Chapter 665 No Exit Left
But Ethan had it all wrong…
Falvaria’s Mr. Abraham held terrifying power in his hands. He would burn everything to the ground before letting the word “compromise” enter his vocabulary.
There had only ever been one person he’d compromised for.
“What’s the status of the Reed family now?”
“Completely bankrupt,” Abel reported.
The Reed Group had finally shattered beyond repair.
Abel hesitated, then added, “Also, Patrick’s mistress ran off with some man… and took the twins with her.”
“Ran off?” Abraham asked, brows raised.
Abel nodded. “Yes. After the Reed Group collapsed, she disappeared with that guy–kids and all.”
Abraham went quiet.
Ran off with another man… and took the kids?
Something flickered in his eyes—an interest that bordered on amusement. “Rivermount’s been lively lately.”
Abel agreed. “Very.”
Both the Keene and Reed families were in utter chaos. Lillian’s death hadn’t even caused much of a stir- they were all too busy trying to survive.
Abraham chuckled and set his coffee cup down. “Pass that along to Star later. She’ll love it.”
Ever since Stella returned from Rivermount, she’d taken a liking to gossip.
Whenever Tessa told her something juicy, she lit up.
Stella slept straight through until four in the afternoon.
When the butler came in to report the latest about the Reed family, she was stunned into silence.
“She ran?” she repeated.
With a man?
Wait, what?!
That was beyond scandalous.
The butler nodded. “Mr. Abraham said it himself. It’s confirmed.”
Stella was floored.
If Abel had passed it along, it had to be true.
Patrick had given up everything for that woman–abandoned his family, cut off Susan, walked away from every piece of leverage.
And now?
The woman took the kids and vanished the moment the money ran out?
Stella sucked in a sharp breath. “So then…”
“Do you think the kids weren’t his?”
She ran off with someone who accepted her and two children?
That woman must’ve been some kind of siren.
Unless, of course, the kids weren’t Patrick’s to begin with.
The butler nodded. “That’s the most likely explanation.”
Stella said, “Then Patrick’s probably not long for this world.”
“Hm?”
The butler didn’t follow.
“He’s going to get himself killed,” Stella said. “Out of pure rage.”
Right.
Mona–Kelly’s mother.
Kelly had been involved, and the consequences had been severe.
Stella’s tone was sharp. “Tell her to leave.”
No hesitation.
She had no intention of seeing Mona. Kelly’s case was closed as far as she was concerned.
The maid nodded and left.
The butler turned to Stella. “Nearly all of the Tom family’s assets are under the young master’s control now. Derrick didn’t take much when he left.”
Stella went quiet.
Back then, Derrick had been hunted across the globe.
To Abraham, the Tom family had been nothing but trash to be eliminated.
“They’re nothing like they used to be.”
Kelly…
One thing Stella still didn’t understand was Holt’s attitude.
Since that event three years ago, he’d barely done anything to help Kelly.
Moments later, the maid returned again.
“Miss.”
Stella looked up. “Now what?”
“Madam Tom says if you won’t see her, she’ll throw herself on the ground out front and refuse to leave.”
Stella raised an eyebrow.
A grown woman—a so–called elder–resorting to this kind of theatrics?

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....
