian was still on the phone when the sound startled her into silence,


    Her pupils shrank as she looked toward the doorway.


    The moment her gaze met Ethan’s stormy eyes, her mind wentpletely nk.


    Ethan’s gaze was filled with a sharp, suffocating rage, the kind that swallows everything whole.


    Lillian felt as if her breath <b>had </b>been stolen from her, her blood rushed backwards, <b>and </b>her whole world turned white.


    Meanwhile, the voice on the other end of the line continued. “I don’t care. I want 280,000 dors. If you don’t pay, I’ll give Mr. Keene the proof that you tried to kill Ste Dawson. Wasn’t Mr. Keene once her fiancé? Let him see what a venomous woman you really are. Let him hear how you plotted to kill his…”


    Before the caller could finish, Lillian panicked and abruptly hung up.


    Her entire body shook as she stared at Ethan, her lips trembling as she tried to form words. “Ethan, I… I…”


    I what?


    Her mind was a chaotic mess.


    One look at Ethan’s face told her everything.


    <i>He </i>had heard everything.


    It’s over…


    Those words repeated endlessly in her mind.


    She took a shaky breath. “You… you have to listen to me. It’s not what you think. You…”


    Ethan stared at her, <b>cold </b>and distant.


    His icy gaze could freeze the whole world. Before Lillian could finish her sentence, he turned away without <b>a </b>word, full of coldness and disappointment.


    The door mmed behind him with a deafening bang.

    Downstairs, Susan had calmed down a bit and was considering her next move when she saw Ethaning down the stairs.


    Instinctively, she stood up and called out, “Ethan!”


    But hepletely ignored her and headed straight for the front door, his entire body radiating at terrifying coldness.


    Susan was stunned.


    Il’hat’s wrong?


    She nced toward the stairs, hesitated for a moment, and then rushed upstairs to check on Lillian.


    She found her sobbing uncontrobly on the bed.


    Susan’s heart tightened. She hurried forward. “What’s wrong? What happened to Ethan?”


    Lillian threw herself into Susan’s arms. “Mom, Ethan doesn’t want me anymore. He doesn’t want


    me.”


    “What happened?”


    “He left. He’s nevering back,” Lillian said in utter despair.


    The <i>Reed </i>family is <i>already </i>in chaos. Ethan is the <i>only </i>person I can count on.


    And now he is gone.


    He had heard everything. Everything. <i>And </i>he hadn’t even given me a chance to exin.


    “What exactly happened?”


    Susan was shaken to her core.


    <i>If </i>Ethan <i>were </i>finished with Lillian, it would be catastrophic. <i>The </i>Reed family was in no position to take


    another blow.


    These women <i>I </i>had counted on? They had all shown their true colors and refused to help.


    Lillian couldn’t even put it into words. All she could manage was, “It’s Ste. It’s always Ste. She <b>took </b>Ethan from me. Mom, she already has Mr. Abraham. Why does she have to take Ethan too<b>? </b>I have nothing left. Why does she keep doing this to me?”


    Her tears flowed like broken pearls.

    Her again. It’s her again.


    That wretched girl. Why didn’t she just get rid of her the moment she was born<i>? </i>


    Susan was seething.


    Lillian choked back a sob. “I’m dying. Mom. I really can’t take it anymore.


    I can <i>feel </i>it; my body is at its limit. There really isn’t much time left.


    IfI don’t get treatment soon, I will die.


    The whole room was filled with her desperation and Susan’s anger.


    “I already am, and she still won’t let me go. She even took Ethan.”


    The despair and hatred in Lillian’s heart had reached a boiling point..

    At one point Abraham lost control and teased her again.


    She fought back fiercely, even biting his shoulder..


    But it didn’t hurt Abraham at all.
