Chapter 333 Everyone Wants What’s Not Theirs


    “You all want me dead. Since that’s what you want, I’ll give it to you.” Lilian said in a pitiful tone.


    Reba sneered, “Oh please. If your life really meant so little to you, would you have gone to such lengths to frame me?”


    Susan, sensing Lilian’s despair, was about to soften when Reba’s sharp words struck her. She trembled with anger, not even sure whether she was furious at Reba or disappointed in Lilian


    Reba squatted down, flinging the ne at Lilian’s face. This is how you framed Ste back then too, isn’t it? All that “Mom, don’t me her, it’s my fault. Don’t be mad at Ste; it’s all on me.. Ugh<b>.</b><b>” </b>


    Mocking Lilian’s pitiful tone, Reba nearly gagged.


    Lilian’s face went ghostly pale with rage..


    Reba stood up coldly and turned to Susan. “Didn’t you say I was poorly raised?”


    Then her gaze shifted back to Lilian. “Well, your parenting sure is something else.”


    Reba gave them both a withering once–over, then strutted out of the room with a sneer.


    Lilian had tried to set her up, then she would expose the scheme on the spot, in her own way leaving no ce for it to hide.


    Susan looked at Lilian with a broken heart. “Why would you do this?”


    She did not like Reba much either, but this… this was too underhanded. There were plenty of ways to drive someone away. Did it have to be something so dirty?


    “Mom, I…” Lilian tried to talk her way out again.


    Before she could finish, Susan cut in. “Enough. Don’t say another word. You’re this sick and still causing trouble.” Furious, Susan turned and stormed off.


    Lilian’s breath caught. Her already pale face turned even whiter, and tears streamed down.


    “Why? Why does everyone always try to take what’s mine?” She growled through clenched teeth.


    First it was Ste. Now Reba had appeared.


    Thinking of how Reba had manhandled her just moments ago, Lilian felt her whole body burning with <b>pain</b>.


    Meanwhile, on Kealis Ind….

    Eddie muttered behind them, “That Bert and Bernie, they’re two totally different creatures.”


    Bernie hade off as downright sleazy.


    But Bert? He had acted like a decent guy. As soon as he heard why they were here, he handed over the goods without a fuss.


    If th


    they had known the stuff was with Bert from the start, they would not have needed to make this whole trip.


    Abraham said tly, “You think there are good people in a ce like this?”


    Eddie came to realize….


    Well, okay then. Bert did single–handedly control Kealis Ind. No way he was some noble soul.


    He said, “Maybe he just wanted to show off in front of a prettydy? I could tell he really liked that little wife by his side.”


    Ste’s brow twitched. She gave Eddie a warning nce. “We’re still on Bert’s property.”


    Eddie not only <b>had </b>a big mouth. He also loved gossip.


    Still, he was not wrong. Bert’s new wife really was young. He was pushing seventy, and she looked. barely past twenty.


    Eddie muttered, “I was just saying.”


    “Then choose a better time and ce to say it,” Ste scolded lightly.


    Eddie pouted and said no more.


    Fine. Abraham and Ste were always right. Always.


    Suddenly, Abraham’s phone vibrated. It was Derrick calling.


    The moment he picked up, Derrick’s furious voice exploded through the line, “You lied to me?! Vincent and Gabe, was that your doing?!”


    Derrick was beyond livid.


    He had not expected Abraham to go that far. Though the man was no stranger to ruthless tactics, Vincent and Gabe were different.


    This loss was a heavy one.


    Abraham nced at the little thing beside him, still munching snacks. I’ve told you to forget about the engagement.”


    Ste <b>had </b>a cookie halfway to her mouth. She froze and looked over at him<b>. </b>

    Then Derrickughed darkly. “Sure, I can forget it. But you, Abraham, do you really think you can be with her? Have you forgotten… that time with Reese…?”


    Before Derrick could finish, Abraham’s eyes turned icy, and he hung up without hesitation.


    For a moment, a storm flickered in the depths of his gaze.


    Ste blinked at him, cookie still in her mouth. “Reese? What about Reese?”


    <i>What </i>had Derrick been trying to say?
