Now she was genuinely scared.

As Lilian’s desperate voice rang in her ear –“Or you can call Ethan, just tell him that car ident had nothing to do with me“– Ste ended the call.
Even an idiot wouldn’t say something that shameless. Not worth her time.
She hung up and sent Lilian straight to the blocked list.
Just as she put the phone down…
A knock came at the door, “Ste, it’s Mom.”.
It was Evelyn’s voice from outside.
Ste instinctively moved to open the door -but froze when she heard the sound of running water from the bathroom. Her expression stiffened.
Sure, her mom didn’t mind her being with Abraham, but catching him showering in her room? That was…
Ste’s expression grew more awkward by the second.
She hesitated, torn between opening the
door and pretending to be acleen

Before she could decide, the water stopped -and a few secondster, Abraham stepped out of the bathroom wrapped in a towel, drying his hair with another.
Seeing Ste sitting on the bed with her phone still in hand, he raised a brow. “Someone called you?”
She was about to tell him that her mom was at the door-
But Evelyn’s voice called out again from outside: “Ste? Ste?”
This time, it was quieter and more tentative.
Clearly, if Ste was asleep, Evelyn didn’t n oning in.
Ste looked at the door, then at Abraham.
Compared to her anxiety, the man seemedpletely calm. He casually dried his hair as he walked over and opened the door.
Outside, Evelyn had already assumed Ste was asleep and was about to turn and leave

She turned back–and was startled to see Abraham, fresh from the shower.
Evelyn: “You-”
She nced at the water on his torso, then looked past him to see Ste sitting on the bed, fully dressed in clean pajamas and clearly untouched.
She immediately red at Abraham.
“You punk!”
Abraham: “You needed something?”
“I do. Get out here.”
Evelyn shot him another re and turned to go. But after a step, she paused and nced back.
“Put on some clothes first.”
Abraham frowned but didn’t argue.
His room was right next to Ste’s. He returned quickly in sleepwear and went to the study.

Evelyn was already waiting inside.
When he walked in, she was still fuming. Abraham was confused. “What’s wrong?”
“What’s wrong? You tell me.”
Abraham: “Please exin.”

Evelyn sighed. “During Ste’s check–up today, Elena said the pregnancy isn’t very stable. You need to restrain yourself.”
“I know you love her and want to spoil her, but right now, you need to hold back.”
She decided to spell it out.
Elena had indeed said the fetus wasn’t particrly stable.
That’s why Evelyn had specifically reminded the housekeeper to keep Ste well nourished before heading out earlier.

But then she came home and saw Abraham
Who wouldn’t be rmed?
“Maybe you should sleep in your own room,” Evelyn said directly.
She couldn’t stop worrying.
Abraham: “Come on…”
“She’s been frail since she was little. Just be careful,” Evelyn pressed. ‘
Abraham was starting to get a headache…
Meanwhile, back in Rivermount-
Lilian had coughed up a lot of blood. Her mind was starting to slip.
Jonathan couldn’t take it anymore and came to see Ethan to talk things over.
He was at his wit’s end with the Reed family’s situation. Over the years, the Keene family had always helped them out.
Naturally, Jonathan assumed they’d step in

He had no idea that the Reed family had always been just a pawn in the eyes of the Keene family.
The Reed family’s mines were valuable resources, but the Keene family had made a fortune off them–while the Reeds only got the scraps
And he certainly didn’t realize that this time, because of Ste, the Keene family had gotten burned badly by Abraham… Outside-
Lilian was waiting by the door.
In just a few nights, she looked like apletely different person–haggard, dirty, and disheveled.
She looked like a beggar.
When she saw Jonathan, her eyes welled with tears. “Jonathan.”
Her voice was pitiful. It was a habit–using that tone to wring a little pity from him.
