Chapter 372 She Doesn’t Owe You Anything
Ever since Derrick had started making moves in the dark. Abraham had grown increasingly wary of leaving Ste alone.
Even his most trusted aides couldn’tpletely reassure him.
But Ste was so exhausted from all the running aroundtely that she tly refused to go with him. She went straight to bed right after lunch..
“Star.”
Abraham tried to coax her, gently trying to get her out of bed and start the day.
Half asleep, Ste mumbled and crawled deeper under the covers. “Don’t touch me. I’m really tired.”
Her voice was soft and sleepy.
Right now <i>I </i>just want to sleep. I had no intention of getting out of bed.
Abraham sighed. “You stubborn girl.”
With no choice, he left.
Before he left, he gave firm instructions to the head of security. “Make sure the ce is tightly guarded. No one gets in.”
“Yes, sir.” Jacob replied with a nod.
After the incident with Owen, Abraham had reced the entire staff, inside and out.
Jacob had been transferred from Falvaria.
Only after giving detailed orders did Abraham finally leave.
Eddic followed. “You don’t have to be so tense. Derrick is still stuck on Kealis Ind.”
Abraham let out a cold chuckle. “You all thought he was on Pagena too, didn’t you?”
<i>Yet </i>somehow <i>he’d </i>managed to sneak into Rivermountpletely unnoticed.
Eddie fell silent.
Derrick’s feelings <i>for </i>Ste were no joke. Once he returned to Falvaria<i>, </i>things were <i>likely </i>to get even messier
With Abraham gone, Ste was the only one left in Seats Cove. She slept like a log and didn’t wake up until four in the afternoon.

As soon as she sat down on the couch, a maid rushed over with a nket to cover her.
“Thank you,” Ste said quietly.
Just then, thendline phone nearby rang.

The butler answered it. No one knew what was said on the other end, but his brow furrowed as he looked at Ste.
Then his voice sharpened. “Madam Susan, it looks like you still haven’t learned your lesson. You even dared to bother Ms. Dawson again.”
No matter what Susan said, she hadn’t been able to get through to Ste’s phone for a while now.
No one knew what trick she used to find the Seats Covendline.
But she actually had the nerve to call her directly..
Over the phone, Susan said, “Let her take the call. I just want to say a few words.”
The butler replied coldly. “You have nothing to do with her. You shouldn’t call here.”
And with that, he hung up.
Ste looked at her phone. “Madam Susan?”
The butler nodded. “Yes.”
Ste said, “Call the provider. I want a new number.”
Her voice was cold and emotionless.
This was Ste now. She would not give the Reeds a chance, not even the slightest contact.
The butler understood. “I’ll take care of it right away.”
Ste yed through her phone in her hand.
<i>Since </i>I had changed <i>my </i>number, my phone had been much quieter.
<i>The </i><i>Reed </i>family <i>already </i>knew that I had <i>been </i>raised by <i>the </i>Luke family.
And based <i>on </i><i>what </i>I had <i>learned </i><i>about </i><i>them </i><i>over </i><i>the </i>past two years, the <i>entire </i>Reed <i>family </i>was <i>probably </i>trying to find a way to profit <i>from </i>me.
<i>Ha</i>. Now they realized that <i>I </i>was a gold mine.
Too bad.

Back at the Reed residence, Susan sat stone–faced, clutching the now disconnected phone.
Reba lounged nearby, cracking sunflower seeds one by one. The repetitive crunching was driving Susan crazy.
Not being able to reach Ste, not even to say a word, had her on the verge of losing it.
<i>This </i>is <i>my </i>own daughter. <i>Why </i>is it so hard <i>just </i>to <b>see </b>her?
Reba muttered, “We’vee this far, and you still won’t face it? The evidence was there from the beginning.”
I meant the car ident.
From <i>the </i>way Lillian had acted earlier, it was obvious that she was the one behind this.
<i>But </i>now, just because Lillian had fainted, Susan was making excuses again?
Even <i>if </i><i>she </i>didn’t say it out loud, I could guess what Susan was thinking.
She is still trying to protect Lillian.
Susan closed her eyes in frustration, then walked over to Reba. “Give me the money that Jonathan sent you.”
Reba blinked. “What?”
She spat out the seed in her mouth and rolled her eyes.
“What did you just say?”
Susan repeated, “Give me back the money Jonathan sent you. Every cent. Do you hear me? This is our family’s money. You have not qualified to take it.”
Just the thought of this woman taking all of her son’s money made Susan angry.
