Chapter 205 Shut Out
Susan froze.
“So what I’m saying is, you have no right to ask where she is anymore.”
The simple explanation from the receptionist nearly made Susan faint with rage.
“You… you…
As angry as she was, she couldn’t deny the truth of those words.
In this age of information, everything traveled so fast. Once it was out there, there was no taking it back.
Susan’s breath came in sharp gasps.
Before she could argue any further, her phone rang. It was Lillian.
“Lillian”
“Mom, when are you coming back?”
Her voice on the other end was soft and pitiful.
“I’ve asked the maid to bring you some food, and the nurse is there too.”
“But I miss you…. I… Lillian said pitifully.
“I know, sweetheart. I’ll come back as soon as I’m done here. Be good for now?
Susan’s voice was filled with comfort and reassurance.
But in her heart, the hatred for Stella only grew.
This girl had caused all the trouble at the Reed Group and had dragged everyone into the mess.
She wanted to cut ties, fine. She got what she wanted. What more did she want?
The more Susan thought about it, the angrier she became. After a few more words to Lillian, she hung up the phone.
Just then another call came in. Patrick Reed.
“Have you seen Stella?” he asked.
“She refuses to see me, Susan snapped.
That ungrateful brat, I gave birth to her, and now to see her is as hard as meeting a president.
“Why don’t you try to find her?” she shouted. “I already tried everything this afternoon.”
Patrick was already on edge.
Hearing this made him snap, too. “You’re the one who let things get to this point. Now you expect me to clean it up?”
What? He thinks this is all my matter? She’s my daughter alone?
Susan was about to retort, but Patrick had already hung up.

Chapter 205 Shut Out
When she arrived and said she wanted to see Stella, Ethan’s brow furrowed.
Jason noticed his mood and stepped forward to explain. “Mr. Keene can’t reach her either.”
“What?”
Ethan can’t reach her either?
Finisher
“She blocked him after the broken engagement. None of our calls go through. And she moved. It’s almost impossible to reach her now.”
The only chance was to visit her studio, but she hadn’t been there lately
Unless she went back, we had no way of finding her
Susan stared at Ethan in shock.
She couldn’t believe that Stella had cut him off so completely.
“So you didn’t even talk to her today?”
Jason replied, “We saw her, yes, but we barely exchanged a few words.
Another wave of disbelief washed over Susan.
Not even a few words?
All along. I had assumed that Stella was clinging to Ethan, that this broken engagement” nonsense was just a tantrum.
I thought Stella was just trying to force me to get rid of Lillian
But now?
Susan’s gaze landed hard on Ethan. She opened her mouth to say something, but no words came out.
Back at the Reed Group headquarters, it was already 9 pm, and no one had gone home. Both Patrick and Jonathan looked exhausted.
They hadn’t been back for several days.
Patrick lit a cigarette. Jonathan held one too.
I’m going to Pluchville Hill, Patrick said suddenly, getting up and grabbing his suit jacket.
“I’m coming too, Jonathan added.
I have to ask Stella what her endgame is. Is she really siding with the outsiders to destroy her own family?
Patrick’s expression darkened. “For what? So you can argue with her?”
T
Patrick snapped, “Have you ever acted like a brother since she came back? And now you want to interrogate her?
Jonathan fell silent, his face growing even darker
It wasn’t that I didn’t want to be a good brother, but Stella never gave me the chance. She came back and turned the whole house upside
Chapter 205 Shut Out
Jonathan’s instinct was to follow, but just then his phone buzzed.
He looked at the screen and saw the name Rebecca Zalım,
This temple immediately began to throb,

The readers' comments on the novel: The Wrong Girl and the Wronged Girl (Stella and Ethan)
Ch 489 Doesn’t this prove that Dan doesn’t actually have amnesia? Why would he go to the island with a strange woman and why would he steal from Derrick? He doesn’t know them....
Ch 488 I feel like this is going to be what Stella stole in his study in Pagenda or wherever his estate was....
Ch 485 I thought it was going to be the Reed family mine that she robbed, thus taking the Keenes product and leaving them in that situation....
Ch 483 o then, how did the Reeds fine her? How did they not know where she was from?...
Ch 477 Definitely hidden pedo in here, referring to tiny women as little girls in every way possible....
Ch 468 How could Stella inherit her adopted father’s weak stomach constitution?...
Ch 468 Abraham and Marie’s mother has been called Evelyn, Diane and Loretta.. which is it? Evelyn has been the most used....
Ch 465 She still doesn’t know the mistress is Lillian’s aunt?...
Ch 464 Why didn’t she kick her out herself be for she went to attack the mistress…...
Ch 463 This is stupid now. I understand being scared in his presence enough to not think straight, but she’s a lone more often than not and has plenty of time to think things through, especially if she has time to get gossip from Rivermount and report to Stella....
