The Wrong Girl and the Wronged Girl (Stella and Ethan) novel Chapter 27

Chapter 27 Revenge Served Ice Cold

Even after trying to gather information through connections, she hadn’t been able to find anything. Now, Stella was asking Abraham directly. But the moment the words left her mouth, his eyes turned cold.

Abraham’s grip on her chin tightened. The distance between them closed, his warm breath brushing against her cheek- warm, yet laced with danger.

Stella swallowed. “Abraham”

Abraham’s voice was low. “Are you concerned about the Tom family, or are you concerned about Derrick?”

At the mention of Derrick, Stella’s heart clenched violently. “I-”

Feeling the sudden stiffness in her body, a sharp glint flashed through Abraham’s eyes.

Stella replied, “No.”

The Tom family became history a year ago. Does that answer satisfy you?”

Stella fell silent. History? He completely crushed them?

Hearing this, the tension in her body finally eased.

“Then what about the Tom family’s people now?”

“Do you really want to know?” Abraham’s tone became even more dangerous.

Stella shook her head. “No. As long as they can’t threaten you anymore, that’s enough.”

At that moment, the weight she had carried in her heart for the past three years finally lifted.

Abraham raised an eyebrow, but before he could speak, Stella suddenly threw her arms around his neck, sobbing uncontrollably, as if she had suffered the greatest grievance.

Her instinctive reaction shattered the anger in Abraham’s eyes. His hands, frozen midair, hesitated for a moment. Then, as Stella continued crying hysterically, they finally wrapped around her slender waist.

Stella clung to him tightly. “How’s Mom?”

Abraham held her close. “So now you remember she’s your mother?”

He had thought that after returning to the Reed family, she had completely erased Falvaria from her life. But now, she only held him tighter, crying even harder.

Two hours later, Stella had recounted everything that happened three years ago–haltingly, between sobs.

In all her three years in Rivermount, she had never once cried. Not even when the Reed family treated her so horribly. But the moment she spoke about everything that had happened in Falvaria, the tears wouldn’t stop.

The Dawson family had always been her greatest support.

And Abraham… had always been her safe harbor.

Losing both overnight had been like falling into hell. For the past three years, she had barely dared to think about it.

Just as people had said, when she left, the Dawson family had been in the midst of a raging storm.

If she had a choice, she would have stayed by Abraham’s side. But the Tom family.. Kelly.. that woman who had always

If she refused, they would kill her mother. With no other option, Stella had to comply.

She had to leave the Dawson family. Had to cut off all contact with Abraham.

Three years ago, the Tom family had ruled over Falvaria like kings.

Finished

With her father gone so suddenly and Abraham’s foundation still unstable, he hadn’t stood a chance against them. He and Derrick had always been at odds, and Kelly, in her obsession with Abraham, had prevented Derrick from targeting Dawson family projects.

Stella couldn’t afford to drag him into danger.

If her departure could buy the Dawson family even a moment of peace, she was willing to give him that breathing room.

The more Abraham listened, the colder his expression became. They threatened you, and you just gave in?”

“I didn’t have a choice. They used my mother’s life to threaten me.”

Abraham’s gaze darkened. “And that was enough for you to cut all ties with us?

“I was scared!”

The moment she admitted it, the grievance she had buried for years came surging back. Even looking at any news about hims over the years, she had done so cautiously. Especially during that first year after she left the Dawson family–Kelly had constantly.threatened her.

That explained why she returned to the Reed family and even agreed to an engagement with Ethan.

From the outside, Abraham had seemed to rise quickly over the past three years, gaining control over Falvaria’s entire underground world.

But she had still been afraid. Afraid that the Tom family could still pose a threat to him.

Now that she had explained everything, Abraham remained as cold and unrelenting as ever, which only made Stella feel event more wronged.

Her eyes reddened as she looked at him.

“What about Kelly?”

That despicable woman–Stella would have killed her herself if she had the chance.

Abraham replied, “Disabled. In prison.”

“Prison? You put her in prison?”

Abraham shot her a cold glance, his expression unchanged, as if his anger hadn’t dissipated at all.

Stella tugged at his sleeve, silently looking at him with grievance.

Abraham scoffed. “Useless. After everything you’ve been through, you’re still the one feeling sorry for yourself? What did I teach you all those years?”
