The Returned Heiress Who Never Fit In

Chapter 301 A Bloodline That Means Nothing

Stella shook her head. “No need.”

That kind of bloodline only brought suffocation by its very existence.

After the Reed family had spent the last two years trying to hunt me down, now they wanted to talk about blood ties?

Ethan’s breathing on the other end of the line tightened noticeably.

It was as if he hadn’t understood what Stella had just said. He said in a suppressed voice, “The Reed family has someone now. Her biological brother.”

Abraham chuckled darkly. “Didn’t you hear what Star just said? She doesn’t need this, and besides, do you even have the right to talk about family ties?”

He emphasized the words “family ties with a tone full of mockery and disdain.

Ethan caught that tone too and immediately understood what Abraham meant.

It was a jab at how the Reed family had failed to distinguish who really mattered when it came to Lillian

and Stella.

Ethan’s grip on the phone tightened. “Lillian grew up in the Reed family. Of course there’s an emotional bond.”

Emotional attachment, huh?

It was understandable that they cared about Lillian, but when it came to Stella, all they’d shown was ruthless intent.

And now they expected me to show mercy out of respect for their blood connection?

Abraham let out a cold laugh. “If the Reed family weren’t her blood relatives, maybe things could have ended cleaner.”

Stella’s eyebrows twitched slightly at these words.
