Chapter 8 Cutting Her Off Financially? Sorry, She’s the Boss!

Ethan stormed into his car, his face dark with anger.

From the driver’s seat, Jason glanced at him in the rearview mirror. “So? Did Ms. Dawson finally calm down?”

To everyone else, Stella was just throwing a tantrum, trying to force Ethan to send Lillian away again.

Ethan pinched the bridge of his nose in frustration. “Like hell she did.”

Jason stayed silent. Fair enough.

Lillian had suddenly returned, and no one had even given Stella a heads-up.

“So she’s serious about canceling the wedding?”

Ethan didn’t answer. Is she really serious?

Thinking back on the past two years, he let out a cold chuckle. “What do you think?”

Serious? Could she really walk away that easily?

Jason thought about it. Probably not.

The Reed family despised Stella. If she didn’t marry Ethan, she had no other way out.

Not to mention, she had spent the past two years invested in Ethan.

Jason felt even more convinced—she was just throwing a fit. Sure, she was taking it too far, but it was nothing more than that…

Back at Kingston Heights, Stella stared at the pile of shopping bags in front of her and sighed. Thinking about the card she had mistakenly used earlier, she could feel a storm brewing.

She didn’t want to think about it anymore.

It had been a long day—trying on wedding dresses, shopping with Tessa—her legs were exhausted.

Deciding to treat herself, she ran a hot bath.

Just as she stepped out of the bathroom, feeling refreshed, the doorbell rang urgently.
