Chapter 374 Cracks in the Family
Reba saw the sh of triumph in Lillian’s eyes and sneered. This broken family is yours. Knock yourself out.”
She tossed the words over her shoulder and walked away,
It had only been a few days, but Reba had already seen through everything in this household.
Just as she turned to leave, Lillian called out from behind her. “Wait, what about my brother’s money?”
The thought of how much money Reba had taken from Jonathan made her angry.
Now she is just going to walk out?
Reba turned around. “Your brother? What a joke. He’s Ste’s real brother. But she didn’t want him. Are you picking up what she threw away? That’s right up your alley.”
“You…
Lillian felt humiliated.
But she didn’t dare defend herself. She was afraid this woman would hit her again.
Reba smiled. “What? He has a legal heir now. He has a son. And you? You’re nothing. Do you want me to leave the money? Have you looked in the mirrortely?”
Lillian’s face grew pale with anger. She red at Reba, practically ready to skin her alive.
When Susan realized that Reba was taking the child and the money, another shouting match broke out.
But Reba wasn’t one to be talked down to. Once the money was in her hands, there was no getting it back.
And sure enough, after two hours of screaming….
She walked away with the kid and the money.
It <b>was </b>as if the sky had fallen on the Reed family.
Susan cried in Jonathan’s room. “Why on earth did you get involved with a woman like that?”
Two hours!
<i>This </i><i>woman </i>had cursed us for two full hours, <i>without </i>once <i>repeating </i><i>herself</i>. <i>Her </i>mouth was <i>foul </i>enough to rival a street thug

His head throbbed with pain.

“That car ident… was it really Lillian who nned it to hurt Ste?” he asked suddenly, cutting
off Susan’s tirade.
Susan froze at the question.
She lowered her head and <b>said </b>nothing.
Seeing her reaction, Jonathan got the gist of it. “So what now?”
After all, Ste is my biological sister.
I had grown up with Lillian, but if she had really tried to hurt Ste, I <i>didn’t </i>know how <i>I </i>could ept it.
Susan remained silent.
Her whole body was shaking.
Jonathan frowned. “Well? What are you going to do?”
Susan’s voice was hoarse. “What else can I do? We’ll figure it out when Lillian gets better.”
Jonathan was stunned.
Get better?
“With her condition,
do you really i
ink she will?”
And even <i>if </i>she can, we don’t have the money for the treatment.
It will <b>at </b>least <b>cost </b><i>a </i>few million.
Then he remembered how Ste had been in a hospital bed for months two years ago, and it had all started with Lillian.
A cold distance began to form in his heart.
Susan sensed the change in him and looked up at him with a pained expression. “Jonathan. I…”
“Mom, Ste is your true daughter. The reason we sided with Lillian all these years was because we thought Ste was bullying her after she came back.”
Susan said nothing.
Jonathan continued, “But what if all of Ste’s resentment…stemmed from the ident? What does that make Lillian<b>?</b><b>” </b>
For the past two years, <i>Ste </i>had been railing against Lillian.

<i>But </i>if she had been targeted first, almost killed, <i>by </i><i>Lillian</i>, wasn’t <i>she </i>justified?
Susan’s breath caught.
She froze.
Jonathan’s voice grew cold. “<b>Ethan </b>too. He broke up with her over it, didn’t he?”
He remembered the day Ethan had left.
As Jonathan asked, the atmosphere around him grew sharper and colder.
Susan’s alreadybored breathing slowed again. She was shaking.
“… she…
Suddenly she didn’t know what to say. Her eyes filled with sorrow as she looked at her son.
Jonathan was <b>shaking </b>with rage.
That night. Ste had nned to wait and have dinner with Abraham, but he never came home.
So she ended up meeting Rianne.
When she arrived, Rianne was on the phone with Tessa.
Tessa, who was in Falvaria, sounded absolutely frantic.
