The Returned Heiress Who Never Fit In

Chapter 136 You Call That a Guilt Gift?

She called it an apology gift, but honestly, forget Abraham not buying it–even she didn’t believe that nonsense. What the heck is Louis thinking? Does he even have a brain? He is completely unreliable.

Sure enough, Abraham raised a brow and said, “An apology gift?”

The disbelief in his voice couldn’t have been more obvious..

Stella nodded. “Yeah. His sister Sharon got into a fight with me, remember? He said this was a gift to make up for it.”

If she was being honest, this whole thing reeked of Louis trying to sneak in through the back door. She’d already made it clear back then–no matter what he gave her, that door was staying shut

With a sharp snap, the velvet ring box in Abraham’s hand closed; he tossed it straight into the trash.

Stella froze. He’s so mean!

She pouted, looking at Abrahamn with wide, innocent eyes.

“Right? I mean, does he have something wrong with his head? I was totally stunned when I saw it was a ring”

The guy clearly had zero common sense. No wonder Abraham didn’t want anything to do with working with him.
