The Wrong Girl and the Wronged Girl (Stella and Ethan) novel Chapter 375

Chapter 375 The Reed Family Falls Apart

Now Tessa was finding everyone to gossip to something to calm her nerves.

When Rianne saw Stella arrive, she said into the phone, “All right, all right. You should tell Star all this.

Tessa replied. “She didn’t answer earlier.

“Oh, so that’s why.”

No wonder Tessa had dragged me into the gossip all along; she just couldn’t get a hold of Stella.

Stella hadn’t been much of a gossip at first.

But over time, Tessa had definitely rubbed off on her

Sometimes it wasn’t so bad to indulge in a little gossip.

“Was that Tessa on the phone?” Stella asked, lifting her water glass to take a sip.

Rianne nodded and spooned some ice cream into her mouth. “Yes. She’s practically terrified over there in Falvaria. Can you save her?”

Stella said, “Abraham told me that Tessa’s situation is complicated right now. Since Mr. Victor is willing to investigate, staying with him is actually the safest option. Actually, in my opinion, with people out to kill her and even chasing her as far as Falvaria, there’s really no safer place than at Mr. Victor’s side.”

Rianne raised an eyebrow. “You mean the guy dodging bullets while dragging her through. gunfire? Are you sure that’s safer?”

Stella paused. “…!!”

Come to think of it, that was a little intense for someone like Tessa.

Stella was about to ask the waiter for the same ice cream Rianne was having, but Rianne said, “I already ordered one for you. You weren’t here earlier, so I told them to wait. I didn’t want it to melt.”

Stella smiled. “Oh.”

I really had been craving some.

When I was around Abraham, he usually didn’t let me have any.

Just as she was thinking about Abraham, her phone rang.

It was him.

“You’re out?”

“Yeah. You said you weren’t coming back for dinner, so I went out with Rianne.”

“Send me your location.”

“Huh?”

“I’ll pick you up when I’m done.”

“Okay.

Hearing Abraham say he’d come get her gave Stella a little warmth inside. After hanging up. she immediately sent him her location.

just as she put the phone down, the ice cream arrived.

It had been a long time since Stella had any. Abraham was usually afraid it would upset her stomach, so he only let her have a few bites.

As she ate, she asked Rianne, “So what did Tess say earlier?”

“She said that Rebecca took the money and ran. The Reed family is in total chaos right now.”

“Pfft! Cough, cough, cough…

The words “took the money and ran” made Stella choke.

She stared at Rianne, stunned. “Rebecca took the money and ran? Seriously?”

Rianne nodded. “Definitely.”

Stella was speechless.

“She took all of Jonathan’s money. And Patrick took what was left from the company.”

“…” Stella was stunned.

“Now the whole Reed family is a disaster. One has a useless hand, one is chronically ill, and the other doesn’t make a dime. If that’s not the end, what is? I used to think I could squeeze a few million out of them. But now? They’ve got nothing”

When Rianne said “nothing,” her tone was full of resentment.

After all, I had gone to the trouble of making a personal visit, even to weave such an elaborate ruse.

And in the end I got nothing.

Stella asked, “Are they really that broke?”

The Reeds had been well off in Rivermount. How could they suddenly not be able to afford a few million?

Rianne shrugged. “Rebecca came out of nowhere and drained them of every last drop.

Well, I guess Rebecca was not to be underestimated.

This woman had a child with Jonathan just to marry into money.

But after spending a few days there, with a brain like hers, the must have found out the truth.

There was nothing left for her, so of course she’d take the money and leave.

“Lillian’s definitely not going to make it, Stella said.

Rianne nodded. “Serves her right.”

After all that arrogance….

She almost killed Stella.

Speaking of the Reeds, Rianne’s voice was full of satisfaction. “It’s so satisfying. The whole Reed family is the talk of Rivermount now. You should have seen how smug Madam Susan used to be. She acted as if everyone else was beneath her. Well, look at her now. The women she used to bully are all enjoying the show.”

Stella remained silent.

Well… I had to admit, it was quite satisfying.
