The Wrong Girl and the Wronged Girl (Stella and Ethan) novel Chapter 252

Chapter 252 In the Line of Fire

Jonathan’s frantic gaze kept twitching.

This little brat. If she doesn’t say something soon, is she really planning to let this guy kill me?

His eyes darted down to the cold weapon strapped at Abraham’s waist. Jonathan swallowed hard again.

Especially because Stella remained completely silent.

Jonathan was truly panicking now. “Stella!”

The moment his voice fell, there was a loud thud- followed by a muffled grunt from Jonathan.

Pain exploded in his abdomen, se intense it felt like his internal organs had shattered.

Abraham’s kick had not been gentle. Jonathan immediately doubled over, clutching his stomach, wishing he could curl up on the floor.

Ethan, witnessing the scene, stiffened all over.

He couldn’t even step in to help. He was still covered in injuries himself.

Besides, this was Seaflats Cove.

Right now. Keene Group had countless problems that needed Abraham’s help to resolve. Knowing Abraham’s true identity, how could he afford to offend him?

The Reed Group, the Keene Group, Lilian’s life… all of it was practically in Abraham’s hands now.

Abraham’s eyes narrowed. “Who gave you the courage to lay a finger on her?”

Jonathan felt a jolt of terror.

The pain in his stomach was unbearable- he could hardly breathe.

Abraham glanced again at the red marks on Stella’s wrist. “Stella, what do you think should be done?

“Huh?”

Caught off guard, Stella blinked in confusion.

He’s… asking me?

She instinctively glanced at Jonathan, whose face had gone deathly pale from pain.

But she quickly averted her eyes and met Abraham’s gaze.

Abraham raised an eyebrow. “How about killing him?”

Stella froze.

Ethan and Jonathan both froze too.

Especially Jonathan and Ethan when their eyes met, sheer terror flashed across their faces.

Kill? He said it so casually… so coldly.

Jonathan could tell Abraham wasn’t joking.

If Stella said the word, Abraham really would kill him without hesitation.

What? You can’t bear to?” Abraham’s voice was lazy, yet dangerously cold.

“No, no, no, I’m not reluctant at all Please, go ahead. Go ahead”

Bear it that a jobe.

When it came to anything involving the Reed family, Stella didn’t dare utter half a wrong word in front of Abraham.

She was terrified of being misunderstood, of him thinking she still cared about the Reed family.

Jonathan cried out, “Stella, I’m your real brother!”

“Real, real, real real what? Who’s real with you, you idiot!”

Is this guy brain–dead Calling himself my brother in front of Abraham is he trying to die faster?

Back in Fleule, how many of Abraham’s so–called “brothers” had tried to get close to her? Not one had survived Abraham’s jkicks.

Even Eddie’s legs probably hadn’t healed yet.

When life and death were at stake. Jonathan suddenly remembered he was her real brother.

Where was that brotherly affection when he was endlessly pressuring her for Lilian’s sake?

Even today, he had only come to beg for Lilian’s life.

Real brother, my ass. I must’ve been cursed in a past life to end up stuck with this bloodline

Abraham’s hand moved toward his waist

Jonathan stammered, “No, Stella, listen, let me explain-”

Stella saw Abraham’s movement too.

She immediately slipped out of his arms. “Oh, right! I just remembered – I forgot to feed my little bunny. I need to go do that. You guys take your time chatting!”

If she stayed, things would only spiral further out of control.

Ethan was speechless.

Jonathan was speechless.

She’s leaving to feed a rabbit? When I’m about to die here?!

Watching Stella disappear out the door, Jonathan completely panicked. “Stella!”

Hearing him shout, Stella’s steps only got faster–in a flash, she was gone.

Ethan was speechless.

Jonathan was speechless.

That damned girl really wants me dead here!

Jonathan turned, horrified, back toward Abraham.

At that moment, Abraham was playing with his gun, spinning it casually in his hand.

Jonathan hadn’t even seen him move – but with a sharp click, the barrel was suddenly pressed against his forehead,

Why why did I come to find Stella? Am I crazy!

Ethan stepped forward urgently. “Mr. Abraham-

Bang-

A single gunshot.

For a moment, the air fell deathly silent- Then Jonathan’s blood–curdling scream tore through the quiet.
