Chapter 375 The Reed Family Falls Apart
Now Tessa was finding everyone to gossip to something to calm her nerves.
When Rianne saw Ste arrive, she said into the phone, “All right, all right. You should tell Star all this.
Tessa replied. “She didn’t answer earlier.
“Oh, so that’s why.”
<i>No </i><i>wonder </i>Tessa had dragged me into the gossip all along; <i>she </i>just couldn’t get a hold <i>of </i>Ste.
<i>Ste </i>hadn’t been much of a gossip at first.
<i>But </i>over time, Tessa had <i>definitely </i>rubbed <i>off </i>on her
Sometimes it wasn’t so bad to indulge <i>in </i>a little gossip<i>. </i>
“Was that Tessa on the phone?” Ste asked, lifting her water ss to take a sip.
Rianne nodded and spooned some ice cream into her mouth. “Yes. She’s practically terrified over there in Falvaria. Can you save her?”
Ste said, “Abraham told me that Tessa’s situation isplicated right now. Since Mr. Victor is willing to investigate, staying with him is actually the safest option. Actually, in my opinion, with people out to kill her and even chasing her as far as Falvaria, there’s really no safer ce than at Mr. Victor’s side.”
Rianne raised an eyebrow. “You mean the guy dodging bullets while dragging her through. gunfire? Are you sure that’s safer?”
Ste paused. “…!!”
Come to think <i>of </i><i>it</i>, that was a little intense <i>for </i>someone like Tessa.
Ste <b>was </b>about to ask the waiter for the same ice cream Rianne was having, but Rianne said, “I already ordered one for you. You weren’t here earlier, so I told them to wait. I didn’t want it to melt.”
Ste smiled. “Oh.”
<i>I </i>really had been craving some.
<i>When </i><i>I </i>was around Abraham, he usually <i>didn’t </i>let me have any<i>. </i>
Just as she was thinking about Abraham, her phone rang.
It <b>was </b>him.

“You’re out?”
“Yeah. You said you weren’ting back for dinner, so I went out with Rianne.”
“Send me your location.”
“Huh<b>?</b><b>” </b>
“I’ll pick you up when I’m done.”
“Okay.

Hearing Abraham say he’de get her gave Ste a little warmth inside. After hanging up. she immediately sent him her location.
just as she put the phone down, the ice cream arrived.
It had been a long time since Ste had any. Abraham was usually afraid it would upset her stomach, so he only let her have a few bites.
As she ate, she asked Rianne, “So what did Tess say earlier?”
“She said that Reba took the money and ran. The Reed family is in total chaos right now<b>.</b>”
“Pfft! Cough, cough, cough…
The words “took the money and ran” made Ste choke.
She stared at Rianne, stunned. “Reba took the money and ran? Seriously?”
Rianne nodded. “Definitely.”
Ste was speechless.
“She took all of Jonathan’s money. And Patrick took what was left from thepany.”
“…” Ste <b>was </b>stunned.
“Now the whole Reed family is a disaster. One has a useless hand, one is chronically ill, and the other doesn’t make a dime. If that’s not the end, what is? I used to think I could squeeze a few million out of them. But now? They’ve got nothing”
When <b>Rianne </b><b>said </b>“nothing,” her tone was full of resentment.
<i>After </i>all, I <i>had </i>gone to the <i>trouble </i><i>of </i>making a personal visit, even to weave such an borate ruse.
<i>And </i>in the end I got nothing.
Ste asked, “Are they really that broke?”

<i>The </i>Reeds had been well off in Rivermount. How could they suddenly not be able to afford a <i>few </i>million?
Rianne shrugged. “Reba came out of nowhere and drained them of everyst drop.
Well, I guess <i>Reba </i>was not to be underestimated.
This woman had a child with Jonathan just to marry into money.
But after spending a few days there, with a brain like hers, the must have found out the truth.
There was nothing left for her, so of course she’d take the money and leave.
“Lillian’s definitely not going to make it, Ste said.
Rianne nodded. “Serves her right.”
After all that arrogance….
She almost killed Ste.
Speaking of the Reeds, Rianne’s voice was full of satisfaction. “It’s so satisfying. The whole Reed family is the talk of Rivermount now. You should have seen how smug Madam Susan used to be. She acted as if everyone else was beneath her. Well, look at her now. The women she used to bully are all enjoying the show.”
Ste remained silent.
Well… I had <i>to </i>admit, it was quite satisfying.
