The Wrong Girl and the Wronged Girl (Stella and Ethan) novel Chapter 209

Chapter 209 The Unwanted Confrontation

Eddie winced in pain and clutched his leg.

Damn, did Abraham really want to cripple me?

The men continued their conversation, turning to business matters, occasionally touching on arms deals or the affairs of prominent families in Fleule.

Stella sat quietly beside Abraham, eating obediently as he occasionally placed food in her bowl. She always finished. everything he served her during dinner.

As the meal neared its end, loud voices erupted outside.

“It’s not all my fault! You’re her father too, aren’t you?” Susan snapped.

Stella glanced towards the entrance and saw Susan, Patrick, Ethan, and Jason entering.

Ethan’s expression was grim.

Patrick replied, “I’ve been busy with the company. Shouldn’t you be dealing with family matters?”

Susan shot back, I do handle them, and I always keep you informed. You never objected before!”

The mention of Stella made both Patrick and Susan tense.

Patrick exhaled sharply. “So what do you suggest? Her phone is off, and Ethan said she’s involved with the Luke family..”

His words stopped abruptly when he saw Stella sitting at the table.

Stella?

Stella didn’t spare him a second look.

“Star?” Patrick called out instinctively.

Patrick stepped forward. “Star, I

Abraham glanced at Abel, and Abel immediately blocked Patrick’s path.

Abraham turned to Stella, his voice soft. “Finished eating?”

Stella nodded.

“Then let’s go.”

Patrick went pale as Abel held him back. “Star, your father needs to speak with you!”

But Abraham was already leading Stella away, neither of them acknowledging Patrick.

Ethan, who had been looking for Abraham, stepped in front of them. “Mr. Abraham, we need to talk.”

His gaze flickered to Stella, simmering with suppressed anger, especially when he noticed Abraham’s hand clasping hers.

Abraham’s icy stare locked onto Ethan, the air between them turning frigid.

Abraham’s next words made his blood boil. “Then let’s go back and rest.”

Ethan was speechless.

Since when did business discussions hinge on whether Stella was tired?!

What? This…

Patrick and Susan were also stunned. Especially Susan.

Who would have thought that the girl we had once dismissed so easily now held such sway over us?

Susan’s chest tightened. When Stella started to leave, Patrick panicked, “Star!”

He glared at Susan. “Why are you just standing there?!”

Susan snapped out of her daze and ran after Stella.

Stella and Abraham had already reached the door.

Susan quickly grabbed her arm and said, “Star, your father and I need to talk to you.”

They paused.

Stella tilted her head “Father and you?”

Her tone dripped with mockery.

Finished

Susan’s grip tightened nervously as she felt Abraham’s dangerous aura. “I… I was wrong. I shouldn’t have treated you like this,

Star.”

Stella scoffed and tried to pull away, but Susan held on desperately.

Stella raised her eyebrows. “What is this about?”

Susan pleaded, “Just talk to us, please?”

However, inside, she was seething.
