Chapter 456 The Plea


    It’s just a title


    Ste thought, unfazed by the term <b>“</b>sister. Yet, the way they said it made her skin crawl.


    Now he acknowledges me as his sister?


    That single word sent shivers down her spine.


    When Ste stepped away from him, Jonathan felt a tightness in his chest.


    His outstretched hand hung awkwardly in the air, unsure of where to go. He retracted it, his lips moving as if to speak.


    But Ste spoke first. “So, are you here for Lillian or Susan this time?”


    Jonathan was momentarily speechless.


    Susan? That’s how w the calls Mom?


    His breath caught, and he instinctively wanted to scold her.


    But when he met Ste’s cold, stern gaze and remembered herbat skills, he swallowed his words,


    “Please, don’t pursue this matter with our mother. I’m begging you.”


    I can’t even think about Lillian right!


    I now.


    After learning some truths, I’m still seething inside.


    I’m angry, furious


    The sister I had always thought of as kind and gentle had be a murderer?


    I can’t ept it.


    was my mother.


    So I insisted on finding Ste. I hadn’t nned to do anything for Lillian anymore. My only concern now was


    Ste raised an eyebrow, a mocking smile on her lips. You’re begging me?”


    Jonathan nodded. “Yes, I’m begging. Whatever you <b>want</b>, just let our mothergo. She’s seemed sessful all these inside, she’s been miserable. You’ve seen it yourself. Our father has been unfaithful, and she has alwayscked a sense of


    years, but security. She’s a pitiable woman.”


    In Jonathan’s mind, he had always been aware of Patrick’s affairs over the years. So he saw Susan as a victim


    A woman confined within the walls of a grand house, unable to withstand family upheavals. Now, with the family in turmoil, she faced this downfall.


    Ste responded, “Pitiable? And what does that have to do with me?”


    Susan pitiable? Much of her misery was self–inflicted.


    Blind, naive, unable to <b>judge </b>character, and stubborn.


    Reople had warned her countless times that Lillian wasn’t a good person. Suran must have heard it so


    it so often that her


    that her ears grew calloused


    Yet she refused to listen. Who could she me?


    Jonathan’s breath hitched. “You…”


    Stecinterrupted, “Your words are amusing, What do you mean by let her go? She attacked your father’s mistress. How can I let her go? Jonathan, are you out of your mind? Even if you <b>want </b>to plead, I’m not the one to <b>ask</b>”

    Pleading with me to let Susan go Ilhat a joke.


    <b>“</b>But can you honestly say that the Reed family’s downfall isn’t because of you?”


    Jonathan’s suppressed anger was bubbling <b>to </b>the surface.


    Everything happened because of Ste. The Reed family ended up like this because she had Abraham backing her. That’s why the family <b>faced </b>such a catastrophic downfall


    Ste replied, “Yes, it’s because of me. And let me be clear, I won’t spare any of <b>you</b>.”


    Despair? Yes, it was despair. Hearing Ste’s resolute words, Jonathan’s eyes filled with hopelessness.


    “Ste<b>… </b>


    .itwas


    Ste narrowed her eyes and cut him off, “From the moment you and Ethan teamed up with Feisy to try and kill me, your wealth and glory were destined to be crushed by me. It was only a matter of time.”


    Jonathan’s already suffocating chest felt even tighter upon hearing Ste’s words. His mind buzzed.


    Her final words were ruthless, They made Jonathan realize why Ste had been so merciless towards themtely.


    He stammered, <b>“You</b>… you <b>knew </b>everything.”


    “Of course I knew. Did you think everyone is as clueless as you? Unaware of how they were being harmed?”


    Ste knew everything. It was because she knew that her heart had grown colder.


    Jonathan was speechless.


    His heart sank deeper and deeper.


    He had prepared many words beforeing here, but after Ste revealed her ruthless determination, his pleas shattered into pieces, leaving him speechless.


    I can’t beg anymore.


    Ste knew everything So how can I plead?


    But thinking of his mother, Jonathan mustered the courage to speak, “She carried you for ten months and gave birth to you…” “Star, it’s time to go.”


    Before he could finish, a cold voice from not far behind interrupted him.


    Ste turned her head and gave Abraham a sweet smile. “Coming.”


    When she turned back to Jonathan, the sweetness in her smile had turned to coldness.
